Realistic or Modern Put It Into Speed Drive

[decadent-rider]

He smiled and watched her “Good evening you mean.” He mumbled. “You only slept for a couple hours.” He told her. “You wanna come up to the club with me?”

She nodded. “He wants me to stay with him. I want to as well.” She smiled a little. “And to think when I first started the job I was concerned about if he was a creep.” She laughed some. “How’s uh… how’s Wendy getting on?” She muttered, rolling her eyes a little as she saw the woman rub eddies arm as she walked past. Carmen wasn’t one but concerned about Eddie pursuing her but it was driving her mad that wendy continued to push.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned some and gave a small nod "Oh right.." she mumbled before shaking her head some "I don't think thats a good idea....I don't want to make anyone mad for being there." She murmured "Plus I'll probably get tired again and I don't want to burden you."

Jess rolled her eyes at Wendy and sighed heavily "She's an annoyance. Eddie is a good sport though, almost too much of one." She muttered

 

[decadent-rider]

She nodded a little and sighed. “It’s not Ed I’m worried about.” She muttered. “It’s her if she continues to overstep. I got patience Jess but even mine runs out.” She muttered. “I better get home and get some emails done. I applied to that business course I told you about. I’m hoping they’ve replied.” She smiked. “I’ll see you tomorrow. Love you.” She told her, heading down to Eddie at the other end. “Hey I’m going home. Call me when you’re ready for me to come pick you up.” She smiked, leaning across and pecking his cheek before heading out.

He frowned. “Only if you’re sure. I shouldn’t be too long. We just got a couple bits to discuss about what happened yesterday.” He told her. “Call if you need anything okay?” He smiled.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie smiled happily at her and gave a salute before kissing her gently "I'll see you later beautiful." He said sweetly before letting her go off while he went to the back to file away some paperwork.

Max gave a small smile and nodded softly "I'm gonna take a hot shower real quick,but I promise to call if I need anything." She said sweetly before kissing his cheek and letting him go off.

 

[decadent-rider]

He smiled as he watched her go, shaking his head a little before heading out, getting to the club in good time and sighed a little. Everybody was there which meant Alex was taking this seriously. They’d enjoyed a long time of peace and quiet but it seemed that was about to end.

Wendy worked her shift and finally got to closing, frowning when Jess told her they could just leave and Eddie would lock up. “Oh. Alright. I was gonna offer him a lift home.” She sighed a little, heading through to the back to collect her bag. “Hey Edward, Jess said we’re leaving. If you want a lift though I can stick around.” She smiled at him.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max was asleep on the couch by the time he got back. She woke up when she heard the door close and gave a small frown "Hey...sorry I fell asleep, didn't mean to." She murmured quietly "Everything go okay?"

Eddie shook his head giving her a small smile "No thats alright, thank you for the offer though." He said trying to remain friendly before going to the back to lock up the safe. When he came back he frowned hearing the bell on the door ring "Hey sorry man you just missed last call, we're closed for the night." He explained seeing a few guys come through.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon trudged in quietly, frowning a little when she stirred. “Hey, no you’re all good sweetheart. I was trying to be quiet. Let’s uh… let’s get you to bed. Couch is a no no for your back these days.” He smiled a little, helping her up and ignoring her question.

Carmen glanced at the clock once she closed her computer and sighed seeing it was now 2 in the morning and she got up to get the keys and head out. It wouldn’t be the first and most likely not the last time Eddie got so focused on whatever task he was doing that he lost track of time but she didn’t mind at all, sending him a text that she would be there in five minutes.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small smile and nodded moving up to her room with him "I won't ask again, but whatever it is you guys decided....please be careful." She said softly before kissing him gently "You can join me if you want."

Eddie was laying on the bar floor holding his side and groaning trying to stop the bleeding. He had tried to get to his phone but he was stuck at this point. He panted softly starting to get paler as he continued to loose blood. He looked over at the door when he heard the bell go trying to call out but all he was able to do was groan.

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head. “No decision has been made sweetheart. It’s just… gonna be a long week.” He sighed, stripping down to his boxers and waited til she was comfy before getting into bed with her, just holding her, one hand around her bump. “I just want you and our little one safe.”

Carmen walked in smiling a little “Eddie?! Babe do you have any idea what time it is?” She called, closing the door behind her before turning towards the bar and froze for half a second. “Oh my god. Shit. Shit shit. Okay um… hold on, just hold on.” She muttered quickly, grabbing her phone and calling for an ambulance while she grabbed one of the clean dishcloths from the pile, running it under the tap for a moment then took it to him and swapped his hands for the damp cloth, pressing it tightly against the deep gash to the side of his chest. “I need an ambulance. My boyfriends been stabbed I think.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a soft smile and nodded softly "We'll be okay handsome." She murmured before snuggling into him and drifting off to sleep.

The EMTs got there around 10 minutes later quickly taking over from Carmen "Sir can you tell me your name?" They asked Eddie but frowned when he couldn't form a coherant sentance "Ma'am do you know his name?"

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen frowned, still in shock a little. “Eddie. Eddie Munson. He’s 35.” She told them quickly, shaking a little as she watched them getting ready to move him but when she went to follow she got stopped and immediately went to grab her keys but they weren’t where she thought she’d put them. And neither was her phone.

He hummed quietly, falling asleep and holding onto her as tightly as he could without squishing her, a lot more relaxed than he had been earlier at the very least.

 

[Forever6A7X]

The EMTs got him prepped to go but one stopped her from joining "I'm sorry ma'am I can't let you back here. You can follow us though, we'll be going to county memorial." He explained before they went off.

Max woke up the next morning quickly rushing to the bathroom to get her morning sickness out of the way. She pressed her face to the porcelain bowl to cool herself down panting softly.

 

[decadent-rider]

she had searched for ten minutes before seeing how badly she had tracked eddies blood all over the bar and soon went to get a mop and bucket, starting to clean everything up and never noticing it starting to get light, not even looking up when the front door opened at 10:30 and Charlie walked in, only stopping when he put his hand on the mop and stopped her himself. “Charlie… i… he… so much blood.”

Jon groaned a little as he woke up to the noise of her being sick, taking a few painkillers and then getting up to go help her out as much as he could. “You want some water?” He asked her quietly, rubbing her back in soothing circles and tying her hair back for her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Charlie came in around 10:30 in the morning frowning when he noticed the front door unlocked. He rushed in and went wide eyed seeing blood soaked rags and Carmen mopping the already cleaned floor. He called to her but she didn't respond. Soon enough he was taking the mop from her hands "Carmen what happened?"

Max gave a small nod and smiled softly "Yes please, I'm sorry I woke you.." she whispered as she closed her eyes and got her breathing under control.

 

[decadent-rider]

He shook his head and smiled. “Already awake sweetheart.” He mumbled, getting up and going to get her some water and a cool flannel, gently pressing it to the back of her neck to help her cool down.

She frowned and shook her head. “I don’t know… I came to get him cause it was late and the door was open. He was… there was so much blood.” She mumbled, still seeing the way he was propped up at the bar and how his hands were shaking. “They took him to the hospital but I couldn’t find my keys… or my phone.” She told him. In her panic and shock she hadn’t even thought about using the landline in the office to call for help.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly at him and soon got up to get cleaned up. She watched him some and gave a small frown "You okay babe? You look a little out of it. Hows your pain doing?" She asked softly

Charlie frowned deeply and gave a small nod helping her to sit down "Honey take deep breaths okay? They're on the bar, its okay." He said softly trying to calm her down "Here give me just a few minutes alright? I'll take you up there."

 

[decadent-rider]

He glanced over at her and shook his head. “I’m fine sweetheart. Just tired.” He told her gently when in reality he’d taken more than a couple extra painkillers already that morning. He’d asked them to not give him strong stuff. It was even on his records but they’d done it anyway and now he was heading down a path that he had been avoiding for the last ten years.

She just nodded and fiddled with her hands until Charlie brought her one of eddies T-shirts from his locker, changing out of her bloodied pyjama top and into his. “They said county memorial I think.” She told him quietly

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned softly but gave a small nod "Alright then. I'm gonna make us some food okay? You want anything specific?" She asked smiling at him.

Charlie got her one of Eddie's shirts before giving a nod "Okay lets go, I'll keep your car here." He murmured before taking her hands gently leading her out "Its gonna be okay Carmen."

 

[decadent-rider]

She just nodded and headed out, scared to death that it was her fault. She already assumed that it was her ex that had done this to him having no idea about the other club.

Jon shook his head, going to take a shower and get dressed.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Charlie stayed quiet on their ride over but once they were in the hospital he asked the nurses where Eddie might be. He let out a sigh of relief when they didn't say ICU and quickly led Carmen to the room he was in.

Eddie layed in his room flipping aimlessly through channels barely able to keep his eyes open. He was scared to sleep though, and didn't want to until Carmen was there with him.

Max gave a soft smile when she saw Jon come down from his shower "So we got toaster waffles and cereal. Plus your coffee." She told him as she ate quietly.

 

[decadent-rider]

She got through to the room they had him in and went straight through, going over and hugging him tightly. “Don’t you ever do that again.” She told him, swallowing back tears.

He nodded, taking a seat and digging in to breakfast, relaxing in the silence for a little while until he was about to ask max a question but as he opened his mouth his phone started ringing. “It’s drew. Hang on.” He mumbled, picking it up. “Hey, you need me to come back in this morning?” He asked

 

[Forever6A7X]

Eddie groaned and hugged her the best he could "Careful Doll." He said softly before giving her a soft smile "I'm alright, they got me patched up real good." He assured her trying to keep himself calm and not think about the threat that those men had given him.

Drew frowned some and gave a nod "Yeah we need to have another discussion about this gang. Apparently they were seen in our neck of the woods last night." He muttered while pinching the bridge of his nose.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jeff sighed a little but nodded. “Any chance you can crack on without me til this afternoon? I promised max we’d get baby shopping done today.” He told him, hearing Jess rushing around on the other end in the background and sounding worried while he reached over, giving maxs leg a gently squeeze.

She frowned but nodded, sitting down and taking his hand gently. “I couldn’t find my keys or my phone and I was in panic mode. I’m sorry it took me so long to get here.” She told him quietly. “What happened Ed?”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Drew frowned deeply but gave a heavy sigh "Can you give us 30 minutes for church? Jon we think they hit Ed...Charlie just called Jess to say the bar is closed for now." He explained quietly before trying to get Jess calmed "All I'm asking is 30.minutes alright?" He said before hanging up.

Eddie shook his head softly "Don't worry about it beautiful. I didn't see who it was...some guys...they wore masks." He muttered quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned but nodded, taking a hair tie from her wrist and carefully had him lean forward for a moment so she could tie his hair back for him, “Charlie is gonna look at the tapes today… if you’re tired you should sleep puppy.” She told him gently, a lot calmer now she saw that he was awake and talking.

He nodded and tensed a little. “Fuck. Alright. We’ll head on over in a bit. Give me a chance to run home and get clean clothes. I’m not moving so fast right now but I’ll get started heading over.” He promised, getting up carefully and hung up. “Munson was targeted by these idiots we think. Come on, they need me for church but then we can go get the baby shopping done.” He told her, reaching for her hand to help her up.
