In Kyle's hospital room, Roxy and Layla were still fussing over him.
"Honey when you get out of here, I'll take care of you." said Roxy "I don't want you and Fish to worry about anything."
"Oliver has been gone for a while." Said Layla "Should I go find him?"
"No," said Kyle "he'll be back. He just needs some air is my bet. There's been some developments."
"What?" asked Roxy
"The bullet in my abdomen came from a different gun then the one my left leg." Said Kyle "No one saw who the second shooter was. They're still out there. Somebody wants me dead. Oliver's more freaked out about it than he's letting known. Look guys I'm scared to, but right now I need to concentrate on getting strong enough to get the hell out of this hospital bed and be able to get home. I know Oliver and I know that he's scared out his mind. He keeps saying things like 'I'm the cop, I'm the one who's suppose to be shot at.' This is scaring the fucking shit out of him."
"He loves you." said Layla
"I know, I love him to." Said Kyle "Which is why I don't want him lying in a hospital bed either."
"I know." Said Layla "But here's the thing about cops, they'd rather be shot then see someone else shot because it's their job to stop it from happening."
"Honey look, you'll be up and about in no time and Fish will stop freaking out," said Roxy as Layla and Kyle looked at her "Okay well he won't be freaking out as much."
Outside the hospital, Cristian was still comforting a crying Oliver when Antonio and Tanya walked up to them.
"Oliver." Said Tanya sitting down next to her brother, and he shifted positions to lean on Tanya's shoulder "Oh honey, it'll all be okay."
"What's the deal?" asked Antonio as he and Crisitian walked a couple feet away
"They have one shooter in custody." Said Cristian "They didn't know there were two until after Kyle was in surgery and forensics came back saying the bullets came from two different guns."
"Shit," said Antonio "and Fish is a cop, so everything is a 100 times worse."
"Yep." Said Cristian "but it's so much more than that for him. Fish spent all those years playing straight, he just got Kyle back, he can't bear the thought of losing him again."
"Love is a powerful emotion little brother, believe me I know." said Antonio looking over at his girlfriend comforting her little brother
"Tanya this doesn't make any sense." Said Oliver crying into his older sister's shoulder "Why is somebody after Kyle?"
"Oh honey," said Tanya rubbing Oliver's shoulder "I wish I had an answer for you."
"So," said Oliver quickly wiping his eyes and changing the subject "have you talked to Mom and Dad lately?"
"Well I was home for Christmas." Said Tanya "It was, well let's just say it was entertaining."
"What do you mean by entertaining?" asked Oliver
"Turns out Dad lied to Grandma about why you weren't coming home for Christmas." Said Tanya
"What did he say?" asked Oliver
"That you had to work the next day." Said Tanya "I set her straight, no pun intended. I told her that ever since you came out to Mom and Dad they haven't spoken to you."
"How did Grandma take that news, that Dad, her son, is refusing to speak to me, her favorite grandson?" asked Oliver
"She threw a hot frying pan at him." Said Tanya "It's on video, gotta love Uncle Steve and his video camera."
"Thank God." Said Oliver "I want to see that, please tell me that you have that with you."
"I figured you would, I have it back at the Carlotta's." Said Tanya "But you're changing the subject."
"No I'm not." Said Oliver standing up then helping Tanya up "I better get back to Kyle. You want to meet him?"
"Do I want to meet my little brother's boyfriend?" said Tanya "Yeah."
"Good." Said Oliver
"You coming?" asked Tanya
"Give me a sec." said Oliver as Tanya and Cristian went inside but Antonio hung back.
"Fish," said Antonio "Cristian told me that there's still someone after Kyle, I'll hang around for a bit, help John and Bo catch the guy."
"You sure Vega?" asked Fish
"Anything for a fellow cop." Said Antonio "Besides, Kyle needs you now, and not chasing after some maniac with a gun. Leave that to me and Tanya."
"Just what I need my sister going after some crazy guy with a gun." Said Oliver
"You think I want that?" asked Antonio "But hey are you going to stop her? Because more power to you if you can."
"I like my body parts where they are." Said Oliver "I'll let her do her thing."
"Yeah I've pretty learned that." said Antonio "Your sister is a spitfire."
"Yeah she is." said Oliver "But Vega, you hurt her and I'm kicking your ass."
"Understood." Said Antonio
"Thank you." said Oliver
"No problem." Said Antonio with a smile as they went inside the hospital.
Chapter 6 gave some more humor (I hope) to the story, next few chapters will be introducing Oliver's relationship with his sister Tanya, and mostly John, Bo, Brody, and Antonio working on the case. Like always Review please. Secrets will be revealed soon....I hope, it depends on how the story ends up flowing as I write. ~2rats
