It was a Saturday morning when Melinda woke up and smelled coffee. She changed her clothes and went downstairs. She didn't see anyone standing in the kitchen. So she thought that Jim might be outside and opened the door but he wasn't there. She decided to have breakfast on her own till Jim would be back. After she finished it he still wasn't at home. She began to think if he'd have a shift? But they wanted to visit Beth this Saturday. It was unbelievable to Mel that he'd forget this cause he always wanted her to meet Beth although he knew that their relationship was complicated… Mel called Jim on his cell but he didn't answer. So she went to visit the fire station but Jim didn't seem to be there.

So she asked Bobby if he knew anything.

"Hey, Mel. What's up??"

"Hey Bobby… Did you see Jim today? I woke up and he wasn't at home. Then I tried to call him on his cell but he didn't answer. I'm really worried cause he was strange last night."

"Erm… Well, we called him in the night cause Tim didn't show up and all the other guys were busy. But his shift is over since 8am. He should be at home with you right now. He said something about making a nice breakfast for you two."

"Yeah, he made a nice breakfast but he wasn't at home!!! I didn't even see him today. Could you just call me if you see him?? Or…. Better yet… You could tell him to meet me at the store…"

"Okay, I'll do that… Don't worry, he'll be back!!"

"Thanks, bye."

So she walked to Village Java got a coffee and walked into her store Same As It Never Was Antiques. There was a big mess in there. Melinda wondered what might have happen here. She looked down at the floor and saw Jim's wedding ring. Where was he?? Now she was really scared.

Suddenly everything was dark and cold and Mel heard a familiar male voice. Put an end to it! PUT AN END TO IT! What did this mean? What should she finish? Had it something to do with Jim? And whose voice was it? All these questions were in Melinda's head. She just wanted to have some answers… She went up stairs, changed her clothes and drove to the store. When she arrived the saw the shadow of someone she knew but she couldn't tell WHO it was. Lost in thought she went into the antiques store. Everything was mixed up. All the stuff she wanted to sell. She didn't know why but she thought she should go down to the basement. Maybe she'd get some answers. After the first steps Melinda noticed someone lying on the cold and dirty floor. It was Jim with a bad head injury like he was hit by a baseball bat.

„JIM! JIM! Can you hear me?? OH MY GOD. What happened to you??? JIM? Who did this too you, honey??"

He didn't answer. Mel didn't know what to do. Then she remembered the thing Jim always said to her. "If you ever see someone lying somewhere seeming to be hurt try to make him or her listen to you and if he or she doesn't react, call 911. Then try again to make him or her listen to you and wait till a paramedic arrives!!" SoMelinda called 911 and Bobby came with another guy Mel didn't know. They were making some tests on Jim.

"He doesn't react on the tests. I think he is in a coma. We'll bring him to Mercy Hospital" Bobby said.
