Maria Pov

I open my eyes and see two shadow over me. I blink and realise that the two shadow is Nique and Skull.

"Thank god you wake up." Skull says and kiss me on my forehead.

"What happened?" I ask trying to sit up.

"You faint and trust me you have me worried." Nique says hugging me.

I look around the room and we are the only ones in the huge room with machines to a corner of it.

"Where are we and where is Kahjeel?"

"Your at our family hospital and Kahjeel good him just cyah make it to you right now." Skull reply giving me a half smile.

I want to believe him but something deep inside of me says that something is wrong. I feel anxious and angry at the same time and all I want to do is find him and make sure he is okay.

"Skull can you please call Kahjeel, I want to talk to him." I ask sitting up fully in the bed.

"The man busy yah now Ria, him soon call. Him did call when you still a sleep." Skull reply.

Something is wrong but I'll not push it I'll just figure it out on my own.

"When can I leave?"

A tall handsome doctor walk in and Skull grab the opportunity to rush and greet him before he walk over to me and check my lungs and eyes.

More than likely he is making sure the doctor doesn't give away anything about Kahjeel.

Once the doctor is done checking me he step back and begin to let me know what is happening.

"So Ms Maria, how are you feeling?"

"Dehydrated and hungry."

He chuckle then shake his head "That is understandable, I understand you were hyperventilating before you collapsed on the ground. Did something happen to cause such a reaction?"

My mind goes back to the two guys and my hands start getting sweaty and I can't breath.

"Maria are you here with me?" I can hear the doctor asking before he grab my wrist.

"AHH, noooo, no don't kill me please.......no please don't kill me........ Kahjeel help me please.....pl."

A few hours later

"You nuh see a the same thing a take her again Skull, we can't tell her that."

"Nique, Busshead have court way a next week. The gun illegal suh him might nuh get nuh bail caz a Merica dat. We cyah tell lie suh long."

"We can tell her him a deal with business"

"You is a next fucking idiot. Busshead nuh go a day without check up pon her, she a nuh idiot she go suspect supn."

My eyes are closed as I listen Nique and Skull argue with each other on whether they should tell me about Kahjeel or not.

I knew something was wrong with him the moment I didn't see him when I woke up in here.

Kahjeel has been arrested in America with an illegal gun, chances are he will get years for it and I won't see him. I don't think I'm equipped to function without him here with me.

I feel someone shaking me so I open my eyes and see Skull smiling at me with my phone to his ears. He place the phone at my ears.

"Ria!"
