Malike had sped off as soon as he got Jay and Nia in the car. He carried Jay to a room in the hospital and dragged a doctor behind him.
Malike: Help him now!
Terrified Doctor: Yyy...ees sss..sir…
Malike: Save me with the stutter. Help him! Now!
Terrified Doctor: Nurse. Nurse! I need help in here, immediately!
Nurse: Yes sir.
Jay: M...Mal...Malike. (He said in faint short breaths.) Bring…. my sisters… to me....ppp….please.
Malike ran out of the room back to the car and picked up Nia. He put her in a wheelchair grabbed one of his old shirts, and a pair of shoes; that she left in his car on their first anniversary; gave them to her and wheeled her to her brothers room. A few concerned nurses turned their attention to Nia. She glared at them to help her brother first. Scared to death, the nurses returned to their job. Nia changed in the bathroom with Malike's help, and waited for the doctors to finish. After two hours of operations and CPR, she was finally able to talk to her brother. The little girl from before was aloud in the room. Her name was Destiny; Destiny Kendrick. She was their sister that had been taken from them when they were little. They all hugged for a long time while Malike sat in the waiting room. He cried and kept crying. It killed him inside that he couldn’t protect his everything. He loved her and if he couldn’t protect her, how was he going to protect his new daughter.
