CINCUENTA Y UNO


I sat on the hospital bed waiting for Dr. Cullen to come check on me. He told me this morning that they had a donor for me and wanted to operate now, but I wanted to talk to Inspector Saadi first. I wanted to know what happened last night.

Last night... God, how fast things change in the blink of an eye.

I seemed I had the biggest attack ever and when the inspector had told me the lights were on, I lost it. I felt my lungs constrict and I blacked out before I hit the floor. The inspector brought me straight to the ER and called Dr. Cullen.

I rubbed my eyes for what felt like the thousandth time, but no matter what I did, the darkness remained.

I was blind.

Oh God, I was blind.

I pulled my hair as another sob rocked through my body, wishing like hell Peter was with me.

"Jasper?"

I snapped my head up. "Who's there?"

"It's Dr. Cullen. Inspector Saadi wants to talk to you."

I heard the scrape of a chair and then felt Dr. Cullen's cold hands prying mine from my hair.

"He has news for you and I want to be here, just in case..."

"In case of what? I go more blind?" I snapped.

As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I regretted them.

"Shit! I'm sorry, Doc. I didn't mean-"

"I understand, Jasper. Don't worry," he patted my shoulder. "Should I let the inspector know you are ready to talk to him?"

"Yes, please."
