Chapter 10

A week had passed since the heart failure and Riley still hadn't woken up. Ben begged him every day to wake up, but all he ever got was a little twitch of Riley's hand in his, or Riley's eyelids would fluttered but never opened. He only left Riley's side to use the bathroom or get something to eat or drink. He went home one time to see Abigail, clean up, change his clothes, and get a little rest in his own bed instead of a hard plastic chair. Ben was getting really worried. The wedding was next Monday on the 4th of July (of course), and today was Thursday the last day of June. If Riley wasn't there, then Ben wouldn't have his best man.

"Please wake up Riley. I need you to. If you don't wake up I won't have my best friend there at my wedding to be my best man," said Ben.

Ben felt something move in his hand. He looked up at Riley. Riley's eyelids were fluttering.

"That's it Riley, come on open your eyes," pleaded Ben.

Riley's eyes opened slowly.

"Ben?" he asked in hoarse whisper.

"Yeah I'm right here," said Ben, "How do you feel?"

"Like I was hit by a truck," said Riley quietly,"What happened?"

"What is the last thing you remember?" asked Ben.

"We were in the treasure room and the FBI came and tried to arrest Ian. And he took out his gun," said Riley.

"Yeah. He shot a bullet towards me and you pushed me out of the way. The bullet scratched the side of your stomach. The doctor said you only had a 25 percent chance of living. But you proved him wrong," explained Ben.

"Yeah I guess I did," said Riley.

"I better go tell him your awake," said Ben.

"Alright," said Riley.

Ben left to get Dr. Howard and call Abigail.
