Mark's Pov

They rushed her to the hospital trying to save both of them, they peeled her outfit off picking at the makeup. It's the only way to get it off without Linda's wipes. But I'm not selling Linda out. They took me to the hospital room she will be staying at and they out armed policemen at each side of the door. I took the stuff off of my face and fixed my hair. No reason for it to be on now. I sat in the chair trying not to pull my hair out. I need to be here so they can save them. And with me out of the way, the press will not know she is here.

"Mr. Mark." Carl rushed in but was stopped but the police.

"He is with me," I said to them, the nodded the let him in.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Carl, no. This mysterious guy comes up and challenged me then had someone sniper Amy in the stomach. She is fighting for both hers and our child's life." I collapsed onto the ground crying. "Carl, tell me the truth. Out child is not going to make it."

He sat next to me holding me,

"we will find this sick son-of-a-bitch. He will pay for his crimes."

"Not only did he shoot my daughter-in-law and grandchild, he shot a baby and an innocent." My mom said walking in.

"I know I need to be strong, but right now. I just can't do it. The reason for me to be alive is fighting to keep her and our child's life alive and there is not a damn thing I can do about it." More tears poured out. I felt like I have been stabbed in the heart, my breathing was getting worse.

"It's okay son, we will be strong for you." My dad walked in. "Let's get you off of the floor and into a chair."

I stood up keeping my eyes closed, the room was spinning.

"How did you find out?" I asked sitting in the chair.

"You told them the code word, once the code word is given they are to tell us. We called Carl." My mom said sitting next to me. My eyes are still closed I can just hear her.

"Who else knows?"

"Just us."

"I need to find out who the coward is."

"Do you remember what he looks like?" My dad asked.

I tried to picture him but my mind kept going back to Amy, she was so scared. I felt her hand going down my back to the gun. She was going to shoot him. That's why they took the shot. I focused on him, his voice I remember it.

"You will not get away with this."

Where did I hear that before? Almost all of my meetings that go south.

"You will not get away with this."

The voice rang again.

"Just wait until you start a family."

My eyes shot open as I jumped up.

"That son of a bitch," I said.

"What's wrong?" My mom asked.

"When we where in court, I went to the bathroom before we left and there was a guy in there. He told me that I destroyed his family, then he told me to wait until I start one. I pushed him into the wall then threw him on the ground."

"Who is it?" Carl asked.

"I don't know, but he was able to watch Amy and know that she is carrying my child."

"I will do some digging, right now you need to rest for Miss. Amy."

We stayed in the room talking about anything other than the truth. After a few hours, a doctor came in.
