Lola has an appointment, which means she’s been taken out of school and that the shop is being run by someone else so they can be here. It’s a general thing, a scheduled checkup, but with everything going on, with the shop and King being back and piles of things to do, she already feels overwhelemd, especially now that there’s the sound of a crying baby somewhere in the room. They’re waiting, always waiting, when there’s a boom of what she thinks is thunder, and that’s when the lights go out for a moment, a moment too long because Lola screams, and then the generators kick in, keeping the lights at now at a fraction of what they were, working overtime to power the whole place, she thinks. And suddenly, what was a boring, mostly quiet med center, was now abuzz with activity, nurses and doctors rushing around. Eden begins to rub her temples, her headache suddenly getting work. “I need coffee,” she suddenly says, looking over at her daughter who was clearly terrified. “do you want coffee? I’m going, anyway. The machines have to be working right? Or maybe a nurses station or something.” she says to the person next to her, figuring that with the storm and the blackout, they’ll be here awhile. @crystalcitystarters
The BERK-MORGAN family and the WILKES family have been feuding over power in Crystal City for decades, but with a semi understanding, things have been mostly tame between the two families, both doing their own business, but what happens when a new family comes to shake things up a bit in Crystal City?
The Jansen family has been watching from the sidelines for far too long, getting themselves mixed up here and there without a real trace, they’ve decided now is the time to make themselves known.
The Wilkes have a incoming shipment at the docks tonight, a shipment full of things everyone wants to get their hands on, and an informent has told Elias Morgan and his crew what’s going on, and they show up at the docks that night too.
But so do the Jansens, and maybe, just maybe, the informent let the Morgans know just to get all the families here at one time.
When things begin to wrong though, the backup plan is put into action, a city wide blackout, people stuck in elevators, in hospitals, and the emergency crews are sent out to each location, and with a sudden downpour of rain, it’s the perfect distraction from the shoot out at the docks.

She gets carried into the church by random citizens as they wait for an ambulance, but with everything tied up things are a little slow.
Ayla Belen, a member of the Morgan family, gets shot in the stomach at the docks, her condition is touch and go.
Chhaya Bhatt is at the Mall when the lights go out, when panic insues, she gets caught in the stampede of people, in the process of trying to stop the fall, she breaks her arm.
Emmanuel, a member of the Jansen family, gets killed at the docks.

The silence was a godsend. In a hectic hospital it was no surprise he’d needed to go down a wide array of halls to find a quite and empty one with a window he could crack open. After all the smoke would set off an alarm if he were to light up without some kind of ventilation nearby. Not without concentration, Mason blew smoke toward the window each time he exhaled, leaning his head against the wall next to it. All the white walls and hospital smells were trying to mess with his mind. If he closed his eyes for too long, he was no longer in a US hospital, but an Iranian one, carrying comrades bleeding and in pieces, men screaming all around at the top of their lungs in excruciating pain. Just thinking of the memories had his hands shaking violently as the broad shouldered male shifted uncomfortably where he stood. No, anything but that. Focus. You’re here, not there. The sudden sound of a voice cut trough his mental ramblings, causing Mason to turn his head, one eyebrow arched. “What?” he asked, too tired to be polite.
