"Charlie, Jeff!!" Ginger was running towards them with Gina closely behind. She embraced Jeff as Gina found comfort in her husband's arms. "Charlie, how is Emma?" Gina was choking back the tears as she whispered her question. "Gina, no one wil..." "Mr & Mrs. Hailey?," said a stern looking doctor, who appeared to be in his late fifties. "Yes" replied Charlie, Gina & Jeff in unison. Ginger looked at Jeff, he was obviously very concerned about Emma. "Your daughter just woke up & she is going to be just fine, but we need to keep her here for a day or two just to be sure. She needs her rest, so you can see her in the morning" "Oh Thank God," cried Jeff. Charlie grabbed the doctors hand & started shaking it. Ginger embraced Gina. "Jeff, what happened, exactly?" Ginger finally thought to ask. "Charlie, why don't you tell them your theory" Scratching his head, Charlie went into detail, giving them the info that Tommy had told Jeff along with his own gut feeling about who did it. "Caroline? Why would that Slimey Limey want to hurt Emma & kidnap Tommy?" Ginger couldn't believe that someone would go that far, even Caroline. Gina was too stunned to say anything, after all she had always been friendly to Caroline. "Well," began Charlie. "Tommy said her name was Carrie, right after Caroline & I married we went to tell her family. And her little sister, Patty, called her Carrie. Plus Tommy said she talked funny. What other dame is screwy enough to want to hurt our families?" Gina started to cry softly when she saw Tommy sleeping soundly on the chair. What kind of person was Caroline that she could do this? Gina couldn't help but wonder, she could've killed Emma. "Dear God are the rest of our kids safe?" Gina finally found her voice. Jeff answered "After Charlie & I put 2 & 2 together we got ahold of Mom & Al & they are at your house with your boys, and Hank is with Susan & Steve." Gina had no clue, Ginger had went home & found Hank with her kids, she had just seen Gina at Brandstaetter's. So she went to get her & took her right to the hospital. "C'mon, Mutt, let's go find my ex-wife." Charlie stormed out of the hospital with Jeff barely a step behind. |
