CHAPTER 7
Earlier in the morning a duck had came to Sonny's door and it scratched as it always did when it came for a visit.
Sonny saw it had some very bad injuries and Sonny knew that the poor duck was not going to last long and so he did not want it to die out in the cold alone and so he had taken it to his basement and that's where the little white duck lost too much blood and died on a soft warm blanket not the wet cold clay of the lake.
Sonny took the little duck up the stairs in an old bath towel and he buried the little bird.
Will drove around all night looking for Sonny and He had looked until dawn and still he did not find him Will was terrified that Sonny had tried to leave town when he knew that he should not be driving at all because of his headaches and so he looked at the office parking lot and Sonny s car was still there and he searched the whole firm Sonny was not there.
Will sat down and he got a call and it was from the county coroners office and they said Mr. Horton are you looking for a man in a suit who has black hair olive skin and very dark thick black hair?
Will said in a terrified voice yes I am.
Mr. Horton we need you to come down and to see if this John Doe is the man as to whom you have been looking for. Will put the address in his GPS and he was terrified and crying the whole time and said to himself damn you William Horton you are such an ass if this is Sonny and you caused this to happen you just as well have killed him yourself. Will just cried and he finally got to the office and said to himself I can't do this.
I just can't and a voice said grow a pair and get in there you have no choice. Will walked up to a man in a white coat and said I was called to identify a John doe that has been brought in.
The doctor said you must be William Horton?
Please walk this way. Will followed the doctor to the elevator and they went down to the basement door and the doctor came to a stainless steel door and he opened the door and he went to a drawer and pulled it out and Will broke down sobbing as soon as he caught a gimps of the thick raven colored hair that was sticking out from under a white sheet the doctor pulled out the drawer and pulled the sheet down revealing the mans face and it was not Sonny.
Will was crying in relief and said no doctor this not the man who I am looking for.
Thank you for calling me.
It came to Will that he may be able to access Sonny's voice mail and so Will had called Sonny's voicemail. voicemail Will heard all of Sonny s messages were
Will and they went back to 4 months ago and no one but a few doctors offices reminders of appointments and there was one from a lab from the morning telling Sonny that he had cancer and that he needed to call them back because they need to explain somethings and then another one that said Mr. Kiriakis this is Dr Samuelson and I just wanted to tell you that we made a mistake and you do not have stage 3 cancer it is at stage almost 2 and you will begin to start feeling allot of things changing your moods will be every where and you may over react to the tiniest of things and also your headaches are going to cause more black outs and some memory loss after them and as it progresses your memory will get worse and worse and you will become more frightened and disoriented and you are going to have to have someone who understands that these changes are coming from the cancer and that you do not have any choices in your behavior and they are going to have to remind you that it is time to eat and if you become belligerent about eating you are going to have you have a stomach tube and you are most likely have to be placed on a ventilator when that happens because you are going to need sedation and you can be at home but someone will have to be with you at all times Mr. Kiriakis if you have a partner
fill him in on everything so that he does understand I know that you talk about how much you love Will
and have loved him for years and even before you found out about having cancer you were going to tell him and ask him to marry you so if you do please have him to understand that is not coming from the cancer but your heart because he may feel like you want to marry him just to have him around and not because you do not love him especially because of every thing that you have done for him including having personal security for him with out him knowing that just blend in with the other people on the street. If you you told him everything that you have been doing for him because you love him and you have never even told him about it he would realize that you have always protected him and taken care of him even without you declaring your love for him. Mr Kiriakis have a great day.
Will started crying and said Sonny you have had me very protected financially as well as keeping me safe and you never told me and I had no clue as to the extent of your love. You are right that doctor is very blunt and he is not anyone who will not say I am sorry or acts like he cares about your feelings just tells you flat out and to the point. Baby I have got to find you because I love you so much and I want to keep you safe no matter what.
Will was crying so hard and just sitting in the parking lot and he said Sonny Baby where can you be? A voice popped into his head and said he may be back at your house go home sitting here crying is not going to help find Sonny any faster. Will made it home after hours of searching for Sonny and it was barely daylight and still raining hard .
Will was walking up the sidewalk to his door and he was about to unlock his front door and he It was still a bit dark but Will noticed a small green light blip.
Will was thinking what could that be that is odd?
Will went down the steps to the basement door and he saw it was Sonny and he frantically tried to get him to respond several times to him but Sonny was not responding. Will knew he was ice cold and Will could not get him to respond to him but he was alive with a pulse that was a not as strong as normal and his breathing was slower but nothing dramatic and so he picked up the body of the frozen and soaking wet Sonny and as fast as he could being very gentle Will picked Sonny up who was quit a bit lighter than he was before when Will picked him up when he hurt his knee at work. Sonny had been so sick that he had lost quite a bit of weight.
Sonny Baby I have you now its going to be OK I just have to get you into something dry and in the bed and get you warm. Will said OH GOD BABY! I know that this is all my fault. Honey I am sorry I do love you and my house is as much your house is mine. I just was not thinking at all. Please Baby forgive me. Will had taken off all of Sonny's cloths and then he laid a sheet over him and discreetly put a pair of his own boxers on Sonny.
Will was looking to see if Sonny was bleeding any where but he only saw 4 scars from where he was shot years ago as well as several surgical scars but no open wounds to his astonishment.
Will had gotten Sonny dressed in his warmest sweats.
Will placed his electric blanket on Sonny as well as a couple of quilts.
