After Fredrick Liam got out of the hospital's window, he ran as fast as he could to an area within the hospital that wasn't noticed by anyone. He sighted his car and pressed a button of a little device in his pocket. Lights flickered inside the car. He rushed to it and opened the door tossing the baby who was already fast asleep in the car.
Mr Liam raised himself and began to squeeze his face. 'This could be risky ', he thought as he looked at the dark sky which had lots of stars in it. He guessed the loud crash he heard earlier must have been his wife planning to get out through the window, as she was kind of fond of it. 'I should inform her.' He took out his phone and sent her a message. 'She should be here anytime soon', he thought.
Not long after he had texted her, he saw a figure coming closer to him. He strained his eyes to confirm who it was and when he looked closely he saw his wife leaping towards him. He rushed to her and took her arm to place it on his shoulder.
"Let's get out of this damned place."
Mr Liam told his wife as he helped her to the car.
"Wait…"
Fredrick halted looking at how his wife gasped for breath. He knew what she had been through in the hospital.
"That loud crash earlier, it was you right?"
"Yes"
"I knew it. I would have been back there but I knew you would be able to take care of things in there… Only you have got what it takes to jump down here from that floor."
"Huh… What do you mean?"
"You scaled that window you crashed right?"
"No…"
"Huh"
Fredrick looked at her as she bowed her head.
"It was a diversion… To make up an excuse for how the baby left the ward. I told them he crashed the window and flew through it."
"Wha…?"
"I know… I had no choice. He is going to be wanted but I can't just afford to lose my First child…"
"Hmph"
Fredrick sighed and opened the door of his car.
"Get in. Let's get out of these premises."
She managed to get inside the vehicle. He also got in and started the vehicle. He drove out of there and turned the steering which made the vehicle make a u-turn. Ethel Liam, Fredrick's wife turned back and took a blanket to lay it on the baby. Since everywhere was dark, they used that advantage to hide the baby from the guards who were searching for him.
On the journey back from the hospital, the car was completely silent. Mrs Ethel looked completely vexed as things weren't going well for her. She rested her head on the glass window of the car, staring outside with lots of thoughts in her mind.
Fredrick looked at her as she looked miserable and he sighed. He moved his right hand towards the front of the car to press the play button of the player in the car. The song 'Uptown hills' by Halifax Earl came up and he took his hands away. Ethel frowned her face and put the music off. She rested her head back on the window.
"Why?"
"This isn't the time for that. There is a lot to worry about right now."
"Huh?"
"You should be figuring out how you want us to leave this country with the baby before he gets slaughtered"
"I am sorry to say but that's impossible."
"Do you prefer to see him dead?"
"No… Never mind. I would take care of it."
"Take care of what?"
"Do you want to live your life wanted? It's not all cases the government could take care of for you"
"No, but we can't leave him dead. I can't just agree to kill the only child we managed to conceive after 13 years."
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"We can… Please… We can. I am trying to save us both here."
"Humph… Let me at least name him first…"
"You mean right now?"
"Trem…"
The voice of the baby who had been fast asleep was finally heard as the baby cried out. The arguing couple stopped and kept shut. They had a little look of calmness on their faces. That was the first time they heard him cry.
It wasn't long before they sighted the lights from the fountain at lucky lily hotel. Fredrick turned the steering to the right making the car turn to the parking lot at the hotel. He parked the car, stopped the engine and then rested his back on the seat he sat on. He was stressed out.
Fredrick rested for about 15 minutes and looked at Ethel. She was fast asleep. He smirked a bit while looking at her beautiful face. He then got out of the car. He had to confirm if any news of the lost baby had spread long enough for the Hotel employees to have heard about it.
