I am losing my mind trying to get to Faith. I am taking curves in the road dangerously fast on my bike. I have both Cooper and Brody with me, but they are in Brody’s jeep and I need to remind myself to keep their headlights in my mirror. I see headlights coming my way and hope it is the car with Faith in it. It tore my heart out listening to Faith fight for the air in her lungs. I just need to get to her. I left my brothers to deal with the community, but I keep going over why Samson and Red Cap would separate themselves from Boozer and Trick. Something is wrong with that. If they were going to the community, why would they not go there together? The only thing that comes to my mind is that Red Cap and Samson are doubling back. I texted Cap to warn him, but why would Samson take that chance. I see the car in the other lane stop. I know Faith is in that car and she needs me. I am off my bike and run to the passenger side of the car and when I see Faith’s face, I freeze. Faith’s face is pale but it’s her lips that catch my attention; they have a blue look to them and then she reaches for my arm and I see her fingers are also turning blue and her touch is cold with a slick feel to them. I don’t know what to do or how to touch her when I hear her breathing and I am knocked to my knees by the wheezing sound. I feel hands pulling me backwards and I am shocked but then I see Cooper getting closer with something in his hand. I move backwards, and I see Cooper put the thing in Faith’s mouth and he pumps the thing twice and then moves it away from her.

“What are you giving her?” Charity asks.

“It is a short-acting bronchodilators inhaler. Ewan and I both have asthma, and we always keep one of these inhalers with us. Faith should talk to her doctor about it.” Cooper answers Charity. I can already see the improvement in Faith.

“She has an inhaler, but she hasn’t had an asthma attack in a while. We need to get her to the hospital.” Charity tells us. I agree. Brody is standing behind Charity and he has his hand protectively over his growing child.

“We are getting you checked out while we are there.” Brody says to Charity and I know he is expecting an argument, but Charity just nods her head yes and then she looks at the woman on the other side of the car.

“Thank you for helping us,” Charity pauses, “What is your name?”

“My name is Carol and you are welcome, but I need to get my son home.” We all look towards the back seat and her son has fallen asleep.

“Let’s move Faith to the jeep.” Brody yells at me. I look at Faith who still has not said anything. She looks asleep with just a few jerks occasionally. Charity notices me watching Faith closely.

“It’s normal for her to sleep now. That attack took a lot of energy and she is going to want to sleep for a while. We do need to make sure she is alright at the hospital.” I move in and remove her seat belt and pick her up and take her to Brody’s jeep. I make sure she is belted in and safe. This is scaring the shit out of me. Faith has not said a word. I kiss her head, cheek and then briefly on her lips. Charity climbs in back with Faith. Cooper and Brody get in the front. I see the woman’s car leaving and I run to my bike and follow the jeep holding my world.

The ride to the hospital seems like it takes forever. Brody pulls right up to the emergency room entrance and parks his jeep. Medical personnel come out, so I know Brody must have called ahead. I park my bike and I see Faith looking around for me. I am thankful she is awake. I walk up to the side of the gurney they have put Faith on. I take her hand and I kiss it.

“We need to get her inside, so we can help her.” The nurse tells me. I start to let go of Faith’s hand, but she grabs my hand.

“No, he’s staying with me. He’s my husband.” That puts a smile on my face even if Faith is struggling to get the words out.

“Follow us.” The nurse says. I look at Faith and I can’t wait another minute.

“I love you, Faith.” I see the tears in Faith’s eyes, but I know we need to get her in the hospital.

“Love…you.” Faith gets out. With that the nurse moves the gurney and I follow it closely. I am not letting this woman out of my sight.
