Chapter 6 - Audrey Is Rushed To A Secure Elite Hospital Suite
Sirens wailed softly as a private medical transport van bearing the Moretti crest sped through the rain-slicked streets of Manhattan.
Inside the heavily armored vehicle, Rocco knelt beside the stretcher, holding Audrey’s cold, trembling hand against his cheek with fierce devotion.
“Stay with me, little bird. We’re almost at the private surgical wing,” Rocco whispered, his voice cracking with uncharacteristic vulnerability.
Audrey opened her eyes halfway, her face pale as she forced a weak, reassuring smile across her lips for her fiercely protective brother-in-law.
“I’m holding on, Rocco... for the baby,” Audrey murmured weakly, squeezing his calloused fingers with whatever remaining strength she possessed.
Within minutes, the van pulled directly into the secure subterranean ambulance bay of Mount Sinai’s restricted VIP medical center.
A team of waiting surgeons and nurses rushed the stretcher out of the van and through automated double doors into sterile bright lights.
Rocco was blocked at the red line by a towering surgical resident, but a single cold glare from Rocco made the doctor step aside instantly.

“If anything happens to her or my niece or nephew, this entire hospital will be answering to me,” Rocco warned in a dead-cold whisper.
He stood outside the swinging doors, his heart hammering against his ribs as the heavy metal portal closed, sealing Audrey inside the surgical suite.
