Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chapter Forty-Nine

" She got what? " Austin exclaimed on his earplugs.

I frowned.

" Okay. Okay. No, not okay. " he said.

I frowned harder.

Austin nodded, then looked at me.

" Sir, Allana has been shot. "

" Yeah, remember, the phone call, she's been shot on the leg-"

" No, sir, that wasn't her, she wasn't shot on the leg on that phone call, now, she

" What?! " I exclaimed.

" She's in Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. "

" We have to go there now. "

" Okay, sir. "

" I'll notify Brad and James. " I said.

We entered the car and drove to the hospital.

I phoned in Brad.

" Hello?" he said

" We caught Carmela, Allana has been shot, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. " I said in a hurry, I'm panicking.

" Got it. See you there. "

I hung up then phoned in James.

" James? " I said.

" Speaking. "

" It's Harry. Carmela did it. Allana's in Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. She's been shot. "

" Okay, I'll be on my way. "

I hung up.

" Austin, what happened? " I asked.

" Sir, she's been shot, I heard that it is near the hear, and that she's undergoing surgery as we speak. "

" That'll be, for how long? "

" About 4 to 6 hours."

I realised that I was scratching myself to hard, and the back of my hand hurted to much.

" There is no way I'm going to lose her this way. " I said

I phoned Wills.

" Hello? " he said

" We're on our way to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. Allana got shot. "

" Okay, we'll be there as soon as we can. Carmela? " he said.

" We got her. "

" Okay. Does Allana requiresurgery? "

" Of course! It'll be for about 4 to.. 4 to... " I couldn't breathe.

" Harry? "

" 4 to... " I said.

" Expect us in 2 hours. "

" O.. okay. "

I hung up.

I can't lose her.

And I won't lose her.

" Austin, I want you to find out why Carmela did this. "

" Right away sir. "

" Thank you. "

I grabbed a bottle of Evian which is conviniently placed on the cupholder on the door.

And took a huge gulp of it.

And I closed my eyes and tried to think about the happy memories that Allana and I have to make me feel a little better.

I recalled the time I told her that there is no need for formalities.

I kissed her on the yacht.

When she said yes in the acted out engagement.

Our everyday arguements which, up to now, I do not know why she wins every arguement.

Fairy dinosaurs.

Our first Christmas together.

Her decision to marry me.

The wedding day.

Her wedding gift to me.

The Jaguar.

Her announcement.

Our friday homemade dinners.

Her queasiness.

Spending everyday with her is always happy.

But lately, since her miscarriage, then her mother's death, and everything, Allana does not seem happy anymore.

I think she's very hurt and traumatized now because she knows that her sister has tried to kill her countless times.

And her sister is not getting away with it.

Oh, right.

She's not!

We caught her.

But with the side effect, my wife's gonna get herself opened.
