�Police business, ma�am,� Nickolas said flashing his badge.
�Alright then,� the nurse said. �It�ll be amazing if you get anything out of him. He hasn�t told us anything; not even his name.�
Jenai got closer to the bed then stopped saying, �It�s him; it�s Vin Davis.�
�Yeah,� Nickolas said. �Do you know what happened?�
�Gunshot,� the nurse replied. �In and out. The doctors don�t think he�ll make it. Personally I�m surprised he lasted this long.�
�We need a moment alone with him if you don�t mind,� Nickolas said.
�Of course not,� the nurse said. �Good luck.� Nickolas watched her walk out and then looked at Jenai, as she got closer to Vin.
�JJ,� Nickolas said.
�I want to watch him die,� Jenai said, �Just like he watched Brianna and Alexis.�
�You don�t have to do this,� Nickolas said.
�Yes I do,� Jenai said. Nickolas stood beside her and they both looked at Vin. A few minutes passed and Jenai gasped, as Vin grabbed her arm. They both looked and saw Vin looking at them.
�Come to watch me die,� Vin said faintly and grinned. �Not that I�m surprised.�
�Why don�t you clear your conscience some and tell us who�s behind this,� Nickolas suggested.
�I could,� Vin said.
�So do it,� Nickolas said and Vin shook his head.
�Why not?� Jenai asked. �It�s not like they�ll kill you for squealing, because you�ll already be dead.�
�That doesn�t matter,� Vin said.
�Damn it, Davis,� Jenai said. �Just give us something if not a name.� They just looked at him and his grip got tighter on Jenai�s arm, as the monitors started beeping. �Ow!� She pulled his hand off her.
A name, Davis,� Nickolas said, as the nurses rushed in.
�You�re going to have to leave,� the nurse said.
�Not until I get what I came for,� Jenai said grabbing a syringe and putting it in Vin�s chest, but didn�t inject him.
�What the hell are you doing?� the nurse asked. �That much will kill him.�
�He�s already dead,� Jenai said.
�JJ, c�mon,� Nickolas said.
�Get security,� the nurse said and Jenai grabbed Nickolas� gun and pointed it at the nurses.
�Don�t even think about it,� Jenai warned. �I swear I�ll fill him full of this shit and I ain�t afraid to. Now back away from that door.�
�Do as she says,� Nickolas said. �I promise she won�t hurt you.�
�Unless you make me,� Jenai promised. �I�m not leaving until I get what I came for.� She looked at Vin and with one hand on the syringe and the other pointing the gun at his head, she said, �I want a name.�
�If you�re going to kill me, Jenai,� Vin began, �then you really shouldn�t be looking me in the eyes. It�ll haunt you for the rest of your life.�
�Well it won�t be for long if you don�t give me a name,� Jenai said, as the door opened and she quickly pointed the gun at the intruders.
�What�s taking so long?� Jakob asked and he saw the gun pointed at him and Dannika.
�Oh,� Dannika said.
�Just stay there,� Nickolas said, as Jenai slowly put the gun back on Vin.
�A name, Davis,� Jenai said.
�Your brother,� Vin replied.
�I have two ways to kill you right now,� Jenai reminded him. �And I ain�t afraid to do it either. I want a fucking name.�
�Your brother,� Vin repeated.
�Don�t give me that shit,� Jenai rebutted. �I want a name.�
�I�m not saying anymore,� Vin said. �You�re going to have to kill me.� The gun shook in Jenai�s hand and so did the syringe. Vin smiled and just looked at her. �You�re not a killer, Jenai, or else you would�ve done it already. You can�t kill me and avenge your sister�s death. You�ll just be as bad as me if you do.�
�JJ,� Nickolas said. �This isn�t the way.�
�You�re right,� Jenai said slowly pulling the syringe out of his chest. �I�d rather watch you burn.� She yanked the syringe out of him and he jerked his body. �But on second thought I think a nine millimeter bullet to the head at point blank will do it. I�d be satisfied with it.�
�So do it,� Vin said. �No one�s stopping you.� He pressed his head harder against the gun and grinned. �Do it.� She just looked at him. �Do it!�
�I�m just pausing,� Jenai said. �I want to hear you beg for it. Maybe even beg for your life like you made me. Which do you want? Life or death?� He just looked at her and she pulled the trigger, but all they heard was a click and Jenai chuckled, as Jakob and Nickolas looked at each other. Jenai pulled the gun away and looked at it. �Aren�t you a lucky bastard, Davis. The damn thing ain�t even loaded. I think I was just saved from damnation.� She chuckled disgustedly and sighed. �You�re not worth it ya piece of shit. I�ll just leave the doctors kill you that way my hands are clean.� She handed Nickolas his gun and they watched her walk out.
Nickolas put the safety on and said, �I am so sorry about this,� He put his gun away and ran out after Jenai and Jakob and Dannika followed. �JJ!� They followed her outside and to the parking lot. �JJ!�
�Just go away,� Jenai said.
�Not until we discuss what just happened in there,� Jakob said. �Besides, the car�s on the other side of the parking lot.� She stopped walking and they caught up with her. �Brianna would be disappointed in you.�
�She�s dead, Jakob,� Jenai reminded him. �So it doesn�t matter what she thinks.� They just looked at her, as the tears went down her face. �I�ve waited and prayed for the day when I got the chance to kill the bastard that hurt us and I finally got it, but I couldn�t do it. I don�t know why though.�
�Because you�re a good honest decent caring person,� Jakob aid. �You�re not as cold-hearted as Vin Davis is, Sweetie.� He hugged her. �You got so much going for you and you know it�ll be stupid for you to ruin that.�
�But does it make me a bad person for wanting him dead?� Jenai asked.
�Of course not,� Nickolas said. �He hurt you and ruined your life.�
�I want to be there when he takes his last breath,� Jenai said.
�So do I,� Jakob agreed.
�Why don�t we go back to the cabin,� Dannika suggested. �We all can relax and I�ll make us lunch.�
�I can�t eat,� Jenai said. �I just want to watch that bastard die.� She left Jakob go and started walking back to the hospital and they looked at her.
�How are we supposed to help her?� Dannika wanted to know.
�We can�t,� Jakob said. �I�ve been trying the past ten years.�
�Well I want to help,� Dannika stated and Jakob shook his head, as he started towards the hospital and Dannika and Nickolas followed him.
�Maybe watching Vin will help her some in getting her life back on track,� Jakob said. �I can�t help her any so maybe this will.�
�Do you think so?� Nickolas asked.
�I hope so,� Jakob said. �She refuses counseling or any kind of help for that matter. She does have a diary she writes her feelings in, but I don�t think it helps any.� He sighed. �I just wish there was something I could do for her, ya know.�
�So do I,� Nickolas said getting out his gun and taking out the clip. He looked at it and stopped walking before he went back into the hospital. �Uh, guys.�
�What is it?� Jakob asked, as they looked at him.
�This is a full clip,� Nickolas replied showing them.
�Yeah, so,� Dannika asked.
�I had to put the safety back on when JJ gave it back to me,� Nickolas pointed out and they all looked at each other a few moments.
�Maybe it was a dud,� Jakob finally said breaking the silence.
�Or a higher power at work,� Dannika stated. �Stopping Jenai from making a huge mistake.�
�I�ll go with the dud,� Jakob said.
�So will I,� Nickolas agreed putting his gun away and they walked inside.
�Nonbelievers I take it,� Dannika said and Nickolas and Jakob both grinned. They went straight to ER 5 and a nurse walked out.
�How�s Mr. Davis?� Nickolas asked.
�Not too good I�m afraid,� the nurse said. �I don�t expect him to make it through the night.�
�Is he conscience?� Jakob asked.
�No,� the nurse replied. �But your friend�s in there.�
�Thank you,� Nickolas said, as they went inside and saw Jenai sitting by the wall and looking at Vin. �JJ.�
�I�m not leaving until I know for a fact that he�s dead,� Jenai said. �You can stay if you want. I don�t think he�ll mind an audience.�
�Are you sure you want to do this?� Jakob asked and she nodded. �Then I�ll stay with you.�
�So will I,� Dannika said.
�Ditto,� Nickolas said. Jenai just gave a slight nod and kept her eyes on the heart monitor. Nickolas looked at her wishing there was something he could do for her. There wasn�t anything he could do though except being there for her; just like he was now.
�You�re not allowed in here,� the doctor said and they all looked. �I�m going to have to ask you to leave.�
�I�m not leaving until I know he�s dead,� Jenai said and the doctor looked at her. �Until that machine flat lines and you declare him dead I�m staying right here.�
�I can�t let you stay here unless you�re family,� the doctor stated.
�Well he killed my sister and her best friend and raped me,� Jenai stated. �So I�m not leaving until he�s dead. You�ll have to call security to get me out of here.�
�What�s his condition?� Jakob asked.
�Critical,� the doctor replied. �He�s getting weaker every minute. Nothing we do is helping.�
�He doesn�t need help,� Jenai said. �He�s a murderer. Do you think his victims had help? Of course not. So why does he need help?�
�He�s still my patient,� the doctor stated. �I have to do what I can.�
�Just leave him die,� Jenai said.
�You need to leave,� the doctor replied.
�Could I speak to you a moment?� Jakob asked.
�Of course,� the doctor said and they walked out.
�I don�t care what that doctor says,� Jenai began, �I�m not leaving. I need to do this. I have to do this.�
�We understand,� Dannika said.
�He watched Brianna and Alexis die so I�m going to watch him die,� Jenai stated, as the machines started to beep.
�Maybe you don�t have to wait that long,� Dannika replied, as the doctor ran back in.
�He flat lined,� the nurse said.
�Get the crash cart,� the doctor ordered.
�Let him die,� Jenai said. �Just let him die.�
�Clear!� the doctor said sending an electromagnetic shock to Vin�s heart and looking at the heart monitor. �Let�s try 300.�
�Let�s leave him die,� Jenai said, as she watched the doctor try to save Vin. She watched for the next ten minutes, but the doctor couldn�t get the monitor to stop beeping and get a steady rhythm. She sighed and said, �He�s dead, Doc, give it up.� The doctor looked at her a second then tried again for another five minutes.
�Dr. Sumner,� the nurse said and he looked at her.
�Call it,� the doctor said.
�12:13 p.m.,� the nurse replied.
�Finally,� Jenai said getting off the stool, as the nurse covered Vin. �The bastard�s finally dead.� They all looked at her. �Let�s get out of here.� She walked out and the others followed.
