"Watch out for Sammy, alright?"
"I will. But, Dad, you're scaring me."
"Don't be scared, Dean."
Dad had come into my hospital room, and he was worrying me. Why was he saying this? He leant over my bed and whispered something in my ear. Ok. 21a Parkinson st, Sebeka. Why was he sending us to Minnesota?
"I promise."
And with that, he left. It was maybe an hour later that Sam had found him and when the nurses called the time of death. 10:41am. He was dead.
The next couple of hours seemed to happen in a blur. The nurses removed Sam and I from the room, having to sedate Sam with a small dose of ketamine. I let them take me out with no argument. I realise now that I was in shock. After that, it was just a lot of questions. What were our names? What was our relationship to the patient? Did he have any funeral or health or life insurance? They went on and on, until I felt like I was going to punch the next person who asked me a goddamn question about my dad. Then some pimply, fresh out of university med student asked me about burial plans and I did snap, thrusting my fist into his pepperoni face. I got sent out of the hospital, a semi-conscious Sam following me slowly. We sat down on the curb.
"He's dead isn't he?" Sam mumbled, slurring his words from the sedative still in his system.
"You know that he is," I huffed, telling Sam to stay while I went inside to call Bobby.
"Hey Bobby, reckon you could pick the two of us up? We're at the hospit-"
"Give me a couple."
"And you're sure that he said for you to go to Sebeka?" Bobby popped open another beer as I nodded. His brow furrowed in slight confusion before settling. "I haven't heard about anything happening there."
"We'll get there as soon as we can if Dad had the balls to ask me on his deathbed."
"Don't hurry, Dean. You're father kept too many secrets. I'd hate for you boys to fall prey to one."
Hello my dears, I know that as a writer, I haven't uploaded anything in ages. AND I'M SORRY, but I'm going to try and publish a new chapter at least every fortnight (biweekly if you're American). So please review and favourite as it warms my heart. AND I AM AUSTRALIAN, so you will find some spelling different depending on where you're from.
