CHAPTER NINETY NINE

  THEME: Suspects

  CHICAGO, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

  AT AINSLEY HOSPITAL

  The rush to the hospital was in a bad way, hectic scene in the emergency room and this feeling she had felt before; The fear of losing Ian. The fear of not being in Ian's world again.

  "Don't let it be. Let him be safe.” Ria chanted in her head.

  Ria pushed her way through the nurses and patients who were in her way and she ran towards the intensive care unit area. She met Lauren and Josie sitting in front of the intensive care unit. They stared at her as she stopped on track. Ria could recognize Josie from the pictures Ian had showed her on his phone.

  “Ria.” Lauren stood up and came to her.

  "How is he?" Ria asked her. Her eyes held a fearful look but with the hope that Ian would be fine.

  Nothing would go wrong! Ian would be fine! She prayed.

  A solemn look displayed on Lauren's face. "We are not sure yet.” She said.
