“ Hello? Aunt Sylvia?”, Leo answered her phone shortly after she heard her Flobots ringtone going off and she looked at it to see her aunt’s caller ID on the screen. She began to get an almost instant feeling that something was wrong due to the fact that her aunt rarely ever called her specifically unless if it was something important.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl3RxnmBkq
“ Leo, get your sister Amanda and the others and head up to the hospital now! Your friend Leonard was just attacked!”, Sylvia screamed through the other end at her niece.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K5tTkV0Ye
“ What?! Leonard was what?!”, Leo asked in concern as her eyes went wide.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s4enUaPk7
“ I said he was attacked! Two unidentified Hispanic men jumped him out of nowhere and stole his car as he was driving home from picking up something at Caltech! His nose is broken, his glasses are broken, and he’s got a gunshot wound to his hip! He also said that they tried to choke him before they took off in his car after they shoved him out into the middle of the road! I found him like that almost immediately as I was walking outside through a hotel parking lot at the hotel that Jasper and I were staying at here in Pasadena to get something out of my limo! He said that apparently Ivas and Twister set him up by hiring these two other idiots to distract the police with another crime so that they could go bust them out of jail again!”, Sylvia screamed as her body jerked to the left from the sudden sharp turn that Jasper made with the limo as he continued driving like a madman to get to the hospital.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY9cKqeYQN
“ Oh my god, well is he ok?!”, Leo shrieked as she instantly shot up from the couch with her heart beginning to race at the words that just assaulted her eardrums.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseTFrQkJDw
“ Wait, what’s going on Leo?”, Dakota asked in concern as she stood up too along with Sheldon and Amanda following suit.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZAybGhaTB
“ It’s mine and Amanda’s Aunt Sylvia on the phone Dakota! She said that Leonard just got attacked by two Hispanic dudes and they hijacked his car on his way home from Caltech! She said that Ivas and Twister apparently set him up so that they could bust out of jail again by hiring these two other idiots to distract the police with another crime as an attempt to avoid making their escape look too obvious!”, Leo screamed at her friend when she pulled her phone away from her ear for a moment making the other three gasp in horror at what they just heard.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlsHl3iv6h
“ What?!”, Amanda shrieked as her mouth dropped open.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChoss6P1RG
“ Son of a biscuit, I knew it! I knew it was a set-up the moment Leonard had first spoken about this but did he listen to me when I told him not to go and fall for it?! No he didn’t!”, Sheldon hissed as he threw his head back, balling up his fists in anger at his sides.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKksxWe3UC
“ Shut up Sheldon, you’re not helping at the moment! Give me the phone Leo!”, Dakota hissed as she swiped Leo’s phone away from her and screamed into the phone, “ Sylvia, this is Dakota! You said my husband was attacked and set-up coming home from Caltech?!” when she put it to ear to hear what was going on.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nqtw5tOvO
“ Yes Dakota! Why the hell do you think I’m calling in the first place?! Jasper and I are currently racing Leonard up to the hospital in my limo as we speak at the moment because Leonard’s starting to cough up blood and is having some trouble breathing caused by the injuries he just received not even two seconds ago!”, Sylvia screamed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27xWM8tvlw
“ What?! Oh that’s it, out of my way now you idiots!”, Dakota shrieked as she quickly shoved Leo’s phone back into her hand before she took off running out of the apartment and down the stairs like a bat out of hell screaming at the top of her voice, “ LEONARD!” followed by screaming, “ Makenzie Ghendrick Harris if you’re listening to me right now from the other side then please for the love of God do not let my husband lose his life! I ain’t ready for this yet and neither is my daughter Athena either! Ahhhhh!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOmQPByKNy
“ What the hell?! Dakota?! Come back here, you can’t just… ugh! We’ll meet you and Jasper up at the hospital Aunt Sylvia! We’re on our way now! Come on move it or lose it Sheldon and Amanda!”, Leo screamed out the door before she screamed into her phone and hung up, sprinting out the door as fast as she could after grabbing her purse with her keys and wallet in it.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49OCHcgl6b
“ Oh to hell we are sis! Come on Sheldon, let’s go! Wait up Leo!”, Amanda shrieked as she followed after her sister.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ8wQDRBE0
“ Oh Lord, this never ends does it?! Would you slow down Amanda and Leo before y’all end up killing yourselves on the stairs like DC Flashettes?! This is ridiculous!”, Sheldon screamed as he followed after his wife Leo and his sister-in law Amanda as well.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM1AeddSCe
“ Sheldon not now! Shut up!”, Leo screamed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ykxTl5ja4
“ What the hell is going on out here you guys?! What are you and Skullbreaker screaming about now?! I was in the middle of practicing for another upcoming audition!”, Penny hissed as she suddenly came out of her apartment across the hall clenching her fists at her sides wondering what her friends were up to this time.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VEmtWL995
“ We’re going to the hospital Penny! Leonard was just viciously attacked by 2 unidentified Hispanic dudes who jumped him out of nowhere and stole his car as he was on his way home from picking up something at Caltech just a few minutes ago! They choked him, broke his nose, broke his glasses, and shot him in his hip before they took off after shoving him out of the car in the middle of the roadway! Apparently Ivas and Twister set him up by hiring these two other idiots to commit this crime so that it would distract the police long enough for them to bust out of jail again and make their escape look less obvious!”, Leo screamed back up at her as they kept running down the stairs while she was frantically searching her purse for her blood pressure insulin to inject herself with it to keep her blood pressure from dropping due to her rising stress level.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghW943gtcA
“ Oh my god, are you f*cking serious right now Leo?!”, Penny shrieked down the stairwell at her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTTOHFFva7
“ Do I sound like I’m kidding to you?! No! Come on, let’s go!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodBK2PryJe
“ Oh balls, not again! Not another sh*t show! Wait up for me too you a**holes! Leonard Hofstadter!”, Penny screamed as she rolled her eyes and quickly grabbed her purse from her apartment, locking the door up behind her before she ran down the stairs after her friends to catch up with them.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvGsAtb3j6
“ What the…?! Guys, what are you…?! Ahhh!”, Melissa suddenly shrieked in surprise when she came out of her apartment 2 floors down only to be yanked down the stairs by the wrist like a bat out of hell by Amanda when she along with Leo, Sheldon, and Penny suddenly came running by her shortly after Dakota had already ran past there to get down to the lobby a few seconds ago just screaming her head off like a woman in a horror film.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B9uihakNY
“ No time for chit chat Melissa, we got to go now! Leonard’s hurt!”, Amanda screamed as they kept running while Leo was injecting herself with her blood pressure insulin when she finally found it in her purse before she discarded the empty syringe and needle into the trash can that was near the building entrance door when they reached the lobby moments later and ran outside to her car in the parking lot to get in it after she fumbled with her keys for a minute when she pulled them out of her purse.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hCpIZhDew
“ What?! Are you freaking serious right now?!”, Melissa shrieked as they piled into Leo’s car and sped out of the parking lot.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrXS86Cl1Z
“ Yes! Why the hell do you think we’re freaking out like this at the moment?! We just got a call telling us that Leonard was just viciously attacked by 2 unidentified Hispanic men and had his car stolen by them as he was driving home from picking up something at Caltech!”, Leo screamed as she was driving like a madwoman to get to the hospital.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRiXwqgaUV
“ Well who called you to tell you that Leo?!”, Melissa screamed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00WtTfMwBb
“ Mine and Amanda’s Aunt Sylvia did! She found him laying in the road a few minutes ago outside a hotel that her and Jasper are apparently staying at here in Pasadena at the moment! I guess they drove up here in her limo to come visit us and we didn’t even know about it!”, Leo screamed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa8Od2iWlN
“ Correction, it’s Amanda and I kitten!”, Sheldon corrected in a screaming voice at his wife.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTi6NLHyG4
“ Sheldon I said shut up, not now! We don’t have time for this nonsense! For all we know Leonard could be dying or is already dead by now and we don’t need that happening, period! So like I said just zip it!”, Leo screamed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8INo5jP0D
“ Yeah well I don’t need to be sitting in this car listening to you two screaming at each other right now! I’m currently trying to get a hold of my mother back here and this isn’t helping!”, Dakota screamed as she was listening to the dial tone of her phone that she was holding against her ear at that moment in the back seat while sitting next Penny, Amanda, and Melissa.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGJJJDFw7L
“ Dakota!”, Leo hissed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUQ1rglQXa
“ What Leo?!”, Dakota shot back.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Sy6jUC65
“ Hello? Dakota is that you?”, Mrs. Harris’s voice came through the other end of the phone after the first few rings went unanswered.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNISzAF1ta4
“ Yes Mom it’s me! Get out here to Pasadena with Dad, Johnathan, and Eamon now! My husband was attacked!”, Dakota screamed through the phone at her mother while trying to keep herself from crying and going completely insane over the whole situation going on with Leonard at that moment.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g6vQeOUrW
“ What?! Leonard was attacked?! By who sweetheart?!”, Mrs. Harris shrieked in horror at what she just heard from her daughter.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxFRADc4UL
“ By two Hispanic men that apparently Ivas and Twister hired to jump my husband out of nowhere and steal his car so that they could bust out of jail again without the police suspecting anything! He’s got a broken nose and a gunshot wound on his hip which apparently are bleeding very badly from what I heard coming from Leo and Amanda’s Aunt Sylvia! His glasses are broken too, no doubtly from when he got shoved out of his car onto the roadway in front of a hotel that Sylvia and her butler Jasper are staying at currently at the moment! Oh god I can’t breathe!”, Dakota screamed as she was trying to fight back the tears that were threatening to come down her face.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6ivQEhiGk
“ That’s terrible honey! Ok ok don’t panic, we’ll be there as soon as we can! Godd*mn it!”, Mrs. Harris shrieked before she hung up and ran off to tell her husband and their two sons about what was going on in Pasadena at that moment to which they instantly all raced out of the house and headed to the airport to book the fastest flight out there as possible. A short time later as everyone started getting word of what was going on they all showed up moments later including The Coopers who flew up from Galveston as well Axel who drove all the way from Santa Monica like a madman when he first heard about the incident from Dakota as well. The rest of the Fordyce family came out there from Savannah too and Cayela along with Athena and the rest of their friends showed up too when they got word of this as well shortly after Athena told Kyle they had to leave the game early because of an emergency to which he totally understood because he would have done the same thing if it was someone in his family if they were having an emergency in the first place too.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhHqHqMEXE
“ We’re here Aunt Sylvia! Where are you and Jasper at?!”, Amanda screamed when they all ran in through the main entrance doors of the hospital moments later shortly after the rest of the Fordyce family plus Mrs. Rivers, her husband Ed, and their daughter Kesley, the Coopers, and the Harrises flew in from Savannah, Galveston, and Fort Knox as quickly and safely as possible. Gia, Simon, Brady, Ariel, and baby Helen also showed up from Salem as well when they got word of what was going on too.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa3h57ZY1w
“ We’re right here Amanda! What in the living hell took you all so long to get here! I was almost about ready to collapse on this floor from a panic attack right in front of Jasper shortly after we arrived here with Leonard to get him emergency life-saving help!”, Sylvia screamed at her eldest niece when her and Jasper stood up from the chairs they were sitting on in the waiting room.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzcGADaZF3
“ We had to wait for everyone’s planes to get in at the airport before coming here which took like several minutes plus the traffic was really backed up from people trying to get in and out of the airport in the first place so we were stuck there plus on the highway coming here for like, I don’t know, 45 minutes or so?!”, Leo hissed as she looked at the others.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3yWgLSzi3
“ Yeah pretty much!”, Amy shrieked as she stood next to Peter who had just become her fiance 24 hours ago. Her engagement ring on her finger was glistening underneath the fluorescent hospital lights as she shoved her hair out of her face with her fingers looking very concerned about what was going on as well as the others.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbvSmNBzNv
“ Yeah well enough about that right now Amy! Where’s my husband Sylvia?! I need to see him!”, Dakota hissed at Amy before she turned to Sylvia to ask her that last part.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzG9fw85wo
“ He’s in the emergency room Dakota but they told us we can’t go in yet! They’re working on him trying to get the bleeding to stop first before they give him a blood transfusion for all the blood loss he’s had so far at the moment!”, Sylvia screamed at her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzIBg3WqyF
“ Yeah well I don’t care, I’m going in anyway! Excuse me a minute, out of my way you guys!”, Dakota hissed before she ran to the doors of the ER banging on them screaming, “ Open up these bitchin’ doors now you idiots or I’m gonna…!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiiEWhagp1
“ Oh for cripes sake, Dakota! You guys grab her before she hurts herself and we end up having two emergencies here!”, Raj screamed as he ran towards his friend to reach out to grab her prompting the other adults to do the same causing somewhat of a mass panic leaving Athena really scared, Cayela looking like she wanted to cry, and Florence and the others very confused and concerned about what was happening in the first place. Even Brady and Ariel were looking a little confused and scared as well while baby Helen was just resting completely unaware of the situation going on around her in Brady’s arms after his mother had handed her to him so that she could assist in the efforts of the others to calm Dakota down to prevent her from hurting herself over what she was doing in the first place.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMyim2Gsu9
“ Not now Raj! Shut up and GET THE HELL OFF ME JASPER MCCLEVEN! This is ridiculous! I need to see Leonard and find out if he’s ok! I’m not just going to stand here not knowing what is going on with him at the moment! The last thing I want is for him to die tonight because of his injuries and end up in a godd*mn f*cking crematorium! LET ME IN NOW YOU DINGBATS BEFORE I BREAK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR STUPID SKULLS FOR THIS SHIT! YOU AIN’T KEEPING ME AWAY FROM THE MAN I LOVE!”, Dakota screamed like a psycho woman and went absolutely bonkers just banging on the doors of the ER in a fit of rage after she shoved away Raj and the others including Jasper, not realizing that she just said the one thing that she shouldn’t have said right in front of Cayela and Athena who were standing just a few feet behind them with all of their friends as well as the Waverly children too.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkJDdAxXUy
“ WHAT?!”, some of the others gasped in complete shock as they all stared at each other for a moment before they looked back at Dakota with dropped open mouths. They couldn’t believe their ears at what they just heard come out of her mouth.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwTDSep7De
“ Dakota shhhh, watch what you’re saying! Cayela and Athena are…!”, Leo screamed in horror as she gestured to the two young teenage girls who were standing behind them with seemingly shocked looks on their faces at what they just heard.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQxymHsrT
“ Are you freaking kidding me?! What are you talking about Mom?! Is that seriously what Dad told you the day he broke his foot?! He told you he wants to be cremated?!”, Athena shrieked as she stared at her mother.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRsL2ZUxLC
“ Yes he did! Oh god… Athena I am so sorry, I shouldn’t have said that in front of you! I was just…!”, Dakota shrieked in horror when she realized what she had done.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cnqKDrhyg
“ OH MY GOD, DAD!”, Athena screamed in a panic as she instantly ran to the doors banging on them which immediately made Cayela follow suit screaming, “ UNCLE LEONARD!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVq9BQVLyj
“ Oh balls!”, Penny hissed as she rolled her eyes at the chaotic scene that was unfolding at that moment.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazRhARdhzt
“ Totally agreed! Way to go you MMA fightin’ bi*ch! Cayela, Athena, calm down before you end up hurting yourselves!”, Bernadette screamed as she reached out to grab Cayela and Athena along with the others following suit in an effort to get the situation under control.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTRHQT9fV5
“ COME ON COME ON, OPEN UP THE DOORS YOU NINCOMPOOPS! THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I OUGHTTA… DAD!”, Athena screamed as she kept banging and yanking at the ER doors in an attempt to get in, refusing to move away from them even for a second as everyone kept trying to pull her away.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ppv7WBJBH
“ UNCLE LEONARD!”, Cayela screamed again as she kept doing the same thing.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsX0Jn4ZVe
“ Great Caesar’s Ghost this is madness! Somebody do something here! I feel like my ears are about to bleed over this nonsense that’s happening at the moment!”, Sheldon hissed as he rolled his eyes while trying to assist in the efforts to calm the girls down.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ2ZxtJQCX
“ Sheldon you’re not helping right now! Girls, girls, girls, will you calm down before you… oh hell, Dakota!”, Leo screamed as she continued to try to help the others pull the girls away only for the ER doors to suddenly swing open revealing several doctors, nurses, and security guards who came out there to try to defuse the situation only for Dakota to roughly shove them aside screaming, “ Thank you Jesus Christ the Lord, out of my way you idiots! Leonard!” as she then ran through the doors to find her husband prompting everyone else to follow her screaming as well as an attempt to prevent her from hurting herself going completely schizo over the entire situation.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhfOphtpuI
“ Leonard where the hell are you?! Are you ok?! Leonard?!“, Dakota screamed as she kept running trying to find him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ZMlRYPGA
“ DAD!“, Athena screamed as she was following her mother.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3MRmMaqZj
“ UNCLE LEONARD WHERE ARE YOU?! SAY SOMETHING, ANYTHING AT ALL!“, Cayela screamed as she was trailing behind them too.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfRXWbzSSu
“ Oh for bullfightin’ cripes sake, this is getting ridiculous now! Hey would you asshats calm down and shut up! Someone’s gonna get hurt here!“, Raj shouted as him and the others were running behind them.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1TVbDBeJQ
“ Yeah you think Mr. Selective Mutism?! Quit bi*chin’ at us! Now’s not the time for it! You shut up!“, Bernadette shouted at him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgLcl6VjM7
“ Annyeonghaseyo, jeo salam-eun je nampyeon-ieyo. beleunadeteuleul malhaneun geojyo! ( Hey that’s my husband you’re talking about Bernadette!)“, Yesenia shouted at her friend in offense.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIgHXRGKki
“ Yesenia Koothrappali zip your trap! You’re not helping the situation right now and neither is what Dakota, Athena, and Cayela are doing too! Ladies get back here before somebody else gets hurt or ends up dead! Going completely awol over Leonard getting hurt is not going to make the situation any better! It’s just going to make it worse and that’s not something we want happening at the moment! Don’t make me take the three of you down to this hospital hallway floor because you’re not going to like it if I have to do that!“, Danny shouted at his Korean-American friend before he shouted at his MMA fighter friend as well as his two teenage nieces as the rest of them kept chasing after them trying to find the room that Leonard was in.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUkeSpnOzq
“ Shut up Danny, I don’t care at the moment! I need to physically see Leonard to know if he’s ok or not because I already lost my sister to cancer a long time ago and the last thing I want is to lose my husband too because of a gunshot wound! So leave me be before I give you my 3 spin headbuster kick to your head and knock you out! I’m not in the mood for your bullfightin’ bitchin’ at me!”, Dakota shouted as she kept running down the hospital hallway to find Leonard.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv5XuC1NMK
“ I don’t think so because if you do you’ll just be arrested for assaulting a police officer and I’m pretty sure you don’t want that happening in front of Athena do you?!”, Danny shouted as he narrowed his eyes at her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU3u3nzTZA
“ No of course not, that would be horrible! She didn’t see it happen to Leonard when he scared Amy, Leo, Penny, Bernadette, Melissa, Artemis, and I with that Michael Myers costume at Amy’s apartment a while ago as a joke so why would I want her to see it happen to me?! I would be absolutely horrified if she did!”, Dakota shouted.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1HZSdcYEm
“ Exactly, that’s what I thought! Don’t be making threats that you can’t follow through on because it’s just an unnecessary waste of time!”, Danny shouted.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WBem7b67j
“ Ok ok I get it! I’ll shut up!”, Dakota shouted.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX567wWs9Og
“ Thank you!”, Danny shouted.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj6td0rDmv
“ Yeah well I’m not gonna shut up about this because this is ridiculous! DAD WHERE ARE YOU?! SAY SOMETHING NOW BEFORE YOU MAKE ME LOSE MY FREAKIN’ MIND HERE WONDERING IF YOU’RE DEAD OR ALIVE!”, Athena screamed at the top of her lungs as she stood in the middle of the hospital ER hallway looking for her father with everyone else gathered around a few feet behind her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs21QuWWbRY
“ I’m right here Athena Makenzie, you don’t need to scream and shout! For god sakes what the hell is…?!”, Leonard suddenly shouted at his daughter in somewhat of a nasally voice when he emerged from one of the rooms gripping an IV pole that he was attached to for a blood transfusion in somewhat of a hunched over position due his gunshot wound that was covered up with a bandage underneath his t-shirt, hoodie, and blue jeans as well as a bandage on his broken nose too along with several cuts and bruises all over him from being beaten up and shoved out of his moving car into the middle of the road in the first place which instantly caught everyone’s attention as they turned around to see him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wIDUZS7SM
“ Leonard!”, all the other adults screamed as they ran towards him with Dakota spearing herself into him nearly knocking him over causing him to shriek in surprise and pain, “ Ok woah woah woah, ow ow ow! Dakota, you guys, what are you…?!” as Dakota screamed, “ Son of a f*cking bi*ch thank god you’re ok! I was about ready to have a…!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0Cgiey1eS
“ Yeah me too but I’m fine! I got really lucky. They said that if Sylvia and Jasper had gotten me here another 3 minutes later I probably would’ve bled to death so they really saved my life when Jasper drove like hell to get up here the minute I started coughing up blood in the back seat of the limo.”, Leonard hissed in pain a little bit in a slightly nasally voice as everyone released their grip on him including Dakota.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLxhbqrjcK
“ Well regardless you still scared the sh*t out of us man! We thought we were gonna have to plan another funeral for someone else we love after we already lost Makenzie, Mr. Langenstein, and even Julianne too a while ago but thank god we don’t have to! At least hopefully not for a very long time still!”, Raj hissed as he let out a sigh of relief along with the others.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Q3QUn5Eq
“ Agreed Raj!”, some of the other adults said.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh1NTvqmQh
“ Yeah totally because anything is better than me witnessing your FINAL WISHES that Mom just told me about!”, Athena hissed as she looked at her father right in the face with her fists clenched at her sides.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVkLOwyOHZ
“ Yeah well I can assure you guys that I’m fine and wait, WHAT?! You told her about my final wishes?! Dakota!”, Leonard said before he hissed that last part in his wife’s face when he heard what their daughter Athena said.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ChhDrfEfD
“ I’m sorry Leonard, it was an accident! I didn’t mean to! I just so upset about possibly losing you too soon that I wasn’t thinking clearly!”, Dakota shot back at him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEEZL32B66
“ Yeah well that wasn’t something I wanted her to know about until she was an adult!”, Leonard shouted as he gripped his IV pole that he was attached to by an IV line.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuGg8lDQf6
“ Well maybe if you hadn’t completely dropped this bombshell on me out of nowhere nearly at the top of your voice up at Henninger Flats in Altadena in the first place we wouldn’t be in this mess now would we?!”, Dakota shouted back as she clenched her fists at her sides standing a few feet away from her husband.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdym84lRkmo
“ Oh come on what the hell is that supposed to mean?!”, Leonard shouted.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL5JQxYWhM
“ You know what it means you asthmatic dumb a**! It means that you shouldn’t have said that to begin with! It’s common sense goddammit!”, Dakota shouted as she threw her hands up.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBQ8odolD7
“ For god sakes you’re still having an issue about that Dakota?!”, Leonard shouted as he rolled his eyes at his wife.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tTPIBLl4G
“ Not when we made up about it at my parents house I didn’t after we came to a compromise Leonard but now that you’re screaming at me due to the fact that I accidentally said it in front of Athena I am having an issue with it again because this isn’t the position that I wanted to be placed in to begin with, period! You should not have told me that they way that you did or better yet, you should’ve already told me when we were dating at my sister’s wake during the time that she was being cremated! That should’ve been the time to tell me what you wanted for final wishes someday but instead you waited until long after we were married to tell me completely out of nowhere just after you broke your foot while walking around in the woods up in Altadena because of what Amy and Peter did to us in the first place!”, Dakota shouted as she jerked her finger at her husband as an attempt to get her point across to him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ODqj7Hp9Q
“ Um excuse me but no I couldn’t have said that at that time because you were grieving, I didn’t want to make it worse, and you know what just forget about what I said alright! I’m not in the mood!”, Leonard shouted as he waved his hand off at Dakota.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8VnGUgSgl
“ Oh puhlease that’s batsh*t, you know it, and I’m not just going to forget about what you said as if you never said it in the first place! It’s obvious that you want to talk about it so let’s talk about it then!”, Dakota shouted as she rolled her eyes at her husband.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpxy7mAsPM
“ No, I don’t want to talk about it Dakota! What part of ‘ just forget about what I said’ do you not understand?!”, Leonard shouted back at his wife.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ1TmGZPda
“ I don’t understand any of it! If you don’t want to talk about it Leonard then why are you bringing it up again and making us fight about it like an old married couple after we already came to a compromise with it a long while ago at my parents house when you came to apologize to me in the first place?!”, Dakota shouted as she crossed her arms and glared at him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhhhC2NXnU
“ Because you’re the one who started it when you told Athena about my wishes in the first place so it’s your own fault that we’re fighting about this again!”, Leonard shouted as he jerked his finger at her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X7a8AVvaX
“ My own fault?! I don’t think so mister! It’s your fault for not telling me about this when we were dating to begin with, especially at the moment when MY SISTER GOT CREMATED!”, Dakota shouted as she pointed her finger at herself for a moment and shook her head before she jerked her finger back at him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc8d8ctWrw
“ Oh for God sakes I already told you before that I couldn’t because you were grieving at that time! Trust me, if I would’ve told you that right then and there it would’ve just made the situation 10 times worse and that’s not what someone does to another person who they love, period! It just doesn’t happen because it’s shallow and wrong!”, Leonard shouted as he rolled his eyes again.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQIqEtdCDt
“ You’re being ridiculous!”, Dakota shouted.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAGP5Ae7CY
“ No I’m not, you are!”, Leonard shouted as the two of them continued arguing back and forth talking over each other which in turn made everyone roll their eyes while Cayela and Athena got upset about it prompting Sheldon to get in the middle of it and shortly after he told them to shut up the two spouses then decided to let the whole issue go until later in life and made up with each other as well as apologized to each other and the others for how they acted. Things were then good for the rest of the night shortly after Dakota gave Leonard his spare pair of glasses to be able to see allowing everyone to continue their conversations with each other until visiting hours were over and everyone else left for the night leaving Dakota to spend the night in the hospital with Leonard for observation. Then the next day shortly after Leonard got discharged Leo and Sheldon came up there to pick him and Dakota up to take them home just after they had dropped Cayela and Athena off at school for the day while everyone else went to work like normal which included Danny and several fellow officers searching for Leonard’s car as well as the two guys that stole it and Ivas and Twister when they discovered that the two of them had busted out of jail again the night before and were running loose in the city doing God knows what.

“ Ok, we’re home.”, Leo said with a smile as all 4 of them walked in the door moments later making Oreo come trotting over to greet them with a meow.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k7qqaULks
“ Great. I need to go find my f*cking car now.”, Leonard nonchalantly said as he tried to turn around and walk back out of the apartment to search the city for his stolen car wearing the same clothes he was wearing the night before only for his wife Dakota to quickly grab him by the arm to pull him back in and say in somewhat of a scolding voice, “ Ah ah ah I don’t think so mister! That’s what Danny and several other officers are doing right now! What you need to be doing is going to take a shower and then going to take a nap in our bed! You just got shot last night in addition to getting a broken nose when you got punched in the face too which nearly took your life just like the carbon monoxide poisoning incident that happened to you at work a long time ago before our daughter was born! Your body needs time to heal before you can do anything else!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuyiR5fA8R
“ Oh come on, Dakota I’m fine! I don’t need to take a nap! I really need to go find my car and…!”, Leonard protested as he rolled his eyes and shook his head while trying to pull away from her to leave the apartment.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacOIzHnAi1
“ No you’re not and no you don’t! I already told you that Danny’s got that all covered. You just need to worry about yourself so come on let’s go. We’re not going to have another stupid argument like we did last night at the hospital. Besides, I got a surprise for you anyway that I’ve been hiding in our bedroom closet for the past week.”, Dakota said as she kept her grip on him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LrBFS9JwG
“ But I… ugh, fine whatever you say.”, Leonard said with a defeated sigh.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23SN7uX1bK
“ Thank you. I’ll be back out here in a few minutes you guys. I’m just gonna get Leonard in the shower and then go put him to bed so he can take a nap.”, Dakota said as she started pulling Leonard with her down the hallway to the bathroom with a smile on her face.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5SKITFMbQ
“ Well alright Dakota, sounds good to us. Sheldon and I will just be working on our whiteboards out here if you need us.”, Leo said as she picked up a dry erase marker to work on her whiteboard that was set up next to her desk in the living room with Sheldon doing the same thing.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI5wcM7uDJ
“ Great, thanks Leo!”, Dakota called back before she shut the bathroom door behind herself and Leonard moments later just as Oreo tried to sneak in there as well but with no success forcing her to go trotting off to do something else at that moment.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKZrH79FbZ
*sounds of the shower being turned on*
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77enCy9i7y
“ Ok sit down on the toilet lid for a moment so I can take your shoes off honey.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHavOlCpRK
“ Fine.” *sound of toilet lid being shut followed a slight thump from Leonard sitting down on it* “ Ow!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs0kbh2ZQl
“ What?! What happened?!”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybT81E0PaP
“ Nothing Dakota, it’s just my gunshot wound. It still hurts from last night.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGxl8VOBZL
“ Well of course that would be obvious Leonard. People aren’t meant to have gunshot wounds, period.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJEOECjPbh
*sound of Dakota sliding Leonard’s shoes off as well as his socks followed by her stripping his clothes off along with the bandage around his waist, his glasses on his face, and his wedding band on his finger after she had taken off the hospital bracelet on his wrist along with his wristwatch when she helped him stand back up and walked him over to the shower*
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNjNgDkybE
“ You think? Ow, careful… ok I’m in now.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQBXtAIUbH
*sound of Leonard sliding the shower curtain shut behind him as the water kept running out of the shower head*
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tz8xVKp3f
“ Great. I’m just gonna go get some fresh clothes from our room for you and I’ll be back in a second. Let me know if you need anything else if you think of anything.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxydy6ucUAy
“ Thanks, I will. Love you honey.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlCqspQ81e
“ Love you too.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7Vh42rvz5
Dakota then walked out of the bathroom and headed to their bedroom to grab a fresh set of clothes for her husband after she dropped his dirty clothes into the laundry basket to be washed later before she returned to the bathroom while Leonard was still washing himself in the shower. Then shortly after he was finished and she helped get out of the shower to dry off before she wrapped a fresh bandage around his waist after she gently rubbed a thin layer of petroleum jelly on his gunshot wound and redressed him in clothes that consisted of a yellow graphic t-shirt and a pair of dark brown slacks underneath his dark green zip up hoodie jacket in addition to a fresh pair of socks and his glasses she then walked him back to their room after picking up his wedding band, his watch, and his shoes to make him sit down on the edge of the bed for a moment after she pulled back the covers before she handed him his phone back that she took out of her pocket that was given back to her by Sylvia the night before when she found it on the floor in the back seat of her limo and said, “ Here, play with your phone for a moment Leonard. I’m gonna go get your pain meds that the hospital gave us.” as she set his wedding band and his watch on the nightstand next to the bed and placed his shoes on the floor.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYElq8YiRn
“ Ok, thank you Dakota.”, Leonard said as he kissed his wife before she walked out of the room as she said, “ No problem.” before she asked Leo when she entered the living room again, “ Hey Leo, where’s Leonard’s pain meds that they gave us at the hospital?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNcL5FbFvB
“ Oh they’re in my purse, hold on one second Dakota.”, Leo said as she put down the dry erase marker she had in her hand and walked over to the coat rack that her purse was hanging up on to dig through it before she found the pill bottle with Leonard’s name on it and handed it to her friend.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3MXKzQ8bU
“ Here it is.”, Leo said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2UCbsZpjL
“ Great, thanks.”, Dakota said with a smile as she took the pill bottle and walked over to the fridge in the kitchen area to grab a bottle of water out of the fridge before she headed back to her’s and Leonard’s room with those very same items in her hands.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAf5qh4PyY
“ No problem.”, Leo said as she then went back to working on her whiteboard.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjaD1cROEA
“ Ok I’m back, here take this.”, Dakota said as she walked around the bed to dump two pills out of the bottle into her hand and handed them plus the bottle of water to her husband so that he could take them. Leonard then took them from his wife after he set his phone down on the nightstand and swallowed the pills when he shoved them into his mouth while being careful not to bump his broken bandaged nose at the same time.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3isCCh71o
“ Good?”, Dakota asked.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGwrC2JzUs
“ Yeah.”, Leonard said as he blinked his eyes.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBpNwDPEqW
“ Great. Ok lay down.”, Dakota said before she took the water bottle from Leonard, placing it on the nightstand as she then gently pushed on his shoulders to get him to lay down on the bed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNZEA7v6Vx
“ Fine but is this really…?”, Leonard started to say as he lifted his legs up onto the bed to lay down only for Dakota to interrupt him by saying, “ Ah ah ah stop talking mister, you can talk later after you’ve had a nap.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZJxXtrdzT
“ Ok, fine.”, Leonard said with a sigh as he laid there in bed looking up at the ceiling with slow blinking eyes.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHMRsudScV
“ Thank you and surprise, look what I got you. A brand new Batman throw blanket.”, Dakota said with a smile as she walked over to the closet for a moment to grab the new blanket that she had bought for him before she walked back over to the bed again with it.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkvPFD6znt
“ Wow, really? Where did you get that?”, Leonard asked with a slight smile as Dakota covered him with the blanket before she pulled the bed covers up over it to tuck him in.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7S7VpSix
“ I got it when I was at the mall with Leo last week while you were at Caltech working in your lab. You like it?”, Dakota asked.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoElbrITX6K
“ I love it, it’s really warm and soft.”, Leonard said.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvGVTKVEPU
“ Well good, I’m glad you love it. It immediately made me think of you when I saw it so that’s why I bought it to surprise you with it.”, Dakota said as she gently stroked her fingers through his hair.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xHXSROEBE
“ Well d*mn you really do know me, thank you.”, Leonard said with a smile as he looked up at her with blinking eyes.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhYRYTmyY0
“ Of course I do you asthmatic idiot and you’re welcome.”, Dakota said with a slight laugh before she said, “ Anyway enough talking now, just get some rest. I’ll come back in here to check on you in a few hours to see how you’re feeling then ok.”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NiREvFO6O
“ Ok.”, Leonard said as he let out a yawn before he began to doze off, snoring softly and peacefully as he really began to settle underneath the covers. Dakota then gently took his glasses off his face and set them on the nightstand before she leaned over and said in a soft voice with a smile, “ Have a good nap Leonard, I love you.” She then kissed his forehead before she walked out of the room shutting the door behind her. Once she walked back out into the living room Oreo then came out from underneath their bed after she had somehow managed to sneak in there like the stealthy little black kitty she was during the time that Dakota had stepped out of the room for a moment to grab Leonard’s pain meds and jumped up onto the bed purring as she approached Leonard and climbed up on his head to take a catnap without waking him up.

“ Well, I’d say that was successful.”, Dakota said with a smile as she grabbed a can of Coke out of the fridge and walked over to the couch with it to sit down and watch tv.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmT2XHd3wb
“ Really? Leonard’s napping now?”, Leo asked as she looked over her shoulder for a moment.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFscwuou9P0
“ Yep, sleeping like a baby.”, Dakota said as she cracked her Coke can open to drink it before she picked up the tv remote to flip through the channels on the tv when she turned it on.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY61LPVuhj8
“ Nice. Did he like his new blanket you got him Dakota?”, Leo asked as she was fixing an equation on her whiteboard.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHurSBqkdc
“ Yeah he loves it Leo. He even gave me a little smile when I gave it to him.”, Dakota said with a smile as she took a sip of her soda.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8313E7KwUS
“ Aww well that’s cute!”, Leo said with a smile.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4WeWW54Tq
“ True that.”, Dakota said as she took another sip of her soda while watching tv after she settled on George Lopez when she came across the TV Land channel.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQBiu8237I
“ Wait, what? What did you get Leonard?”, Sheldon asked as he stopped what he was doing for a moment to turn around and face his friend.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wLQpUM2iU
“ She got him a new Batman throw blanket last week when her and I were at the mall Sheldon. I’ll tell you more about it later, right now let’s just continue working on our equations.”, Leo said as she looked at her husband.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstk1I9PjPz
“ Interesting. Well alright if say so Leo.”, Sheldon said as the two resumed working on their whiteboards.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUeJykDVu1
“ That doesn’t sound good.”, Leo said as she did the same thing.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDGJHZnPZG
“ You think Leo? Dear Lord that sounds like Penny and it sounds like she’s hot under the collar about something over there.”, Sheldon said as he did the same thing as well.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYR6bGvHyQ
“ I think you’re right Sheldon. Come on, let’s go see what the problem is.”, Leo said with a sigh as the three of them stopped what they were doing and walked out of the apartment to head across the hall to see what was up with Penny.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPmeSkGdRa
“ Penny? You ok over here?”, Leo asked in concern when she walked in through the open doorway of 4B with Sheldon and Dakota standing behind her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqL7B0qrMt
“ Hell no Leo! I’m f*cking pissed at the moment!”, Penny hissed in anger as she stood behind her kitchen island pouring herself a glass of wine after she grabbed the wine bottle out of her fridge for a moment before she stuffed it back in there and slammed the door shut.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaBrUZXaFs
“ Well good Lord woman, please do tell us what has gotten you so mad right now because we’re clueless.”, Sheldon said in concern and confusion as he stared at his neighbor and friend.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGZfwDD589
“ Jasper McCleven, Sylvia’s butler that’s who Sheldon!”, Penny hissed as she stormed over to her couch with her wine glass in her hand to sit down with it.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PTdkzICjX
“ Oh god girl, what about Jasper? What did he do?”, Dakota asked as she rolled her eyes.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOBqqciUIc
“ What did he do?! I’ll tell you what he did Dakota! Apparently the idiot thought it would be so funny to try to smoke me out in my car with a stupid fog machine on my way home from work today!”, Penny hissed as she took a sip of her wine.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbjrIL5UEs
“ Seriously?! He pulled a fog machine prank on you?!”, Leo asked as she stared at her, crossing her arms.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rZMJC6Qgu
“ Oh hell yes he did and I almost got into an accident on my way back here because I couldn’t see anything through my godd*mn windshield due to him apparently somehow rigging the stupid thing to my car’s ignition while I was working in the pharmaceutical lab with Bernadette! He almost killed me, the a**hole!”, Penny hissed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoKSioagPL
“ Oh what fresh hell is this? That’s insane. How do you know it was him that did it?”, Sheldon asked as he stared at her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwatMFowgY
“ Because he left THIS with his handwriting on it in my car! Read it!”, Penny hissed as she picked up a piece of paper with some words on it to shove it in her friend’s face.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRi8Mi00Fm
“ Smoke and mirrors Penny. Got you blondie, signed by Jasper McCleven. Well you’re right, that is his handwriting.”, Sheldon said as he read the note before he handed it back to her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGo0l5BHiU
“ I know, right?! Ugh, I am so gonna kill that butler for this!”, Penny hissed.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNtVKYurAz
“ Oh come on, that’s ridiculous! There’s no way that could be his handwriting!”, Leo shot back as she rolled her eyes.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz4QLhq5Ob
“ I’m telling you Leo, yes it is! Look at it!”, Penny hissed as she passed the note to her as well.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsu7SzlTUo
“ Ok fine whatever you say Penny but I’m telling you… son of a f*cking bi*ch you’re right! That is Jasper’s handwriting!”, Leo said as she looked at the note for a moment before she handed it back to her neighbor/friend.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg2TcwOaqQ
“ Told you!”, Penny hissed as she threw her hands out to her sides.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWmW8qrRvA
“ God it’s always something isn’t it? Hold on one second, I’m gonna call him.”, Leo said with a frustrated sigh as she pulled out her phone to call Jasper.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBjyE0O57i
“ Why would you do that Leo?”, Sheldon asked as he looked at his wife.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQHTuEMusy
“ Because you already know why Sheldon! Now shut up for a moment!”, Leo hissed at her husband as she dialed Jasper’s number and put the phone to her ear, listening to the dial tone as she tapped her foot on the floor waiting for him to answer.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOZr1VwXnH
“ Hello?”, Jasper said when he answered the phone after the first few rings.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRlSagm5gt
“ Hey Jasper it’s Leo. Listen, did you try to smoke Penny out in her car with a fog machine today as a joke?”, Leo asked as she held her phone against her ear.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pHPrq5Cqv
“ Yes I did, why do you ask?”, Jasper asked with a slight laugh as a smirk began to spread across his face.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3pKVnEIPB
“ Because dude you can’t do things like that! You almost killed her in a potential accident as she was driving back here from the pharmaceutical lab that she works at with Bernadette because she couldn’t see anything out of her windshield! Seriously, do you have a lack of common sense or something?! You don’t do that to your friends! You’re really lucky that Danny didn’t drive by seeing you doing that while still driving around the city with several other officers looking for Leonard’s car that these two unidentified dingbats stole from Leonard last night after they attacked him because otherwise you could’ve gotten in really big trouble for that! Do you want to get arrested for trying to kill people just for a couple of minutes of comedic pleasure?! Because that’s just so ridiculous and dumb and I’m pretty damn sure that my aunt doesn’t want somebody like that working for her in her mansion! So as funny as that is to you don’t do things like that Jasper because that’s a really good way to potentially get fired from my aunt and end up homeless on the streets of Savannah due to the fact that you live with her and have been since she hired you!”, Leo hissed at him as she threw her hair over her shoulder.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7B6MNVPjX
“ No I don’t want to get arrested and lose my job either but come on Leo I was just joking around! I really didn’t think it was that serious what I did!”, Jasper said.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoTtTUVyWj
“ Yeah well it was! I don’t care if it was a funny joke to you, you don’t do things like that! Period! That’s completely childish and you’re not a child! YOU’RE A GROWN A** MAN LOOKING AFTER MY AUNT’S MANSION AS WELL AS ACTING AS HER PERSONAL HOUSE SERVANT AND CHAUFFEUR TO HER LIMO! That’s not professional behavior and you know it! So quit it or you’re gonna get it from my aunt after I tell her about this!”, Leo hissed at him through her phone.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i3EeHNLOz
“ That’s just a bunch of hooha Leo, you can’t possibly mean that young lady!”, Jasper said with a slight laugh as he leaned back against the headboard of his bed in the hotel room that he was sharing with Sylvia.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW2LOBTKA7
“ Jasper Giles McCleven!”, Leo hissed Jasper’s full name at him in annoyance using a voice that told him that she meant business and wasn’t screwing around anymore.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlWldKsBxG
“ I’m kidding I’m kidding, geez Louise!”, Jasper laughed before he said, “ Is Penny there with you at the moment? If so can you put the phone on speaker so I can apologize to her?”
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3gcZi9WMG
“ Yes she is and yes I will, hold on one moment.”, Leo said before she pulled her phone away from her ear for a moment and pressed the speakerphone button to say, “ Ok go ahead, you’re on speaker.” as Penny stood next to her crossing her arms.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKziFyMtrOm
“ Penny I’m very sorry for my behavior young lady, I realized that was very uncalled for, inappropriate, and I shouldn’t have done it. I thought it was just a harmless prank but I guess I didn’t really think this through enough.”, Jasper apologized through the speaker of Leo’s phone.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxbjgMLD8M
“ Yeah, clearly you didn’t you numbskull! But anyway, thank you Jasper. I accept your apology.”, Penny said with a sigh as she uncrossed her arms and put them down by her sides.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKN41LrQFe
“ Great. Can I go now?”, Jasper asked.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wJQaHEn7v
“ Yes you can! In fact you can hightail it over here and take the fog machine out of Penny’s car so that this doesn’t happen again and you leave me no choice but to tell my aunt on you!”, Leo hissed as she flipped her hair over her shoulder again.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatvBAcakct
“ Alright alright, I get it. I’m on my way now, bye.”, Jasper said.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohRV8aFWRC
“ Thank you, bye.”, Leo said before she hung up on him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlRailyHWc
“ Ook, that was… odd. Leo were you seriously gonna tell on Jasper to your aunt as if he’s a little kid?”, Dakota asked as she looked at her friend in confusion.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVMvpd1Zla
“ Well yes Dakota I would’ve if he hadn’t apologized because that’s not professional behavior for what he did to Penny. He’s my aunt’s butler for crying out loud so it makes perfect sense.”, Leo said as she nodded her head before she put her phone away.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeqkue2TsH
“ If you say so.”, Dakota said as she scratched the back of her head for a moment.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ4sEf9Hv5
“ Yes well now that we have established this there’s something I need to say here that’s very important and… it involves you Leo.”, Sheldon said as he looked at Dakota for a second before he turned to look at Leo, giving her a look of urgency to indicate that what he was about to say couldn’t wait.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXqekAXLYK
“ Well ok, what is it Sheldon?”, Leo asked as she looked at her husband.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDMgJtprWJ
“ Well, after we arrived home last night from the hospital and you went to bed after you put Cayela and Athena to bed, I decided to stay up a little longer to finish up some important papers for work and I happened to be browsing the internet for some citations for what I was working on when all of a sudden I stumbled across something very interesting which leads me to ask… do you remember back when we were dating after the Verizon Wireless incident that happened in your office and you told Amy and I about your blood pressure deficiency to which I made the promise to you that I would find someone that would do something about this after you told us that this condition is incurable?”, Sheldon asked as he stared at his wife.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlG7GBAUho
“ Yes I remember that. Why do you ask?”, Leo asked in confusion as she flipped her hair over her shoulder.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95jzCuGCNz
“ Yeah what the hell is this about Sheldon? Where are you going with this?”, Dakota and Penny asked as they stared at him in confusion wondering what in the world he was talking about.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYzDCOcvyq
“ You’ll find out in a moment now hush up!”, Sheldon hissed before he continued with, “ Now as I was saying I’m only asking because it turns out that I found out that this condition is actually… more curable than we thought. I read at least a few studies about it that suggested that this condition is the result of a malfunctioning medulla and the only way to essentially cure it is a medulla transplant.” which immediately resulted in the three women gasping in complete shock at what just came out of his mouth.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKPffJRvXl
“ What the what?! Shut the living…!”, Penny and Dakota exclaimed in shock with wide eyes.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDs2r2mUPl
“ You guys shut up for a moment, this is about me alright! Are you flipping kidding me Sheldon?! You got to be messing with me right now!”, Leo hissed with wide eyes and a dropped open mouth as she gently shoved Penny and Dakota aside with her hands for a moment.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcge8RsAmdm
“ No I’m not, I’m dead serious Leo! I would’ve said Bazinga by now if I was joking!”, Sheldon said in a serious tone as he stared at her.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIRE4xmsoE
“ True, but, I don’t get it! So you’re saying this condition that I’ve had and have been suffering from since I was 10 years old has actually been curable this whole time and the information that my family and I have been receiving from several doctors was just misinformation about it?!”, Leo asked in confused shock.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rkC28q70X
“ Essentially it appears that way, yes.”, Sheldon said as he nodded his head.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IUkwGyb9A
“ Oh my GOD! Ahhh!”, Dakota and Penny squealed with excitement as they jumped for joy over the exciting news that there was a cure for their friend’s condition after all.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1T2YJy8k8
“ Wow! I… I don’t know what to say… I can’t believe this! If what you’re saying is true then I gotta do this because this’ll improve my life tenfold!”, Leo exclaimed with a smile on her face but as she started to take her phone out again to get this transplant procedure scheduled was when Sheldon instantly reached forward to grab her hands and said in a serious voice, “ Yes, I know that it’s very exciting information to hear but honey there’s something I should tell you about this and this may not be information that you want to hear, so, sit down for a moment.” as he then pulled her towards the couch and made her sit down next to him which instantly made Penny and Dakota stop what they were doing to look at him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHj78LRnEh
“ Ok. What is it?”, Leo asked as her smile faltered, giving Sheldon a look of concern as she sat next to him.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCyejeL4VH
“ Leo… this is a very high risk procedure and I read that it gives patients an estimated 50/50 percent chance of dying during surgery. So… there’s a chance that you might not come home if you go through with this.”, Sheldon said in concern as he held Leo’s hand while staring into her eyes.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZsuUFEo4v
“ Oh balls.”, Penny said as she rolled her eyes.
7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQIY5h8IN1
“ What?!”, Dakota asked in shock and concern.

“ Yes and I’m only telling you this because, think about it. We have a 14 year old daughter with special needs and if you die during the procedure, then… Cayela’s gonna have to grow up without you for the rest of her life.”, Sheldon said in concern with a sigh.

“ Wow, you’re right. I didn’t think about that. That’s a really big risk.”, Leo said with a sigh.

“ Indeed it is. So basically the question here is, is the risk of Cayela possibly losing her mother really worth taking over a procedure that could cure you from your condition?”, Sheldon asked in concern as he kept staring at his wife while holding her hand.

“ I don’t know. I mean, I want to cure it if you’re saying this is the only way to do it but… I also don’t want to think about the possibility of leaving our daughter without her mother because that would just break my heart.”, Leo said with a sigh before she turned her head to look up at Penny and Dakota and asked, “ What do you guys think I should do here?”

“ I don’t know girl, this is kind of tough.”, Dakota said with a sigh as she crossed her arms.

“ Yeah I agree. What is your gut telling you about it?”, Penny asked with a sigh as she did the same thing.

“ I’m not sure. It’s a lot information to take in.”, Leo said as she sat there and began to fidget with her phone in her hand, contemplating on whether or not to schedule the procedure that could give her a new life without needing her blood pressure insulin to keep her blood pressure elevated to normal levels.

“ Yes it most certainly is but personally in my opinion I think this something that we should think about at least for a bit before we make any kind of decision, perhaps maybe waiting until Cayela gets home from school with Athena and ask her about it to see what she thinks.”, Sheldon said in concern.

“ Well ok, that seems reasonable.”, Leo said as she put her phone away before the four of them continued talking with each other about something else for the time being.

Wow, what a shocking twist of events! What do you think Leo should do?! Should she risk her life for the curative procedure of her blood pressure deficiency or is it not worth the risk?! Also what do think will happen next in terms of the continued search for Leonard’s car and him healing from his injuries?! Let me know in the comments. To be continued…
