911 Operator: Sir please stay calm, try performing CPR? .........Sir?......Sir are you still there?

Kindred Chicago Central Hospital

"Victim is female 17 years old. They found identification on her, her name is Aaliyah Smith. She came in with a very low pulse & rapid breathing. Luckily the man who found her was able to keep her awake."

"Cut her clothes off, we have to perform trauma surgery immediately!"

"Dr.Bailey you might wanna take a look at this"

"What's the prob...Jesus...., this injury may cause systemic shock, this will definitely require immediate resuscitation and intervention to save her life & limbs"

10 years earlier...

"Please don't shoot my daddy" I pleaded hoping the 2 cops with their guns pointed would have mercy on my father.

One cop was kneeled down on my father's back, while the other two had their guns drawn.

"My papa didn't do anything, he's such a good person" I cried out watching my father struggled to breathe as he laid out in the middle of the 7-11 gas station.

"I —I—love you —Aaliyah" My father struggled to say through deep breaths.

"STOP RESISTING" The cop yelled before he placed his finger on the trigger.

"Please don't shoot my da-"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

I woke up in cold sweats, hooked up to what it seemed like 50 different machines.

My breathing was rapid & my mouth was dry.

"You okay ma?" The tall brown skin man questioned getting up from the chair next to my hospital bed.

His face looked familiar but I didn't know who he was.

He reached over to the nightstand on the side of my hospital bed causing me to flinch.

"I'm not gone hurt you ma, I was just getting you some water," he said honestly handling me a bottle of cold water.

I didn't respond to him, I gave him a blank stare & attempted to pick up the water bottle but failed. My whole body was weak & in pain.
