Chapter 55: Executives

Song: Holy Death By Mr.Kitty

Scarlett's POV

A pair of hands rattle me awake, "Scar?" I hear Lizzie's voice. "Doctor is waiting for you. She'll only talk to you." I'm wide awake now, almost jumped out of the seat. "She's outside." Nicole added to Lizzie's information. I took a deep breath before grabbing the door handle, "Ms. Johansson?" I met with Y/N's doctor. "How are they?" I felt my heart pounding as her pause felt like a lifetime. "Come with me." The doctor and my security walked into a conference room. Once the door closes, she spills "I'm Dr. Medina, one of Y/N's doctors. For the moment, they're stable. One of their broken ribs was causing difficulty breathing, so we had to stabilize their breathing before continuing." She pauses. "They'll need surgery to relocate their fractured ribs. The stab wound, luckily, didn't penetrate any major organs but the blows to their abdomen caused internal bruising. So that means no activities that require lifting for additional 3 weeks. Bedrest for 4 days, to let their body recover from the trauma." She continues, causing some confusion on my part. "Why do I feel like there's a but?" I admitted, trying to read her body gestures. "While we were doing scans, we found 2 bullets. One of our scans caused these bullets to move. We're now waiting for Brigadier General Brewer and his team." Dr. Medina, slightly anxious, explains.

Lizzie's POV

While Scarlett met with the doctor, I made sure to call our families. "I called Fernando and Melanie. I need to call Hunter and my sisters, they will kill me if I don't." I let Nicole know as she gets a hold on my mom, planning if it's a good idea to bring the kids. As I try to get Hunter on the line, I see Robbie walk in. "Where's Scarlett?" He questioned, slightly out of breath. "She's with the doctor. Nice to see that secrecy is taken seriously here." I chuckled at unfortunate past experiences. "Well here's the emergency bag for her." He melts into the seat. Once Hunter finally answered my call, I stood up and started to pace around. "Hey, are you busy right now?" Sometimes we catch bad timing like him driving, in a meeting, or in the bathroom. "I'm actually just leaving my office, going home now." I can hear his confusion as I hear a door close. "Why?" Hunter's voice became clearer. "I'm guessing you're in your car?" "Elizabeth, what happened?" Him saying my government name brings my sweaty palms. "Is there any chance you could catch a flight? Scarlett needs you, she's safe. But she needs all of the support right now. It's Y/N, they're in the hospital." I rambled. "I'll be there, keep me in touch." He hangs up. Rude but understandable.

With my sisters, they LOVE Y/N that I first texted them through our group chat. Fortunately, Ashley went over to Mary-Kate's for dinner, so Ashley immediately facetimes. I start overthinking as I answer, "What happened?" Ashley gets cautious as my silence deafens. "It's Y/N." Is all my mouth says as the connection of my mind to my mouth is absent. There was a pause moment in the call. "We'll be there as soon as we can." I hear Mary-Kate yell out. "Be safe, my security will meet both at the airport. Our security could be overwhelming but it's what Y/N commanded." The twins gave me a concerned look as the screen became steady. "What do you mean?" Ashley questioned. "Sis, I'm so sorry but we've signed an NDA." I simplified, knowing that they'll dig it out of me. "Don't. By Y/N orders, both of you don't have access to this. It's for your own safety. Please text me when you land." I continued as their facial expressions rambled. "Be safe, lizard. I'll text you, see you soon." Ashley hangs up the call, leaving me in this uncomfortable silence.

Third Person POV

Lieutenant Colonel Riggs and Brigadier General Brewer followed by more troops get around the station where Y/N is admitted. While Brewer goes to meet with Dr.Medina, Riggs meets with the family, interrupting Nicole who's talking to Jarnette. "I need to go, Jarnette. Sorry, I'll update you later." Nicole stared at Riggs as she excused herself. "Riggs, what happened?" Nicole cautiously questioned. "Y/N is stable, we need you all to simplify your explanations for any incoming family. For NDAs, there will be no extensions. For the moment, we've been notified of potential evidence. For your safety, please keep indoors until further notice." Riggs explains with little information. "Robbie, you'll need to come with me for a moment." Riggs turns to Robbie, who's comforting his wife. Riggs lets the couple have a moment as Nicole seems relieved to hear that her best friend is stable. "I'm not letting them out of my sight, Nicole." Riggs goes to hug Nicole, causing her to melt in his arms. He'll do anything to protect his daughters and niece.

Riggs and Robbie head to the conference room. They see Scarlett sitting across Dr. Medina and General Brewer as they walk in. Robbie walks over to sit next to Scarlett as Colonel Riggs sits next to the General. "Why am I here?" Robbie asks as confusion settles. "You and Scarlett are under as an executive on Y/N's emergency documents." General Brewer answers as he fidgets with his hands. This causes Scarlett and Robbie to look at each other as they begin to sweat. "When Dr. Medina notified us about unclaimed evidence, we immediately contacted the doctors who attended them at the time of the rescue. I was informed that, at the time, the bullets were better kept in than removing them. This brings more evidence to the existing case. So Dr. Medina will be performing a surgery to remove these bullets, we're here to be witnesses." General Brewer explains. "One of these bullets is near a fractured rib and the other brings no harm since it's, fortunately, nowhere near a major organ. Our anesthesiologist should be coming in any second now to read the consent, it's a protocol that we need you both to understand clearly. Consent signature needs to be the spouse of Mx.Rodriguez followed by the witness, which would be Mr. Arnett here." Dr. Medina explains her next actions. "Hmm...Y/N and I aren't married..yet." Scarlett clears her throat as she corrects Dr. Medina, fidgeting with her hands. "My apologies, but Mx.Rodriguez has you as the authorized representative, legally. I assumed...again my apologies." Dr. Medina awkwardly explains her actions.

Scarlett signs the consent forms as the pen shivers in her hand. "Am I allowed to see them before?" Her chin quivered as she questioned to see her person. Dr. Medina and the anesthesiologist look at each other and quickly agree. "We need you to change first, they're already sterilized." The anesthesiologist says. "I have a pair of extra clothes with Lizzie, come on." Robbie guides Scarlett back into the waiting room. "No time to talk, she needs to change. I'll explain everything once I'm back." Robbie interrupts the rambling questions. Scarlett's just following Robbie like a lost dog. Once Scarlett is changed, both basically run back in the conference room. "Robbie, wanna join?" Dr. Medina asks. "Of course, I'm not leaving her like this." Robbie agrees.

Robbie's POV

Dr. Medina and the anesthesiologist lead the way into the pre-op area while General and Colonel follow behind Scarlett and I. I'm reminded about Y/N's 'in case' box that is in my closet. I try to block that negative reminder as my heart felt heavy. "Before we go in, General and Colonel, you'll be directed to the observation area. We'll move them in." Dr. Medina managed them to one of the nurses. As they walked over, Scarlett and I were guided into the Pre-op area. I could feel my heartbeat accelerate as the anesthesiologist announced '17' meaning the Y/N's curtained area. Scarlett, understandable, still out of it so I was the first one to see them in their gurney. I was winded by their state. The idiot who will do anything for their family, gosh I fucking hate them but I understand. I'd do anything to protect my wife and our family.

Scarlett's POV

The hallways felt eternal while Robbie and I were guided to Y/N. The final door opened, still following Robbie. I immediately recognized my Y/N as the curtains opened. They're covered with bloody sheets, seeing their chest rise and deflate. My hands are behind my back as I cautiously lean toward them. "Everyone's here for you, my love. I'm not going anywhere. Come back to us, healthy. You hear me, our family is waiting for you. I'll be waiting for you." I sniffed my tears away. I backed away, letting Robbie have a moment with Y/N. They'll get through this.
