AJ seeing Monica tied to the car and Eric with a gun pointed at Monica started to freak out .AJ whispered "Howie man, I am going to try and sneak around to Monica Kevin, you cause a noise to draw that guy away. Howie and Brian you get Angelica to a safe place than call 911." Howie nodded in agreement when AJ told him what the plan was "Angelica hon, I’m right here so is Brian. Don’t make a sound." Howie said as he and Brian attempted to lift her off the ground.Kevin started kicking the trash cans and banging the lids. Then he looked at AJ and said "Get Monica I got this.” then Kevin starts kicking the trash cans more causing loud bangs. Eric turned toward him following the noise around the corner. Kevin runs while making more noise. Eric walked over and followed the noise. He sees Kevin.“Freeze fucker!” he says pointing his gun. “No, you freeze!” an officer said with his gun to Eric’s head. “Drop the gun son, and slowly back away from the weapon.”Howie quickly called the ambulance. AJ ran over to the car and untied Monica."Monica, Are you okay?" he asked as he untied her hands. Eric walked up in front of the police handcuffed. He shot an evil glare to Monica and AJ. Howie looked at Nick who was helping put pressure on Angelica’s wound and said "Thanks man.” They shared a smile, they  were okay. AJ came to check on Angelica with Monica. “How is she?” Brian asked coming up with Leighanne, and Kristin. Kathy had Baylee and Kevin was answering questions for the police."We are losing her, her pulse is so weak." Howie said then added "I called the ambulance they should be here any minute.”
It was 4am and Angelica was still in surgery. Police had been in and out of the waiting room asking Monica and they guys questions. Leighanne and Kristin had taken Baylee and Kathy back to the hotel to get some sleep. The guys’ themselves energy was wearing low. Howie was looking deep into his Styrofoam cup of coffee as if seeking answers to why this all had happened. Kevin was pacing the floor, while Nick and AJ were asleep. AJ had his arm around a once crying Monica who was know asleep as well. Brian stared out into the blackness of the night and was deep in prayer. “Gentlemen?” a doctor dressed head to toe is surgery gear asked as he emerged from the mysterious double doors they had taken Angelica three hours ago.“Yes?” Kevin answered first as Brian and Howie woke the others. “Miss Hues is going to pull through although she is still in serious condition but she lost her baby we had to take it she would have been still born anyway due to the amount of abuse she received.” Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sorrow . “When can we see her? Is she conscious?” Monica asked. “Yes, she is conscious but still groggy from the anesthesia. Only one of you can see her now, the rest of you will have to wait until we set her up in long term recovery in a couple of hours.”“Thank you doctor.” Kevin said. “Monica, you go and see Angelica, we’ll wait here.” Monica shook her head. “No, Howie you go. It’ll mean more, and besides I don’t think I could see her hooked up to machines with tubes and everything.” She said shuddering. “Are you sure?” Howie asked. Monica nodded. Howie took a deep breath and followed the nurse through the double doors to Angelica. 
Howie quietly sat down in the chair next to Angelica’s bed. There was no other sound than the sound of the beeping coming from her heart monitor. He sighed as he looked around his surroundings and saw what all Angelica was hooked up to; it reminded him of his sister Caroline. He felt someone weakly grab his hand. “Howie?” Angelica said weakly. Howie leaned closer to her. “Yeah, it’s me. I’m right here.” He said softly. “Eric--- the baby--““He’s in jail sweetheart he can’t hurt you anymore and I am sorry to tell you but they had to take the baby because it was still born but we are also going to press charges against him for not only attempted murder but we are going to try and press murder charges on him for the baby.” Angelica smiled and sighed at the same time. “Good. I’m sorry.” She said more strongly.“For what?”“For being so mean to AJ, he, you, all of you, saved me and Monica. Thank you.” “Anytime.”Howie walked back into the waiting room where the other guys and Monica were still lounging. “How is she?” Monica asked yawning and sitting up straighter. “She’s a fighter that’s for sure. She thanks us for saving the two of you.”“You sure came through for us that’s for sure.” Monica said. “I have to check my messages I’ll be right back.” She stepped outside for privacy as Brian sat next to Howie. “Man, are you sure you are okay?” he asked concerned. “I am okay. Just seeing her in there, hooked up to all that stuff, made me think about Caroline is all. Made me think about you too, when you went to have your surgery, I’m real sorry I wasn’t here B-Rok.” Brian patted his shoulder. “Its ancient history man, don’t even worry about it.” Howie shook his head.“No, I am really sorry Brian. I can’t believe we betrayed you like that.” Brian smiled. “Hey think of it this way Howie, if you hadn’t, then I wouldn’t have been able to determine that I was going to spend the rest of my life with Leighanne. So in reality it was a blessing in disguise.” Brian gave Howie a hug and Kevin smiled from across the room looking at the clock it was nearly 6am. He called Johnny and Ken to tell them the prior night’s events and to reschedule and interview they had booked for that afternoon. AJ and Nick were outside and cattycorner to Monica, having a cigarette. “So do you really like Monica?” Nick asked snapping AJ out of his trance of staring at Monica.“Huh? Oh yeah, yeah I do man. Which is weird cause you would think I would go for a girl like Kat. But I dunno man there is something about that chick I can’t break from.” Nick blew out the last of his smoke and stamped out his cigarette. “Man in the words of Usher… You got it you got it bad!” Nick sang. AJ stamped out his cigarette and pulled Nick into a headlock. “Yeah, but I’m sure Usher sang from his mouth not his nose ‘ey pipsqueak?” he said letting Nick go and walking back into the hospital. Meanwhile Monica had gotten to her home messages and heard AJ’s message. “Hey Monica, it’s AJ, look I know you want nothing to do with me right now and that’s cool. I just wanted to say that I am sorry and didn’t mean to call you out like that. If you promise not to kill me I’d like to take you out sometime, my number is 555-8641.”Monica smiled and saved the message than returned to the waiting room
