Thanks for the reviews!
Ryan Poole settled down into his office during a break from a long hour of surgery. Sighing he opened his laptop in hopes for a few moments of relaxation. No such luck. A blinking message filled the screen as he opened it.
To others it would have been written in gibberish but he knew that code well. It was something he and his little brother Riley made up to communicate when Ryan moved away. Sucking his breath he quickly broke the code, his face growing paler and paler at the minute. His little brother was being held hostage as well as Sarah and Erin. He cursed silently as he accused himself of not paying closer attention to Riley. Riley always did need looking after more then Sarah did, especially when they were kids.
Quickly he wrote down the number Riley had told him to call, saying it was Ben Gate's number.
'So much for his coffee break' he thought as he dialed Gate's number.
"Hello?" Ben snatched open the phone as he sped down the highway in hopes that Mitch had changed his name but instead all he got was a stranger's voice.
"Benjamin Gates?"
"Yeah, who's this?" Ben asked sharply, his mind not in the mood for games from tellemarketers or other people like them."
"This is Dr. Ryan Poole. I just got an interesting message from my little brother, Riley. It seems like he's in trouble, care to elaberate on that?"
Ben just sat there letting the knew news sink in. Riley had a brother also?
"Where are you at?" He decided to say, his mind burning with questions. How the hell did Riley get into contact with him and why hadn't Riley mentioned this Ryan before?
Ryan told Gates the address to his hospital.
"I'll be there in 15 minutes." Ben promised and quickly hung up the phone. Abi looked at him eagerly.
"Was that Riley?"
He shook his head.
"Nope, Riley's older brother Ryan actually." He couldn't wait to see the shocked look on Abi and his parent's faces when he turned around to look at them.
Riley quickly logged out of the e-mail account he managed to hack into as he went back to deciphering the code when Ian entered and glanced over the shoulder.
"How's it coming?" He asked.
"Fine." Riley stared at his computer as if it was the most fascinating thing in the world.
"How's the gunshot wound?" Ian asked curiously.
"Fine." Riley gritted his teeth in response. "I'll live." He added.
Ian gave a low chuckle.
"Not if I have anything to do about it." He said softly causing Riley to look up sharply.
"You want to say something to my face?" He demanded and Ian turned sharply.
"You're getting pretty bold for a hostage." He sneered threatingingly causing Riley to pale a bit.
Ian loomed over Riley with an evil glint in his eyes causing Riley instant regret what he had just said, in fact he was starting to wish he was never born...
Yeah short I know but I promise to update really fast to make up for it!
