52 CHAPTER 52: BONES!

"Caleb, Caleb! Please wake up! Caleb!" Lisa's tears are clouding her vision as she embraces the unconscious Caleb on her arms.

"Please open your eyes! Don't just leave like this!" she continues to sob. She's covering Caleb's wounds but blood keeps on flowing.

"Please someone help! Please someone call an ambulance!" Lisa scream on top of her voice. Some passerby stops on their tracks as they look at them.

After a while, an ambulance came over.

*** At the Williams residence, two people were standing next to each other under a starry night.

"What is it that you want to tell me?" Ethan asks Aisha.

"Ethan, I don't know if you can ever forgive me but it was never my intention to do such a thing. I-I, I am not---------" Aisha got interrupted when her phone rings. She smiles at him. then her phone rings again.

"Answer it first, it looks like it's important." Ethan says in understanding. Aisha nods then she answers her phone without looking at the caller's identity.

"Hello?" she answers. She can hear sobbing on the other line. It's Lisa! Why is she crying?

"Lisa, try to calm down first and tell me what's happening?" Aisha is a little bit worried.

"A-Aisha, I-It's Caleb, ldksfbdgfdbfsdjj…" Aisha heard Caleb's name but she didn't understand her next words.

"Lisa! Speak slowly and clearly please. Tell me what happened to Caleb." The next thing Aisha did was to grasp a breath as her eyes widened.

"Is everything alright?" Ethan went near her as he touches her shoulder. She faces him.

"E-Ethan, It's Caleb, he is in the hospital!" she embraces him.

After twenty-five minutes, Ethan and Aisha arrives at the hospital where Caleb is. They saw Lisa outside the operating room, crying all by herself while leaning on the wall, curling to her feet. She looks desolate so Aisha run near her and embraces her tightly.

"Calm down Lisa, please." Aisha embraces her tightly as Lisa continued to cry on her shoulder while Ethan stood beside them, watching them with worry.

Earlier, Aisha fret when she heard that Caleb was rushed at the OR because he was shot. Aisha didn't know the whole story since Lisa was also distressed when she called. Ethan can't let her drive alone with her mental state as of the moment so he accompanied her to the hospital. after a while, Lisa cools down. Aisha holds her up and leads her to an empty seat.

"Lisa, can you tell us what happened?" Aisha asks her.

"W-we, we were driving halfway to my apartment when suddenly-----'' Lisa breaks down as she remembers their traumatic experience.

"A gray SUV van had overtaken us. We thought they were just drunk so we didn't mind them, but they stopped in front of us. Some armed men got out as they approach us but Caleb was swift to shoot at them first. He tried to drive back to where most people are but they followed us. Caleb got out of the car, then I heard gunshots everywhere. The last thing I saw was that Caleb was already lying on the ground!" Lisa tried to relay the story to them. Aisha held her breath. Once again, her fear rocketed. Not for herself but for the two of them. She grasps Lisa's arms.

"Lisa, did they see you?" Aisha's tone is deep.

"I-I think so." Lisa answered. Aisha's lips trembled a bit but she tried to hide it.

"Did you see their faces?" Ethan suddenly asks.

"I-I'm not sure. I was so afraid to look at them that time." Lisa answered.

Ethan was in deep thought when someone got out from the OR, running speedily. Aisha stood and held her arms.

"Excuse me, I just want to know how's the patient with a gunshot wounds?" She asked the male nurse.

"I'm sorry I'm in a hurry. We need to secure blood for him." The nurse answered then he left.

"Blood?" she creased her forehead. Caleb's blood type is AB+, hope they have stocks for that kind of blood type. She started to worry as she unconsciously walks back and forth.

"Hey, calm down! everything will be alright." Ethan holds Aisha's arms as he embraces her. at least, Aisha feels secure in Ethan's arms. after a while the nurse came back as he strides quickly inside. Then after a minute the doctor came out.

"Are you the patient's relatives?" the She doctor asks.

"Yes Doctor, how is he?" Aisha answers.

"Hi, I'm Doctor Brown. You need to know that he is not in good condition since he lost a lot of blood. unfortunately, we do not have any stock for his blood type as of the moment. Do you know someone with type AB+?" he asks.

"his father, but I don't know if he is in the City." Aisha is already baffled because she knew that Caleb's father is in the North State. They are not compatible either since she is type B. guess she doesn't have a choice but to call Caleb's dad. She is about to dial General Archedeus number when she heard Ethan interrupted.

"I am type AB+." Ethan volunteered. Aisha look at him in surprise.

"Don't worry, I got this." Ethan said thenhe kissed her forehead.

"Please follow us mister." The doctor requests. Ethan follows.

"Thank you," Aisha mumbles before Ethan totally entered the operating room.

Aisha and Lisa sat silently as they waited for the result of the operation.

"Who are those men? Are they bounty hunters? No! It's impossible!" Aisha was trying to be optimistic.

"Aisha, I forgot to tell you. Before Caleb totally lost his consciousness, he kept mentioning a word, I think it's "BONES"? -----'' When Aisha heard the word bones, she shudders unexpectedly.

"I didn't know what he means but he kept repeating that word." Lisa continued.

"No! how is that possible? Are they trying to mess with the people close to me to lure me out?" Aisha pondered in silence.
