Chapter Thirteen
"WHAT!" Everyone in the room shouted in shock
"Is he alive?" Colby asked, horrified
"Yes, but he is being taking in for both a chest shot and a head shot," David said grimly, "It is not looking too good."
Alan clutched his hands with Robin and Charlie, fearing that the worst has yet to come, something he just couldn't believe.
"What do we do?" Amita asked
"I already have a few agents posted in and around the hospital prior to Merrick's shooting," David explained, "I was considering getting you guys to a safe house but with recent developments, I believe it is best to keep you guys here for now until we have more information."
Charlie was secretly more relieved than anything that he and his family were allowed to stay at the hospital for the time being. He was afraid that if they left, he would never see Don again, alive or dead, and he wants to be here when Don is taken out of surgery. Charlie needs to be reassured that his brother will be all right and will make a full recovery.
"Is there anything else we need to know?" Alan asked
Before David could answer the question, a nurse came into the room with some more news.
"Agent Eppes is out of surgery now, we are moving him to a recovery room before we put him in ICU." The nurse said with a hopeful smile.
"Will he and Megan be in the same area?" Larry asked, trying to be hopeful for the best but still bracing himself for many possible outcomes.
"Yes," The nurse said, "And Megan is already in the ICU, if you want to head on over there now."
Larry looked at Charlie and Alan, wondering if he should go, when Charlie answered for him.
"Go on Larry, we will be waiting for Don anyway, and I'm sure that Megan would appreciate it." Charlie said with a sad smile
"Thank you, Charles," Larry gratefully said as he left the room
ICU-Megan Reeves's room…
Larry made his way to Megan's room, and he was shocked to see her on a ventilator and saw her not moving at all. It made him wonder if she was even aware of what was going on around her and if she could hear any of them.
'Hang in there Megan,' Larry thought to himself, 'There is so much I want to talk to you about, to ask you…'
Larry pulled a box out of his pocket, something he had been hiding from the others, as he wanted to wait until after tomorrow, and opened it, showing a simple diamond ring.
'Hang on, least so that I would be able to ask you to marry me.'
