Jokers In A Deck Of Love

Part 24

"Lord help my baby....in the name of Jesus help my baby!"

Frank and his mom sat in the waiting room. Both holding each others hands as Mrs Gordon prayed for Ashley. One shot to abdominal. She was two hours  in surgery as the two sat there waiting on the doctor to come give them an update.

"Momma im sorry...momma im so sorry!" Cried out Frank

Laysia was apprehended and arrested on the scene of the crime. Frank and Mrs Gordon pressed charges against her for shooting Ashley. Frank sat there and thought about what all was going on. From his dealings with Reba... to finding out from his mom that Reba was really their sister.

Investigators still at the time tried to figure out who may have shot Reba in the back. And the murder of Samantha was almost at a cold case file due to no leads in three days.

Suddenly....

"Hey Mrs Gordon? Im Doctor Russell."

Mrs Gordon and Frank shook his hand eagerly to knowing what was up with Ashley.

"Well Doc?"

"Ashley is going be just fine. The bullet did rupture a lung and grazed her stomach lining. But in all shes going to survive. We're getting her room together now...we'll let you know when you guys can come see her."

Mrs Gordon immediately hugged Frank as the two still waited....

**Two Days later**

"Momma what time we going to see Ashley, you know her butt up early wanting some breakfast!"

Mrs Gordon laughed....

"Yea my baby can have whatever she want. But just as soon as I run to the post office....we can go!"

"Aite im about to get in the shower!"

Mrs Gordon walked to the kitchen and noticed a phone hiding under the table. She picked it up seeing that it was Laysias phone. She went to the back, charged it up and looked through it being nosy. She could see all the messages that Laysia had been sending Dereck. Finding out the whole truth, Mrs Gordon texted him back from it playing like she was Laysia.

"Meet me at the post office on Walter Streer. What kind of car you driving now?"

Dereck responded quickly....

"The same black Oldsmobile....is she dead? And ok ill be waiting on you"

Mrs Gordon didnt respond

**20 mins later....

Mrs Gordon could see the car already parked over across from the post office. Dereck not knowing who she was, could see an old lady getting in her car. Mrs Gordon passed the car and eventually turned around. A rainy morning and nobody was out. She pulled back beside the car...

"Can I help you maam!" Asked Dereck confused to not knowing

Mrs Gordon reached in her purse....

"Yea im looking for a Dereck?"

"Yea thats me...why how you know me?"

**BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM**

Killing Derrick dead.

"Dont nobody mess with my family. Lord please forgive me!"

**stay tuned for the FINALE**
