The Player Swap Up

Chapter 30

I didn't know whose house I was at. But I knew they were family when Cris got out of the car.

His face said it all.

Shock, panic, fear.

I got out quickly and went to stand beside him. "Is this...?" I began he nodded

Katia's house.

"There is a police officer over there. Let's go talk to him. I'm sure everything is fine." I said half reassuring myself as I rubbed his arm and took his hand.

I rushed to the police officer. Cris began speaking Spanish so fast I couldn't even keep up.

The police officer said something in and calming voice. It's okay. We are assessing damage now.

"Is everyone okay? Was anyone hurt?" I rushed out

The police officer hesitated. Oh gosh.

"Em there was... a small boy..." He said slowly trying to find the words .

Oh no.

Panic gripped my heart and squeezed the life out of it.

"A boy? A boy what?!" I yelled when he didn't finish

Please. Please. Please.

"He was found unconscious- he's okay..." He said struggling with the english.

"Where is he?" Cristiano demanded

The police officer looked around. He called over a paramedic. "Aqui aqui!"

"Que es el muchacho?" He asked

The paramedic looked at Cristiano and his eyes widened he ushered him to follow him.

We were led to an ambulance that was about to drive off. "Ay Ay ay!" He yelled at the driver.

He opened the back up and there Junior was. Laying on a stretcher with Katia and Dolores on either side of him. Cris jumped up next to the small boy and took his hand. I saw tears in his eyes as he kissed his head.

"I'll drive to the hospital," I told him "They only allow family in the ambulance.

Cristiano nodded but didn't look up. The paramedic closed the ambulance doors and it sped off. "What happend?" I asked the paramedic.

"We aren't sure miss." He said looking sheepish.

I shook my head and got back into my car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.

When I got to the hospital I rushed to the front desk. "Hi, I need to know about Cristiano Ronaldo Junior."

The receptionist looked up at me and smirked "Right. I'm sure you do." She said in an Irish accent

"No no no I'm Alex Morgan. I'm with Cristiano." I explained

C'mon I need to get in there.

"You and every other girl in the world."

"I'm serious. I need to get back there. Now!" I yelled

She put her pen down and gave me a spiteful look. "I would ask that you not yell."

"And I would ask that you give me the information I need." I said cold as ice.

She gave me a hard look and I finally got tired of it. "Fine, I'll find it."

I began walking to the elevator and hit the button. I called Katia "Hey. What floor is he on? The witch from the front desk wouldn't tell me." I said getting on the elevator feeling ansy.
