TITLE: Midnight Train (9/?)
"Yes, this is Sam Seaborn," Sam said for the fifth time. "I work with his brother."
"Please hold," The woman said again.
"What's going on?" Andy walked up to him.
"This stupid woman says she can't get him because he's in class or something like that."
"Did you tell her it's an emergency?"
"Yes, five times," Sam snapped. "Did you get a hold of his sisters?"
"Yes. They live in New York and have been watching the television all night."
"They thought."
"He was dead."
"That's terrible. Damn press anyway!" Sam snapped.
"They're coming down as soon as they can."
"Hello," David answered.
"David Ziegler?" Sam said.
"Yes. Who is this?"
"My name is Sam Seaborn, I work with your brother."
"Yes," David said.
"Have you been watching the news tonight?" Sam asked.
"No, I've been in class all night. Why?"
"I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this. Toby was in an accident tonight."
"What kind of accident?" David began to sound worried.
"There was a train wreak earlier. It was pretty bad. Toby and CJ Cregg were in the train."
"Is he alright?" David yelled. "How bad is it?"
"The news is reporting that he died, but it's not true. He's in surgery right now."
"Then why are they saying he's dead?" David yelled again.
"Because they don't know what's going on. A lot has happened."
"Will he make it?"
"It's too early to tell."
"It's Sam, right?"
"Yes."
"Look, I'm leaving now. What hospital are you at?"
"GW."
"Okay, I should be there by tomorrow."
"Okay."
"What about CJ?"
"She's in a coma. They won't know anything until she wakes up."
"Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible. Thanks for calling."
"Sure," Sam hung up and looked over at Andy. "He's on his way."
"Why did it have to take something like this to get that dysfunctional family back together?" Andy asked.
"I have no idea," Sam shook his head. "I have no idea what to do now."
"I don't think anyone does Sam," Andy hugged him and they walked back into the room. Awaiting word on Toby, or for the sun to come up. Whichever one came first.
