"Oh my God! What could have happened?!" Marissa cried sitting in the waiting room chair at the hospital.
"Who knows?! They won't tell anyone that is not family at the moment," Julia said.
"I can't believe I let this happen! This has gone too far. Marie has really done it this time," Howie said pacing through the waiting room.
"Geez, Howie sit down your bugging me pacing back and forth back and forth. You like you're ready to kill someone," AJ said leaning against the wall.
"Well, I do feel like killing someone," Howie replied angrily.
Everyone looked at Howie in silence for a moment shocked by what he had just said. Never, had any of them heard Howie say that he wanted to kill somebody before. He didn't even joke about it.
"Howie, I think we shouldn't be so harsh," Brian said trying to calm everyone down. Marissa was sitting next to him tears in her eyes.
"You think I might be harsh? God, Brian the one woman I love almost died today. And I'm not ready to stand here and just let her die," Howie replied.
"Natasha would have said ‘AW' just now," Marissa sniffled remembering how Natasha was always the sucker for that romantic stuff.
Julia sat next to Marissa still crying. "Why did this happen to Natasha? She didn't deserve this. I mean we don't even know what happened! All we know is that she's in critical condition at the moment."
Right as Julia had finished talking a doctor entered the waiting room. "Are there any family members present?" The doctor asked looking around at the group.
"No, they all live in Washington," Kevin said trying to be the calm one.
"Well, it might be awhile before we can tell you her condition. But I can tell you what happened to her. See, she said she noticed something attached to her muffler and after that she couldn't remember anything. We found her laying face first on the ground and unconscious for a moment. But, we were able to revive her. There's not much more I can tell you but I hope that has helped a little," the doctor said with a smile.
"Thank you doctor," Marissa said.
"Oh, wait!" Julia said just as the doctor was about to leave the room. "We know who did this to her."
"Are you sure?" the doctor asked.
"Yes," Marissa spoke up. "It was Marie Taylor. She's had it out for Natasha since the beginning and she told us earlier today that something would happen to her."
