Chapter Two - Knocking on Death's Door
He was so tired and his head hurt. More then once he felt like he was slipping away. And why not? The temptation to fall into darkness engulfed him……so he did.

Val sat in the uncomfortable hospital chairs waiting for word on Tyler. She shook out the memory of what Tyler had looked like coming out of the fire…. He had so many burns and trouble breathing…- No Val though to herself he'll be fine. But she blamed herself. Instead of going into the fire with Tyler she should have reasoned with him. Forced him not to go it. Hank quickly turned his gaze from her. He blamed her too. Himself as well.
"Don't die Tyler." she said to herself.

"This is the life." Jamie said to himself. Positioned all day on the sofa, watching bad daytime TV and eating junk.
"Mine if I interrupt paradise?" said Caitie walking in the back door. She walked over and kissed him. "Sick huh?"
A pathetic look fell on his face. "Deathly ill."
She threw a pillow at him. "Sure you are."
He sat up. "I have to get this place cleaned before Super Peter gets home."
"Don't look at me."
"Come on Caitie. I'll make it worth your wild." he leaned over an kissed her.
Caitie shook her head playfully. "You'll have to do better than that."
The pathetic look fell again. "Okay, Okay."
*Ring, Ring*
Jamie leaned over Caitie and kissed her again picking up the phone." Hello? Val? Yeah she's here hold on."
He handed the phone to Caitie.
" Hi , Val. what's wrong? Okay calm down. Jamie and I will leave right now …okay?…." she hung up.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Tyler…."

I know , I know I'm evil. But I'm a sucker foe cliffhanger. More to come soon….
