Claire sat on her couch. She could not believe it. Just a few moments ago she got a phone call from a hospital in Texas. They told her Nathan had been shot and was in the Odessa hospital. She had no idea how they knew who she was, but Claire didn't really think about that.
She had to go see Nathan, her real father. Of course her mother would never allow it though.
'I have to try'
Claire wiped away a few tears and stood up. She took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen where her mother sat. She too had heard about the shooting. Her mother looked up from what she was doing when Claire walked in. "M-mom..." Claire managed to say "Mom...I have to go see him. He's my dad and I have to be there. Ple-" Her mother cut her off. "Claire, hurry up and pack, i'll take you to the airport."

It was three hours later and Claire was leaving an airplane. Her mother and Lyle had stayed home while she flew all the way to Odessa, Texas. After she left the airport Claire went outside. It was a sunny warm evening. Not the appropriate kind of weather for what had happened.
'Sombody had tried to kill Nathan'
Claire hailed a taxi and got in, the driver was a young looking man wearing a backwards baseball cap. She gave him directions to the hospital where Nathan was and sat back.
Over the past few hours so much had happened. Nathan had been shot. Who shot him? Claire tried to think of all the possibilities but her mind was sort of foggy. It couldn't have been Sylar, that guy had died. So who else was there? Why would sombody want to kill Nathan? He had been giving some kind of press confrence, that's all she knew.
It was completetly unbelievable, Nathan had been shot. That's impossible, Claire though. This can't hapen to Nathan. But it had happened.
"Hey ma'am, we're here" the cab driver announced, pulling up in front of a large hospital Claire had been to once when she was really young. She paid the driver before grabbing her bag and getting out. he pulled away leaving her standing alone in front of the hospital.
She walked inside and went to the front desk. After telling the nurse who she was looking for Claire walked away looking for the room Nathan was in. She couldn't see him because he was in surgery.
Caire walked down a long hallway. The floor had white and black tiles. She stared at them as she walked. Finally Claire found the room she was looking for. Outside of it sitting on the floor so he was leaning against the wall, was Peter.
