JOE

I came back to reality very quickly. I was no longer laying on the cold floor, instead a soft bed. My eyes opened slowly to see darkness around me, I blinked a couple of times to try to see better. It looked like I was in a hospital room. Memories came flowing back to me as I remembered timbits of the past days events; the imposter Tom, Maurice being killed and Frank, Biff and Chet finding me. I moaned slowly as my head pounded with the details.

"Joe?" A voice asked me cautiously. I heard shuffling to my right. Frank's blurry face came into view."Fr..Frank?" I whispered out to him.

"You're awake? The doctor said you wouldn't be awake for some time. How are you feeling?" Frank's face was filled with concern.

"Can you stop yelling?" I asked softly, eyes flickering.

"Sure, sorry" My brother said a lot softer, "How do you feel? He asked again.

"My head is pounding and I can't see very clearly" I breathed out.

"That's too be expected, you have a pretty bad concussion" I looked at Frank, he had tears in his eyes.

"You okay?" I asked him.

"I'm fine" He answered quickly, rubbing his eyes.

"You don't seem fine" I questioned Frank, he looked away.

"Joe… This is all my fault…" My brother whispered to the ground.

"Wait, what? How was this any of your

"If… if I would have noticed early, if I would have acted on my suspicions, then you wouldn't be hurt in the hospital."

"Don't blame yourself, not even for a second" I grabbed Frank's hand and held it closely, "This guy was good, he wasn't playing around".

"It's hard not to blame myself… Who was this imposter Joe? Why did he look so much like you?" I was afraid of these questions. As soon as my family knew the answers, everything would be different. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"I...I don't want to talk about it" I whispered quietly.

"You know who he is, don't you?" Frank asked quietly. I nodded slowly, "I.. I didn't want to tell you this now, but that guy is still out there Joe. He could come back to finish what he started." I inhaled quickly at this information and moaned in pain. My ribs throbbed at the sudden impact.

"Hey, easy." Frank's voice was filled with concern, "Maybe you should rest, take a nap. I'll be here when you wake up. There are police outside the doors, you're safe. He's not going to hurt you." I nodded, "I love you baby brother and I'm so glad that you're okay." Tears appeared in my eyes as I thought of what Tom had told me. Frank wasn't really my brother, we weren't related. I couldn't bare to tell him this because I knew things between us would be forever changed. "Joe, you're okay. I'm right here" Frank stroked my head softly as the tears continued to fall…
