Chapter One:
Val sat in the waiting room chairs of the hospital and sighed. She again picked up her bag and rummaged through it. Taking out her journal she began to write:
Life is funny sometimes, the way it works out day to day. You never really know what will come or where you will end up. Dad's heart attack is proof of that. So I suppose it is only natural that one day we would find one of our own here in the hospital. Yet, it does not make the situation any easier or offer any comfort. It does not change the fact that we still sit here waiting for word of what is happening behind those closed doors. I can only hope that the twisted ways of fate that brought us here will bring us all out of this safely. That this crazy, sudden, scary moment will pass and we can again focus on the safe and superficial things. That the door will open to that other room and we'll be told that everything is going to be okay. But truthfully, I have not been this scared in a long, long time.
She sat up and stretched and closed her book, placing it back in her bag. Hank and Tyler were making their way back from the soda machine. They eyed her hopefully, questioning, anxious looks on their faces. Val smiled and shook her head; there was no news. And they joined her in a seat, slightly dejected.
It had been two ours since Jaime collapsed in the station. Two hours without knowing what was happening. Two hours and his parents still had not been found. So the three EMTS sat and waited, doing the only thing that they could do.
