[hr][center] [color=fff200]Assignment[/color]: [color=00aeef]Undercover- Infiltrate child kidnapping ring[/color] Interacting with [@King Tai] [/center][hr]

Angela was laughing softly at something Lara had said and she was leaning against the wall. Paige was carrying in more baby stuff into Angela's room to set up for the baby's impending arrival. Paige was as tickled about the baby as Angie was but she had to pretend that she was so so on the baby thing so as not to raise Francis' suspicions. She had just turned her head and looked at where Angie said to put the box of toys when she heard a sharp intake of breath. Paige turned her head started moving towards Angie as fast as she could. The heavily pregnant teenager was collapsing against the wall. [color=f6989d]"FRANCIS!" [/color]She screamed in panic. [color=f6989d]"Angie! Angie wake up honey what's wrong?" [/color]

Francis and Mary came running down the hall and Francis grabbed Angela up and Mary helped Lara up and they followed at a quick pace. Mary called one of the congregations' doctors while shouting orders to Ellen about clean sheets. Lara ignored her and ran into the room where Francis was laying Angie on a bed. He pulled her pants off and got her ready for inspection by the doctor who arrived within a moment or two. 

Once the doctor had arrived Lara was allowed to stay up by Angie's head. She held her friend's hand as the doctor came in and checked on the baby's progress. While he was, Angie woke up groggily and shrieked in pain as the doctor was rough with her. [color=f6989d]"Doctor please be gentle with her."[/color] Lara begged while looking at Angie's tears. [color=f6989d]"What is wrong? Why did she collapse?" [/color]Paige was worried enough that she forgot that she shouldn't ask before Francis did. He glared at her for it and she backed down. [color=f6989d]"I'm sorry, I -I'm just so worried about her." [/color]She apologized to Francis.

The doctor proceeded to give Angela a shot and it hurried her labor. Within an hour or so Angela gave birth to an imperfect baby girl. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the baby. She was deformed. Her head was misshapen and her eyes were offset from each other and her arms were of different lengths at first glance. The doctor looked at the infant and listened to it's heartbeat. He wouldn't look at Angela only Francis. Paige was panicked at the baby's condition. She covered her mouth with her hand and she cried softly for Angie.

Angela heard the baby making an odd crying sound as if it were struggling somehow. [color=f26522] "Well? How is my baby?"[/color] The doctor refused to acknowledge her and Francis said nothing as his face turned redder and redder in anger. Paige squeezed her hand and quietly and as calmly as she could told her, [color=f6989d]"Your little girl ....I'm so sorry to have to tell you but she is...not breathing right and....something is seriously wrong, maybe Down Syndrome."[/color] Paige's voice broke and Angie demanded. [color=f6989d]"You are lying! Give me my baby!"[/color] She yelled at the doctor.

Francis turned his face away and Lara took the baby from the doctor's hands gently and she handed the struggling infant to her mother. Lara watched Angie's expression as she saw the baby. Lara was surprised to see pain in her eyes, the love behind that didn't surprise her though. What did surprise Paige was what happened next.

Francis' anger was growing and within moments he had gone from a worried expectant father to a vicious and crazed maniac. He turned to Angela as she cuddled and kissed her unhealthy child. [color=fff200]"YOU!"[/color] He screamed pointing at Angela. Angie held onto her baby tightly and protectively drawing her body around it. 

[color=fff200]"You have born me a disfigured and Impure child!"[/color] 

Angie shrank back and cried out, [color=f26522]"No! She is not impure. She is not!"[/color] Paige was on the other side of the bed from Francis and couldn't stop him when he struck Angela hard across the face. She jumped when he ripped the baby from her arms and Angela slid off of the bed screaming [color=f26522]"NO! Give her back to me, please Francis I beg you."[/color]

Francis shoved Angie back against the bed and screamed at her while flinging the baby around by one arm. [color=fff200]"Does THIS look like a perfect and PURE child to you?" [/color]

[color=f26522]"Francis! No please, we can try again. I'll do anything just let me keep her."[/color] Angie pleaded desperately.

Francis dropped the baby carelessly on the chair behind him. It's squeals of pain at the cruel mistreatment loud and clear. Paige saw the baby and ran around the pair fighting and grabbed up the baby and wrapped it in a small blanket that had been brought in for the infant. She took the baby out of the room and through her tears she saw Mary glaring at her and the doctor, who refused to acknowledge the child as a human being as it was not Pure according to the laws they followed, in the hallway. 

The fighting and screaming went on for what seemed like forever. Paige didn't trust anyone to keep the baby safe and she could hear the hitting and screaming as he beat Angie. Finally a loud crash that made her jump and then the room went quiet. Mary turned away with a sour look on her face and the doctor stepped toward Paige to take the baby from her. Paige backed up and shook her head. [color=f6989d]"No." [/color]

Mary looked at her and shook her head vehemently, almost desperate. [color=39b54a]"Do not cross Francis on this matter Lara." [/color]Mary took the baby from her and put it in the doctor's hands. Once he had the infant in his hands he put it into his medical bag and left with it. 

Francis walked out into the hallway and wiped the sweat off of his brow. [color=fff200]"Mary, I believe you have a class in ten minutes."[/color] Mary scurried off with a nod of her head. Paige stood there with tears still damp on her cheeks. He stepped forward and grabbed Lara into a long hug. Francis explained. [color=fff200]"I understand you and Angie were friends and you will miss her but it couldn't be helped. She had to be sacrificed." [/color]Paige noticed that he had a crazed look in his eyes and she just tried to be obedient so he wouldn't kill her just as easily. She couldn't control the tears as they rolled down her face.

Paige barely uttered the next words louder than a whisper. [color=f6989d]"...and the baby?"[/color]

[color=fff200]"Oh now Lara you saw it. It's impurity clearly visible. It has been donated for parts to the local hospital."[/color]

Paige felt numb and terrified of this man and she could only nod. [color=fff200]"Do you understand why it had to happen they way it did?"[/color] 

He looked at her suspiciously so she nodded and in control of herself once more she said, [color=f6989d]"I weep for your loss, for the child it should have been. I grieve for the pain this day has brought and I grieve for the loss of my friend's purity."[/color] Paige put her own feelings aside as much as she could. She had to get through this or he would have her killed. 

Francis smiled, [color=fff200]"Thank you for taking the impurity to the doctor for me."[/color] She couldn't believe it, he actually thought she had been helping him when she took the baby out of the room. She said nothing but gave a half smile. [color=fff200]"You should go and pray and then go lay down and take a nap. I will join you in a little while."[/color] Paige gave a smile and nodded. She went to the church and prayed for fifteen minutes or so and then she walked back to her apartment in back and took her makeup into the bedroom and turned the tv on. 

Paige got to her mascara again and whispered a message to Darric and Blaque. [color=f6989d]"More death today. I'm scared to death. Please get me out of here."[/color] She washed her face and put her makeup on and and when she went into the other room Francis was just coming in as if it were any other day and as if he hadn't just killed a girl and her baby that afternoon. He came up to her, kissed her and took her to his bed. Paige blocked everything out and did what she had to do to stay alive. Afterwards, she couldn't sleep. She was scared and had to push it down so he wouldn't see it. She could only pray that the team would get to her before she was sacrificed for some imagined mistake.
