Scene 5 - The Hospital
JIM
I can't believe I let this fucker kill her.
RICK
It's not your fault you couldn't have saved her.
(The threesome Gale, Rick, and Jim sit in a room in a hospital. Gale is pretty much silent, in shock. Suddenly a girl walks into the room.)
GIRL
Rick?
RICK
Allison?
ALLISON
Rick, are you OK?
RICK
Not really. At least I'm alive.
ALLISON
Thank god. I thought you were dead.
RICK
Where are Ben, and Lisa?
ALLISON
They are waiting for me to come back with good news.
RICK
Well the news isn't that good. Sidney is dead, and there maybe another death.
(Suddenly a police officer walks in.)
POLICEMAN
Ms. Riley?
GALE
Yes?
POLICEMAN
your husband is going to live through this.
GALE
Really? Thank you god.
POLICEMAN
The doctor will be here soon to tell you more things in a few moments.
GALE
Ok. We'll be here.
(after a minute of silence, a doctor walks in. Everyone turns to him.)
DOCTOR
First off, 'm very sorry but Ms. Prescott was long gone before she even got here. She died from a loss of blood. Her back was also broken in many places.
(Jim covers his eyes, Rick sits there in astonishment, and Gale is tearing.)
DOCTOR
Second off, Mr. Riley is going to make it through this. But, he has minor brain damage due to his head hitting the wall.
GALE
Oh. No.
(She starts to cry.)
DOCTOR
He will be in a wheelchair for a while trying to learn how to walk again. It will take some time but with some physical therapy he'll get through it.
(Jim is comforting Gale. Suddenly a nurse wheels in Dewey. He has a huge bandage on his head and he looks so lost. Gale runs up to hug him, and they cry together.)
