Chapter 11 – Recovery
Carlisle:
I was standing with the ER staff with a gurney waiting for Charlie to bring Leah in when my family began arriving. Emmett arrived with Esme who practically ran at me at vampire speed. Thank goodness Emmett had his hand on her.
"Carlisle, where is she?" Esme asked in desperation.
"She's not here yet. I'm waiting for Charlie to bring her in," I said to her.
"I'm staying here," Esme said.
"No, you need to go out to the waiting room until I finish the examination. You cannot come in with me," I said to her.
"Come on Mom, Dad needs this time to check her out. He'll call us in when he can," Emmett said tugging at her arm.
"You promise to let me see her as soon as possible," Esme said grabbing my arm with force.
"Yes darling, I have to examine her first," I said hugging her tightly.
"I want to see her as soon as she gets here then I will sit in the waiting room," Esme declared.
"No, you need to go out there and sit now. Emmett, take her out there. I'll let you know as soon as I know something," I promised her kissing her cheek.
"Carlisle, remember you promised," Esme warned me as she walked out with Emmett.
A little later, Jasper and Alice came in with Sue. Sue was just as panicked as Esme. Esme and Sue embraced and Emmett put his arms around both of them. Emmett told Sue I would let them know as soon as Charlie came with Leah and I examined her. A few minutes later, I heard the siren on Charlie's cruiser. He pulled up and jumped out of the car. He grabbed Leah out of the backseat and rushed up to me. I met him halfway.
"I got here as quick as I could. She came too and saw me and recognized me, but then she blacked out again. She hasn't come too yet," Charlie said handing her off to me. Marcie and the ER staff were right there with the gurney. I laid her down on it. "I wasn't giving up until I found her," Charlie said to me.
"Thank you Charlie, you saved her life," I said clapping him on the shoulder. "I have to go," I said to him as I rushed in after the gurney that carried Leah.
"Is Sue here?" Charlie called to me.
"Yes, in the waiting room," I shouted back.
In the ER room I assessed Leah. She was still out. When the nurses tried to get an IV started I took over because of Leah's tough wolf skin. I sent them out for other things so I could check her over. I noticed her arm and leg were broken. I quickly snapped them in alignment before the advanced healing in her took over. She was still out so she didn't feel it. After that, the healing took over and I could tell it was already working. Everything else checked out okay. She had no other broken bones which was amazing seeing that she was thrown from the car.
I needed to get her home. I didn't want x-rays or CAT scans of her, because it would show the advanced healing taking place. It would be better to get her out of the hospital so that I could take care of her at home without the wolf secret getting out. I quickly thought up a reason I could give the hospital. I had to keep her here for a little while and hopefully she will wake up so that I can take her home.
"How is she, Doctor," Marcie asked.
"She's holding her own," I said to her.
"Should I send her for x-rays?" Marcie asked.
"No, I didn't feel any breaks. She just needs fluids and to make sure she comes too. I think it would be best, if she regains consciousness, that I take her home and care for her there," I said to Marcie.
"Doctor Cullen, wouldn't it be better to keep her here? Anything can come up once you take her out of here," Marcie said.
"She is part of the Quileute tribe and they will want to see her and come to her. They don't like coming to a regular hospital. Besides, Sue is a nurse and will most probably stay at our house and I am there, it would be better in the long run," I said to her.
"Well, you're the doctor, but I would make sure she is okay first," Marcie said.
"Don't worry Marcie, I know what I'm doing," I reassured her.
After my examination Leah started to perk up and was beginning to come to. I wanted to make sure she was conscious before I went out to talk to Esme and Sue.
In the waiting Room:
Rosalie came in with Jake and Seth. Seth went to Esme and Sue and asked about Leah. He was all shook up and concerned like the rest of the children.
"What happened?" Sue asked Esme.
"From what we were told, Leah was driving and she and the three other girls were at a stop and were texting or something with their phones. The truck driver ran the stop and when they took off from the stop, they didn't notice the truck coming at them. He was looking at his phone also. He broadsided them on the passenger side and Leah was thrown from the car. She landed in the woods," Esme explained.
"Charlie, where is he? Was he at the scene," Sue asked.
"Yes, he found her and is bringing her in," Emmett explained.
"You children listen to me right now, if I ever hear or catch any of you with phones in your hands while you are driving, I will blister your butts and you will never drive again," Esme said loudly and angrily to them.
"Calm down, Momma," Alice said to Esme.
"Calm down? Your sister is in the ER because of a stupid phone. Don't tell me to calm down," Esme shouted at her. I could hear all of this from the ER.
"Sue, can I get you some coffee?" Rosalie asked her.
"Thank you Rosalie, that would be nice," Sue said. "Carlisle will come and tell us something soon, won't he?" Sue asked Esme.
"He better, he told me he would," Esme answered her.
"Charlie!" Sue shouted upon seeing him coming from the ER. She ran into his arms.
"Charlie, how was Leah?" Esme asked.
"She came to in the car and knew who I was, but then blacked out again. Carlisle is checking her out," Charlie said.
Charlie and Sue sat down and Charlie kept his arm around Sue who rested her head on his shoulder. He put his hand on Esme's hand also and smiled at her.
"Thank you Charlie, for bringing her in," Esme said gratefully.
"Sure, I wasn't coming in until I found her," Charlie said.
Seth hearing this, went to get a drink of water and then hung his head down in deep thought and then turned and walked up to Charlie and Sue.
"Mom, she's in good hands with Dad," Seth said to Sue.
"I know Sethy," Sue said smiling and grabbing his hand. Then Seth looked at Charlie.
"Charlie, th-thanks for bringing my sister in. You…I-I'm sorry…I…uh…," Seth stumbled out.
"Hey, it's okay kid, I appreciate what you're trying to say. No matter how you feel about me, I'll always look out for you and Leah and love you, even though you hate me," Charlie said.
"I-I don't hate you, Charlie," Seth said to Charlie.
"It's okay, Seth," Charlie said smiling at him.
In the ER
Carlisle:
"Marcie, get a cold cloth for her head, please," I said to her.
"Sure Dr. Cullen, be right back," Marcie said as she left the room.
"Leah, Sweetheart, can you hear me," I said putting my cold hand on her forehead. That seemed to arouse her. She moved and her eyes fluttered open.
"D-Dad? Wh-where am I?" Leah asked.
"In the hospital, baby. You were in an accident?" I explained.
"Hospital? Dad…what about my…," Leah asked indicating the wolf gene.
"Don't worry, I'm taking you home without any tests. You had a broken arm and leg and I re-set them while you were out. The advanced healing is already at work," I said to her.
"Am I okay? What about my friends?" Leah asked.
"They are okay. You had the worse injuries. They just had cuts and scratches. You were thrown from the car. You didn't have your seatbelt on, Young Lady," I said a little sternly to her.
"Oh yeah…oops," Leah said gritting her teeth.
"Leah, you could have been killed," I said putting my hand on her cheek.
"I'm okay Dad," Leah said.
"Do you hurt anywhere else?" I asked.
"No. Dad, Charlie found me and carried me out," Leah said.
"Yes he did. He wasn't going to stop until he found you," I said to her.
"I was terrible to him…," Leah said.
"Yes, you were," I agreed.
"I-I need to thank him," Leah said.
"I think that would be a step in the right direction. One I think he deserves," I said to her.
"I…Dad…I...wrecked my car," Leah said ashamed.
"You not only wrecked it, you totaled it according to Charlie," I said to her.
"I'm sorry," Leah said.
"Leah, I don't care about the car, I only care that my little wolf girl and your friends are okay," I said kissing her on the forehead. Marcie came in with an ice pack.
"Oh, I see she's awake," Marcie said placing the icepack on her forehead.
"That feels good," Leah said.
"How are you feeling? Any pain?" Marcie asked.
"Just a little, but for the most part, pretty good," Leah said to Marcie.
"That's incredible. You are a very lucky girl, Leah," Marcie said to her.
"Dad, would you send Charlie in," Leah said to me.
"Of course, feel up to it?" I asked her.
"Yes Dad, I'm okay," Leah said. After kissing her again, I left the room to go get Charlie. Marcie stayed with her.
As I walked out in the waiting room, I saw my family except Bella, Edward and Billy all gathered in the waiting room. Esme and Sue were beside themselves with worry. Charlie was trying to calm Sue and Esme down. So were Emmett and Jasper, along with Jake and Seth. When they saw me coming toward them, Esme and Sue both jumped up and hurried up to meet me.
"Carlisle, how's our little girl?" Esme asked me.
"How is she?" Sue asked also.
"She's conscious, a little sore, but she'll be okay," I said to them. They both gave a sigh of relief. The rest of the family did also.
"Can we see her," Esme asked for her and Sue.
"In a minute, she asked to see Charlie first," I said looking at Charlie.
"Me?" Charlie asked not believing what I said.
"Whoa, that's a first," Jake said.
"What?" Sue asked.
"She wants to see you Charlie," I said again. "Go ahead, go through the doors and turn right, she's in the first room," I said to him.
Charlie stood up and smiled at Sue and she returned it. He then headed off to see Leah. Esme grabbed my arm and the kids all got up and stood with me. As we were standing there, Sam came in pushing Billy in his wheelchair. When Sue saw Sam, the incident with him and Emily reared itself once more. Sue became furious at the sight of Sam approached him with pent up fury.
"You! What are you doing here? You get out and stay away from my daughter. You did enough to her already," Sue shouted at Sam.
"Sue, I just brought Billy here," Sam said.
"Sue, I asked him to bring me here," Billy said to her. "Calm down."
"I will not calm down. He hurt her and she's still hurt by him. You have no right to be here," Sue shouted.
"Sue, calm down, this is not the place or time for this. You are in a hospital and Leah is hurt," I said trying to calm her down.
"I'll calm down when he leaves," Sue said to me glaring at Sam.
"I guess that wound is still wide open," Jake said.
"Jacob, that's enough," I said to him.
"Sam, I think it may be for the best if you left now," I said walking up to Sam.
"Okay Carlisle, I wanted to see how she was. The Pack was wondering…uh…me too," Sam said embarrassed.
"Get out!" Sue shouted.
"Sue, calm down," I said to her. I walked Sam to the door, "Leah will be okay, Sam."
"Thanks for letting me know. Sorry Carlisle," Sam said and turned and left.
"It's okay Sam," I said patting him on the back.
"Calm down Sue, this kind of tension is no good for you or Leah," I said to her.
"I'm sorry for making a scene. He just has no place here after what he did to Leah," Sue said.
"He was here because I asked him to bring me," Billy said to Sue.
"I don't want him here," Sue added as she began crying. I put my arm around her and helped her to sit down. Esme sat next to her also.
In the ER:
"Knock, knock," Charlie said as he stood in Leah's doorway.
"Come in," Leah said. Charlie carefully walked in and stood by the bedside.
"You look better now than you did a little bit ago in my squad car," Charlie said smiling. "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes, thanks to you. You found me and brought me here," Leah said.
"Uh, yeah…that's right," Charlie said.
"That was very nice of you. Thank you so much," Leah said earnestly.
"No problem," Charlie said.
"Dad said you told him you wouldn't give up until you found me," Leah stated.
"I was determined to find you. I know you don't think much of me, but I care about you," Charlie said.
"I-I owe my life to you," Leah said to him.
"I'm sure you would have been okay," Charlie said.
"No, you saved me and carried me out. You did this for me even after I've treated you so mean. I-I'm so sorry, I was wrong. You're a good man and I hurt you and I'm awfully sorry I did," Leah said to him with sincerity.
"That's okay, it's in the past," Charlie said to her placing his hand on her arm and quickly drew it away.
"I won't bite," Leah said to him with a smile.
"You sure?" Charlie said cracking a smirk at her.
"I'm sure," Leah said reaching her hand toward Charlie. Charlie grabbed her hand and then leaned forward and kissed her forehead.
"Hope I didn't overstep there," Charlie said.
"No, you didn't. I'd like to start over, Charlie," Leah said to him.
"I'd like that," Charlie said to her.
After a little bit, Charlie came out into the waiting room beaming and unable to stop grinning. Everyone looked at him and knew the ice was finally broken.
"Now maybe we can all enjoy planning this wedding," Alice said happily.
"Not all of us," Jake said to her. Everyone laughed.
"Carlisle, we are going in," Esme said grabbing Sue by the hand.
"By all means, Ladies first," I said ushering them in.
Waiting Room:
"Man, Lulu's gonna get it when she's all healed," Jake said aloud.
"No kidding, I wouldn't want to face Pops after totaling the car, texting and no seat belt," Emmett said.
"Papa is going to be hard to live with for a while after this," Jasper said shaking his head.
"Dad? You mean Mom is going to be a terror to live with," Rosalie said.
"Oh no, this is going to be sheer torture," Alice said.
"You children better all learn a lesson from this," Billy said to them.
"Great, then we have him too. He's always ready to tattle on us," Jake said.
"Aren't you being a little hard on your parents and uncle?" Charlie said.
"You forgot about the Chief of Police who is family now," Emmett said forlornly.
"Great, we have Mom, Dad, Uncle Billy and now Charlie," Rosalie said shaking her head.
"You forgot one, our mom, Sue," Seth said.
"Ugh! We're doomed!" Alice said.
"Just take a look around this waiting room, this is what we have to look forward to. One false move and it's a room, no windows, hard chairs to sit on…that is…if we can sit at times, and no fun toys like our phones, IPads, X-Box, games, etc., not to mention we will probably all be grounded and driving privileges taken away…man this sucks! Thanks a lot, Lulu!" Jake said with disgust.
"You better hope she is okay," Charlie said.
"Yes, there is more to be worried about here than just your hard luck you foresee," Billy reminded them.
"Uncle Billy's right, our sister is hurt and I hope she will be okay," Rosalie said.
"Get a load of Miss Family all of a sudden," Jake said teasing.
"I've always cared about the family, it's you I could care less about," Rosalie said to him.
"Hey, I'm family," Jake barked back.
"In your dreams, Harry is more family than you," Rosalie came back sharply.
"You take that back! You give the whole family a bad feel," Jake yelled at her.
"Hey! That's enough! This is a hospital and you two will act like civilized people. Now Jake you sit at one end of that row of seats and Rose Bud, you sit at the other end of that row," Billy ordered them.
"Uncle Billy! Really? Me?" Rosalie asked.
"Yeah you, you started it," Jake said snidely to her.
"I did not, you did," Rosalie shouted back.
"I believe your uncle gave you instructions and you better follow them right now. I can hear you two in the ER! This is a hospital and you will conduct yourselves with manners and respect for the patients and visitors here. If I have to come out here again, you two are in for it when we get home," I warned them.
"Yes Dad," Jake said plopping down in the chair.
"Yes Daddy," Rosalie said sitting down.
"Daddy, how's Leah?" Alice asked.
"I think she will be okay, she is just a little banged up," I said.
"Whew, that's good news," Charlie said.
"Can she come home tonight?" Rosalie asked.
"Yes, after a bit," I said.
"That's great Dad, I knew you would take care of her," Seth said. "Can I see her?"
"Of course, come on Seth," I said motioning him in.
In the ER:
As we walked back into Leah's room, both Esme and Sue were sitting on either side of Leah fussing over her. She was alert now and was answering their questions and smiling with them. Neither one of them could take their hands off of her. Each either had Leah's hand or her arm or face they were caressing. She was certainly the center of attention. I was relieved to see her responding and they even had her sitting up.
"How are you feeling, Leah?" Seth asked walking in and breathing a sign of relief.
"Better now, are the others at home?" Leah asked him.
"Just Bella and Edward. Everyone else is in the waiting room," Seth informed her.
"Everyone? Really?" Leah asked shocked.
"Leah baby, why are you so shocked?" Esme asked her.
"I-I didn't think they would all come for me?" Leah said.
"Why not? You are their sister and they love and care about you," I said to her.
"I just can't get used to…to others caring for me," Leah admitted.
"Leah Cullen, when are you going to realize what you mean to this family and that you are loved and cherished," I said to her with a little anger.
"I…I know you and Mom feel that way, but the others…," Leah started.
"The others love you as their sister and a member of the family. Get that through your head, little lady," I said to her.
"Baby, we love you and when we heard you were in an accident, everyone was upset and wanted to come. Bella was upset she wasn't allowed to come and had to wait at home, otherwise she and Edward would be here," Esme said.
"You have to allow them to love you also, Leah," Sue said to her.
My phone rang at that moment, I saw that it was Edward. I stepped further back in the room in order to take the call.
"Hello Edward," I said.
"Dad, how's Leah? Is she alright?" Edward asked.
"Yes, she is okay now. I'm keeping her here a little longer but we need to get her home because of the wolf thing," I said softly to him.
"Yeah, I was thinking you would be on your way by now, that's why we were worried. Alice didn't send me any info," Edward said.
"She can't, the wolfies are too close," I said.
"She could have texted me," Edward said.
"Too much going on son, we'll be home soon," I said to him.
"Okay Dad. Tell Leah we love her," Edward said.
"Just a minute, you tell her that," I said handing Leah the phone.
"Edward?" Leah said.
"Hey, how are you?" Edward asked.
"Better, thanks for calling," Leah said.
"Bella was going nuts. Alice can't send any telepathic email since Jake and Seth are near and of course she didn't text us," Edward said.
"Oh yeah, I keep forgetting we block her abilities," Leah said.
"Dad said he's bringing me home later. Hope that goes okay," Leah said.
"I hear you, you're feeling you might want to stay in the hospital where it would be safer for you," Edward laughed.
"How'd you know," Leah asked snickering.
"Been there, done that. I was the first, remember," Edward laughed. "You'll be safe for a while."
"Uh…yeah…for now," Leah said.
"We love you, and so does Dad," Edward said.
"That's the problem," Leah hedged.
"Alright, enough," I said grabbing the phone and giving Leah a serious look. She was smiling from Edward's conversation but her smile gradually faded when she saw the stern face I was now showing her.
"We'll be home later," I said to Edward.
"Bye Dad," Edward said and hung up. Esme and Sue noticed Leah's sober expression. They both exchanged a knowing glance.
"Sweetie, when we get home and get you settled, I'll make you some nice hot tea and some soup if you want," Esme said to her.
"That sounds nice Mom," Leah said.
"Esme, Carlisle, could I spend the night and be with Leah this evening?" Sue asked.
"Of course you can, you're welcome anytime," Esme said to her.
"Sure Sue, that would be nice for Leah," I agreed.
"I'm going to leave now and have Charlie run me home to get some clothes and I'll call when I am ready and see if you are still here or at home," Sue said.
"That will be fine. We shouldn't be here much longer," I said.
"See you in a bit," Sue said as she kissed Leah and left.
"I'll go out," Seth said.
"NO! Not yet…stay," Leah said to Seth.
I could feel Leah's uneasiness knowing she was not looking forward to being alone with me and Esme. I didn't want to cause her anymore stress and I told Seth to go out and let the rest of the family come in two by two. I told him to start with Alice and Jasper, then Rosalie and Emmett, then Jake and Billy. That occupied the time and she was able to hold a conversation with each of them. After they all got to see Leah, they began leaving and it was just me, Esme and Seth left. I decided to allow Seth to stay with Leah since she would feel better having him as a buffer. I checked on the 3 other girls in the car with Leah and their tests and x-rays came out okay. I sent them home with pain relievers. They fared better than Leah, but then again they had their seat belts on. The truck driver was okay also. He was released by the other physician.
After checking her over again, I deemed it was okay to move her and we got her things together and headed for home. Before we left, I cleared my schedule and took 2 weeks off from the hospital. I needed to be at home and to keep an eye on Leah to make sure no ill effects came up. We then loaded her in my car and headed for home. I noticed Seth grab Leah's hand in the backseat and they held hands the whole way home.
Sue had called right as we were leaving and I told her to just have Charlie take her over to our house. That way Bella could see Charlie also. When we arrived, Sue and Charlie were there. We pulled up to the front of the house and as I picked Leah up to carry her in, Charlie came rushing out the door and down the steps.
"Wait a minute, Carlisle. I have to get my gun," Charlie shouting racing to his police cruiser.
"Your gun, what for?" I asked him. At that moment Sue, Jake and Rosalie came out.
"No Charlie, wait," Rosalie called to him.
"Don't go in there Carlisle. There's a skunk lose in the house. I walked in with Sue and it was staring at me on the stairs," Charlie said getting his gun ready. "I'll take care of it."
"No Charlie, it's just Chester," I said to him.
"Who's Chester? You better tell him to take cover so the thing don't spray," Charlie said making sure his gun was loaded.
"No Charlie, it's Chester," Seth said.
"Who cares about Chester, there's a skunk in there," Charlie yelled.
"Charlie, Chester is the skunk. He's a pet," I said calmly trying not to laugh.
"He's my pet skunk Charlie. Come meet him," Seth said running into the house.
"Did he say pet skunk?" Charlie asked looking at me and Esme.
"I'm afraid so," I said.
"Charlie, he's really very sweet. I love him," Rosalie said as Seth came out with the skunk.
"Watch out! He might spray us. Get back," Charlie said to me, Esme and Leah.
"Get this," Seth said to Charlie. He put Chester on top of his head and he curled around his head in the "Daniel Boone" pose.
"You sure that thing won't spray," Charlie said cautiously.
"He can't, he's de-skunked," Jake said. "Took the poor thing's dignity away from him."
"We had his spray gland removed. Come here, Chester Stinky Lovely Le Fleur," Rosalie said grabbing him from Seth and cradling him in her arms. Chester just melted in Rosalie's arms.
"Now I've seen everything and I thought you kids morphing into wolves was something," Charlie said.
"What's the matter, my friend? Afraid of a little kitty cat," Billy teased Charlie as he rolled out on the porch.
"Kitty cat my a##," Charlie said. "Oops!" Charlie put his hand up to his mouth and looked at me.
"Charlie! Language!" I said laughing. Even Leah laughed a little.
"I told you, never a dull moment here in the Cullen household," Billy laughed.
Sue helped us bring Leah in and I carried her up to her room and Esme and Sue got her settled and in bed. Esme asked if she wanted anything. She said she was hungry so Esme had Rosalie make her some tea and soup.
"Charlie, how did this accident happen," I asked him. Everyone else was eager to hear.
"Well, from what the witnesses say, Leah and the four girls were at a stop and they were fooling around with their phones. Leah was driving but she was looking at the other girl's phone. They were stopped at the stop sign, the truck driver was also fooling around on his phone. Leah had stopped and looked and started through the intersection and thought the truck would stop at the stop sign. He didn't and ran the light. He broadsided her on the passenger side. The impact threw Leah out the window but the others had their seatbelts on and they were bruised and cut. No seat belt on, Carlisle," Charlie said making a point.
"Yes, I heard that she didn't have hers on," I admitted.
"Lulu's in trouble," Jake said shaking his head.
"I'll say, wait till Pops gets a hold of her," Emmett added.
"She better get in trouble," Billy said. "She knows better."
"I don't ever want to catch any of you kids on your phones while driving and you better make sure your seatbelts are on," Charlie warned them all.
"Yes, I highly recommend you follow Charlie's orders," I said in agreement.
"Yes, always where your seatbelts," Billy added.
"Oh you're a good one to talk, I always have to remind you to put your seatbelt on," Charlie said to Billy.
"Oh you do, do you? Chief Black, is that true?" I said questioning him.
"Hey, wait a minute," Billy said.
"Ah ha ha ha! You got caught again! You and Leah are in big trouble now!" Jake teased.
"Hush up, Jacob," Billy said to him.
"Jacob is right," I said to Billy.
"Ha! Even Dad agreed with me," Jake said to Billy.
"I can't be in trouble," Billy said to me.
"Why not? If I catch you driving without a seatbelt, your van keys are mine," I said shaking my finger at him.
"Of all the…wait a minute," Billy said looking at Charlie.
"Don't look at me, I agree with him," Charlie said to Billy.
"You keep your mouth shut, Jacob," Billy said angrily to Jake.
"Jacob has surprisingly shown good driving skills and etiquette. I only had to take his keys away once," I said to Billy.
"Yeah, and never again. I learned my lesson," Jake said proudly. "You're supposed to be an example to us, Chiefy Wiefy!"
"Billy's in trouble! Billy's in trouble," Emmett teased.
"Oh, Uncle Billy! You naughty uncle," Rosalie said shaking her head. The others joined in taunting him also.
"Don't get in trouble with Papa, Uncle Billy," Jasper warned.
"Not a good idea," Alice added.
"Hey, I'm not one of the kids, you know," Billy said.
"Stop acting like one. You're supposed to set a good example, Billy," I said scolding him.
"Don't think he won't take your keys away," Jake taunted Billy.
"Are you sure Carlisle didn't adopt you too Billy?" Charlie teased him.
"I'm beginning to wonder. Next thing you know, my last name will be 'Cullen'," Billy said.
"Hmm, that doesn't sound too bad," I said rubbing my hand on my chin.
"OOoohhhh noooooo!" Billy said backing away in his chair. The house exploded in laughter…
To Be Continued…
