"Miguel," Kay's voice broke with emotion as she finally spoke, "hold me, please."
Miguel put his arms around Kay and rocked her back and forth until she was asleep. He kissed her forehead as she drifted back to sleep.
Ryan walked into the ER waiting room, "Where is Kay Bennett's room, please?" he asked the receptionist. She gave him directions and walked into the hall leading to Kay's room. The sound of Ryan's heavy boots smacking into the floor echoed through the silent halls. He reached her room and peered through the opening. He pulled a gun from his jacket pocket and aimed it at the sleeping Kay. His finger reached the trigger, sending an echoing, deafening sound through the room.
Kay jerked into conciousness screaming for help, "Shh, shh, Kay, it's alright now," Miguel said rubbing Kay's back and rocking her back and forth. She cried again and this time no end came to her tears.
"Kay, tell me who did this to you," Sam Bennett said sitting on the edge of Kay's hospital bed. Kay shook her head and clenched her eyes closed. Sam out his hand on her shoulder to comfort her, "Please."
"I can't," Kay said through sobs, "he'll do it again!"
Sam wrapped his arms around his daughter as she cried, "When you're ready, I know you'll tell me."
