Tom raced through the woods and saw a black car up ahead. He parked beside it and both men got out and looked around. Then Tom noticed two forms in the snow about twenty feet into the wood. The wind began to blow as snow slowly came falling down. He starts running towards them. It seemed like it was taking forever to get to her body lying in the snow. Once he finally got there he slid in the snow and scooped her up in his arms.
She felt like a block of ice as he held her close. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her. Then he pressed two figures on her next to find a sign of life. He didn't realize that he was holding his breath and when he felt her slow but still a pulse he let out a sigh of relief.
Dennis stood behind and watched as Tom fussed over his sister. Then he looked over and saw Jeff's body not five feet away. He waked over to him and saw a bullet hole in his head. He could tell that he was already dead. He saw all the imprints in the snow and spots of red leading up to where Tom was holding Kim. He quickly walked over to them and looked down "See if she is hurt." Dennis said as he bent knelt down on the opposite side.
Tom searched her body for any sign of injury, everywhere seemed to be fine. Then he felt a stick substance under the coat that he wrapped around her. He looked at his hand and saw blood. Then he slowly removed the coat and saw blood all over her shoulder. He looked up at Dennis with a worried look.
Dennis then took off his jacket and put it on Kim's legs, then he ripped the sleeve and pressed it against her wound. Kim moved her head and opened her eyes. Her glaze went to Tom; she looked up at the man holding her in his arms. Then her glaze went to Dennis and she gave him a weak smile. She then grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly. "Dennis." She said in a small whisper as if she was in pain.
"You're going to be just fine." Dennis rubbed her hand to keep it warm.
Tom looked up at Dennis and saw a looking in the man's eyes that he has never seen before, which was caring. "We better get her to a hospital." Tom said glaring at Booker.
Tom sat in the middle of the hospital as he leg bounced up and down in nervousness as he picked at his nails.
Doug, sitting across from him, looked up from an auto magazine. "Calm down, Tom. She is going to be just fine."
Tom came out of his own world and looked at his friend "Doug, this is my sister in that room. Do you realize that I haven't seen her in eleven years and I have dreamt about seeing almost everyday as a teenager but if never happened."
Doug put the magazine down and stood up and sat beside his friend. "Tom. She's back now and she is safe."
"She doesn't know who I am Doug. She was only six when she left, she will never remember. Know how hard it is to get to know her. For her to be able to adapt to a different life style." Tom said as if he was going to break down. "Nothing will ever be the same way as it was eleven years ago." He said looking out into the distance.
"It is a horrible thing that happen but she is safe now and she will in time feel at home again." Doug said trying to cheer up his.
Tom just reminded silent, then he looked over and saw Dennis talking with Fuller, they were talking about what happen, where is happen and that Jeff was now dead. When he was done, he walked towards Doug and Tom and sat across from them. Tom couldn't stop staring at the man.
Dennis then finally noticed Tom glances. "Tom, are you okay?"
"What did you do for Jeff when you were there?" Tom asked rudely
"I basically babysat the girls. I took them places they need to go and made sure then didn't to anyone what was going on in that place." Booker said defending himself.
"What did you do with Kim?" Tom asked as if to accuse him of hurting his sister.
"Cool it Tom." Doug said as he could feel the tension but he was ignored.
"What are you implying?" Dennis said harshly as he stood up.
"Did you have to drive her anywhere? Did you have to make sure she was a good girl? Did Jeff give you permission to sleep with her?" Tom raised his voice as he stood up and meet Booker at eye level.
"I didn't touch her." Dennis growled.
"I'm sure you didn't. But the way she looked at you back in the woods tells me something different." Tom said ready to push Dennis over.
"So I kissed her once. I didn't realize she was related to you. She is nothing like you. She is better; she is not some pussy who sulks all the time. She defends herself." Booker said in Hanson's face.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD." Tom yelled and started using Booker as a human punching bag. Punching him right in the face and then in the stomach. Then he grabbed him by the collar and head butted him.
Doug tired to hold back Tom while Fuller rushed over and tried to pull back Dennis.
Dennis started fighting back and punched him in the stomach. When he felt someone trying to hold him back. Then her grabbed his Tom's wrists in order to get him to stop fighting.
"GOD DAMN IT!" Tom yelled as he pulled himself away from Bookers tight grasp. Tom held his arm close to him as if someone was going to steal it.
"I'm going to ask you to leave." A security guard said coming up to Tom.
"WHAT?" Tom said still irritated and still hugging his arm. "That is my sister in there and you want me to leave?"
Adam came up to the distraught young man "I think it might be for the best Tom. Doug will take you home." Fuller said looking at Penhall, who nodded his head in understanding.
"You gotta be joking. He should be the one to leave." Tom said making a scene. Everyone stopped to look at what all the commotion was all about.
The security guards then escort Tom and Doug out of the hospital.
"This is ridiculous!!" Tom shouted as they reached his apartment. Tom went to the kitchen and started to throw dirty plates that were still sitting on the counter from the night before.
"Tommy. Cool it." Doug said trying to calm his friend down. He grabbed his upper arms and made the man face him. "Tom' you got to settle down."
"I DON'T WANT. I WANT TO SEE…My…sister." He shouted into Doug's face and then burst into tears.
Doug brought the broken down man into the living room and placed him on the couch. "I know Tom. I know you want to see her, but you not in the best state to see her in."
"I know. Doug what's happening to me?" Tom said looking up at his friend as a tear feel from his eye.
"You haven't slept in days, you have over dosed, and you have almost bled to death. You are just a giant emotional roll a coaster right now. Tom I think you need some help before you can see your sister. She is going to need you to be healthy. So you can help her thou her emotions." Doug said to his friend.
Tom wiped his hand with his sleeve. "She didn't know it was me." Tom said softly. "She knew Dennis. She was so happy to see him."
"Dennis is a train police officer, he wouldn't touch her, and you know that right?" Doug said.
Tom slowly nodded his head and looked away from his friend. He hated Doug seeing him in such a wreck. "Doug, I need help. I want you to take me to a psychiatrist."
"Sure. I can take you to the department's psychiatrist right now." Doug said as he stood up.
Tom just nodded his head and slowly stood up. "You're a good friend Doug."
Penhall smiled "Anything for my favorite partner.
Sorry it is so short but that's all I have for now and I'm in a hurry to go. Hope you like it.
