“Well you were in the warehouse district and that’s where we store excess materials, test structural pieces and
make our large 3D models. Why were you there?” He asks quietly.
“Someone paid a guy kidnapand - and kill my baby.” | begin sobbing uncontrollably, holding my hands over
my face. | feel arms around my shoulders.
“I'm so sorry, Claire. We'll find out whoever did this. | promise.” Jordan heldas | sobbed. Moments later, the
doctor comes in and | try to compose myself.
“Hello Claire, I've been tending to you since you arrived. | have snews to share with you if you're ready.” He
waits for my response and | nod slowly as | stare down at the blanket.
“Okay, we can stop at any tif you need too. You suffered a laceration to your temple, we were able to
surgically glue it together for you but you do have a mild concussion, meaning you should be very careful for the
new few days - headaches are normal during this time. You have multiple scrapes and bruises on your wrists,
elbows, arms, ribs and knees but those are superficial and should recover in about 1-2 weeks. And lastly, I'm
sorry to have to tell you this - Claire, you suffered a miscarriage. The baby suffered an amniotic abruption due to
the impact of your fall we could've save him.”
