"Careful of him alright, I want him alive before he goes to jail" Officer Jacob's laughed after enjoying the scene between the two for a while. While Drake was shooting daggers at the man in front of him, his reinforcement team arrived, each armed just the way they were trained to be.
They arranged themselves ready to attack. As much as Drake wanted to join them, they refused. They wouldn't want their boss to get hurt or have any blood stain on his attire for they knew he would interfere if they allowed him to go in with them. Within a few minutes, they were inside the warehouse exchanging bullets with their opponent....

"Shhh" Drake said as he brushed her hair with his fingers " it's okay, you're safe now alright". She still felt unconscious and still saw things being blare before her eyes. "ISN'T THE AMBULANCE HERE ALREADY, HOW DAMN LONG DO THEY HAVE TO TAKE TO GET HERE?" he yelled at his guards and reinforcement team.
They all just looked at each other while praying silently. They wish the ambulance was here already, because they don't want to face the wrath of their boss. In a few minutes, two nurses rushed into the warehouse pulling a stretcher towards where their patient was lying.
Drake carried Jessica and placed her on the stretcher while continuously brushing her hair. "I won't leave you alone alright. Never" he whispered into her ear even though he knew she couldn't hear him. They took her to the ambulance and sped off.

Earlier on: The two teams were exchanging bullets fiercely inside the warehouse while Drake was pacing back and forth outside. His bodyguards became worried and their leader decided to approach his boss.
"Sir, why don't you sit in the car to wait for the results, am sure madam will be alright when they return her" Santo said, looking at his boss with a worried look on his face.
"I don't remember calling....." Drake couldn't finish what he was about to say when Officer Jacob's rushed out and yelled out on top of his lungs "Call the ambulance quick, she's unwell" Drake quickly rushed inside the warehouse when he heard him say ' she's unwell'. Santo just shook his head then took out to call the ambulance.

When the ambulance came, they took her to the hospital to run tests on her. Drake wanted to call Mr. Montenegro to inform him of what had happened to his daughter but he just didn't know how to go about it. He hesitated for a while before he called a nurse to inform Mr. Montenegro of the current situation of his daughter.
When the nurse was done, she gave Drake a nod that he was on his way, which was a signal for him to leave in order not to be seen by the old man when he arrived. He shrugged then left the hospital without looking back, meanwhile deep down in his heart he wanted to go in there to be with her. Yet he knew the consequences of what might happen if he were to be seen by her relatives.
He sat at the backseat of his car silently as Santo drove him to a nearby hotel instead of his house. He wanted to be near her just in case her father went home to have a rest, he could visit her. He drifted off to sleep since he was tired and his body ached.

Jessica woke up still feeling unconscious and weak. She couldn't see things well because of her blurred vision. Her mother saw her opening her eyes and quickly rushed to the side of her daughter with tears in her eyes. Mr. Montenegro also saw it and also walked to the side of his daughter and ex- wife who was shedding tears
"Oh Jessica, my love, I thought I would lose you ". Olivia sobbed with tears flowing down her cheeks like a stream of water.
"My love, how do you feel? ? Who did this to you" Mr. Montenegro asked with tears beginning to form in his eyes. He couldn't even recognize his daughter with how pale she looked. He wondered who did this to her for her to look so pale and be in much pain.
Jessica just gave her parents a weak smile before closing her eyes. She didn't know who did this to her. She was trying to remember but was too weak to. She was in deep thought when something just dawned on her. 'Drake', where is he? Is he okay, was he also attacked and even killed? She opened her eyes to ask if her parents had seen him.
"Dad, Drake, where is he? Did anything happen to him?" Jessica asked of the first person who came to her mind " He warned me, but I didn't listen. I just got angry at him and left. Now I end up here" Jessica said with tears beginning to flow from in her eyes.
Meanwhile, someone was enraged.
"Wait Jess, do you mean you were with Mr. Lincoln last night?" Mr. Montenegro asked, fuming with anger. ' What does he want from you? That idiot, I hope he has nothing to do with this, ' Mr. Montenegro thought as he looked at his daughter. He was about to ask her just in time for the doctor to come in.
" Uhm sir, the girl is not fully recovered yet, please allow her to get some more rest for a while, then you can come back later " The doctor said with a warm smile. Mr. Montenegro just shrugged then pulled his ex wife with him out of the room.
He still didn't know what Mr. Lincoln was doing with his daughter and what at all Jessica meant by he warned her. He just hopes the young man has nothing to do with this. Just as he and his ex wife left the ICU room through the right, Dracardo came through the elevator on the left so he wasn't noticed by the old man.
Jessica was about to drift off to sleep when the door of her room opened. She looked at the door thinking it was a nurse only to see the handsome looking young man she was worried of staring at her with a concerned look on his face. She stretched her hand and he walked slowly towards her to grab it.....
