The Edwards Family's Herfordshire Estate - Part 4

Erin: Thank you for your time Dr.Edwards..... I'm so sorry to have disturbed you at home.

Erin hangs up. As a nurse walks past the door Erin calls out to her.

.... excuse me nurse could you please page Dr. Gupta urgently..... I would like to report a SERIOUS breach of ethics.

Alexis: I'm not saying it did... I just... I don't know... yeah. I'm ready.

She looks at Ashley.

Alexis: Are you going to be ok?

Raquel smiles, putting a hand on Alexis shoulder

Raquel:"My dear, if things can start working out for me, they can start working out for anybody."


Ashley looks over at his daughter
Ashley:"I'm going to be practically right behind you hun. I'll be fine."

The nurse nods and heads off quickly. Dr. Ross glares at Erin...

Dr. Ross: Well, obviously the woman that was here earlier was much nicer...and much more concerned about his well being. Much more than...that so called 'proud and stuck up' family of Jillian's. Hell...he doesn't even look like he belongs with you people.


Naomi: Alright...I'll meet you back there. Alexis? Are you ready to go hon?



The pilot in Ben's plane announces the arrival and touchdown in Ithica, New York...

Alexis nods at Ashley, then smirks.

Alexis: Just don't drink anything I wouldn't. ok?

She looks over at Raquel and grins.

Alexis: You make it seem like that's a miracle.

Erin: That's it sweetheart..... you go ahead and dig your grave a little deeper...... but you are right about one thing.....

Erin glares at Dr Ross.

.... I am not nice...... and neither is my family.

Raquel:"It feels like it..."

Ashley:"Aye, soon as the wings are boxed up, I'm heading there."



Colin closes his eyes for a moment
Colin:"We'll laugh about this one day...right?"

Dr. Ross: You have no chance of winning this. The moment they see Jillian's name on this...farce...they will throw it out, and I will...

Alarms start to beep. "Code Red, Code Red..." Shawn starts to convulse. The black color darkens again...and seems to start to collect in his chest...

Dr. Ross: Shit....Look out....


Micah: Well...here we are. Did you perfer rope or handcuffs, darling?

He smirks at Colin while texting Amanda. "Arrived safely...so here we go."

Alexis nods at her father.

Alexis: Alright.

She looks back at Raquel, glancing slightly down at her stomach for a moment, smiling.

Alexis: I guess you're right... we'd better go, Uncle Paddy's looks about ready to take off without us.

Raquel grabs Naomi by the hand

Raquel:"Time to go hon. Lover boy will be right with you soon..."

She takes Naomi out to Paddy's car, following Alexis. Paddy already has the motor running


Colin smirks
Colin:"If I had a nickel for every time you asked that...well...I'd have a dime by now..."

Erin steps out of the way. But remains near his his head she speaks to him.

Erin: Fight it Shawn..... come on..... come back to me..... please.

Alexis gets in the backseat and notices, amused, that Raquel has a hold of Naomi.

Alexis: Hey now, I'm supposed to be the one who kidnapped her!

Raquel:"And you were doing a fine job until she got away and hijacked a limo."
she sticks her tongue out

Soon as everybody is in the car, Paddy speeds off. Moments later they are back at the hospital. Paddy goes his seperate way as Raquel goes up to see Shawn.
When she gets to her room her heart seems to freeze, her jaw drops.

Raquel:"Shawn!?"

Dr. Ross is working frantically along with the other doctors that have responed to the Code Red. Soon after Raquel enters the room, the doctors escort her and Erin out...as Shawn starts to leak from his skin pores again...and starts to throw up blood....violently...

Dr. Ross: He's relapsing!

Doctor 2: How is that possible, he hasn't had anymore of the Black Lotus Heroin!

His breathing gets very, very shallow....and the time between beeps of the EKG....get longer....and longer...


Micah: Hmmm....a dimebag of weed might actually help the situation...A LOT....and you know I'm right...

Alexis walks back into Alex's room, and her eyes light up the moment she sees Alex.

Moira: Well, look who's back. Guess I'd better leave you to the expert.

Alexis walks over to the bed and gives Alex a kiss.

Alexis: I missed you.

Raquel's yell makes both women glance out the door.

Alex : I missed you too.

He hears the yell.

.... what's going on?

Raquel goes for the door, frantically trying to open it but it wont budge. Her body slides down to the floor where she gives way to tears
She looks over at Erin.
Raquel:"...Why? Why is this happening?"

Colin:"Dude, you know I stopped with the drugs when I stopped traveling around. And you are still the only person who knows about that. Besides...I'm not sure the "Light" smelling like reefer would be a good idea..."

The frantic pace in the room comes to almost a stand still when....

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP...........

Dr. Ross: START CPR NOW!

Alexis shrugs, wide eyed.

Alexis: We just got back.

Moira: I'll go see wot 'appened now....

She walks out of the room.

Erin: I don't know.... the painkillers sent him to sleep...... then..... just..... this.

Raquel:"The...painkillers?...Did they....?.....Oh god...Shawn...."

Moira hears the noise in Shawn's room and runs over.

Moira: Wot is it? That sound ain't wot I think it is... is it?

Erin grabs Raquel's hand. She's choking back tears.

Erin: Listen Raquel..... do not think for a second he's goinng to die.... he's going to fight this..... he's going to win and he's going to be fine..... do you hear me?

Raquel pulls Erin towards her, hugging her
Raquel:"I know I'm just scared...I'm just..."
she starts to cry even more
