The Body Guard

Handcuffs

Jack

Rushing to the hospital where Jordan was being held I by pass the on lookers.  I was release and hour ago but traffic made it no better.

Even though Lily Cruz was found dead in my home there were no actually evidence that I had pull the trigger considering the bullet that was found in her body wasn't any one of my guns.  Those bullets were custom made.  I handed it to George to gift his daughter a custom made gun.

Entering the lobby I was met with Gerad who seemed like he hadn't slept in days and Brad who looked scared.  Grabbing Gerad by the collar, "I gave you one job, one fucking job and you fucked it up!"

"Jack, let him go.  It is not his fault she was in an accident."  I don't know exactly what had happened to her but I will find out.  Brad tried to pry me away from Gerad but I wasn't having it.

"I was wondering when you were going to show up."  Officer Deleon came out of her room smiling.

"What the hell are you doing here?"  I released Gerad only to glare at the man before me.

"Apprehending a suspect."

"You mean arresting her?"  How I wanted to punch him.  "She is in a god damn hospital for god's sake."  Pushing him aside to enter her room, I was heart broken to see her in such a state.  I wanted to fall to my knees and cry, but I didn't.  I wanted to be in her place but I wasn't.  She was bruised, her lips scarred and her skin was pale.  Next to her was the IV bag dripping down her system, the machine that reads her heart rate and her hand was hand cuff to the bed like some damn criminal.

Must be uncomfortable for her.  Storming back outside I stood facing him, "Seriously Deleon a hand cuff.  She is in a god damn coma.  Get it off now!" I growled.

"No, she might flee once she wakes up."

"And where the hell is she going to go? She can't even run let alone flee in her condition."

"Family of Jordan Richard."  A man in a lab coat appeared before us.

"This isn't finished."  I snapped at Deleon before giving the doctor my full attention.

"I'm her boyfriend."  This was actually the first time I had declared me her boyfriend out loud and quite frankly I liked it.  Makes me wonder how I would feel if I should call her my wife.

"She has suffered from major damage along her ribs.  Her x-ray showed a few fractured ribs, swollen in the brain but we were able to released the pressure and it had subsided.  We are just waiting on a few more results, also regarding..."

"The baby how's the baby.  She is pregnant with my child."  I asked frantically.

"I'm sorry but we couldn't save one of them."  His voice soft almost a whisper.

I lost the baby.  No!  Tears that never even bother to spill before were now leaking from my eyes.

"Oh Jack."  JJ wrapped her warm hands around my torso. 

My baby, who didn't even get to see the world is gone.  Oh what is Jordan going to think when she finds out that she had lost our baby.

How could this have happened.  Looking back, the first thing I did was punch Gerad straight in the jaw.

"Jack."  JJ held me back along with Officer Deleon.

"Calm down son."  Deleon softly spoke. It was a name he use to call me when we were once friends.  And he knew what that meant.

"Don't fucking tell me to calm down! My girlfriend, our baby is gone because, I trusted you Gerad.  How the hell did you let this happen?"  Picking up the nearby end stand I threw it and slammed it down startling the doctor and nurses near by.

"I'm sorry boss."  He stood up on his feet wiping the blood on his lips.  "I was only gone for a second but I was on my way back."

"Gone, because of you she is lying in the hospital bed hand cuff with no baby in..."

"Excuse me..." the doctor proceeded to interrupt.

"Shut up."  I yelled causing the doctor to flinch at my outburst.  "How Gerad? How the hell did she end up in that state?" I wanted to kill him for what had happened to Jordan. He wasn't suppose to leave her but if I killed him and Jordan finds out, she'll kill me for sure.

"When I got to her, I had seen she had killed three maybe five men.  I don't know."

"She killed them?"  I was surprise to hear this.

"Yes, she was holding her stomach while shooting..."

Dropping to my knees, she was protecting our child.  Even if it would cost her, her life she was protecting what was not yet born.  "Continue."

I was rushing but I didn't get to her on time as men had surrounded her.  Surprisingly she only got shot in the shoulders.

"Only?  She should have not been shot in the first place!"

"Um...sir..." The doctor proceeded to gain my attention but I wanted to hear what had happened to my Jordan.

"I saw her lost her balance as she fell into the road, that is when a car hit her."

She was hit by a car! I could feel my face was burning with rage and drained of all blood at the same time.  Jordan was hit by a car! 

"Jack listen to the damn doctor he has been calling you for ages."  JJ snapped making me gawk at the man.  What could be more important than to know what happened to Jordan.

"Your baby, one survive."

"One survive, what the hell do you mean...twins!"  The doctor nodded.

Jordan was going to have twins!  As much as I was still sad and upset we had lost a child I was still happy that at least one baby survive.

Entering her room I gawked at Jordan who remained peacefully sleeping in bed, "Hi baby, I am so sorry please open those beautiful eyes of yours."  Kissing her on the forehead I stared at her hand with the hand cuff.  A light red mark was now showing.  "I'll get these off soon."

Lowering myself to her stomach, "Hello baby, it is daddy please be strong.  Be strong for me and mommy.  We love you very much."  My lips lightly kissing her stomach.  "I am sorry little one."
