Chapter Three

"Kathy screams"

Looking back Julia notices the guys by the car. Running out drawing her gun. The guys attempt to run as Julia puts shots in their legs as they fall to the ground.

Do not move, says Julia I am a former agent.

The guys have their hands up in the air as Julia points the gun at them. Please we were not going to hurt anyone he pleads.

For the first time, Kathy saw a different side of her mother it is as if she was completely someone else.

Her mother had no emotion in her eyes towards those guys laying on the ground she trapped on the bullet wound as they screamed in pain.

Julia realized her daughter is watching her, she then holstered the gun and looked over at the guy she was visiting who is now wearing a brown leather Jacket with long black hair he was as tall as Roebert.

He had something in his back as he walked up to her, Kathy glanced at her mother and saw her mom speaking to this guy, he then put something in her hand as she put it in her Jacket pocket and walked up to the car.

"Honey, sorry about that, but you need to promise mommy something."

Kathy never answered her she was mad at her mom for leaving her alone in the car.

She sat with crossed arms looking out the window. Hey, "Julia then took Kathy's hand and said Mommy promise you nothing won, t ever happens to you."

Kathy remained silent. You cannot tell daddy what happened here today or that mommy was over at this house? Kathy nods her head her Mom hugged her.

Arriving at the hospital. They went through the vaccination at first Kathy was scared but her mother pacifiered her assuring her there is nothing to be afraid of.

She was brave too take the injection, at first it stung then after a while it no longer stung.

"You were very brave I will get you ice cream said her mom and a doll."

"Kathy smiled and said ok." Before exiting the car Julia put a mask on for Kathy as they Entered the supermarket Kathy noticed everyone had masked on.

"Mom?, Yes honey? Why is everyone covering there faces?"

"Well honey, everyone is being cautious not to fall sick"Julia replied.

it was only a certain amount of people allowed in the store.

There were markers where the people stood to the lineup for payment.

The busiest supermarket was almost empty.

A lady with a disposable cover all with a bottle of sanitizer it is now only ten customers with social distancing and sanitizing of each customer.

This was all new to everyone. Who would have thought that regularly washing hands and wearing a mask will become a part of a daily lifestyle?

Kathy kept fidgeting with her mask as her mother constantly reminded her to not remove the mask. While walking through the aisle, Kathy kept scratching her arm where she was given the injection.

Julia never noticed as she was focused on her grocery shopping list.

Mommy said Kathy, I am busy honey said Julia, Mommy what honey?

My arm is itchy and burning. Honey, it will go away, mommy will make it better when she gets home. Kathy's arm is hurting as she starts rubbing it.

Julia is to focus on her shopping list to notice that Kathy is becoming red in the face.

They now reach the speed point where they are paying for the grocery as Kathy's legs start feeling a strong sore.

Mom I want to go home she says, yes, we will be going home now says Julia right after I pay for this.

What about your ice cream honey and your doll?

Kathy shakes her head she wants to go home. Exiting the supermarket Julia is relieved she got there early because there are now over two hundred people queuing.

Walking to the car Julia notices Kathy is noticeably quiet.

Honey are you ok? Kathy shakes her head as her mother opens the car and packs in the grocery, "Kathy climbs in by the backseat honey" Kathy now lay her head down and closes her eyes.

Julia now attempts to call Robert and he is not answering his phone, Rushing to the hospital. Julia speeds past traffic arriving at the hospital, Julia rushes into the waiting room "I need help she screams frantically."

As a nurse approaches her. Hi, I am Becky she says what is the problem, Mam?

My daughter just got very feverish, and she is now not waking up. The nurse guides now takes Kathy and rushes her into the ward as Julia follows her.

"What did she eat or drink last?"She became like this after she took the vaccination injection.

"Does she have any allergies?"

No, she does not. Ok get her up to the intensive care unit. Kathy,s fever is high.

They now rush Kathy up to the intensive care unit, Julia's phone is ringing she does not notice it her mind is focused on Kathy, s.

"Will she be ok?"

The nurse now ask Julia to go to the waiting room to give the doctors space.

Julia now stands by the door of the intensive care unit, peaking in she now reaches for her phone and sees two miss calls from Robert, she phones him back.

"I have been trying to get a hold of you where have you been Robert?"

"I had a dentist appointment I think you forgot."

I did forget sorry, anyway I am here to home, and you are not here where are you and Kathy? I am over the hospital after the injection Kathy had a fever and now, she is not waking up.

"Why did you not try calling me says Robert,"

"I have but you were at the dentist remember anyway get over here I need you so does Kathy."

"I am on my way"

Julia now hangs up the phone. Looking through a tiny window in the door.

The doctor now walks out he is old and pale he has a mask on as he removes his mask.

Are you Mrs.? The doctor opens the folder, MRS. Hamilton?

"Yes, I am" says Julia in a concerned tone folding her arms,

"Is she going to be, ok?"

Since the army, Julia could never cope in certain situations with all the deaths she had witnessed she was afraid yo loose Kathy.

"What happened will my baby be, OK? Dammit answer me she shouts."

The staff now looks out the doors, MRS. Hamilton, please calm down. Did you take the Vaccine? No says Julia scratching her arms nervously.

Can we please have a seat over here he says points to the brown armchairs,

"fine,she says"

Your daughter is fine she will be out in no time, the vaccination she took was the cause of this.She had a allergic reaction,

Where have she recieved your vaccination?

"At the pharmacy"

"Okay Mam,did you get the vaccination?"

No, I was getting mine in the morning.

Perhaps you should wait abit because these vaccines were brought out at last minute and was not thouroughly tested I am assuming.

My advise to you is hold on with the vaccine, till we have more details on what caused her to get such a high fever.

Thank you doctor.
