Ahgony watched in pure desperation as Blax took a scalpel and opened Rhage right up to get the bullets out.
Something fucking difficult in a car that was moving at 100 mph.
- We’re going to my clinic. Fuck I can’t see a damn thing.
- But we need…
- No fucking way he’ll survive a drive up those mountains. Get whoever you want down there, but we’re taking him to my place.
- I need directions, my man.
Blax recited them to Darius as Ahgony tried to keep the flashlight of his phone aimed at wherever Blax was working.
- There are 2 through-and-throughs, and he’s still got three bullets inside him. He’ll need to feed.
- D, call my dad to get there with a chosen.
- Make that two. Or three.
The look Blax gave him chilled him to the bone.
- Rhage, hold on man. For Mary. For Mariah. Just fucking hold on. D, drive faster!
The 10 minutes it took for them to reach Blaxton’s clinic, were torture.
Rhage was barely breathing; there was so much blood it was like a damn Saw movie. Blax kept cursing, which couldn’t be a good thing.
When they finally arrived at the clinic, Jane was there with V, Payne and Ehlena, while Phury was there with several Chosen.
Blax’s staff already had a gurney out to put Rhage on.
- What the fuck happened?
Vishous and Phury barked out the question at the same time.
- And where the hell is the cop?
- On site. Tohr is with him. Is Manny coming?
- Yeah, on his way now with Mary and Mariah.
- Shit.
- Yeah.
Rhage was hauled onto the gurney and raced inside. Blax, Jane and V ran right behind it.
- So Mary and Mariah know?
- Yeah, Mary felt it happening man.
- Shit. Can Payne heal him?
- Not unless the bullets are out. And even then, he needs to be a bit stronger ‘cause of the energy she releases. If he’s too weak it might cause a counter effect.
Payne looked seriously pissed off at this, but she sat her ass down right there in the hall. They all followed suit, even the Chosen, who didn’t really look like Chosen at all in their jeans and shirts.
He rubbed his face, he needed to talk to Mariah even if she was already on her way.
D sat down next to him.
- Call your girl man; I’m calling my dad to update him.
He closed his eyes and put the phone to his ear.
- Ahgs.
- Hi tahlly.
- It’s bad isn’t it?
- Yeah. It is.

Mariah grabbed her mahmen’s hands as she cried like she had never cried before. Manny had received a call and they were now in the car speeding towards Blaxton’s clinic. Mary hadn’t stopped crying and saying awful things.
