A Family Vacation

Chapter 17: Lena's Revenge

Bjorn's POV
June 10, 2019

Today has got to be one of the most intense days of my life or maybe even in a very, very long time. Let me recap my day so far. I woke up this morning with the wrong woman on the other side of my bed yet again. The woman I do want to be with is another golden haired woman who I am desperately concerned about since she stopped eating almost completely and has already lost a significant amount of weight ever since our date night. From there, I spent about 45 minutes at the gym working out because I'm still a very athletic person, even at my old age before heading back to my room and getting ready for yet another eventful day. Lena and I went down for breakfast and we saw Agnetha in the lobby looking pale and ghastly and I was concerned for her. Really concerned. Lena felt the opposite and we had a heated argument without knowing that Anna was still there. I told Lena there and then that I wanted to divorce along with the fact that I knew about her revenge, but Lena apparently has already gotten her revenge. Either way, it really frightened Agnetha and while Frida and I tried to comfort her upstairs, she collapsed.

"AGNETHA! AGNETHA!" I yelled.
"OH MY GOD! SOMEBODY HELP! PLEASE!" Frida yelled.

NO, NO, NO, NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!, I thought. Everyone else came out of their rooms upon hearing the commotion. Jens and Isabelle took Esther, Signe, and Nike away along with Emma and her kids, so it was just Benny, Frida, Gorel, Linda, Christian, Tilda, and I with her. Lena was nowhere to be seen and Henry had volunteered to go for the walk that he and Frida were planning to do together all alone, because he sensed that our situation with Agnetha was much more important than taking a walk.

"EVERYONE STAY HERE WITH HER, I'M GOING DOWN TO THE LOBBY TO CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Benny shouted. Benny ran down to the lobby along with Jens and Christian. Anna was still lying there unconscious, pale, and very thin. Henry came rushing back after Frida had frantically sent him a text explaining to him what had happened to Agnetha. At that exact moment, the ambulance arrived with Benny, Jens, Christian, and some of the hotel staff behind them.

The paramedics immediately began working on Agnetha while the rest of us were told to stay back. At this point, I couldn't stop crying and I couldn't see what the paramedics were doing to her. Lena came back upstairs at that exact moment and she immediately took notice of what had happened.

"What the hell happened?! Is she alright?!" She asked, pretending to sound concerned but hiding it really well.
"Agnetha's collapsed. I don't know what exactly happened to her, but this doesn't look good," Frida sighed.
"Poor thing," Lena sighed, still pretending to sound concerned.

Meanwhile, I stayed back with Benny and Christian holding me back. Linda and Tilda were in tears as the paramedics loaded Agnetha onto a stretcher and into the elevator and onto the ambulance. We immediately went into Agnetha's room that she shared with Tilda and Linda and collected some of her things. We planned to meet Agnetha at the hospital, but when we got to the lobby we noticed that the ambulance was still there and hadn't left yet. Only Benny had the guts to ask one of the paramedics what went wrong.

"As soon as we got Agnetha into the ambulance, her blood pressure dropped. So, we had to stabilize her. But she's ok now, she's stable," the paramedic said. I couldn't believe what I just heard. I thought it was too good to be true and I thought my whole world had disappeared. The paramedic got inside the front of the ambulance and it drove off. The rest of us managed to find the caravan and we followed the ambulance on it's way to the hospital.

After a long drive that felt like eternity, we finally arrived at the hospital. The ambulance was already there and the paramedics had just wheeled Agnetha in. We sat around for a while and prayed that Agnetha would be ok. After another hour, which felt like six hours, a doctor finally came out.

"Are you guys the family of Agnetha Faltskog?" The doctor asked.
"Yes! Yes, we are her family! And some friends as well!" I exclaimed, as we all stood up in anticipation.
"What happened?! Will she be ok?!" Linda asked.
"Everything is fine now. She's still feeling very weak and she's still unconscious but she's doing a little bit better," the doctor responded.
"That's good, but we still don't know what exactly what the hell happened!" I exclaimed.
"Apparently, she may have been poisoned by something, we are still unsure of what exactly poisoned her, but as soon as she arrived here, we pumped her stomach and got all the toxins out of her system. She'll be kept under intensive care and under observation until she makes any significant improvements"
"Thank you doctor," Christian responded.
"No worries and you all may see her"

As we all found our way to Agnetha's room, I can't help but wonder how Lena was able to poison Agnetha. I knew it had to be Lena because she had been planning revenge on Anna for quite some time. We reached Agnetha's bedside and there she was: pale as a ghost. She was sound asleep with an oxygen mask on her face and IV fluids up her right arm and wires across her chest. We were all crying as we saw her in that condition, not a single eye was dry. Well, not everyone was crying. Lena was outside the room and I heard a sound coming from her that sounded a bit like laughing. I had to go out there and confront her. There's no way I'm going to be able to put up with this bullshit of hers any longer.

"SO IT WAS YOU WHO DID THIS TO AGNETHA! I KNEW IT! IT JUST HAD TO BE YOU!" I exclaimed.
"AND HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS ME?!"
"BECAUSE I'M NOT STUPID, LENA! SO HOW DID YOU DO IT?! HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO POISON HER?!"
"NO, BJORN! NOT NOW!"
"OH YES, WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" I said angrily, as I grabbed Lena's right arm with full force and dragged her into Agnetha's room.
"What's going on?" Benny asked.
"I found the culprit in this situation!" I exclaimed.
"Lena! It was you who did this?!" Linda exclaimed.
"No I didn't! Your dad is being delusional!" Lena replied.
"Tell us the truth, Lena! We are all very smart, you know," Frida said.
"And we are smarter than you think," Tilda added.
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! YOU GUYS ALL WIN!" Lena exclaimed as she sighed and sat down on a chair.
"So are you going to tell us why the fuck you poisoned my mother?!" Christian yelled.
"It's a long story but I guess I have no other choice. For the past year or so when Bjorn started working with Benny, Frida, and Agnetha again as ABBA, I felt my whole world disappeared. It's bad enough that I have to see that bitch every Christmas and again whenever the grandkids celebrate their birthdays or even when there's some sort of ABBA or Mamma Mia related event even though she barely shows up at those events anyways. The point is that ever since my beloved and once faithful husband started recording with ABBA again, he has been very distant with me. In fact, he has been very distant with me for a long time. But a woman's instinct is a very good one and I can tell just by his body movements and some of the things he would say in interviews over the past year that he's done in regards to the new songs, the abbatars and Mamma Mia that he loved her again and I wasn't going to lose my husband whatsoever and the only way that I knew for sure that he would stay right by my side was to kill her or at least mentally or physically incapacitate her," Lena said, as everybody stood shocked at what she had just said, "So with the help of Mona and a few other people in our little friend circle, we hired some drug dealers to help us create a medication that I know would harm her in any way, shape, or form. The drug dealers told me that it the side effects of the medications would appear at least 12 hours after taking it. They also helped me find a way to smuggle the drugs through airport security when we left for Dubai and again when we landed here. I was planning to do that after the first few days once everything was settled, so I started off by giving her a shit ton of anxiety and it worked. She got so skinny she looked like a zombie. However, at the exact same time, Bjorn started seeing her behind my back, so right there and then, I decided to execute my plan. So last night, in the dining area, I noticed her sitting all alone sipping some coffee. When she got up and went to the bathroom, I slipped in the medication and I left very quickly. That's what happened."

After Lena finally explained to us what she had done, I felt sick. Really sick. I looked like I was about to throw up. Feeling extremely nauseous, I immediately bolted out of Agnetha's room and ran to the nearest bathroom. Benny and Christian ran after me as everyone else looked on. Once I found a bathroom, I puked all my guts out before everything turned pitch black and I lost consciousness.

"BJORN! BJORN! CAN YOU HEAR ME?! CHRISTIAN, GO GET A DOCTOR ASAP!!!" Benny yelled as Christian rushed to get a doctor. A team of doctors and nurses immediately rushed in and put me on a stretcher and the entire family was left stunned and in more distress than ever before.
