Rose started towards Jack screaming, but John was there in a heartbeat. He had seen Cal and had gone around his back. He now had a gun aimed directly at Cal's head. But, Cal's ever faithful bodyguard was upon John like lightening. Spicer Lovejoy grabbed John's arm and handed the gun back to Cal. Cal held the gun up to John when another shot rang out. They turned around to see their friend Fabrizio holding a gun. He had shot Cal in the shoulder. Now Cal was down and Fabrizio had a gun pointed directly at Lovejoy's head. He meant business his best friend was lying there in the dirt.

As the crowd began to surround the group, Rose ran over to Jack. He was bleeding from a wound in his arm and she tried to put something on it to stop the bleeding. That is when a kind doctor from the train came over and tried to help her. They were able to get Jack into a buckboard and they headed to the hospital.

Cal was getting no sympathy from anyone and as Lovejoy tried to find a ride to the hospital for his man he offered twenty dollars. Finally a man that had a taxi nearby agreed to take Cal to the hospital for forty dollars. That was quite a sum of money for a cab ride that was worth ten cents. The cab driver and most of the crowd laughed as Cal struggled to get into the cab. He would be in no hurry and would arrive at the hospital some twenty minutes behind Jack and he was driving an automobile, while Jack had been brought to the hospital by a horse for free.

John stayed behind and followed Cal and his bodyguard to the hospital. He wanted no trouble for Rose and her friends Jack and Fabrizio. He had been hired by a lady by the name of Molly Brown and he had almost gotten her killed. He would call Mrs. Brown and let her know what was going on as soon as he got to the hospital. She might want to come down there. Little did he know, but Molly was already on her way down there. Something was wrong and she could feel it.

Molly had hired this man John to watch out for Rose and Jack. He was said to be one of the best in the business and had been a former Pinkerton man. She knew that when Jack and his friend confronted Cal there would be trouble and she had wanted to make sure that Jack was successful in getting Rose back home. ' How could Ruth be so cruel as to force her daughter to go with a man like Cal?' she wondered. With that she had boarded the next train to Philadelphia she was on her way.

As Jack was brought into the emergency room a doctor took right over. There had been a lot of damage to the arm, but he would operate on him right away and he should be all right. But Jack was going to need blood and a lot of it. There was a test that had been done that could tell what type of blood he had and he would need someone who could match the blood.

As the call went out for volunteers to find blood that would match Jack's people came in from all around the town. Cal and his family had been long known as bullies and the average Joe was more than willing to help the man that had stood up to the horrible man known as Caledon Hockley. Rose was surprised to find out that she was a good match and with three other donors the operation was ready to begin.

With the infusion of the blood Jack had woken up just long enough to see Rose and tell her not to worry. He was so pale she was very worried, but he was young and strong. Fabrizio and Rose held hands as they waited for word from the doctor.

In the meantime Cal had arrived with his bodyguard Spicer Lovejoy. He was demanding preferential treatment, because his money had donated a lot of money to that hospital. Everyone knew who he was and what he had done and he was surprised to find a police officer there. The police officer had been sent to make sure that Cal did not leave, for he was under arrest for the attempted murder of Jack Dawson and the kidnapping of his fiancée Rose.

For today Cal would receive no preferential treatment. His father came to the hospital and watched as the doctors prepared him for surgery . Cal was also going to need a blood transfusion and his father was calling people he knew frantically trying to get some donations of blood made. But people were reluctant, everyone knew what they of man Cal was and word was spreading fast about what he had done at the train station. Finally after many attempts there was enough blood for the operation to begin on his son.

Fabrizio had been questioned by the police and he and Rose had been told that they were not going to be able to leave town until the investigation was finished. After all Fabrizio had shot Cal and Rose had accused Cal of kidnap. This was a big story and with all of the money involved the police were going to have to question everyone and be careful to cross their t's and dot their i's . But the police were also aware that Cal and Lovejoy had been known to strong arm people. But because of his position and money they had never been able to pin anything on him. Now they had attempted murder and kidnapping. He was going to have a hard time wiggling out of these charges.

The operation took three hours, but when the doctor came out of the surgery he was smiling. He went over to Fabrizio and Rose and told them "Your young man was very lucky. He is going to be all right. I see no reason that his arm won't be back to normal within the next six weeks. He will stay here for a couple of weeks and we will watch for infection, but he should be all right."

Both Rose and Fabrizio thanked the doctor and took a deep breath. He was going to be all right. She looked over and saw Cal's father. He looked so much like his son, she knew who he was immediately. He was acting like his son also, demanding yelling and threatening everyone in the hospital. She could see where Cal had gotten his manners from.

Two hours later everyone was still waiting for Jack to get out of recovery when Rose's mother came running in. She had not known what had happened until a short time ago and had come right over to check on her daughter. For all the bad that Cal had done to her, Ruth thought that there might be still some hope for him and Rose but Rose made it very clear there and then that her and Cal were done.

Ruth was sure that her life was over. She had no money and no place to live and now her daughter was leaving with some man who was no better than a hobo on the street. But, who was she to talk? She also had been living off her husband's good name. She owed everybody, she could never go back to England. Everything in the house that had been of any value had been sold and she hadn't paid the help in months. Rose was her only hope. So she b it her tongue for the first time in her life and sat down with Rose and that awful Italian man Fabrizio.

As they watched the doctor came in and talked to Cal's father. Cal had sustained a bad wound to the arm and he could have problems with it for the rest of his life. There was a good center that he could be transferred to once he had healed. But Cal was going to be all right.

So for that night a tragedy had been averted. Everyone was going to be all right. It was then that she saw her friend Joh come walking into the waiting room and behind him was Jack and her friend Molly Brown. 'What is going on here? ' Rose thought to herself as he introduced John to her mother and friend Fabrizio.
