Chapter 4
Catherine was watching the whole exchange from the bed when she saw the gun. "NO!" she screamed.
When Peter heard her, he spun around and pointed the gun at Catherine. In an instance, Jim was on him and trying to wrestle the gun from him. Peter elbowed Jim in the stomach and Jim went down but not before knocking Peter off his feet as well. Both men were wrestling around on the floor when Catherine heard the most terrifying sound: the gun went off.
At that moment Nick came bursting into the room with his gun drawn. He looked at Catherine on the bed and then the two brothers on the floor. Peter slowly got up and looked at Jim laying on the floor bleeding from his abdomen.
Catherine jumped off the bed and ran to Jim. "Jim! Jimmy, don't you leave me. Not now." she said crying and pressing her hand against his abdomen to slow down the bleeding.
Nick called 911. Then he grabbed Peter and shoved him against the wall. "What the hell's wrong with you? That's your brother, man! If he dies, I'm coming after you!" Nick yelled.
The paramedics came into the room with a stretcher and began attending to Jim. He would have lost a lot more blood than he had if Catherine hadn't of kept pressure on his wound. They loaded Jim on the stretcher and wheeled him out to the bus. Catherine pulled on a pair of jeans and followed them. She was still wearing Jim's shirt, which was now covered in his blood.
Nick followed the ambulance in the SUV. He stayed on its tail the whole way. Which, under different circumstances, would have been illegal. But given the situation, Nick didn't give a shit right now what was legal and what wasn't. One of his best friends was fighting for his life in the back of that bus and he wasn't going to lose them.
-------------------------
In the ambulance, the paramedic was working on Jim, while Catherine sat beside him and held his hand. Catherine couldn't believe this was happening. She and Jim had just started a relationship and now she might lose him. She couldn't let that happen. Not now, not when she and Jim finally found love with each other.
Love. Catherine thought about that word, while she held on tightly to Jim's hand. Yes, she was falling in love with Jim Brass, but she could feel him slipping away. "No, Jimmy, you hang on. Don't you dare let go." Catherine said.
The bus pulled up to the emergency room doors; the paramedics jumped out and rushed Jim inside. Nick pulled into the parking lot and followed Catherine inside behind the stretcher. Andrea was there when they came running in with Jim.
She ran over to the stretcher and realized it was Jim lying there. "Oh my God, what happened?"
"He has a gun shot wound to the abdomen. He's lost quite a bit of blood, but we've managed to stabilize him."
"Get him straight into the OR." Andrea said and then saw Catherine and Nick standing there. "What the hell happened?"
"Peter showed up at the hotel and told Jim to leave town. Jim told him he wasn't going anywhere and that's when Peter pulled his gun."
"Wait! What, Peter shot Jimmy?"
"They were wrestling for it on the floor when it went off."
"Okay, I have to get in there. I'll let you know what's going on when I can, okay?"
"Okay. Just take good care of him, please." Catherine said as the tears started to fall again.
"I will. I promise." Andrea said and took off toward the OR.
-------------------------
Catherine and Nick were in the waiting room. Catherine was completely going out of her mind. She was praying that Jim would be okay and they would be able to have a life together. She sat down in a chair, put her head in her hands and began to cry again. Why did this have to happen? Why now, when they had finally found some happiness with each other and now it could all be taken away.
Nick moved beside Catherine and pulled her into a hug. He knew he wasn't the one she wanted right now, but he was going to try and comfort her the best he could. "Cath, he's gonna be all right. Jim's a tough son of a bitch."
"I know he is, Nick, but he lost a lot of blood." Catherine said looking down at Jim's bloodstained shirt that she was wearing.
"And he would have lost a lot more if you hadn't of been there. You saved his life, Cath."
At that moment Andrea came out from the OR and approached Catherine and Nick. When they saw her they both stood up. "Andrea! Please tell me he's okay." Catherine said frantically.
"I removed the bullet and stopped the bleeding. He's stabilized for the time being and I'm confident he'll make a full recovery. Jimmy's tough. He's been through worse and survived."
"Can we see him?" Nick asked.
"In a few minutes. We're getting him situated in a private room. When he's settled I'll come back and get you, okay?"
"Thanks, Andrea." Nick said. Andrea walked off and Nick pulled Catherine into another hug. "See, I told you he'd be fine."
"I don't want to lose him, Nick."
"You won't. Jim's gonna be around for a long time. Trust me."
-------------------------
A few minutes later, Andrea came back and showed Nick and Catherine to Jim's room. They walked into the room and looked at Jim lying in the bed. He looked pale and fragile and scared the shit out of Catherine. She sat down in one of the chairs by his bed, while Nick took the other one.
Catherine reached out and took Jim's hand. At least he felt warm. That eased Catherine's mind a little but it didn't stop the tears from falling. The man that she loved was lying in a hospital bed. Wait! The man she loved? Yes, Catherine loved Jim Brass and she wasn't going to lose him now.
Suddenly she swore she felt Jim squeeze her hand and she looked up at his face. He was lying there looking at her, with a smile planted on his tired face. "Jim, you're awake! I was so scared I was going to lose you." Catherine said.
"Never. I'm not going anywhere. You're stuck with me, Cath."
"How you doing, Jim?" Nick asked.
"I've been better, Nicky. But I'll be okay."
"Thank God. You gave us both quite a scare." Nick said.
"Where's Peter?" Jim asked.
"We don't know. He took off after the paramedics loaded you into the bus." Nick said.
Just then Jim looked down at the shirt that Catherine was wearing. "Cath, are you okay?"
"Jim, I'm not the one you should be worried about."
"You're covered in blood. You're not hurt?"
"No. Not physically anyway. This is your blood." Catherine said as the tears fell again.
"Hey, hey, I'm okay. I'm right here. I'm never going to leave you." Jim said.
"You can't promise that, Jim." Catherine replied.
"No, you're right, I can't. But I can promise to love you while I am here." Jim said.
"Hey, listen, I'm gonna take off." Nick said standing up.
"You don't have to leave." Jim said.
"It's okay. I wanna go back to the hotel anyway. I'll bring you back some clean clothes."
"Thanks, Nicky, I appreciate it, but I'll go back to the hotel and get my own clothes. I'll need to get a shower anyway."
Nick left Jim and Catherine to be alone. Truth be told he was starting to feel a little awkward. After Nick left, Catherine turned her attention back to Jim. They looked into each other eyes and wondered why they wasted all these years apart when they could have been happy together. But the main thing was they were together now and nothing was going to take them away from each other.
-------------------------
The backroom of Bada Bing was, of course, occupied by the Soprano crew: Christopher, Sil, Paulie, not to mention that Ralphie and Nicole were there and of course the head honcho himself, Tony.
The door burst opened and Peter came barreling in. He was covered in sweat and blood. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. "Hey, Pete, what the fuck are you doing when you leaving here?" Sil asked.
"I got a major problem."
"What else is new?" Christopher asked.
"Shut the fuck up, Chrissy. What's going on, Pete?" Paulie asked.
"I went to see my brother, things got a little heated and I shot him." Peter said.
"You shot him? Did anyone see you?" Tony asked.
"Well, he's not in town alone."
"Why didn't you fucking tell us this before?" Tony yelled.
"I didn't know, Tony, I swear."
"So, where is he now?" Ralphie asked.
"He's in the hospital. The guy that's in town with him called an ambulance."
"So, who else is here with him?" Nicole asked.
"Some woman. His girlfriend, maybe, I don't know but they were in bed together when I showed up at the hotel."
"Let me handle them, Tony." Nicole said.
"Hold on. Let's just think here for a second. They know you did it, Pete, so your best bet is to get out of town. We'll take care of this fucking mess." Tony said.
"Tony, listen, me and Jim might not get along but I don't want him dead."
"I said we'll handle things, Pete. Now get the fuck out of here."
Peter left as fast as he could.
"So, T. what are we gonna do?" Christopher asked.
Tony turned to Nicole. "I want you to bring that fucking woman here. If Pete couldn't get them to leave town by talking to his brother. Maybe this broad will listen to fucking reason."
"I'm on it, Tony. I'll find her." Nicole said and left the room.
-------------------------
Catherine and Andrea were talking outside of Jim's room. "Jimmy's sleeping now. I'm gonna go back to the hotel and clean up. I'll try to be back before he wakes up. If I'm not, tell him I won't be long." Catherine said.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine." Andrea said.
Catherine left the hospital and made her way to the parking garage. Since Nick had taken a cab back to the hotel, Catherine had the SUV waiting for her. She climbed in behind the wheel and sat there for a few minutes thinking about what had happened in the last few hours.
Finally she started the engine. She drove out of the parking garage and onto the dark streets of Newark. She was relieved that Jim was going to be okay. She turned on the radio to take her mind off things but it didn't help. The song that was playing was Kidnap an Angel by Bon Jovi.
I close my eyes
Take a deep breath
Then sit down beside
Your hospital bed
If I could kidnap an angel
I'd clip off his wings
Then bring him to you
That would fix everything
The tears fell from Catherine's eyes again as she pulled up to the hotel. She parked the SUV and sat behind the wheel and cried harder than she ever had. Jim was going to be all right but Catherine was still scared about what had happened. How did things come to this?
She wiped her face and got out of the SUV. She made her way to her room. When she walked in she saw didn't see any blood anywhere. The hotel staff did a hell of a job. She walked into the bathroom and started the shower when there was a knock on the door.
Catherine turned the shower off and went to answer it. When she opened the door, Nick was standing on the other side. "Hi. I heard the door close and thought you might need some company." Nick said.
"I appreciate that, Nicky. But I was just gonna take a shower and go back to the hospital. I want to be there before Jim wakes up."
"Okay. I'm gonna go back to my room and get some sleep then."
"Thanks for checking on me, though."
"Anytime, Cath."
Nick left and Catherine went back to her shower. She stood under the hot shower and let it massage her aching and tired muscles. As much as she tried, she couldn't stop thinking about Jim. Maybe they should go back to Vegas. If it meant Jim's life being in danger, solving this case wasn't worth it.
-------------------------
Nicole went to Ralphie's house. Not for any particular reason, it was just to see him. When she walked in the door, Ralphie grabbed her and kissed her hard. When he broke the kiss he whispered in her ear. "I need you, now."
"Lead the way, baby." Nicole said.
They ripped each other's clothes off and he told Nicole to climb onto the bed. Then followed her. Usually their sex contained bondage and toys but right now all Ralphie wanted was straight sex. Something very unusual for him.
Ralphie kissed Nicole passionately. Then positioned himself gently overtop of her. He quickly and smoothly slid into her. He could feel her tense immediately around him. He began to thrust, slowly at first, and then picked up speed. Their bodies were moving at a wild pace, keeping perfect time with their much-labored breathing, allowing the pleasure to climb. Ralphie quickened the pace, he felt the tension grow as her whole body shook with her release, followed by Ralphie.
They both rolled over, panting and sweating and thoroughly enjoying the wild lovemaking session they had just both endured. Nicole looked over at Ralphie and smiled. "I'd love to stay but I have to take care of something for Tony."
"Okay. I'll see you later, right?" Ralphie asked.
"Definitely." Nicole said. She got out of bed, got dressed and left.
------------------------
Catherine was just finishing getting dressed and reapplying fresh makeup, before she made her way back to the hotel. She checked herself one more time in the mirror and left the room.
She made her way down to the hotel parking lot. Seeing Jim was the only thing on her mind right now. She made it to the SUV and was about to open the door when something hard and heavy smashed her on the back of the head. Catherine fell to the ground like a ton of bricks.
Nicole tossed the pipe into the back of her truck, along with Catherine and peeled out of the garage. If Peter's brother Jim wouldn't listen to reason, maybe this woman would, Nicole thought. But if she doesn't, her mind can easily be changed.
