Saved (Wanted 2) - Page 104
I turned around to look at her when Ellie answered her cell.
“You motherfucker!”
I stopped dead in my tracks. What the hell?
“Ellie?”
“I never thought I could be as angry with you, Jefferson as I am right now. I hate you!”
Holy shit. What the hell is going on?
“Jeff?”
“Gunner? What the hell is wrong with Ellie?”
“Did Rebecca have her baby?”
“Um, yeah, but turns out. ”
“Okay, do you think maybe now you could come to Hill Country Memorial Hospital in Fredericksburg? Your fiancée needs you. ”
Oh my god. Ari.
“What’s going on, Gunner? Is Ari okay?”
“She was upset after you walked out on her. She took Rose out for a ride. Rose got spooked by a bolt of lightning and then took off running. She jumped a small creek and Ari fell off. She has a few bruised ribs and some other issues. ”
I turned around and glared at Rebecca. This was her fault. I hated her more than I ever thought I could. I turned back toward the door and left before I did or said something I would regret.
“What other issues Gunner? Is she okay?” I started to jog down to the elevator. After I stepped in, I lost my cell signal.
“Mother fucking son of a bitch!” I yelled as I slammed my hand into the wall.

Once I got out of the hospital, I called Gunner back while I ran to my truck.
“Gunner, talk to me. What’s wrong with her? Is she awake? What else did she hurt?”
“Jeff, calm down. She hit her head, but they said she just has a mild concussion. And. ”
“And what, Gunner!”
“She wants to be the one to tell you herself. ”
What the fuck? “What? Okay, I’m on my way. I’m leaving Austin and heading to Fredericksburg now. ” I threw the phone down in the passenger seat and took off.

By the time I got to the hospital in Fredericksburg, I was that shocked I didn’t end up with at least five speeding tickets. I rushed in to the ER and was told Ari was in her own room. When I got to her floor, walking off the elevator, I had the worst feeling. This was twice today when I had the feeling that I had just lost something important to me.
I looked up to see Gunner, Ellie, Mark, Sue, Emma and Garrett all sitting in the waiting room. Shit!
Ellie jumped up and started to walk over to me, but then Gunner got up and grabbed her. She looked pissed.
“Um, how long have y’all been here?” I asked, looking at everyone.
“Did she have the baby?” Ellie asked.
