TITLE: Midnight Train (8/?)
"Is she awake?" Sam asked before they got to the room.
"No, she's still in the coma. But some people say that coma patients might be able to hear people."
"I heard that too," Josh smiled.
The two men walked in as the doctor stayed back. As they approached her bed, both men felt tears beginning to form in their eyes.
"It just looks like she's sleeping," Josh said as he grabbed her hand.
"Yeah," Sam fought back the tears. "God Josh, how did this happen?"
"I don't know," Josh bent down. "Claudia Jean, I don't know if you can hear me, but it's Josh. You know, the bonehead from work," Josh smirked, remembering all the times she called him that. "Sam and I are here."
"We're here CJ," Sam walked closer and grabbed her other hand, causing more tears to flow down his face.
"Please, please wake up CJ," Josh rested his head on her chest and cried. Sam walked over to the other side and rested his head on her stomach and cried. Both men begging her to wake up.
"I'm sorry," A nurse walked in. "But I have someone down stairs demanding to see someone about Toby Ziegler."
"I'll go," Sam patted Josh on the back.
"Thanks," Josh nodded and watched Sam walk out.
"Who is it?" Sam asked.
"I have no idea, she said that he was on the train and wants to see him. I checked with the doctor and they said he was still in surgery. Then he told me that you were here."
"Okay, where is." Sam started to ask but figured it out after he heard her screaming. "Andy," Sam whispered.
"Sam. Where is he?" She ran up to him crying. "He's not dead. I know it. I can still feel him."
"He's in surgery Andy," Sam wrapped his arms around her to calm her down.
"I want to see him," She cried.
"So do I," Sam looked over at the nurse. "May she come back with me?"
"Sure," The nurse nodded.
"Come on," Sam walked Andy down the hall and back to CJ's room. "CJ's in a coma," Sam said while standing outside the door.
"Will she be okay?" Andy asked worried.
"They won't know until she wakes up," Sam said. "You want to see her?"
"Okay," Andy nodded and followed Sam in.
"Andy," Josh looked over. "I'm so sorry," Josh walked over and hugged her.
"So am I," Andy wiped some of Josh's tears away. "Oh CJ," Andy walked over to her. "You have to wake up. You have too," Andy grabbed her hand.
"How did you find out?" Sam asked.
"It's all over the news. They kept saying he was dead. But my gut told me different."
"There're reporting that he's dead?" Josh asked angered. "What if Toby's family hears this?" He looked over at Sam.
"I'll go call them," Sam said. "I know David's number, but I don't have any idea where Toby's sister's are."
"I can call them," Andy said. "I stayed in touch over the years."
"Thanks," Sam smiled weakly.
Josh watched Sam and Andy walk back out before he sat in the chair next to the bed. He bent over and covered his face with his hands.
"How could happen?" Josh whispered to himself.
