Indecision
Chapter 41
Author's Note : I left things on a cliff hanger but things are far from over. Thank you all. Review!
Tree Hill Police Department
"I need to see my sons now!" Brooke demanded.
"You need to realize you're name and status doesn't mean a damn thing. The same goes for who their father is. When the law is broken. We focus on righting wrongs. And getting justice for the victim. Good natured. Low tempered young men don't just attack a boy for checking in on his girlfriend."
"Neither of you're sons cared about what the outcome would be. All they could focus on was hurting Mitchell. I guess Dan Scott's blood and lack of self control runs deep within them both. Some time in prison will fix that right up." The officer said.
Brooke felt the inner turmoil within her boiling. She debated punching this officer straight in the face. The smugness and sense of entitlement written all over his face brimming in his words. Was driving her right over the edge.
But she knew a reaction. Was exactly what he wanted.
"Ms. Davis. I can bring you to where you're boys are. They were processed and are currently being kept in a holding cell. Just follow me." The officer said.
"I'm done with this conversation. And yes i would very much appreciate that." Brooke replied. Turning from the male officer whose gaze was locked on her. As she followed the female officer through the hallway.
...
When Brooke was lead in front of the Holding cell area. The female officer paused and took out her communication device. Put it to her ear. Then looked back at Brooke.
"I'm sorry Ms. Davis. I've just be informed that Ryan and Kennedy will not be allowed visitors only legal representation. Spending anymore time here will be a waste of you're time." The woman said.
Brooke felt her heart sink.
"I will inform my lawyer that he can come in. Thank you for trying. I need to go." Brooke replied. She kept her gaze forward and left the police station.

Awhile Later
Tree Hill Hospital Parking Lot
"After you're done meeting with them. Call me i need to be kept up to date on everything happening. I'm not allowed to visit them. Just tell them i love them and that i will figure out a way to fix this." Brooke said. As the phone call soon ended.
Brooke kept taking deep breaths. Attempting to gain a grasp over her feelings that were beginning to bubble over.
She left her car and entered through the hospital doors.
"Ms. Davis. Follow me." The doctor said.
Brooke nodded her head and followed the doctor's lead towards the hallway.
...
"Once they were in a closed room. The doctor turned to her.
"Good news. Lucas is tough. He's a fighter. He lost blood. It was touch and go throughout surgery but he's stable now. Bad news the bullet pierced through his lungs. And we inserted an endotracheal tube. The purpose of that is to help him breath and protect the airway."
"An endotracheal (ET) tube is a hollow plastic tube that is placed in your trachea through your mouth. The trachea is also called the windpipe or airway. The ET tube is attached to a machine called a respirator. A respirator gives you oxygen and breathes for you when you cannot breathe on your own."
"We were able to remove the bullet and the wound is open to allow swelling to decrease and tissues to heal." The doctor explained.
"I need to see him." Brooke replied.
"I can take you to him. Keep the visit short and know he's unable to respond but can hear you." The doctor stated.
"Thank you." Brooke said.
...
"I just don't understand why or how everything got so out of control. Why would they attack you like that.?" Rosemary asked.
"Because they don't think i'm deserving of you. And their wrong. They want to take you away from me. I won't let that happen." Mitchell stated.
