13 The Plot, The twist, and a Sick son of a bitch.

"Well Jessica, I'm Grace, can you tell me what happened?" Jessica just shook her head violently and muttered something too low for anyone to hear. The woman, both aknowlageding and understanding the little girls fear, just nodded and changed the question. "Are you hurt anywhere?" This time she looked at Violet. Violet nodded at her and Jessica took a deep breath and pointed at her arm.

The lady checked her arm. Showing off many nasty angry bruises and cuts. The Female EMT made notes on a clip board. "Anywhere else?" she asked, being very patient with the little girl. Jessica pointed to her head, the lady checked her head, to discover a large deep gash above her ear. Making notes, and grabbing some gauze, she asked me to hold it to the wound. Sam, who was hovering close by, cursed. Jessica jumped at the loud noise made by her brother, causing him to earn wary looks from the others in the room. Immediately everyone there was on guard. Violet watched as he began pacing at this point from anger. Marcus and Harmony were trying to calm him down since he was not helping the situation.

Shaking her head, the EMT went back to asking Jessica to show her the next injury. The woman was calm and patient with Jessica slowly earning her trust and taking the severity and fear out of the situation. Grace even pulled out colorful Band-Aids and wraps as she was treating the wounds to help keep the child's mind off the pain that her body was going through. Jessica was starting to become more reactive to the woman and answering her quicker. Now she wasn't hesitating to show her injuries, because as soon as she did she had a new colored wound treatment. Violet smiled as she saw the fear melt away from the little girl. She even giggled, causing Samuel to walk over and inspect the situation at hand.

Jessica looked up at her brother beaming and showed him all of her Band-Aids and wrappings. Samuels face softened looking at her. At that moment everyone in the room realized that Samuel wasn't just Jessica's older brother, but her father figure as well. By the way he looked at her and was reacting you could tell that he had raised the little girl. That he was there for every one of her milestones. It flipped almost everyone's perspective of the hot headed young man. Samuel watched as Grace wrapped the bandage around his sister's elbow with careful and steady hands. This earned a nod of approval from Samuel, which caused the woman to sigh in relief.

Then Jessica pointed to her leg. The lady once again made notes on the clip board which at this point covered almost all of the diagram on the paper. "Do you have anywhere else that hurts, sweetie?" the lady asked. Jessica began to fidget and look uncomfortable. "Jessica, you have been doing so good. It's ok you can tell me. We have to finish our picture, remember?" Grace said, holding up the clip board with the diagram that she had been writing on. Hesitantly Jessica pointed at her stomach.

"Do you have a stomachache?" Grace asked, ready to write down another note. Jessica shook her head, almost making Violet drop the gauze. Then she pointed again, leaving Violet and the woman caring for her confused. Grace lifted up the little girls tattered shirt, to show a few scratches and minor bruising. She then grabbed little thin neon orange band aids and went to place them on the wounds. The moment Grace placed pressure on the child's abdomen the little girl let out a loud pain filled scream and attempted to flail away. The child dug her nails into Violets arms trying to transfer the pain in some way. Her face that was just bright and happy before was now twisted in pain with tears streaking down her cheeks. Violet and Grace looked at each other with a sickening feeling swelling up from their gut. Then the paramedic that tried to assist first said, "Oh my God, no." Confirming their theory and causing the air in the room to turn dark and tense.

Everyone in the room to froze as the gravity and the realization of what had happened to the child sunk in. A chill hung in the air. " I WILL KILL THAT BASTARD!" Samuel bellowed breaking the silence and causing every one to jump. The next thing that anyone saw was Samuel strong arming his way through the massive swarm of people trying to get out of the room and get his hands on whom ever had hurt his little sister.
