being coherent, she was able to speak up for herself and let the doctor know that she wasn't getting rid of her baby.
"What's the number?" the nurse asked Jazz. Jazz gave the nurse Mrs. Brown number. Before handing her the phone, she said, "Your doctor will be here to see you later tonight. He will let you know when you can change positions.” With that said, she walked out to give Jazz some privacy.

Mrs. Brown looked out of her window at Calvin leaving Jazz’s house. He had two portable file cabinets that he loaded in the back of his truck. What the devil does he has going on? she thought. Upon hearing her phone ring, she moved away from the window to answer it.
"Mrs. Brown speaking ." She looked at the clock, it was noon.
"Hi , it's me, Jazz.” Her voice was shaky. “Please, come get me. I want to go home. I want Ken.”
"Oh , baby." Mrs. Brown covered her mouth. She had to sit down. She was happy, but at the same time in shock. She didn't think she would here from her anytime soon. "We've been so worried about you. Where are you and how have you been?"
"I'm paralyzed, but its temporary. I need Ken. ” She began to cry.
"Baby , he is in jail. They are working to get him out. He is going to be so happy to know that you're alright." She wiped a tear from her eye. “What hospital are you at? I am coming for you."
"I don't know." She put the phone down . “Nurse, nurse!" she screamed. "What hospital am I at?"
" What are you doing on this phone?" It was a different nurse that walked in. She took the phone from Jazz and hung it up. "You are not to have contact with anyone on the outside. People are out to kill you." She then grabbed the remote, turned the volume up on Jazz’s T.V., and walked out, closing the door behind her. The nurse rushed down the hall and into the restroom. She dialed Calvin. "Jane Doe is alert and she was on the phone. She wanted to know what hospital was she at."
"How did she get a phone?"
"The other nurse gave it her."
"Call your mom and let her know w hat happened." The nurse and her mother was one of Calvin’s boys daughter and wife.
"Alright , and the bitch that gave her the phone will be fired," she assured him.
"Make that happen ," Calvin told her before hanging up. He then picked up the last box that contained Ken’s paperwork and headed to his truck. He opened the front door to leave. “Whoa!” He jumped back. He didn’t expect to see Mrs. Brown standing there.
"I just got a call from Jazz , where is she?" She put her hands on her hips. She knew he was the only person that had something to do with her being hidden.
"Watch out , old lady." He brushed passed her.
"Why are you hiding her?" she yelled as he walked off the steps.
"Mind your business !" he hollered over his shoulder. He then placed the box in his truck. Mrs. Brown watched as he opened the driver door. He looked at her. "Mind your own, you’ll live long." He chuckled as he pulled off.
Chapter 7-Pam
She couldn't sleep, she wouldn't eat, and she was all out if tears , but that didn't mean she wasn't crying from the inside. She couldn't take it any longer. She had to find a way to get out of there. She was her mother for Christ sake, and her job was to protect her offspring, but all it seemed like she had done was throw her to the wolves.
Forget it, if it means risking my freedom, then so be it. Jazz’s happiness and peace comes first . She sat there thinking about how she was going to handle the situation.
‘ If you blow this case, your ass is going to jail. Pam, you're going down for a very long time. If you do what we agreed on, you'll get off with time served and five years’ probation, if that. I can assure you. Now, Pam, you and I both know that Jazz needs you. Look at everything she's been through since you've been gone.’
She thought about what Detective F told her . Pam took a pull from get cigarette and blew out the smoke. How much fucking longer? She
