*Selma had been at the family crisis centre all day, and as was often the case found herself finally putting the last touches on the paperwork long after the sun had sunk below the horizon and almost everyone else was gone. The building had that strange ghost like quality that emptiness brought and after a day spent counselling abused wives and hollow eyed sullen child victims her emotions were sapped and worn. Flicking her eyes up to the clock she noticed it was almost 9pm, apparently she'd lost track of time completely. Lights began winking out along the corridor's in the distance, and a few moments later Anne, the grey haired battle scared manager of the centre appeared around the corner.* Selma? Are you still her lovey? Everyone's gone, you got to get yourself home darlin'.

Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 6:54:09 PM)
*The fatigue was clearly written on her face.. More and more time she spent burried in her own work, the less danger she put good people like adam in danger by being around her.. The time on the clock made her yawn as she placed her hand infront of her mouth to stiffle it.. The flickering of the lights reminded her of how they flickered and went out so long ago at her grandmothers house.. It was no suprise in her tired and day mare state that she did not notice the approach of anne when she appeared out of visably nowhere. Her body tenced but for the slightest of moments till she realised who it was, the tension drifted away like a summers breese to be replaced by a warm and compashionate smile* I suppose your right, then again you usualy are.
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:00:16 PM)
*She chuckles a warm rich sound and moves over towards the lightswitch at the corner of the room.* After raising three daughters and four grandaughters I have learnt a bit here and there. Come on, I'll walk you to the door and lock up after you. *Selma had done well today, she knew it, but there was a nagging sensation at the back of her neck that wouldn't quite leave her. A call last night had been disturbing, more disturbing than most because it had been so clearly a cry for help and she couldn't be sure that she'd done everything that he'd needed. A man calling himself simply "Jack" was claiming to have a loaded gun before him ready to pull the trigger, his girlfriend was pregnant apparently, and both he and the woman in question suffered drug addictions. He'd claimed they were both killing the baby before it was already born, the only way to find salvation was to end himself before the baby was dead and he was a murderer. Selma had hoped he would show up here at the centre today, hoped both he and
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:01:38 PM)
the lady in question would come so that she could counsel them face to face before tragedy struck in one way or another. She'd waited and waited, hoping that each new person that came to see her would be "Jack", but the day was over, the lights were going out in the building and he'd never arrived.*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:05:19 PM)
*She raised from her seat.. The thoughts of the man only reminded her of her own mother and whom ever the hell her father was.. She slipped her rosery under her shirt and went to follow anne out.. She could only hope for the best, have faith that there paths would eventualy cross and she could give them the help they needed. She would give anne a hug when she reached the door and lightly rub her back before heading out completely and letting anne lock up.. Her hands reached into her pocket to pull out her car keys*
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:06:46 PM)
*Selma heard the door locking behind her, the parking lot light flickering it's neon dance amongst the near empty parking lot. The sound of a dog barking off into the distance, somewhere blocks away a siren was blaring, while muted television sets seemed to compete with one another for dominance.*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:09:17 PM)
*as it was not the first time she experienced this enviorment it was not as creepy as one might think.. Not to some one accustom to its surroundings.. Though the flicker of the lights had surely caught her attension and she was moving towards her car with her keys in her hand at a steady even pace. the hot muggy weather the humidity hanging in the air like it was going to drowned her in it was the only uncomfortable thing besides being alone with her own thoughts.. *
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:11:25 PM)
Jaaack! *A whiney feminine voice cut through the parking lot as the scuffle of feet came to her attention, a pair of shadowy figures starting around the corner and into the parking lot.* I don't want to be here, I want to go hoooome. My feet are killing me, who gives a fuck what the bitch said?
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:13:25 PM)
*she turned to see the couple coming towards her. Clearly not what she had expected but she was glad to see he at least showed even if he was late and it was closed. Raving mad she put her keys back into her pocket and looked at the two shadowey figures waiting for them to get closer*
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:17:26 PM)
*Moving into the light both are painfully thin, skin sallow, hair, teeth and nails brittle with that malnourished look that spoke of either extreme neglect or self harm. Their clothing tattered and stained, the woman looked at the man with a surly expression seemingly unaware of the wild almost desperate look in his wide glazed eyes. His eyes darting from one end of the parking lot to the other seem to momentarily sweep accross Selma as though not recognising she is there, perhaps she was hidden in the darkness, perhaps he was too far gone to notice exactly that which he was seeking.* We need this. The baby needs this, fuck it Mads we're going to kill it, it will die because of us!
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:23:33 PM)
*She looked at them*Jack it is you.. *She smiled at him, and tried to move slowly and cauciously into his sight.. Hopeing he would notice her in his drugged up state.. She began dialing annes number inside.. *
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:25:58 PM)
(can i make a roll to calm the crack heads?)
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:26:41 PM)
*He turns on Selma in a rush, his eyes going from her to the phone as he shakes his head.* Fuck it, no cops, jesus fucking christ. You tricked me here to call the fuckin' cops. Bitch. *Selma hears the woman laugh a cackling sound of glee at her partners distress.* I told you Jack! Told ya she was just another do gooder, just the same as the others. Guess who's going to jail again. *He spins on his girlfriend and slaps her accross the face, his hand going behind him and into his waistband to pull out a heavy object that looked suspiciously like a gun and point it at Selma.* I SAID NO FUCKING COPS!
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:26:59 PM)
(rp it hon, we don't really need rolls for a scene like this)
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:30:07 PM)
*She looked at him.. seen the distress and the way he acted she just dropped her phone on the ground at the screaming and held her hands up.. She tried to calm him and spoke as convicing as she could in the calmest voice possdible..*no Jack I was not calling the cops, i was calling so i could get the doors open and take you inside.. *she did not seem to join in the crazy ladys amusement. She just wondered if her mother was as cracked in the head as this chick was.*
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:32:56 PM)
Yeah lets all go inside so Jack can whine some more about how he wants to kill himself, blah fuckin' blah. *Selma watches the girl push her hair out of her way, either too high to feel the slap, or so used to it by now that she had become numb.* Lets all watch him get out his gun and fuck around with it knowing that he hasn't got the balls to pull the godamn trigger. *She sneered at him and Selma could see the whites of his eyes almost overtake the iris, so wide were they now. His hand shaking he turns and points the gun at the girl who tormented him.* SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:37:24 PM)
*selma watches him turn the gun on the other woman. She does not stop him from turning the gun on the other woman. The woman in question was no better then her own mother, no better then a more corrupted version of her own grandmother.. It was not until selma though about her own sister that she called out ..*No Jack the baby, the baby is pure, it deserves a chance.. you deserve a chance..
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:39:28 PM)
You think anything that came out of him or me is pure? What the fuck is your problem bitch? *The woman takes a step towards the gun, apparently unafraid of it as her eyes turn to look at Selma.* Who the hell do you think you are? You think you know me? You think you are better than me? That you can judge me?
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:43:22 PM)
*She looked at the woman* all children are pure, there innocent, there helpless.. Currently you are the childs only protection from everything that could cause it harm.. You give the child a chance to be born and your self a chance at redemption.. Do you see nothing beautiful left in the world is everything so dark?
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:45:59 PM)
Can you hear this bullshit Jack? The worlds fuckin' pure? Cause I remember being a kid and there was nothing godamn pure about it. There's going to be nothing pure for this baby, nothing pure for you and nothing pure for me. *The girl continues to rant at him, watching his shoulders slump, the hope slowly leeking out of the man.*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:49:39 PM)
*She responded to the woman* well you obviously think you are the only one who suffered but my mother was a heroine addict, she was a Whore heroine attict she died in a alley from a over dose.. I was the product of some one like you and i might not have been born pure but i have saved many lives cause living how i was raised i knew there was more out there, i never had no one to turn to, so i used my life to be there for others who felt the same way.. you saying your child never has a chance before its even taken its first breath
Dusk (May 31, 2011 7:51:21 PM)
*The pregnant woman moves fast, too fast for the drug conflicted man to react to as she grabs the gun from his hand and points it at Selma.* You think you're so much fuckin' better than me is that it? You respect him because he is soft dicked bastard who walks around with a gun too fuckin' afraid to pull the trigger. Well bitch, look who's holding the gun now?
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 7:57:12 PM)
*She looked at the woman holding the gun at her.. Selma had seen angels and demons, she spent her life whipped by a phsyco with a bible in one hand and a switch in the other. The look on her face was not even one of fear at this point, but of saddness that this female was so warped and full of hatred.. She thought of her sister, what her sister might have been if she had not been in her life.. But her sister was grown she looked at the womans belly then slowly lifted her head to look into the womans eyes.. *I am sorry that you are full of such pain and hatred that your torment has brought you to this point. That he still has hope for himself for his child, that he wants something better then the life he is leading for his own baby upsets you so much, because you feel no one ever felt that way about you.. I am sorry you think he is less of a man for not pulling the trigger, when it is you whom are less of a human being to think pulling the trigger and killing a innocent person would make you anything but void

redemption
Dusk (May 31, 2011 8:01:53 PM)
You think you're so much fucking better than all of us. *She simply shakes her head, her sneer one of loathing and utter despite as a crack sounds in the air and Selma feels red hot pain lancing through her stomach. Somehow the pavement of the parking lot was underneath her, which felt momentarily strange since she didn't remember falling. Steps sounded from somewhere, a mans strangled scream as the wretched snearing face of the woman loomed over Selma and she felt warm sticky fluid start to pool through her clothing.* You're just another dumb dead bitch. *She saw the woman spit down upon her, saw her raise the gun to her own temple, the self loathing and self destructiveness of the girl finally finding it's home.* But what the fuck, so am I.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 8:05:45 PM)
*Selmas didnt realise what had happened in that flash.. feeling the warm wetness at her belly her hand covered in the crimson fluid to raise up in a silent plea for the woman not to kill herself.. not to kill the child.. The fear of the unborns death seemed to surge through her till she could no longer hold her hand up and it fell beside her against the pavement her head rolling to the side to stare at the womans filthy feet.. *
Dusk (May 31, 2011 8:08:09 PM)
*She felt herself becoming cold, the word around her starting to dim. She could only vaguely see the shape of the woman now, the man completely lost and beyond her vision. She saw the girl turn away, heard her voice faintly as though from very far away.* You want to know why this baby has no hope? Cause none of us fucking do. *With that another shot sounds out and she feels the womans body collapse over her, hears something she can't quite place as the world slowly, but surely begins slipping away from her view, fading out of existence.*
Dusk (May 31, 2011 8:09:27 PM)
*Akeso smiles to herself, a wickedly delightful expression as the bickering of the demons around her finally explodes into confrontation. She grins silently as they leave the crack and begin fighting amongst herself, that small tiny little opening finally clear and free, beckoning to her and this, here and now was her chance.*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 8:13:56 PM)
*Akeso slipped through the crack as easy as cold winter air slips under the door jam.. She erupted into the raging storm on the other side as her heavenly form swam through the tortured screams and tormented echoes the pain she felt as the storm seemed to tear at her as if it had some hope of pulling her back.. She rocketed foward with more then determinaiton, the powers once awarded to her where but a shallow shadow of there true potensial.. Nothing was quite what is once was..*
Dusk (May 31, 2011 8:17:03 PM)
*Pushing towards earth she felt that moment of exultation, of victory. Eons had passed as she had been trapped and suddenly now she was free! Finally she was set loose, and the earth lay ripe and beckoning below her, waiting for her fury, her anger, her wrath and torment to be released from it. She wanted to throw her head back and scream, laugh with the overwhelming sense of pure unfettered freedom. It was then that she felt it, that tug of the abyss, pulling her back as though the elastic had been tightened too far and any moment now it would snap back and she would be trapped once again. Looking out desperately to the earth of her creation, a single light beckoned to her, caught her attention, the light of a soul preparing to leave it's body, a body that lay bleeding on the floor of parking lot in a city named New Orleans.*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 8:19:49 PM)
*She pushed herself foward towards the dimming light.. She dove downward towards the flickering light.. her eyes looking for that soul.. She slipped through the air and moved with the beating of her wings, she would not be pulled back.. nooo it was tooo close..*
Dusk (May 31, 2011 8:21:28 PM)
*Plunging towards the light Akeso threw herself towards the body, feeling it surround her, anchor her, hold her firmly rooted to this world. Her eyes fluttering open she scented the air, she tasted the world, she felt the rough pavement behind her, she saw the stars above her, felt the polution eeking into her skin and for the first time in an eternity she actually -felt- something.*
Dusk (May 31, 2011 8:23:40 PM)
*The spirit of Selma hovered momentarily in the air, she looked down upon the blood strewed scene before her, watched her body open it's eyes and in that moment knew that she was dead. In that moment knew that there was no god to forgive her, no angels to redeem her, no devils to punish her... she knew it had all from the first been a lie, been a betrayal and then she was gone.*

Dusk (May 31, 2011 8:32:26 PM)
*Akeso sits up, the wound that had killed Selma healing as she moves to push the dead pregnant woman off her. Somewhere in the background a mans sobs catch her attention, a man sobbing, Selma remembered something about that. His name was... Jack. Jack and she had wanted to help him. She looks down to the dead woman beside her, blood and gore matting her hair, the sneer finally gone from her face.* (make a percept + medicine roll for me hon. At the moment, the memories of Selma are slowly filtering into Akeso as the two begin to merge)

Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 8:48:27 PM)
Stefan pulled into the parking lot, the twin shafts of silvery light fell across the only car parked there. A cautious man, he did not step out immediately. He spoke into his radio, reporting his arrival. Requesting an ID on the license plate of the car parked in the lot. When he realized the figure beneath the streetlight was bent over another person, He added that an ambulance would be needed. Then stepped from the car. Tall, skinny, and quite forgettable.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 8:48:54 PM)

While this is happening, he pulls on a set of latex gloves, the fate of the child was of the most immediate importance and he let Selma do her work, he tucks his maglite beneath his arm. A dead junkie would not have much to tell him, he kept his eye on the sobbing man for the moment.

*She pulled her shirt off herself.. Wrapping the child in the shirt and severing that tainted ambiblical cord.. She had on a bra on at least.. though her own back was riddled with massive scars up and down it.. Slowly she rocked the baby to her on her knees by the dead mother.. her eyes drifted to the other demon for the first time..*
Dusk (May 31, 2011 9:06:51 PM)
*Jack finally looks up at the sound, the tears halting at the sound of his sons cries. An almost reverant expression on his face he slowly stands and makes his way over to the woman who he saw killed. The woman who had saved the life of his son and now crouched holding the infant in her arms. He seems unaware of Stefan, that magic of birth and life completely compelling his senses.*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:08:56 PM)
*She made a *shhhhhhh shhhhhh.. *sound to the child as she rocked it in her arms against herself..* shhhh dun you cry lil man.. dun cry.. *Her voice soothing and gentle with all the charisma her host had coupled with her own..*Such a blessing.. such a sweet little blessing..*Her eyes looked for the signs of ambulance to arrive.. her hands covered in blood..*
Dusk (May 31, 2011 9:10:16 PM)
Can I hold him please. *Jack looks to Selma, his eyes pleading, the torment momentarily gone from his face.* They'll take me to jail, they won't let me keep him... but just once, can I hold him?

"He won't be going anyplace for a minute.." this said under his breath, before he crouched before the dead woman, and shined his light here and there, seeing what he can see for himself. "Quite a nice surgery job given the circumstances, Miss. Mind telling me what happened?"
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:12:17 PM)
Fishes up the gun with the end of his pen and slips it into a plastic bag.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:12:45 PM)
*She looked at the man.. Then she passed the child to its father.. Her eyes turned to the other demon* yes i work here at the suicide clinic.. The father jack ..*She said as she handed the small bundled boy to his father and slipped up onto her feet* had called for help he wanted to get his girl friend help, they where in a bad situation and she was clearly trying to kill her child.. he finaly got her here so that they could seek help for the sake of there child..

((Okay on an OOC note as you both decide what to do. I am going to remind everyone on demon venue policy regarding npc children. Demon players man not run npc children under any circumstances. You cannot adopt, foster, or in any way post for npc children. Only Demon ST's may.))
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:13:14 PM)
and she had a gun and blew her head off saying her child was damned because she was damned
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:13:33 PM)
(I have no intention of doing anything of the sort;p)
Dusk (May 31, 2011 9:13:43 PM)
(just letting you both know :) )
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:14:03 PM)
(umm selma is going to try to get the father in a good home and help him through parenting classes and shit through the system if he is willing if not she will convince him to put it up for adoption)
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:14:13 PM)
"Have you met the victim previously, Miss..?" He drew out the question, hoping she would fill in the blank.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:14:22 PM)
(she does not plan on keeping it just seeing that its cared for by the best care giver)
Dusk (May 31, 2011 9:14:36 PM)
(Alright on that note I am going to hand this scene over to Serene Princess :) Thanks for playing!)
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:14:40 PM)
Miss Nelson and this is anonomous
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:14:54 PM)

Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:15:29 PM)
We never meet them till they come in, and as you can see they showed up after hours
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:16:08 PM)
"Won't be when her name is in the papers..but I get your point." He looks to the father. "Tell me what has led to this. Begin with your name. If I feel you are lying or holding anything back, then I will be forced to do my job properly."
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:16:42 PM)
And when we do meet them there is that whole confidensiality thing.. *When he turned his attension to the man she stopped him* wait a moment
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:17:25 PM)
This man just witnessed his girl friend shoot herself in the head and me have to slice her belly open to save the life of his child, he is clearly in shock and will need some time to even make sence of what happened.
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:17:30 PM)
Jack carefully cradles the bundle in his arms, slowly sinking onto his knees in the parking lot, heedless of the glass shards and rocks that litter the ground. A stunned smile lifts the corners of his mouth as he lightly drags a grimey finger down the baby's cheek, laughing when it blinks blearily up at the strange man. Lifting his eyes to the obvious officer, fear flashes across his face and he subconsciously tightens his arms around the infant. "I... I'm Jack. James MacDonald, but everyone calls me Jack."
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:18:44 PM)
*she moved towards jack and rested a reassuring hand on his shoulder.. trying to ease his worry and then she looked at the officer* please can these questions wait?
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:20:30 PM)
He looks over at the woman, lightly shifting the baby in his arms, then looking down into his son's face when the infant lets out another squall, the cries taking on a slightly different tone.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:20:31 PM)
*she slipped up onto her feet.. And tried to get jack to get up as well* Listen where is that medical crew anyway or your back up? *As she looked around* cause if there is none comming would it be to much to ask, to take them inside and get them cleaned up in a more comfortable inviorment instead of kneeling on glass infront of a corpse?
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:21:04 PM)
Writes down the name. "He'll have to be taken in." He says this firmly. "I'll have a uniformed officer escort the ambulance when it arrives. I'm not quite enough of a bastard to not give him some time with his child. Jack..if you make me have to find you, I'll see to it that you won't get to see your boy again. Count on that." With that siad, he turns his attention back to the dead woman. "They are on their way, Miss Nelson. Just relax."
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:21:12 PM)
*she moved towards the baby and said*Jack let me see the baby i got to make sure it is okay..
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:23:14 PM)
At her words, red lights start to flash faintly in the distance, as well as the wail of a siren, steadily getting closer. Jack turns to Selma and gently hands the child over, regret written all over his features before he turns to the officer. "I don't know who you are, but I'll give you everything I know, from my first memory until this exact moment. Just, please. I only want to be with my son. I don't want to be a bad man anymore..." He finally cracks completely and covers his face with his hands, bowing over and sobbing brokenly.
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:24:58 PM)
It likely seemed cold, but he ignored the man's pleading for the moment. Instead, he was investigating the corpse, he lifted her hand to smell the fingers of the gun hand to make certain she had actually done the shooting herself, before he began to check her pockets carefully to avoid getting any jabs from needles or worse.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:25:15 PM)
*She held the child in her arms and whispered to jack..* shhhh, calm down, I am going to get you a lawyer jack.. Don't you worry im gonna help you become that better man, your son needs you, and if i can help you and your son i will..
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:26:12 PM)
(May I make an investigation check for the scene?)
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:26:34 PM)
((go for it... int +investigation))

(this is gonna be a screwed up crime scene when they find my chrs blood yet my chr has no visable wounds)
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:28:36 PM)
You're both users, are you Jack? *as he held up a bag of powder in the beam of his headlights before he opened it to take a small taste of the contents*
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:28:39 PM)
He seems to hear her, but his tears don't stop. "I... I j-j-just want to b-be a good f-fa-father for him. Please, help me." He uncovers his face and fists his hands in Selma's bloody shirt as the ambulance pulls into the parking lot. "Please, dear god, help me!"
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:30:11 PM)
*She whispered to jack*I will help you, i told you i would before and i will help, we will get you help.. I have friends.. *As she touched his hand with her free hand*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:30:18 PM)
(i got a question st)
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:30:48 PM)
"I didn't want to be. Mads, she was a user when we met. She... she just did it every once in a while, but... Things go really bad with the flooding and I lost my job and she got pregnant, and we couldn't find work, but she started dealing and then things got out of hand and I wanted to quit, that's why I came here tonight, to get clean and deargod, I don't wanna do this anymore!" He lets go of Selma's shirt and slumps to the ground, starting to hyperventilate.
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:33:08 PM)
The ambulance doors swing open before it comes to a full stop, and two guys in blue jumpsuits hit the ground running, with totes in their hands as they jog over to the scene, letting the driver park the ambulance. One of them skids to a stop on his knees beside the woman on the ground and starts checking her for vitals before turning to look at the others. When he spots the blood on Selma's shirt, his eyes widen in shock. "What tha.... How are you still up?"
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:33:27 PM)
Relax, Jack..*he put the dead woman's belongings into more plastic bags produced from his back pocket, then stepped over to the man* You need to be strong right now, your boy needs you to be strong. Now, I am going to let you ride with the baby to the hospital. I will follow along, once things are settled, you and I will talk. For now, I need you to stand up and put your hands on the roof of the car. I can't have you taking narcotics along. You are not being charged with anything right now, and if you cooperate, I will do my best to keep it that way. You understand?
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:35:05 PM)
This young lady is a hero. She performed an emergency c-section while you lot were driving here and the baby would be dead if she hadn't. *he said this to the EMT, turning his piercing gaze toward him, there was something about his voice that captivated and drew attention*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:35:06 PM)
*Selma was holding his hand squeesing it* Jack has been trying to kick his habbit, and from what his girl frind said it was his changing and refuseing to do drugs with her, his constant nagging that he would not join her and begging her to not do it for the sake of there child that drove her to this
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:35:59 PM)
she was trying to explain the child was nothing good, and that nothing good would come of it, when i tried to calm the woman down she blew her head off.. you can test his blood i bet you find no drugs in it
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:37:01 PM)
He is not under arrest yet, Miss Nelson..breathe..I'm one of the good guys, hm?
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:38:17 PM)
The man lifts his eyes back up to Stefan, the haze covering the crystal blues having been lifted. His skin looks healthy and pink, and even his teeth have somehow regrown from the rotted and splintered stubs they used to be. He slowly lifts himself to his feet, staring down at his hands before turning to Selma in awe. "What... what have you done to me?" He turns to Stefan and numbly follows the man over to the car, following his instructions in a shocked daze. The muscles in his arms seem to say less "druggie" and more "handy man". He nods at Selma's words. "Yeah... I wanted to quit... " The paramedic just looked at Selma and shrugged, obviously figuring that the blood on her shirt was from the emergancy surgery. They gather their stuff back up and call back to the guy still at the ambulance, telling him that she's DOA.
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:39:47 PM)
*searches Jack while the EMT's do their thing*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:40:58 PM)
*She looked at Jack a nod of her head as she held the baby.. She had all but ignored the paramedics till she seen how relaxed jack had become and how he had a feeling of control back in him.. seeing the change in his appearence and health and feeling completely drained herself at this point.. She waited for the ambulance people to take jack and the baby into the ambulance..*
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:43:10 PM)
The younger of the two paramedics walks over to Selma and gingerly takes the baby from her before running back over to the back of the ambulance and climbing back into it, calling over his shoulder, "Whomever's riding better make up their minds and quick. Once we get the woman in here, we're gone. Gotta make sure this little guy is taken care of." With that, he vanishes into the light back of the ambulance, but the shadows from the inside are thrown on the pavement, revealing movement inside.
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:43:48 PM)
*taps the ID he got on James' shoulder* You want to do right, now is the start. I will see you at the hospital. Don't make me come looking.
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:43:58 PM)
*keeps the ID for now*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:45:18 PM)
*she would help jack to the ambulance.. And she would climb in with the man.. she was extremly exhausted but she was not about to leave him alone just yet.. some one had to be this mans voice..*
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:45:25 PM)
Jack nods hastily, then turns around and looks at the officer. "C-can I go? I mean, to the-to the ambulance?" He gestures to it with his thumb jerked over his shoulder, fairly vibrating with the urge to get back to his child.
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:45:32 PM)
Go on.
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:46:28 PM)
*once they are in the ambulance, Stefan waited for the coroner to come take the body*
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:46:55 PM)
(so shall i blue book the rest princess?)
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:48:51 PM)
He smiles gratefully and races over to the ambulance, crawling into the back with Selma. Selma, when she gets to the ambulance, sees that the paramedic has unwrapped the baby and clamped off the umbilical cord, having already cut the excess off and put it in a baggie. Once Jack was into the ambulance, the doors would slam shut and they would race off to the hospital. Shortly afterwards, the coroner would show up and take away the body of the dead woman. ((Hang on, got some more stuff to go over with you and dealing with Jack... Stefan, you'll need to meet with your lieutenant sometime in the next day or so *FPM me with a time that's good for you* to discuss that file... :) Do you have any other questions for me before I let you run free?))
Stefan Belgarde (May 31, 2011 9:49:46 PM)
(before 3pm tomorrow would be best for me, I have to attend a funeral at 3)
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:50:40 PM)
((i'll be on pretty much all day, cuz i got a funeral to run *grin*... so when you get on, snag me and we'll talk, ok?))
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:51:07 PM)

Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 9:55:41 PM)
During the ride, the paramedic is intently focused on the child. Jack watches for a long while, then turns to Selma and leans close to her, to whisper for her ears only. "You did something, back there... You cured me... How?" Leaning back, he blinks bright blue eyes at her, a strange expression in them.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 9:59:15 PM)
*she whispered to him as she leaned in close* People can be redeemed if they seek help, one should offer it.. *She lightly touched his hand* everyone needs a guardian angel, and some times.. *She looked at the child then back at jack whispering in his ear* god hears the prayers of those who think they are unworthy of a miracle and he answers them and gives them a second chance.. he did that for me so that one day i could do this for you and your boy..
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 10:01:56 PM)
He starts to cry again, silent tears rolling down his cheeks as he gazes at her with a look of sheer adoration mingled with a tinge of fear of the unknown. "How can I ever repay you? You have saved my life, and that of my son. Please... I'll do anything... anything except go back to what I was. I won't ever do that..." He turns to gaze on his child, a small smile on his face when he hears the rather healthy lungs on the infant, then returns his gace to Selma.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 10:03:26 PM)
*She whispered to him* have faith in me jack, be devoted to your boy and let me help you turn your life around in exchange for having faith in me that i can guide you to greatness.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 10:05:14 PM)
(for the record im not gonna npc him but i will be willing to blue book helping him as my npc thrall helping him get in school helping him get funding and child care helping him do what he needs to turn his life around for him and his child in exchange for his faith)
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 10:05:38 PM)
He nods slowly. "You were right... on the phone, I mean. You said you could help me, you could save me." He smiles and gathers one of her hands into both of his, holding them tightly. "I promise. Anything you need of me, anything you want of me, all you have to do is tell me and I will do it for you." With her hand still in both of his, he turns, a peaceful expression on his face as he sits, watching the infant until they get to the hospital.
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 10:06:03 PM)
(i can see her getting him into counciling people like him or if his record is decent get him into social services job or something so he can help people?)
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 10:07:05 PM)
((No need for you to NPC him, but once you get the 3xp, you'll be able to add him as your NPC thrall on your sheet. Just bluebook all of this and, when you have the xp built up, Dusk will add it to your sheet. If you want, I'll go ahead and draw up his sheet and drop it on your BB thread sometime between now and tomorrow morning, so if he ever needs to go with you anywhere, you'll have his stats for a reference... ok?))
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 10:07:36 PM)
*she smiled as he seemed to at peace and he had accepted her offer.. the peaceful expression on his face after the deal was sealed made her feel all the more better about it.. *(yes would be awesome and thank you!)
Selma Nelson (May 31, 2011 10:09:03 PM)
(will i need to even get him a lawyer since he will show up clean of drugs ? since his blood will have no drugs in them?)
Jack the Junkie (May 31, 2011 10:10:14 PM)
((On a side note, when you guys get to the hospital, the baby will be hauled away for a quick checkup, then will be returned to Jack so Jack can feed him the first time... and I'll add the baby's name onto Jack's sheet for you, too. As far as that goes, when the tests come back that he's completely clean, he'll be cleared of all charges and, since it was obviously a suicide on behalf of Mads, they can't prosecute her for it. So he's in the clear, and so are you. :) ))
