Chapter 132: State of Shock

Chapter 132: State of Shock

After what felt like hours, Sheriff Borden pulled up in front of the Emergency entrance, and I was sure I was out of the car before it came to a full stop, but I didn't care.

I ran inside and scanned the Emergency room, everything one big blur, as I struggled to focus in order to find the information desk.

Thankfully, the problem was solved for me as I saw Officer Shaw walking toward me. I quickly met her halfway.

"Where is she?! Is she okay?!" I asked frantically.

"I haven't seen her since she was rushed back for examination," Officer Shaw replied.

That can't be a good sign...

Before I could question her more, Sheriff Borden appeared next to us, and Officer Shaw answered my second question.

"She never regained consciousness in the ambulance, and her blood pressure began to drop...that's really all I know...she was whisked away as soon as we arrived," Officer Shaw explained.

I ran my fingers through my perfectly styled hair, not caring one bit about how it may look afterward. I needed to know more. I needed to know if Alicia was okay.

"Someone must know something..." I mumbled, and began walking toward the information desk, but I stopped short when I felt someone grab my shoulder.

I looked back to see Sheriff Borden was the person who had stopped me.

"I'm sure a doctor will be out to speak with you as soon as they know anything," Sheriff Borden said reassuringly.

I knew he was right, despite my desperate need to know something, anything, I knew I had to wait.

Roughly 15 minutes later...

I was sitting, rather impatiently, in the waiting room along with Officer Shaw and Sheriff Borden. They had offered several times if there was anyone they could call for me, but other than the guys, there really wasn't much point in calling anyone until I had more information.

I was surprised to suddenly see Aaron walk in to the waiting room, and he walked over to us once he saw us.

"Have you heard anything, bro?" Aaron asked, clearly concerned.

I shook my head.

"Not yet..." I replied, as he took a seat beside me.

"Cheryl called me, frantic...she's listed as Alicia's next of kin..." Aaron said, and I frowned, feeling bad for Cheryl. "I told her I'd come here so I could update her as soon as we knew anything, and for support bro," Aaron added.

I nodded in understanding, and in thanks.

"Thanks Aaron..." I replied softly, and he nodded in return and patted my shoulder briefly.

"Mr. Bagans?" Sheriff Borden suddenly asked from my other side.

I turned to look at him.

"Would it be alright with you, now that your friend is here, if Officer Shaw and I return to the crime scene?" Sheriff Borden asked.

I nodded.

"Yeah, sure, of course," I replied, understanding that they still had a job to do. "Thank you for driving me here," I added, realizing I hadn't thanked him earlier.

He nodded as he and Officer Shaw stood up.

"Of course," Sheriff Borden said.

"We'll keep her in our thoughts," Officer Shaw said, and I smiled weakly.
