"Shit shit shit", I quickly ran out checking on him he was knocked out with blood all over his clothes it's was already midnight I pulled him inside the car with great effort Dan he was heavy I drove home driving into the garage I open the door to the basement putting him on the table taking out my gloves I cut his shirt off seeing that he got shot fuck I stopped looking at him.
"Crown? How did he get shot?" I started to assess the bullet wound. An hour later, I removed my gloves and headed upstairs, stopping in the living room before checking on the twins.
"Nope, not tonight. Get back in the crib," I said, seeing them climbing out.
"Mommy!" they both exclaimed happily. I sanitized my hands and gently placed them back in their crib.
"Rest time. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Mommy," they replied. After making sure they were settled, I pulled out my laptop, searching for information on Crown Knight—undercover FBI agent from Quantico. It was surprising; he still looked the same, just more mature.
I noticed he was working undercover on a case. After checking on the twins again, I went to my room to take a shower and change into pajamas. Feeling hungry, I headed back downstairs to heat up some food when Crown walked in, gun drawn and pointed at me. I set my food down and sat at the island.
"Where the hell am I?" his hoarse voice demanded.
"Will you put the gun down, Crown? It's not like you're going to shoot the person who saved your life."
"You hit me with your car! How do you know my name?" He aimed the gun at my face, and I sighed.
"It's me—the poor girl from high school. Not that you would remember." He lowered the gun, leaning against the counter as I continued to eat.
"And I didn't hit you with my car; you ran in front of it," I replied, trying to stay calm. He pulled out his phone.
"Fuck, I have to go. Thanks. Do you have any shirts?"
"Nope." He walked out, and I finished my meal, locking up before heading to bed, but not before checking on the twins one last time.
