Chapter 0241

“The doctors aren’t sure, Bud. We’ll just have to wait and pray.” I decide to go with

honesty.

If lied and, God forbid, Ava never wakes up, he would end up hating me for lying that his

mom was okay.

He doesn’t say anything. Just looks at me before looking at the floor.

After a few minutes of silence, I turn and face the rest.

“Since we won’t be able to see her today, I think you should all go home, get some rest,

and come back

tomorrow.”

“No,” both Corrine and Letty refuse at the same time, followed by Nora and Theo.

I try to convince them that I’ll let them know if something comes up, but they refuse to

budge. In the end, everyone decides to stay except for Emma, Cal, Kate, and my parents.

My parents agree to go home only after I tell them that Noah can’t stay in the hospital and

that he needs someone with him. Cal agrees for the sake of Gunner. The boy was already

yawning even though you

could see the worry in his face.

Gabe sits by my side after they leave. There is little talking. Mostly we just sit in silence,

arrives.

“I’m sorry I got here late. We had to interview the witnesses about Ava’s shooting. I’m

really sorry for what happened to her.”

I nod my head.

“Have you found anything?”

“The witnesses couldn’t give us anything beyond what we already know and have seen on

the video”

Shit. I was hoping they would have something. A starting point.

“Is she in any state to be questioned?”

My face shuts down, and my voice hardens. I know it’s not his fault since he doesn’t know

the details, but

it just pisses me off.

“She’s in a coma,” I grit out.

“I’m sorry,” he says remorsefully, but it doesn’t do anything to elevate what I feel inside.

Is there any information you can give me? Has anyone been threatening her? Following

her? Any

I shake my head. “None. I have nothing.”

He just nods before turning to the rest.

“I don’t know if I’m imagining it, but when she called me, she sounded stressed and

desperate. It may not be anything, but she just didn’t sound like herself. I thought that

maybe she was struggling with her past traumas given that the news about Gunner

triggered her.”

“Who is Gunner?”

“Emma’s son. She kept him hidden until Ava found out the truth and revealed it to us,”

Travis answers,

still clearly angry at his sister’s betrayal.

Emma looks at the floor, hiding her emotions.

“Why would she keep him hidden?”

“She didn’t want him in her life, and she didn’t want us to know about him. Calvin, who is

the dad, and Gunner moved next door to Ava. That’s how she was able to connect the

pieces.”

Brian was now fully facing Travis. “And how did that go down?”

“Not w

well. We are all pissed at her and since she still insists on this stupidity, mom gave her an

ultimatum:

mend the fences or we cut her off from our lives.”

“I’m sure Emma didn’t take that well.” Brian questions further.

“Not at all. She was and still is pissed, especially at Ava for revealing the truth.”

Brain rubs his chin as his mind works. You can clearly see the wheels turning in his head.

I’ve known Brian

for a long time. Something was going on inside his head,

“I a while.

“See what, exactly?” Gabe and I ask him at the same time.

“According to what Travis has told me, I may have my first suspect.”

“What?” Travis asks, just as Corrine whispers,

“Who?”

He gives a firm and thin smile. “Emma”

The rest look at him like he has grown another head or something. I just stare at him

contemplating. If

The only question is: is her anger, hatred, and bitterness towards Ava enough to want her

dead and to actually plan a hit on her?
