Chapter 1

Three men dressed in black, wearing full-face ski masks, walk along the exterior wall of the hospital. They slowly walk around to the rear of the building to the loading dock. They have inside information that those doors to the hospital are always unlocked. Two men wait outside, while one man entered the hospital carrying a can of paint. He knew exactly where the camera is, so he walked up to the lens and spray painted it. A faint whistle signals the two men waiting outside to enter the hospital.

They maneuver through the hospital, taking the safest route, and painting the camera lens when necessary. They use the escalator to get to the second floor. They follow the directions they were given to the Critical Care Unit. Other hospitals refer to this unit as Intensive Care Unit, but this hospital is different. Regardless of the name of the unit, all of the patients in critical condition are on this unit.

The CCU is a secured unit with 19 beds. There is a keypad and a telephone near the entrance door. Employees use the keypad, while visitors use the phone to gain access. Getting in the unit is the hard part, leaving the unit is easy; all that is necessary is for a person to push the handle on the door. The men have the code. They push the numbers on the number pad, the door buzzes and they enter the unit.

The unit is designed like a horseshoe. One man searches the rooms on one leg, while another man searches the other leg of the horseshoe design. The remaining man contains the nurses, and makes sure that no one calls security or the police. The search for a particular patient ends. Three gunshots disrupt the silence of the unit. Two men ran to the front of the unit, where the third man joined them. They push the exit door and leave the unit. They know that the nurses are calling the police and security, so they have to escape fast. They ran through the second level, down the escalator, and back the way the way they came, towards the loading dock door.

They ran out of the hospital before the police showed up. They took off their black clothes and facemasks and dispose of their clothing in several dumpsters throughout the city.

Three days later, all the people involved commemorated their triumph with a Red Cross tattoo on their wrist.

Chapter 2

Music can be heard from a distance and it gets louder as the vehicle gets closer to Yali’s house. Pancho is driving, while his brother, Big Loco and his girlfriend, Wicked Doll, are in the backseat. The low rider pulls up in front of Yali’s house. Pancho flips a switch, and the hydraulics lower the vehicle, he turns the car off and the beats disappear.

Her pops is old school, I have to meet him. Pancho says as he gets out of the low rider.

I hope she’s worth it. Big Loco says with a smile.

Pancho leans down and looks at Big Loco in the backseat.

Pancho raises his eyebrows and smiles, She is!

Pancho shuts the driver’s door and walks up to Yali’s front door. He knocks on the door with authority. Yali’s brother, whose nickname is Geek, because he’s a stereotypical geek, opens the door.

Sup? Pancho asks.

C’mon in. Geek steps aside, allowing Pancho to enter through the front door. Pancho enters the house. He is physically larger than Geek. Geek turns towards the staircase leading
