The Siege and the Miracle
The hospital was now under siege. Protestors and news vans swarmed the entrance, turning their crisis into a media circus. Inside, Leo was being prepped for an emergency C-section as the sounds of the angry mob echoed down the halls. In the middle of the chaos, shielded by his father who physically blocked the door, Leo fought for his child’s life.
With a final, heroic effort, a healthy baby’s cry cut through the tension. Their son, Kai, was born, a perfect and screaming miracle in the eye of the storm. The joy was overwhelming, but their relief was short-lived. The mob outside was growing larger and more aggressive. They were trapped, with no safe way to bring their newborn home.
Their baby was safe, but they were prisoners—until a secret message arrived with an escape plan so audacious, it could only have come from the senator himself.
