CHAPTER SEVEN

Grant drove up to the doors of the E.R. and dropped off Holden, Kellie and Acacia before going to find a parking spot. Holden and Acacia were on either side of Kellie, each with an arm around her.

She had barely spoken since she passed the phone to him. Though she had stopped crying, Holden was concerned about the fact that she was trembling as the shock set in. They hurried inside where Acacia went to reception to ask about Kellie’s father. She returned quickly.

“He is through those doors over there. I’ll wait here for Grant and meet you in there,” she said. She gazed at Kellie with a worried look on her face.

Holden and Kellie walked hesitantly through the double doors to the treatment area. A slender blond woman with red-rimmed eyes approached. Kellie reached toward her and the women hugged. Holden wondered what news they would receive and prayed Kellie's father would pull through. Seeing Kellie so upset was tugging at his heart-strings and he wasn't sure what to do to help the situation.

“He’s in surgery now,” the woman stammered.

“How did this happen? Is he going to be okay?” Kellie asked as the women stood back from one another. Kellie's eyes filled with tears again and Holden put his arm around her.

The woman fidgeted with her hands as she spoke. “The arrest they were making didn’t go as planned. He was shot in the lower half of his body. That's all I could get out of anyone here. That and that we won't know anything for sure until he is out of surgery."

Kellie folded her arms across her chest and shoved her chin out. "Why wasn't I called? I'm his family...his next of kin. I should have been called first." She sniffled and hugged herself.

Felicia frowned. She looked away and then back at Kellie.

"The other detectives know Terry and I are seeing each other. They thought it would better for you to hear the news from me. I got your number from your dad’s phone. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make things worse. I called you right away." She said softly.

Kellie dropped her hands at her sides. Her fists were tight. "But you didn't call me right away did you? You showed up here first and then called me. He's my father...you've only known him for a couple of months...they had no business calling you first. So help me, if anything happens to him..." she yelled at the woman. Holden put his hands on her shoulders and pulled her to one side carefully.

"You're here now...Come and take a seat." Holden whispered in her ear.

Kellie pulled away, glaring at him. She pointed at Felicia.

"This woman just showed up in my kitchen one day and now she thinks she's family...Holden this isn't right...I should have been here when he arrived...He's my dad." she cried. Holden pulled her to him and hugged her tight. Kellie sobbed into his chest as he rubbed the back of her head softly. He looked past Kellie at the blond woman.
