I can not believe its been 5 years. So much has happened, and I honestly felt so horrible not finishing this saga. But I owe it to anyone who may still care to finish this. I apologize for going ghost! I have not written in many years. So, forgive me if it is lacking!!! THIS WILL BE A TWO-PART ENDING AND HOPEFULLY PART TWO WILL BE OUT WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO. I also am thinking about writing some more works now that my life has steadied. Thank you to everyone who has read and/or continues to read my stories. 5 years ago, I was nearing 20 years old and a timid beginner. Now I am still a beginner but I still very much love reading and writing.
I hope you guys are satisfied with this two-part ending. Here is FIRE AND RAIN CHAPTER 9 — ENDING PART I
****************
A week later
RAIN AWOKE IN THE HOSPITAL. She attempted to lean up but did so too quickly and immediately laid back down. She lifted one of her arms and it was then she noticed the IV and then suddenly the beeping monitor at her bedside. She lifted her arm over her eyes as she also became aware of the blinding lights in her room. One by one her senses came alive. What the hell happened? She thought to herself.
The last thing she remembered was healing Marcello and then making her awaited escape. Marcello…She winced but leaned up in her bed and pushed aside the initial pain. She recalled his face so stoic and brave. She thought about his aristocrat nose, his piercing gray eyes, and slicked back raven dark hair. She let a tear fall as she thought about how his large hands would envelope her and make her feel safe.
She should have explained herself. She now recalled the accident. She thought to herself maybe it was Karma for her cowardice. She spent all that time attempting to get him to let down his walls and when he had she left him. She was too scared to experience what Jessie had made her go through before.
She thought about that day. She felt ashamed and rejected. Although laying in the hospital bed and wishing Marcello were at her side, she realized that he was not Jessie. Jessie always had an ulterior motive. He was never with her to love her. Hell, Jessie was still trying to ruin her life to get what he and her Mother always wanted. Her Father’s land.
Rain snapped out of her thoughts as the Doctor strolled into the room after being notified by the Nurse that his patient was awake. He was short in stature and an elderly dark skin man with years of experience and a renowned internal medicine expertise and one of the best bedside manners around.
“Ms. Wikavaya, I see you are fully awake. Your vitals have been steadied we have just been waiting for the lethargy to wear off. But I’m glad you both are okay”
He placed his hand on his stethoscope and leaned down to place it on her chest. Both? Rain thought but ignored his strange wording. He did have a thick Nigerian accent. She thought she had misheard him.
“Thank you for all you and your staff have done for me Doctor Nwabara” She stared at his employee badge. “Will it be possible for me to leave here soon?”
She peered into his kind brown eyes with a pleading look in her own. She had to get out of here and make things right with Marcello. She could only imagine what he must be thinking not hearing from her for what she suspected, looking at the date and time on the TV monitor, was about a week. She became even more emotional and tears welled in her eyes thinking about how anxious he must feel. He had not heard from her and being the man he is, he would want to know she was okay. She also thought about her family, not her Mother, but Jazz, Connor, James, and Donny. She had not spoken to them either.
“I want you to work with Physical therapy and Occupational therapy. Let us get you up and walking, continue IV fluids, and do some labs. If everything looks good with the both of you, then let us see about a possible discharge tomorrow or by the end of this week”
He settled with her and handed her a tissue. He felt her pain, but it was his obligation to make sure she was well before releasing her. There he did it again. Rain thought to herself but shook it off again, almost certain, she must have misheard him.
“Can I ask one more favor of you?” She asked as the Doctor paused and turned back to her.
“What can we do to make you more comfortable?”
He smiled willing to oblige if it meant getting that sad look off her face that was making him feel empathetic towards her. He also wanted to have a talk with her about something he thought she could help them with involving another patient. He wanted to give her time to settle before bombarding her with his own interest.
“Can I have a phone? I want to call my family” She said, knowing it was time to stop running and being near death made her realize how important it was to have family.
Marcello had lost his and that is what hardened his heart. He did not have anyone to fall back on when gaziantep escort he was struggling and when he needed to feel loved. He had Jazz and Connor but Marcello being the prideful man that he was she knew he would only open to them so much. He had opened to Rain and she repaid him by healing him but what good was that if she could not stay by his side. She had to make this right.
“Of course!” He left her bedside and requested the tech to retrieve her phone and charger hoping it would help his patient feel better.
He felt it was a miracle from God that after her tremendous accident that she basically healed herself over time. Day by day she healed, and he had never seen anything like it. Him being a man of spiritual faith he did not question it. He just was thankful to God for every life he saved and knowing with her he had saved two. It was more than he could have hoped for. He knew she was blessed, and that God would protect her and her unborn child.
He walked down the hall and shook his head as he entered the room of one of the Nun’s that he was treating. They had found her and another one of the Sister’s on the side of the road unconscious and poisoned. The substance found in their labs was nothing they had ever seen, and they were still studying it. He entered her room and she smiled starting off with a prayer as she did before every one of his daily rounding’s with her. Now that she was awake and alert they would call the police back to the hospital so she could report to police who did this to her and who was this Gabriella that the other Nun’s who had came to visit kept talking about.
MARCELLO SAT ON CONNOR’S COUCH AND CONTINUE TO SCOWL AND SULK. Jazz, William, and Connor looked at Marcello with sympathetic looks. It had been a week since Connor and Jazz showed up at his doorstep with the news. Gabriella, she maybe was alive, but not only that but Ellen and her little minions had kidnapped Gabriella to get back at him and Connor. William revealed that while on the inside Jessica was a part of an all-women’s crime syndicate headed by Ellen.
She protected Jessica on the inside and she owed Ellen a great debt. That is when she sought a job at their place of business and slowly drained the money out. However, somewhere along the way she stumbled upon this information regarding Gabriella and the plan had changed.
He did not understand how. He told Jazz, Connor, and William about Rain’s EX who she revealed was threatening her. They were all starting to wonder if it was a coincidence that both Jessica and Jessie always knew where to find him and Rain. They were sure that it was not, and it made Marcello even more sick. He rubbed his large hands over his olive skin and handsome face.
His Gray eyes grew darker as he thought about Rain’s beautiful face. Her honey brown skin that glowed and glisten in the sun. Her Cupids bow pink mouth that he could devour for hours and her small petite frame that he could lift into his arms as her long dark hair swayed at her waist. He knew something had happened to Rain as well.
After she left, he just knew he could convince her to return. He called her phone repeatedly for days but no answer. He called the agency that Connor and Jazz hired her from and they had not heard from Rain either. That is when he knew it was possible that they both had teamed up and taken Gabriella and Rain. He could not stomach the thought they had killed Rain and maybe that is why they did not have a picture of her available.
They had hesitated but had officially got the police involved who were not much help. It had been a week and they had absolutely no leads. Marcello was dying inside not knowing where Rain and his possibly little Sister were. He was still struggling with the fact that Gabriella may still be alive. The girl in the photo was much older but he felt like it was Gabriella.
At least that is what his heart hoped. He still wanted to save the innocent girl regardless but part of him was prepared for the possibility that this all was maybe just a sick joke that Ellen, Jessica, and Jessie were playing on him and possibly how they lured Rain away after healing him.
James bounded through the door, using his spare key from when he Nannied Donny, and not bothering to knock. He had some tea hot off the press and he needed to share it now.
“Oh my God ya’ll I think I got some tea that could led us to Gabriella and therefore Rain.” James stated and Marcello’s hands dropped from his face and he immediately stood up and rushed to James side in 3 quick strides.
“Where the fuck are they?” Marcello exhaled the breath he had been holding since James said their names.
“Damn Marcello! Can a Bitch breathe? I said I think. I don’t want us getting our –” James started but before he could finish Marcello cursed
“Shit! Then why did you come here if you have nothing but gossip James.” Marcello yelled and he konya escort did not mean to yell but he had barely spoken a word in a week and he finally believed he had found a real reason to speak. To get the information he needed to find this possible Gabriella who could then lead him to Rain.
“First off, cool your jets, pump your brakes before we all head to the chopper Terminator” James retorted, and Marcello tucked his tongue in his cheek to refrain from snickering at James quick quips. He was never fully prepared for them even in the most serious of moments. “NOW! I said tea, which means this information is still hot, and be it gossip or whatever it could still be useful. Or would you whether keep combing through those raggedy ass police reports that have not gotten us anywhere? All in favor of that say I” James turned his head across the room dramatically trying to spot any takers. “How about you Marcello? Or will you calm your ass down and let this HBIC continue?”
“HBIC” Connor muttered and Jazz slapped his arm nonverbally telling him to hush as she knew the longer, they questioned James the more he would drag this dramatic ass scene out. OW Conner mouthed and Jazz shook her head knowing she could hardly bruise this brawn of a man that was her husband.
“Head Bitch in Charge.” James informed him and that’s when Marcello and Connor finally let out a laugh.
“Please continue gracious HBIC” Marcello stated now calmed. He realized he had been holding in that minor outburst for a week but realized that James was like their Brother and only trying to help.
“Thank you, now I got a woman whose hair I do every Tuesday. And you know that all my regular clients are big ballers and shot callers now. But anyways THIS client is a Pharmaceutical C-E-O hunny. Yes, baby she is getting those coin” James snapped
Marcello shot darts at him beginning to become impatient with James and his antics. James rolled his eyes. He could stop his dramatics for a moment, these were his brothers, there were lives on the line. He just loved dragging out a good story. “Okay I quit. But the Bitch is rich and a wine lover. She stays drinking up all my goddamn Champagne. The heffa betta be lucky she tip well cause –“
“JAMES!” Everybody, even William, growing impatient exclaimed.
“Fine! Haters. The point is she was telling me about this new substance they found in a private hospital in the area. She was saying that the substance was found in a couple of nuns that were found poisoned and unconscious on the side of the road.” James paused for dramatic effect and then continued
“Now this substance is unlike anything they have ever seen before and has dangerous properties that caused their victims to fall into a sleep like paralysis of some sort. They are trying to figure out if it’s properties can be used for a greater purpose and if this could be one of the greatest scientific break outs in the century … the only thing is… it was used to Poison these Nuns who they found on the side of the road. These nuns live in a Covenant and they have been waiting for the Nuns to come to because the Sisters at the Covenant claimed that there was a teenage girl that was supposed to be with them and is now missing. She gave me a website that I could go look up the developing story. Now look where they were found Marcello.” James handed him the phone.
Marcello peered into the picture of crime scene by the side of the road where blood was found at the location as well as remnants of the unknown substance.
“Apparently the Nuns were coming home when they were ambushed. The sisters came up out the wooded area in which they live to look for them and they found the car abandoned with blood on the ground.” James explained
Marcello peered at the picture and saw flowers in the corner of the picture. By the wooded area. Flowers that he planted every year in honor of it being the location in which his parent’s car was found. It was found not far from his childhood home. They had barely made it to Gabriella’s recital before they were tossed off the road in a head on collision with a drunk driver.
“Now get this. The lady spilled the tea that the girl they are looking for name is Gabriella. What are the chances that maybe this adopted girl they are raising and who has gone missing right around the time as Rain and that was kidnapped would be anyone else but YOUR Gabriella? I believe that Jessica and Jessie kidnapped that Girl, who may be Gabriella and poisoned them Nuns”
Marcello’s eyes widened as it dawned on him. All the details came together “…What if Gabriella survived and the Nuns at the covenant found her. I just don’t know why they wouldn’t go to the police.”
“I’ve heard about Woodforest Nun’s Marcello. They barely leave their covenant, and they believe in Miracles more than anyone else. Could it be they found her days later? Maybe they took her to the Hospital but thought kayseri escort she was just lost and fell? Maybe they didn’t think to get the police involved” Jazz reasoned still in shock at this tea that could really pull these mysterious pieces together.
“Right and maybe Gabriella didn’t remember what happened. If she did, she would have said something.” Connor added backing Jazz assessments up. He was overwhelmed with excitement. Marcello tried to play it cool because he did not want to hope too much.
“James you are amazing! I could kiss you” Connor joked.
“I’m gay, not blind and desperate. Oh, also petty and not cheap. I would never do Jazz such a huge favor as taking you off her hands for free” James quipped jokingly, and Marcello snickered, and Connor gave James the middle finger.
“We need to get to that Hospital and speak to the Sister’s ourselves” Marcello stood up again ready to head there now if it meant knowing the truth that could lead them to Gabriella and Rain.
“Jazz and I will go with you. William you continue getting and intercepting communication between Jessica and Ellen. I am sure she will be keeping her updated. Maybe she will tell Ellen something about the success of the Kidnapping” Connor stated, and William nodded in agreement and exited on a mission. They had forgiven him, and he would not let them down. “James you mind watching Donny?” Connor asked
“We hate to intrude-” Jazz started but James lifted his hand graciously and waved it in the air as if he were testifying.
“Please baby say no more. Did you not here me say the words Poisoned and kidnapped? I was not going with y’all ANY-WAY. I am the BABYSITTER. Marcello and Conner big asses better get out there and fight the good fight. I’ll be right here.” James stated and Jazz could only shake her head as her, and Connor left out the door with Marcello already in his car and shooting Connor the address. “Y’all got the bar downstairs stocked right?” James called after them
“Yes, and bye James!” Jazz yelled back. She had known he would be watching Real Housewives of Atlanta reruns and sipping HER Champagne until they returned.
RAIN WAS HAPPY TO REGAIN USE OF HER LEGS AGAIN. This was her 5th walk around the unit, and she felt great as the blood flowed through her body. She was tired but recognized it was because she was not alert enough to be in control of all the illness, she sensed being so sensitive to human suffering as a healer.
Now, alert, she could create a spiritual barricade and protect her senses from being overwhelmed. She could also focus on healing herself at a much faster pace. By the time she was on this 5th lap she had nearly healed herself back to full strength. She inhaled as she felt her heart beating strongly again, and her legs filled with power and vigor.
And then instantly they became weak as she saw him rounding the corner. Tears welled in her eyes and she wanted to desperately call out his name but then she turned away and attempted to hurry back to her room. She was scared as she saw the draining look in Marcello’s gray eyes and the black circles underneath.
She could sense his low energy and depressed heart as their spirits were intertwined now. She grew fearful, fearful he would be happy to find her but then he would be upset. Upset at all the pain she caused. She could not face him right now. Little did she know she did not have any choice.
As Marcello could sense her from miles away. His purely human instincts were more in tuned than ever. Not just a military man but as a man in love with her. As they approached the hospital, he felt her aura. He remained silent as he drove closer to her and did not even wait for Connor and Jazz. He made it to the hospital in record time and rushed past the front desk. He followed the silky aura. It was calling out to him and setting a great fire in his loins. He knew she was here, and this feeling would lead him right to her.
He looked up and stared straight at her silky black straight hair flowing like a cascade down her back. Even in her hospital gown accompanied by an IV pole, he could see the slight curves in her body that his hands had traced enough to retrace them now. He could make out every curve and dip. Her skin still glowing.
“Rain turn around baby please. Turn around so I can see that my feelings have not lied to me. That you are here, and I found you.”
Marcello’s wide chest fell and collapsed heavily. She stilled herself as she listened to his words. He did not move. He sensed her fear. He did not know if she was poisoned like the nuns or maybe they had hurt her and left her on the side of the road as well. He did not know what she had gone through. He wanted to make it clear he would respect her space as to not startle her. “Rain. ..please it’s okay… I need to-“
He was speechless as she turned around to face him. Tears pouring down her eyes. She looked so heartbroken. Marcello let the tears roll down his eyes as well. He fell to his knees. As after seeing the pictures of Gabriella and not hearing from Rain for a week he thought she might be dead. He thought that maybe they had killed her to get back at him. He was so relieved. He looked up and saw her standing over him. She crouched down to his level and he embraced her.
