Chapter Forty One

JJ moved Ruby behind him as the two men made their way on the porch, her heart sinking as she saw 'kitty hawk' printed onto the polo shirts.

" hey Ruby" One of the men said and JJ stiffened, "I'd back up if I were you.." JJ said lowly.

"I-i thought I still had a week.." Ruby breathed out, her voice an octave higher from anxiety as the two men looked her over.

"Our records show that you're coming with us today" The other man said and grabbed her arm.

Ruby squirmed, shrieking as her other arm was grabbed by the first worker.

JJ rushed forward, trying to grab her but he was shoved to the ground as she was drug to the station wagon.

" no! No let me go! You can't do this! No!" Ruby yelled, fighting against the hold, catching herself on the seat as she was shoved inside.

She banged on the window, screaming and crying in horror as JJ chased after the car, not being able to catch up.

He stood there in a cloud of dust, letting out a frustrated scream as he ran over to her truck, already dialing John B's number.

"JJ? What's wrong" John B asked, already hearing the panicked breathing on the other line, " they- they got her man! Fucking Kitty Hawk!" JJ yelled, tossing their bags in the passenger seat.

" JJ just leave her-" Kiara tried, "no! No you shut the hell up Kie" JJ hissed, flooring it out of the driveway.

"C'mon man we don't have time for this.." John B said, " then go without me okay? I need eight hours.." JJ said.

"Alright.. alright okay be safe.." John B said and hung up.

After an hour Ruby arrived at Kitty Hawk, being taken into a cabin and forced to change her clothes before being sent into in office.

She sat in the chair, messing with the charm of her 'J' necklace JJ had gotten her a few days ago.

"Ruby. Thank you for being so compliant" The woman said and she internally rolled her eyes, "I didn't really have a choice.." Ruby muttered.

The woman opened the folder in front of her, " alright looks like we have ODD, ADHD, anxiety, depression and high functioning autism. Great news is all these can be cured with therapy and medication" The woman explained.

Ruby sighed and leaned forward, "with all due respect miss.. I've tried both of those things before and they don't work for me" Ruby said.

" well I guess we'll see then. Here, go take your drug and pregnancy tests" The woman said and handed the items to her.

"Pregnancy test?" Ruby questioned,"mandatory." The woman said flatly.

She nodded and went into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

Ruby took the tests and waited, her heart leaping as the timer went off.

Time to find out..
