Chapter Four

Please, Mrs. Hamilton, for the sake of your daughter, try to remain calm. Ok, says Julia, "Can I go see her?"

The porter is moving her from the intensive care unit.

Then you can see her. "Do you have any other relatives who went for the vaccine today? "

No says Julia," Mrs. Hamilton is there something you not telling me says the doctor? "

You look very anxious; "I am sorry, " the doctor says to Julia. "I am just so scared anything will happen to her. "And having Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder, I am still coping with that after serving in the military.

"I would just never imagine seeing my daughter like this."

I understand, says the doctor.

Robert now enters the hospital as Julia runs up to him and hugs him.

"She will be ok."

The doctor now walks up to them. I am Doctor Patel. You must be MR. Hamilton?

"Yes, I am,"

"Can I speak to you for a minute, please says the doctor."

They now enter a small office.

"Your daughter is fine, but is your wife getting treatment for her condition?"

"Which condition are you referring to, doctor?"

"She said she has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,"

Yes, she is.

"This is my card if you need anything."

Suddenly people are running in carrying their kids in their arms. We need urgent medical assistance. Can someone please help the nurse look around and now run-up to the people

"what happened? Says the nurse."

They had the vaccine and became ill. Robert now looks around and sees how helpless the kids are, lying in their parent's arms unconscious. The one nurse now runs up to the doctor, we out of rooms, and they have all been vaccinated.

Doctor, what do we do? Says the nurse.

Dr. Patel now asks the nurse how many doctors we have on duty?

Only three Doctors People are now starting to cough as the doctor tells the nurses to make sure their mask is on and every patient is wearing a mask.

Why are we only three doctors on duty?

Others called the in sick doctor. "This pandemic is getting out of control." "We just had calls from the other hospitals enquiring if we have space to transmit some patience over here. ""

The doctor now excuses himself; we better get out of here, says Robert to Julia.

Julia looks around and sees a boy shaking as white foam comes from his mouth. The nurses are very few.

"Robert, you go get Kathy, and I will try to assist with this patience."

"No, you cannot, look outside by the door" Julia looks out and sees people queuing outside. The ward is complete, and the waiting rooms.

"Listen to me, Julia says Robert. I know you want to help, but your daughter, our daughter, needs both her parents. This flu has gone out of control."

Julia now looks around and t the nurses trying to gain control of what is happening.

Julia sees the kids are sick, and some have collapsed vomit laying on the floor as they shake as if they have an epilepsy fit.

"Julia, keep focusing. Our kid needs us,"

Robert now takes her hand and goes to the ward, and looks at Kathy. She is under a drip. Robert notices Julia is fixed on the people around her. He now raises his voice. "Julia, snap out of it."

She now turns to her daughter and runs to the bed holding the drip while Robert picks her up.

Robert carries her out of the hospital people are pushing between the doors to get in as Robert barges through them.

After laying Kathy down, Robert let Julia sit in the back seat by Kathy while

Julia holds Her daughter's hand.

Julia's eyes are teary as she sees those helpless kids lying on the pavement.

They all react to the vaccine, and there is no driving space in the road as Robert holds the hooter while driving. It is chaos all over.

"What are we going to do, Robert?"

Going home is the safest place to be right now.

"Lock our doors and let nobody in our premises is very secure."

"Robert now takes out his phone. Who are you going to call?"

"The security"

He tries phoning, and there is no answer. Robert tries again still no response.

"Where are they when I need them,"

Robert slams the phone down and drives home. The highway is blocked off. He now reverses the car and takes a different route?

There is a route if you take a right here and then a short left. He now takes the streets Julia suggests and finds a clear road leading home. They then climb out of the car and hear police sirens and gunshots close by.

Let us get in the house. They now enter the door. As they close the gate and lock the door, a police car stops outside the premises. Robert goes upstairs and lays Kathy down on the bed.

He then checks her temperature. It is thirty-seven. Heading downstairs, he hears the cops outside his house demand that the person drop their weapon. Suddenly gunshots go off.

Julia now goes downstairs to the basement and gets firearms tossing one to Robert.

"We might need these as they look out the window. "The cops are lying injured.

Julia and Robert now look at each other as they run outside and shoot down toward the gunman who shots the cops.

They then take off running down the road as Julia and Robert carries the cops inside.                                                                                                           

They were shot in the chest. What is your name? I am officer Philip, and that's officer Michael.

Julia now gets on the radio with dispatch; this is a 10-78. The two injured officers look at Julia.

"Are you a cop?"

Robert now takes the bulletproof vest. You will be fine says, Robert.

"What is the status of this call?"

Cops shot and suspects on the run. The officers now stand up and take the radio, dispatch Officer Philip.

"We are okay,"

Suspects are heading north of boulevard crescent.

All unit, armed suspects on the run approach with caution. "I do repeat proceed with caution suspects heavily armed."

The Officers now stand up and thank them as they head out of the door.

We need to keep everything locked. This pandemic has caused Havoc, and we need to be extra cautious now, Julia says.
