Ten minutes later the group was rushing into the hospital. Jake and Caleb walked straight up the receptionist. "Which room is Star Adams in?" They asked.
Not looking up the receptionist sighed. "She's still in ICU. No one but immediate family is allowed."
"We're her brothers now room number now." Jake growled.
She scoffed and finally looked up, and gasped. "Holy Crap you're The Intrest."
Andrea pushed forward.
"Look woman we aint going to tell you again now give us the damn room number." She snapped.
"But only family…." What part of we are her brothers do you not understand lady3" cal eb shouted frustrated. The woman laughed. "Star Adams? You're joking right? There's no way you guys can be her brothers her mother skipped out town the day she was born. Didn't even want her so i doubt she had anymore kids." Austen and Vincent had to hold back Jake and Caleb.
"Get a damn blood sample lady we are her older brothers. Mom had us first." Jake stated trying to calm down.
The woman wasn't sure what to do so she called the only other person she could think of.
"Adams speaking." "Hey sheriff. Sorry to bug you during this time but we got a situation here at the front desk." "On my way."
She turned to the group. "Give us a few and we will sort this all out." She says sweetly.
The guys roll their eyes. A few moments pass then they hear footsteps coming up.
"Now Cynthia what is this all about…." He trails off seeing the boys gathered around.
"Gentleman, lady. Im Michael Adams the sheriff here. Now what seems to be the issue."
"The issue mr Adams…." Jake started. "....Is that you need to let us see our sister." Caleb finished. Michael went still and looked closely at the boys. "I don't know who you are talking about boys so maybe…." "We are Jake and Caleb Heartwell. Sons of june Heartwell. I think you know perfectly who we are talking about." Jake snarled.
Michaels face went red with anger. "Now look here. This is my town, and I don't appreciate you out of to where coming in bere and disrupting our peace." He said.
Jake went right up to Michael. "If you don't let us see her I guarantee every little thing you've done gets sent over to your boss. And I don't think you want that happening." Jake waves the phone in front and d his face showing a picture of Michael shooting up in his living room.
Michael gritted his teeth. "Room 605" he snapped.
Cynthia began to protest. "Shut it up before I do it for you." Andrea warned.
The group rushed down the hallways, finally coming to 605. Taking a deep breathe, Jake opened the door and quietly walked in. Caleb followed close by and gasped at the sight of their little sister. And little in both senses. Star seemed like a grade schooler instead of a teen. But her hat got their attention was bandages around her arms and head. Jake turned to Vincent.
"You said only her back was injured." He hissed. Vincent shook his head unable to look away from Star. She seemed so fragile. The picture in her file didn't do her justice. With cherry red hair like her mother and small hands and face. She looked like and Angel. Vincent shook his head clear. And looked on her medical chart.
"Blunt trauma to the head, possible concussion, lacerations on both arms. Signs of struggle. Cause home invasion." He read.
"This doesn't make sense." Caleb muttered. "This has to be his doing as a cover up." Andrea reasoned. "She can't stay here Jake." Caleb said. Jake nodded his head.
"Book rooms in the nearest in hotel motel I don't care. We won't be far from her." "On it.." Vincent typed away on his phone.
A couple days pass and Star still hasn't woken up. When asked "Medical coma so the swelling can go down." Was told to them.
The boys quickly found out that Star wasn't very much liked and in retrospect, they weren't either.
Caleb nearly tossed the nurse out when they were rubbing too hard on Stars wounded arms.
"Listen here now boys. I dont need some jezebels sons trying to tell me how to do our job. Know you might me famous.and all but that won't fly here." She protested. Caleb looked at her with anger. "What did you just call our mother?"
"You herd me boy. Running out on a hardworking man, leaving a baby only days old, to be with her lover and two bastard sons." Her voice was.filled with so much venom, Caleb was shocked.
"I suggest you leave the room." Jake growled out. "Truth hurts honey. But facts are facts."
"I said get the hell out!" Jake just about shouted. With a huff the nurse left.
Andrea picked up the towel and began gently cleaning Stars arms and face.
"She can't stay here Jake, please." Jake shook his head and turned to Vincent.
"Get the sheriff down here. I think it's time we had a little chat."
