Chapter 14
The next day after I got out of bed, I went to my Dad's office to talk to him.
He saw me coming and met me at the door. "Sapphire, I'm so glad you are ok. When I saw you lying there last night, I really thought I lost you."
I hugged him and said. "He won't be able to get rid of me that easily. For a minute I thought I was a goner myself."
My Dad held me for a few more minutes and then he let go of me and said "It's time to get back to work."
As I walked down the stairs behind my father, I started to get a pain in my side where John shot me. I leaned against the rail of the stairs and put pressure on the wound.
Jack noticed that I wasn't right behind him, he turned around and when he saw me up against the railing, he come up to me and said. "Are you ok, Sapphire?"
I looked up at him and said "I don't really know. I think John hurt me worse than we originally thought. "
Jack put his arm around me and helped me to the autopsy room and laid me on the table. "Owen, get down here and help Sapphire. She's still hurting from the bullet wound that John gave her."
Owen cane down and started to examine me. "I know that we got the bullet out yesterday. You are going to be in pain for a few days. So, I think that you are going to be ok."
I thanked Owen and slowly walked up the stairs to the main part of the hub.
Gwen saw that I was walking slow and was about to walk up to me when the alarms went for rift activity.
