Sticks and Stones
Chapter 3- Flash
Everything happened so fast that Hank wasn't sure what was happening. It wasn't until Jamie pitched forward that Hank realized that shots had been fired. Thrusting his arms out, Hank caught Jamie as he fell, helping to lower him to the ground, Hank cringed when he saw the blood seeping out of Jamie's stomach. Turning him Hank almost screamed in horror. Not only had the bullet gone in Jamie's stomach, it had exited out his back. "SOMEONE HELP US!" Hank yelled at the top of his lungs. A uniformed police officer fell to his knee's beside him.
"What's his name son?" The officer asked.
"Jamie Waite, help he's been hurt really badly!" Turning him slightly, Hank showed the officer the bloody exit hole. The officer cringed.
"All right son, the ambulance is on its way." Nearly three minutes later, the ambulance arrived.
***********************************************************
Alex snatched up the phone. "Hello?"
"Mr. Alex Freedman?" The voice was unfamiliar.
"Yes?"
"My name is officer William Scott, do you know one Hank Beecham and Jamie Waite?" Alex heart began to pound against his chest.
"Yes....."
"Mr. Freedman, I'm sorry to inform you that they have been involved in a shooting." Alex more or less felt his heart stop.
"What?" He whispered the word. "Were they hurt?"
"Mr. Freedman do you have emergency contact numbers for their parents?"
"Were they hurt?!" Alex repeated.
"Mr. Freedman, I need the emergency contacts."
"If you tell me what is wrong I can call their parents myself." After a moment of silence Officer Scott sighed. "Mr. Freedman, Mr. Beecham is shaken, Mr. Waite however is in surgery." Alex nearly dropped the phone.
"I-Is he going to be all right?"
"Its to soon to tell."
"I-I'll call their parents and let them know."
"Thank you Mr. Freedman, We're at Kingsport Community General." The phone clicked.
**********************************************************
"Officer Scott?" Hank asked softly.
"Yes Hank?"
"Did anyone see anything?"
"No, I can't find anyone who is a witness to it."
"Oh." After a few moments Office Scott spoke again. "Is there anyone you can think of who'd want to hurt yourself or Jamie?"
"Well, there was a guy in school who was giving us a hard time, but I don't know if he could do something like this."
"Have you or Mr. Waite received any threats?"
"Jamie was threatened." Hank's eyes widened.
"All right son, in a little while another officer is going to be here to question you." Hank nodded mutely and waited for news on Jamie.
**********************************************************
"Alex what's going on?" Brooke asked.
"There's no easy way to say it. Hank and Jamie were in a shooting." Val felt her eyes fill with tears.
"WHAT?!" Caitie demanded from beside her.
"Were they hurt?" Tyler's question made all eyes turn to him.
"Hank's just shaken." Alex replied. Caitie felt her heart begin to pound.
"And Jamie?" Tyler asked.
"He wasn't so lucky."
"But...its nothing big right?" Val very nearly begged.
"He's in surgery." Tyler stood up.
"Well, come on, what are we waiting for?" With that Tyler, Val, and Caitie hurried from the room.
"What if they get a call?" Brooke asked absently.
"They'll be paged or we'll dispatch another squad. Can you pull up Hank and Jamie's emergency numbers?" Brooke nodded silently and proceeded to pull the numbers from the file cabinet.
*******************************************************
Hank stood when Tyler, Val, and Caitie rushed into the room. "Hank what happened?!" Caitie cried.
"We were just walking...and there were shots." He paused. "No, there was only one shot."
"Mr. Beecham?" Officer Scott asked materializing by his side, a woman at his side.
"Yes, sir?"
"Did you just say there was one shot?"
"Yes, sir."
"Who do you think the shooter may have been aiming at?"
"It might have been me, but it could have been Jamie too."
"Sir?" Tyler asked softly.
"Yes?"
"If the shooter was aiming at Hank, wouldn't he have shot again?" Officer Scott glanced at Tyler.
"Your a smart kid. Your right, if the shooter had intended on hitting Hank more then likely another shot would have been fired."
"Mrs. Waite?" Caitie said softly to the dark haired woman at Scott's side.
"Thank you for coming to see him." She sniffled. It was then a doctor came out.
"Are you here with James Waite?"
"Yes." Hank said his voice catching a bit in his throat.
"Is he okay?" Caitie asked.
"I think we have to talk about something....."
Dum dum dum! BWAHAHA can I be less suspenseful? Sure, but I chose not to be. End the cliffhangers? Never. Come on, I gotta get ya'll to come back somehow. And before you even ask, Hank's parents are coming in the next chapter.
