As Frank was driving to work a couple of days later, he was tried of the same old radio station he had been listening to so he pushed the scan button. Frank was at a stoplight when he heard:
You see in all my life
I've never found What I couldn't resist What I couldn't turn down I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you
Before the song could finish, the radio had continued to scan and he could not retrieve the station that it was playing on. He was so intent on finding the station that he didn't realize that the light had turned green until he heard the honking behind him.
All day that song played in his mind, he had never heard it before but as fate would have it, it reminded him of Chris. He called the hospital to check on her and her condition hadn't changed.
Everyone saw the difference in Frank that day but no one knew why and in the last few weeks anything said about Chris was a touchy subject. They all wanted to help him but didn't know how so the best thing was to let him work it out himself.
Frank analyzed most of the day why he had heard that particular verse of the song. He thoughts kept repeating the same verse, "But I can't walk away from you." Every time he thought the words he felt a magnet drawing him closer to Chris. His voice of reason took the opportunity, "It's time you make the decision."
"What decision?"
"Isn't it obvious that you want to see her?"
"Yeah, but you forgot, I can't go near her"
"When has someone telling you no ever stopped you?"
"It hasn't."
"Then what are you waiting for? She's willing you to come to see her."
"Okay, she is driving me crazy, that I'm actually having a conversation in my with myself."
"No, I'm called you conscious. Do the right thing"
Frank knew whoever was talking to him was right; he needed to see and talk to her. He would do it tonight but first he had an errand to run.
Chris was listening to Agent Greene ramble on; Mueller must have gone back to Miami. Chris wanted to open her eyes, but not to see Greene or anyone else. She wanted to see Frank but she knew it would be when hell freezes over.
"Give him time, he will come." Her voice of reason said.
"Is that like, if you build it they will come?"
"You're being a wise-ass again. He will come, you just have to have faith."
"Why would he even want to see me? Especially after I told his girlfriend he had a son."
"Because he loves you."
"Don't make me laugh, it'll blow my cover."
"No it won't, you were the best when it came to being undercover."
"You mean I've haven't loss my touch?"
"Maybe if you decide to wake up, he'll come then."
"I like where I am."
"No you don't, besides you can't stay here forever. Sooner or later a decision will have to be made." "Thanks for the info, I'm going to sleep for awhile."
"You know I hate when you do this."
