on this recorder and get every piece of intel that you can on where they would take Lily. I'm going to ride with her to the hospital. Once I see her safe, I'll ride out to find my kid. Fly, I know that we just met, but I could use back up. Keeley trusts you, maybe you could be there with her in case she." My breath hiccups at the mere thought of me having to say in case she dies.

"I'm here. She's family. Whatever needs doing." He nods.

"Check here after they leave for anything that you can find to help us. Then drive down to the hospital." I dish out orders like I'm their leader. Though I feel nothing like one. I shouldn't have come back. I shouldn't have brought my shit back into their lives.

When I rush outside, I can see Roth with the recorder to his ear. He lets his head fall back and mouths the words Motherfucker. I knew for sure that this wasn't just some random hit on my family.

"What is it?" I ask him.

"It's a recording. That bastard, Dr. Strand called his friends before we killed him, that’s why he identified you so whoever was on the other end would know who to come after."

I shake my head and squeeze my eyes shut. Another decision of mine that led to my family being hurt. This had to do with Dr. Strand and what I did to him. His people had come for revenge quicker than we thought they would.

I watch him get into his car and peel off, while Fly rushes back into Keeley's house with the swarm of police that are in there.

I jump up into the back of the ambulance and settle down next to Keeley as the two EMTs poke her with needles and hook her up to machines. The ambulance puts on its wailers and we race to the hospital.

After they do everything possible to get her as stable as they can I move over and sit by her head. Her eyes are closed now, and she barely looks like she is breathing.

"Keeley, baby. I'm so sorry. Please don't leave me. Just fight princess."

Her eyes don't open, but one tear trails down her face. I wipe it up with my thumb and move her hair away from her face. Her eyebrow is split open and there is dried blood on her face. "You're my everything. You and Lily are everything to me. I fucking love you more than anything. Keeley, just stay with me." When I lean back and see that her eyes still have not opened I can't help but break down again.

I lean back and try to compose myself. I don't have time to lose it. Even though all I want is to crawl up next to my woman in this small bed and hold her tight. I need to go find my daughter. My children mean everything. Children. Fuck.

"What about the baby?" I ask one of the medics.

"The baby is still with us, but it's in distress. They will probably need to do a c-section. You know how many months she is?"

"Little more than seven."

"Ok there is a good chance that it will make it." The man tries to comfort me, but I can hear the words that he didn't say. There is a chance that it might not. I lean down to Keeley's belly just to be close to the child that may or may not be mine. Something hard rolls up against her skin the second I lay my head down and it's the only thing in the past hour that I would consider a blessing of some sort. "There you are MC, help momma ok. Help her stay with us." I speak to her belly knowing that so much can go wrong and quickly when it comes to having a baby.

The ambulance screeches to a stop and the medics rush to get Keeley out of the back of the van. I follow behind them as they talk a million miles a minute to the doctor and nurses that are now taking over her care. Everything appears to move so fast and if any of them are asking me anything I can't tell. I just stare at Keeley trying to force myself to remember every part of her just in case this is the last time that I see her alive. Suddenly a hand pops up to my chest stopping my motion.

"You can't come in here. Just wait out here and someone will come see you as soon as possible." A nurse says.

"I have to go in there with her." I try to push my way forward.

"You want us to save her? You have to let us work. I know it's hard, but you need to wait." She says and points to the waiting area.

I nod my head knowing she' s right. There is nothing that I can do in there, besides get in the way. I walk into the waiting area and drop myself down into one of the hard chairs. I pull out my phone and already see more than a dozen messages. Most from a group text chain that they must have created between Roth, Brendan, and Fly. Roth telling me what he found out about the people that Dr. Strand was known to do business with. Brendan says he is going to try to get in contact with some of his friends to call in some favors. Fly sends over photos to me from his home security system. I'm sure that Keeley had one too, but I can't access it right now. With every text I note the information, but my brain can’t function past what I’m going to do to the bastards that hurt my family. Besides Roth there are three calls from Clean and one from Archer. Roth must have told them what was going on.

There were voicemails from them, but I didn't have the mental capacity to
