Jack opens his eyes, he tries moving his arms & lets out a loud groan.

Billy:Hey. Your awake!

Jack:Hi yourself. Think you can get a doctor, my arm hurts.

Billy reaches over Jack & hits the nurse call button

Nurse comes in

Becky:Hi, your up. I'll go get the doctor.

She leaves to go find the doctor.

Billy:Will you be ok by yourself for a few minutes?

Jack:Yes.

Billy:Ok, then I'm going to go tell the others your awake.

Jack:Ok.

Billy:Just a tip but you should never get in the line of fire.

Jack:Very funny smartaleck.

Billy:You know you love me.

Jack:Yes I know, but sometimes I wonder how I ever lived with you.

Billy:That takes us back to the how much you love me deal. I'll be back.

Billy leaves Jack's room, to go find Jack's parents

The doctor comes into Jack's room.

Doc:Hi Mr.Hudson I'm your doctor, Doctor Rob.

Jack:Hi & please its Jack.

Doc Rob:Ok Jack I'm going to give you a checkup ok?

Jack:Your the doc, so fire away & please I don't mean literally. Smiling

Doc Rob:Very funny. I think you've been around your friends to long.

Jack:My arm hurts.

Doc Rob:You were shot in the arm & back. Your arm is going to hurt for a while, but we have pain killers for you & your going to have to stay off your feet so your back will get better.

Jack:So my left arm is going to be useless for a while & what is wrong with my back, & please give me the straight facts.

Doc Rob:You had a bullet in your back, it doesn't look good...

Jack:Please just tell me how bad it is?

Doc Rob:You may never walk again. Right now you have stitches in your back also.

Jack:Are you sure?

Doc Rob:I'm about 70 sure yes.

Jack:I'll never be able to carry my fincee over the threshold, or play sports, or play any kind of game that could hurt my back with April... April loves to be held & horsiesy rides. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!

Doc Rob:There some people who'd like to see you, Want me to send them in?

Jack:I don't want to see anyone. Are we clear?

Doc Rob:Yes.

Doc Rob:He doesn't want to see anyone.

Anne helds for Jack's door.

Doc Rob:Anne I'm sorry, you can't.

Anne:NO! Your wrong I can. I'm not going to let him push everyone away.

April & Myles come in

Anne:April! He can't say no to April!

Doc Rob:I think that he meant it when he said nobody, especially April.

April:I want to see my DADDY!!!
