Bear walked down the hall, he was on his way out of briefing. Sindy followed him close behind.
"When are we gonna tell them?" She asked.
"When the time is right. I think we should tell Ponch and Jon first," Bear said. As soon as he said that, Ponch was right beside him.
"Tell me and Jon what first?" He asked. Bear looked at Ponch.
"Wow, you are a great eavesdropper," he said. Ponch smiled.
"I know, so what did you wanna tell me? Oh and Jon too, I'll just tell him for you," Ponch said.
"Awe, you are sweet, but we are not ready to tell you guys. Did you hear that part of the conversation?" Bear asked.
"Yeah," Ponch said sadly.
"Oh well, I guess I'll just be waiting for you to tell me," he said. Then he walked away.
"Now I wish I told him," Bear said. Ponch came back.
"Really?" he asked.
"On second thought…No," Bear said. Ponch walked away again. Bear and Sindy walked to the break room for coffee.
"Sindy, do you think that Ponch was just bored, and wanted to talk to us?" Bear asked.
"I don't know. Ponch always acts like that," Sindy replied. Bear sat there in silence for a while. Then they heard a loud crash, and then everything was silent.
"What was that?" Sindy asked Bear. Bear was unsure.
"I don't know Sindy, I am a little scared to find out," Bear said. Judging by the silence, he thought either it was really bad, or so devastating that everyone was left speechless. Bear walked out into the hall, and his eyes got wide. He almost threw up. There was blood everywhere. Sindy came up behind Bear,
"Barry, what is going on?" She asked. Bear looked at her.
"Ponch is dead," Bear said. Sindy's eyes got wide.
"You're kidding right?" She asked. Bear looked at her.
"You look at him, and tell me otherwise," Bear said. Sindy looked past Bear, she saw blood all over the place. There was an uncomfortable amount of evidence that proved their friend was dead. She hugged Bear, and tried to keep from crying. It was unprofessional to cry. But Bear pointed out to her, that it is inhuman not to cry when a good friend dies. Sindy looked around for any sign as to what had happened. She could tell something had been dropped, because there was evidence of broken glass. There was also no indication as to what was dropped. And it still made no sense as to how in the world Ponch died like that. He was lying on his back, his head was split open, and there were lots of spots on him that had been bleeding. This is what scared her the most though, His eyes were wide open, and he was so lifeless.
"Barry, what in the world could've happened here?" She asked.
"I don't know, but I know one thing, glass was involved and Ponch is dead," Bear said. Sindy was still shaken up by the scene. She walked back into the break room she sat down, and put her head down on the table. When she put her head back up, Bear was there too.
"Sindy, it is gonna be ok. We can get through this…together," Bear said. Sindy looked up at Bear.
"Barry, I feel like part of this is my fault. Ponch wanted to talk to us, and we didn't tell him what we were gonna tell him. Now this happened. What if it could've been prevented…."
"Sindy, listen to me, it is not your fault," Bear said. Sindy calmed down a little it felt nice to hear someone telling her that. She thought differently, but at least Bear didn't believe it.
"Sindy, we should go talk to Getraer though," Bear said. He thought it was really odd that Getraer hadn't done anything about the accident in the hallway. He and Sindy went up to Getraer's office, and found out why Getraer never did anything. Getraer was also dead.
