nervously.
    “Miss, are…are you okay?” he asked anxiously. He looked towards the driver’s side window.
    “I’m fine. What the hell is going on?” I asked worriedly holding my belly.
    We both watched as the man in the red Ram truck got out of the truck and walked over to the car. The cab driver opened the window.
    “Hey man, are you fucking crazy dude?” he shouted and that’s when I heard the pop. The man from the truck had shot the cab driver in the side of his head at close range. His blood splattered and pieces of his head hit the windshield. His blood covered my hands as I covered my face. I ducked immediately lying across the back seat of the cab covering my head with one hand and locking the door with the other, and then I heard someone lifting the handle to get into the cab.  I reached for the handle on the back passenger side as I slid my body across the seat. I heard people on the street screaming. I opened the cab door on the passenger side and crawled out of the cab onto the street.  I glanced over at the Ram truck and the driver took off almost running over the pedestrians crossing the street. I could hear the police sirens coming closer. I looked up through the crowd trying to find a direction in which to run to. A man motioned with his hand for me to run towards him. I grabbed my purse and I ran as quickly as I could into his arms. The ambulance was rushing through the traffic to get to the cab driver. I hated the sounds of an ambulance. It brought back so many horrible memories. I stood frozen for a moment, shutting my eyes tightly, blocking out the sounds of the sirens and staring at the large crowd that was forming around the cab over his shoulder.
    “You okay?” He wrapped me in his arms. I quickly awoke as I heard the familiar voice. I glanced up towards his face meeting piercing blue eyes to find Nick holding me in his embrace. I held onto him tightly without saying a word as he kissed my cheek.
    “Jen?” he whispered into my ear.
    “Nick?” I whispered out of breath. My body was trembling so badly. I was afraid to let him go.
    “Jenesis, Oh my God. Are you okay?” he held me tighter around my waist as I held him around his neck. “Come on.” He grabbed my hand and we scurried through the crowd. A police officer approached us.
    “Hey Captain, is she okay? Does she need an ambulance?” He asked eyeing me up and down.
    “No, I’m fine.” I shook my head.
    “I’ll take her down to the precinct.” His eyebrows furrowed as if he remembered me from somewhere. “Jenesis Hunter, right?” he said sternly.
    “Yes.”
    “I’ll take it from here Nick…I mean, Captain.” He said grabbing onto my elbow.
    “No…you’re not.” Nick’s eye’s turned to steel when the officer grabbed my elbow. “She’s not going with you or anyone else. She’s coming with me.” He yanked the officer’s hand off of my elbow and held my hand gently. I stared at the officer and remembered his face when I was in the hospital after being shot. The officer gave Nick a killer look and shook his head.
    “Are you sure you want to deal with her ?” he said arrogantly.
    “Keep walking. I got this. You and I will speak tonight Officer Daniels. Don’t ever address me again without calling me sir. Do you understand that officer?” He said angrily.
    The officer looked down at the floor then glanced up at him.
    “Yes sir. I’m sorry sir. I didn’t mean to disrespect you.” He replied almost whimpering.
    “Get out of my face. Now.” Nick growled.
“What’s going on?” I asked.
    “I don’t know. We need to get more details about what happened.”
    “I was headed for the Port authority.”
    “I know…I’m just nervous. He could’ve shot you. Port authority, why?” he asked puzzled.
    “I was going back home to visit relatives.” I had to stop and take a breath.
    “You’re going to have to stick around and answer some questions. Is that okay?” He said as his beautiful blue eyes
