turn into a mom before I have kids. You got shot; you’re going to the hospital.”
    “I hate that place.”
    “Don’t worry; I’ll bribe all of the doctors.” Rosie smiled knowing that Hope didn’t have the energy to fight this. She was going to the hospital to get checked out whether the woman wanted it or not.
    The police arrived first, eager to secure the scene and assess the damage. The flashing lights on the tops of their cars were blue and red, casting purple shadows and strobes in through where the glass should have been. It covered their faces, making everything glow eerily in the constantly changing light.
    The men poured in after determining that everything was secure. They started to snoop around, checking on everyone in the process. Other than some scrapes from moving the broken glass away from Hope everyone was uninjured. Hope had a grazing wound in her arm. They called for paramedics, but they were already on their way. Kevin had already made the call when he assessed how badly Hope was injured.
    They started to ask questions and the answers were a blur of vague impressions and hazy memories that were based  on adrenaline-fueled  actions and ‘I don’t know’. Nobody was very happy about it, but no matter what happened to the office, Rosie was the least happy of all.
    The EMTs  arrived and started to look at Hope’s injuries. It was hard to determine at first, and they helped brush the debris off her body, careful not to move her too much. They didn’t know if she had sustained a back injury from the rushed dive to stay out of the way of the flying bullets.
    The fairy-blooded secretary wasn’t allowed to move as they strapped her on to a back board and carried her out to the ambulance. A cop stopped Rosie on the way out of the office. “You can’t go yet ma’am. We still need to get a statement.”
    “I can’t let Hope go to the hospital alone.”
    “Are you family?” The officer was certain that the two weren’t related, they looked nothing alike.
    “Not by blood, but she’s the closest thing to family that I have.” Rosie tried to remain calm, carefully picking her words. She knew that if she made this man mad it would be impossible to get out of the building before they were completely sure that she wasn’t involved in this incident.
    “Ma’am, I can’t let you go yet.”
    Rosie was close to tears. Kevin motioned for the cop to listen to him, pulling him out of earshot and explaining very carefully that the man should let her go. “Her entire family was murdered. That woman is the only person she has in the world.”
    “So are they married or just dating?” The cop seemed to be understanding, but he was mistaken.
    “More like sisters by choice rather than blood. Let her go. She won’t be much use to you here.”
    The officer walked up to the young woman. “You can go, I didn’t know.”
    “Didn’t know what?”
    “About your family.”
    “How did you find out about that?”
    “Agent Leonard told me.” The cop explained.
    As Rosie climbed into the ambulance next to her friend, she couldn’t help but ask herself. “How did he know about my family?” She asked herself whether or not she had been specific when she talked about the vision she had been trapped in. It seemed like it was an eternity ago, but in reality, it wasn’t that long, two weeks at most since she had been pulled into this case.
     

Chapter4
    Hope was tucked away  in the hospital, recovering safely. I had to go back to the office and clean up as much of the mess as I could. I walked into the room, uselessly unlocking the door when I could have just stepped through a broken window, and saw the mess for the first time in the light of a new day. It was horrifying and didn’t seem like we could ever clean it. I couldn’t help but  sigh as I carefully stepped around the largest chunks of glass that littered the floor. The  splinters and slivers were something that I couldn’t avoid. They crunched
