Lethal Adults

Chapter 16

One decision, one screw up, one bad choice of action had a dire amount of consequences behind it. One person was able to flip the Carter family upside down, the most affected though, King Carter.

His wife, Naomi, was the unintentional target of a bullet. It struck her in her lower abdomen. When Park lifted the sheet that was covering the underside of the table the sight before him baffled him. Naomi was bleeding out and all of the other adults were trying desperately to put pressure on her wound. Park screeched for backup and telling people to get the agency's hospital on the phone in order for Naomi to get the proper care.

A blur is what King would have called it. He remembered some things that occurred before the shooting but then after it was a blur. Currently, he was in the hospital still in his formal clothing blood all over his hands and clothes waiting for an update on his wife. His family were all seated on the sides of him all in their evening wear with blood on their clothes but not nearly as enough as King had. They were all worried for him, Naomi was his other half, the woman that he fell in love and somehow the love still manages to flourish every day. If she died they feared he would too.

A few minutes later Park came into the waiting room with Vega, Cody and Reese. All dressed in more appealable clothes.

"Why are they here?" King growled.

"We came to check on you we wanted to make sure everything is o-," Vega began.

"YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE! MY WIFE HAS BEEN SHOT BECAUSE OF YOUR SCREW UP. THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS DISAPPEAR AND MAKE SURE I NEVER SEE YOU THREE AGAIN, BECAUSE IF MY WIFE DOESN'T MAKE IT I WON'T JUST COME FOR TDF I WILL COME FOR YOU THREE!!" King yelled as he stood from his seat and walked toward the three cowering people in front of him.

"King, c'mon just sit down," Ricardo stated as he went grab him.

King shook him off, "No I want them gone now." He hissed.

"Look, King, you don't have to blame them you can blame me," Park spoke.

"You're right Park I do blame you. You sent three rookies who still look like they need mommy and daddy to wipe their mouth after dinner. You sent three unprofessional on a mission that required so much more. So I will direct this to you if anything and I do mean anything happens to my wife I will do damage. And we both know what we are capable of." King answered.

"King I know you are upset but think about what you are saying I c-," Park whispered.

"I DON'T CARE AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED SECRET DEPARTMENT OF CRIME IS NO LONGER MY PLACE OF WORK!" He screamed. King was so angry that he started seeing red and he lunged for Park and punched him in the face, and before he could do any more damage Gamble and Ricardo pulled him away and held him in contempt.

"Park just go," Blue scolded. Park sighed and nodded and left in search of a nurse while the rookies followed him.

"I can't lose her, I can't lose her. If I do I don't know what I will do," He cried. Everyone gathered around him and pulled him into a group hug.

"You won't lose her King, Naomi is strong. This won't take her away from you I promise," Gamble comforted.

"King Carter?" A doctor questioned in bloody scrubs.

King jolted from his teacher, "Yes that is me is my wife ok?" He questioned.

"Yes, no major injuries occurred just lots of bleeding that we were able to treat. However, I am specifically worried about the baby." He answered.

"W-What, baby? Naomi isn't pregnant."

"I'm assuming she didn't tell you, well she came in earlier day and tests confirmed that she is with a child. However trauma this earlier is very dangerous we are going to keep her under a medically induced coma until we are one hundred percent sure that the baby is ok. Along with Naomi." The doctor explained.

"Can I see her please?"

"Yes, she is on the sixth floor, third door on the right."

"Thank you, doctor."

"No problem my team and I took great care of Naomi, after all, she is one of our own." The doctor spoke as he walked off.

"We can swing by your place and get you a change of clothes, being in that bloody suit all night isn't right," Gamble spoke up.

"We all will be here in the morning," Blue added as they all gathered their things and left the hospital in order to give King some time of his own. King thanked them all and promised to keep them updated about Naomi's conditions and then he made his way to the sixth floor.

When he found her room he broke down immediately. Seeing his wife hooked up to tubes and a baby monitor hook to her stomach made him bawl like a baby. He pulled a chair up to her side and grabbed her hand.

"A rough night baby, I can't believe this is happening to us. I mean we just got married and had our honeymoon. I didn't expect it to all come to this. I love you too much to see you like this baby, you gotta wake up and we gotta make sure the little person in your body is ok too. I have always wanted us to have kids and I wanted it all to be perfect. I can't believe that I let you do this mission, I should have stopped you because you weren't prepared. I'm so sorry baby, I should have never let you go through this. I promise when you wake up I'll quit I don't want this life anymore if it just going to put you in more danger. I love you way too much for that to happen." King rambled. Eventually, his adrenaline started dying down and fatigue was creeping its way in so he turned off the lights and slept on the pullout couch. He would stay true to his word he wouldn't do another mission or have any more affiliation with his spy agency.
