"My son- where's my son?" Sandy burst through the ER doors. There was confusion and chaos. Apparently they didn't get gun shot victims every day in Newport.

"Dad!" Seth called. Seth looked pale and frightened.

"Don't answer any questions!" Sandy heard Ryan's voice.

"Ryan!" Sandy called out to him. He watched Ryan turn towards him. Look at him. "Ryan are you okay?" Ryan 's feet seemed to sway beneath him. He was looking at Sandy... Wasn't seeing.

His face a mess of bruises.

He watched as Ryan swayed for another moment, and then fell.

Oh God. Sandy felt his heart stop.

Oh God. Kirsten was going to kill him. He was supposed to keep the boys safe.

"Ryan!" Marissa was screaming. Sandy pushed his way past the doctors and the police and the nurses.

He reached Ryan's crumpled body. Grabbed his hand. Checked for a pulse because he didn't know what else to do.

"Ryan! Ryan can you hear me?!"

"Dad! Dad!" Seth's voice high and panicked. "What happened?"

...If only I knew.
