At one o' clock that morning Pam ran into the Children's Hospital. She'd gotten a call at work saying Chase had been attacked at work. That was all she knew. She went up to the information desk.
"May I help you?" The woman behind the desk asked.
"Chase Logan."
"What is your relation?"
"I'm her mother."
The woman behind the desk typed a few things into her computer. "She's is in the ICU, sixth floor."
"Thank you."
Pam went up to the sixth floor. She told the people who she was at the desk. A few seconds later the doctor came out.
"Mrs. Logan?" She asked.
"Miss." "What happened to my child?"
"Apparently the diner she worked at was robbed." "She has a stab wound on her left side and a slit throat."
"A slit throat?" She said with tears in her eyes. "Is she going to be ok?"
"At this point it's touch and go." "Due to the slit throat she's needed several blood transfusions." "Her trachea was sliced clean through." "We've repaired it with surgery but she's not out of the woods yet." "She's on life support." "All we can do now is wait and hope."
"Can I see her?"
"Yes but two detectives want to talk to you first."
At six o' clock in the morning Angela was getting ready for school. The phone rang.
"Hello?" Angela said expecting it to be Chase. It was Pam. "What?!" "Oh my god." "Can I come down?" "I'll be right there."
Trevor just got to his first class. He was worried Chase. She was supposed to call him when she got off work last night and she didn't. The principal came on the PA system.
"Attention students, it has come to our attention that fellow student Chase Logan was attacked last night." He said. "The extent of her injuries are unknown." "Let's all take a moment of silence and prayer for her."
Trevor was immediately horrified.
He ran out of class and to his car. When he got to the hospital he went into the waiting room where Pam and Angela were.
"Hi Trevor." Pam said. He could tell Pam and Angela had been crying. "I would've called you but I didn't have your number."
"What happened?"
"The diner was robbed." "The person stabbed her and…Tears formed in her eyes. "The person slit her throat."
"Is she alive?" He asked with tears in his eyes.
"She's on life support, she may or may not make it."
"No."
"We just need to pray."
"Can I see her?"
"Yeah." "She's through the double doors third door on the left."
As soon as Trevor left to see her Randy came into the waiting room. Angela hugged him crying very hard.
"Her throat was slit Randy." Angela said through her tears.
"What?!" He said shocked. "Who?"
"The diner was robbed." "She can't die, she can't die." Randy started to cry a little.
Trevor went into Chase's room. A long blue tube was in her mouth and her throat was heavily bandaged. He sat down and held her hand.
"It's ok, I'm here and I'm not leaving your side." "I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you." "I know you're gonna be fine." "You have to be." He said with tears coming down his cheeks. "I love you."
