Don, Colby, David, Charlie and Amita sat in the waiting room, their heads down. The sound of the doors swinging open caused Colby to look up, and he saw Dr. Stevens walking over to the group. "So... how is she, Doc?"

He sighed. "Well, it's hard to say."

Don got up and walked over to them. "What do you mean?"

"Well, the good news is that Ms. Reeves is alive and is in surgery as we speak." Dr. Stevens explained.
David, Charlie and Amita walked over, sighing in relief.

"So what's the bad news?" Colby wondered.

"We're still not sure if she's going to stay alive." Dr. Stevens said. "It's a complete miracle with what happened to Ms. Reeves, and I'm not sure what really happened."

"When will we be able to see her?" David asked.

"Probably when she's out of surgery, so in a couple of hours." Dr. Stevens answered.

Colby nodded. "Okay, thanks Doc."


Colby and Don stood outside of Megan's hospital room, watching the nurses tend to Megan.

As the nurses exited, Don laid a hand on Colby's shoulder. "You wanna go in first?"

Colby nodded his head lightly, his eyes still glued to Megan. As Don walked away, Colby stepped into the room, careful not to wake her.

Walking over to her bed, he sat down in the chair right next to it, grasping her hand lightly.

A groan erupted from Megan's throat as she stirred, her eyes slowly opening.

"Hey, how're you feeling?" Colby asked her.

Megan grinned. "Like hell, but I'll live." As she tried to sit up, she winced in pain. "Shit."

"It's the bullet wound... you won't be able to get up for a little bit until the wound heals." Colby said to her.

Megan sighed. "Damn... and I thought that it was all just a bad dream."

Colby shook his head. "Yeah, me too."

They sat there in silence, until a tiny sniffle came from Megan, causing Colby to look up at her. "What's the matter?"

"How could I have let this happen again?" Megan whispered softly.

"You know that this isn't your fault." Colby told her. "He's a sick man, Megan."

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Megan smiled sadly. "Is he going to jail?"

Colby nodded. "Probably, but we'll have to go to court, first." Megan looked worried. "You don't have to be there if you don't want to, we'll handle it."

Megan shook her head. "No, I have to be there... I want to see him be put away forever."


Colby walked out of Megan's room, meeting up with Don and David on the way.

"So, how is she?" David asked.

"Pretty good... she's handling the situation pretty well. But I told her about the court hearing." Colby told them.
Don nodded. "What did she say?"

"That she wants to be there for it." Colby said. "And so do I... I want justice to be served for Megan and the other girls that he hurt."

David smiled. "Spoken like a true hero."

Colby grinned. "Well, nobody hurts my girl."


Don, Colby, David and Megan walked up to the courthouse, Colby's arm draped around Megan's shoulder.

As soon as they reached the doors, Megan stopped dead in her tracks. "I don't think I can do this... I can't go in there."

"Megan, it's okay... he won't be able to do anything to you in there."

Megan hesitated before nodding. "Okay."
