A few hours later Sharon left for lunch and found herself at the cemetery kneeling in front of the tombstone that was supposed to mark Adams final resting place. One day she would have a stone beside his that's where she wanted to be always by his side for all eternity. She had gone to the cemetery several times but still could not make herself believe he was dead. Which is why she was here now. A man's voice startled her and she gasp turning her head. Oh Jerry! It's you. Sorry to scare you mam but I thought I was on time for our meeting. You are Jerry my mind was just off in thought, Sharon said. Have you found out any new information for me? Well yes mam I have since we last talked. I found a man who says he saw what looked to be an injured man being picked up a mile or so from the scene of the crash. He wasn't sure but it was a dark gray Ford pickup with maybe 552 or 554 in the plate number and he couldn't see the name of the state. I have a friend at the DMV and he is going to work at finding the driver of the truck but it will take some time he has determined it's not a Wisconsin plate so far. He is searching surrounding States one by one but he hasn't come up with anything so far. He has to work on it when he can if you know what I mean. Sharon grinned and said so the injured man report verifies the other two accounts that showed someone walking down the road and acting a little disoriented and bloody. Could my feelings be guiding me to Adam? Sharon thought to herself. Yes mam, ever indication is that someone walked away from the scene of the accident.

But we still need to determine if it's Adam or someone else. It may have been a Good Samaritan trying to help Adam, he said. Sharon said, or it could be Adam and the man who tried to help him is the one who died. Yes mam that is a possibility, Jerry said. We've been at this for months and we are worlds closer to some answers now mam and I won't give up. Sharon said, you can bet I won't either till I have Adam back home.

Could you check stores and other businesses in the area to see if someone left a vehicle there and hasn't returned for it? Why would someone be on the road walking and just happen to see the crash? Did they live nearby? If so you would think someone would report a person missing. Or someone would have come forward to tell their part in trying to help someone injured in the crash. But we can't rule out they were from out of town just walking around. Yes mam, Jerry said. I will definitely check in to that. Well I guess we will meet here in a couple of weeks then for an update thank you so much Jerry you have lifted my spirits. Later mam if something really important comes up I will call. And he walked away. Sharon said a little prayer and sent Adam her love where ever he might be.

There was that feeling again Joe couldn't explain it. He just knew someone was thinking of him. He told Dr. Harris what he was feeling. The DR. said, I believe there are people who have a strong bond be it love or family that just can't be broken far be it from me to call you crazy Joe. But doc I just can't recognize a face or remember a name other than Hope. Since I saw it on a tombstone I figure it's a person but what if it's not. Either way I don't feel it's this Hope I am bound to. It's hard to explain the name Hope brings me peace. Is this someone I knew or my subconscious trying to tell me not to give up hope? Whereas the bond I feel brings longing and the will to live.

Dr. Harris reinforced the fact to Joe he wasn't crazy. Joe this is our final visit your seizures have stopped and your head injury and other bodily injuries have healed nicely. As I told you by your injuries it appears you were in some kind of vehicle accident. Also keep in mind as you search for your past that one of the injuries you sustained appears to be from a gunshot it grazed you head you were lucky. And you have by all indications been shot on two other occasions. Once here pointing to Joes shoulder and here toward his side. So not everyone may be happy to see you return to where ever it is you hale from. Joe left the office with so many questions. He wondered what could have possibly put him in the position to be shot at. And who could have wanted him dead?
