Chapter 6

A week later when Andy finally got his first night of sleep he was awakening by a call.

"Hello?" Andy sounding very annoyed

"I'm sorry Mr. Bogard to bother you at so late of an hour" A concerned man's voice said over the phone.

"It's 4 am! What is this all about?" Andy looked at his clock beside his bed.

"We just found a female body; we identify her as Mai Shiranui Bogard, Is she a relatives or someway connect to you?"

"Yes she is my wife, what happen? Is anything wrong with her?" Andy was now wide awake and panting.

"She was found almost half dead, she is suffering from a large blow to the stomach, and a few major buries to the head and her legs. It was not likely this happen on an accident, it was someone or something that did this to a strong woman like her" The doctor's words were like the Bible to Andy. He absorbed every single word.

"Is she still alive? Where is she?" Andy wanted to see his wife; he didn't want her to die.

"We just operated on her and only time can tell if she will be good health. But no one had ever survived an attack like this, but no one had ever lived this long after an attack like this, there is no telling what the out come of her will be. Now we know your in America Mr. Bogard, but we just wanted to inform you and to our records Jonathan Bogard who is there with you." The doctor told Andy everything.

"I will be there as soon as possible Doctor, Please keep her alive till I get there" Andy got out of bed and started throwing anything and everything in a suitcase.

"I don't have any guarantees Mr. Bogard, but we will do the best we can" With that the doctor hung up and Andy went to wake Johnny up.

"Son! Your mother has been attack and badly wounded! Were going to Japan now! Get all your stuff ready!" Andy woke Jonathan up as he was rushing about mad around the house.

When Andy and Jonathan were ready they woke up their driver and immediately told him to drive them to the airport. He did as he was told; as they got to the airport they took the first flight they can get on to Japan. When they got to the hospital they were out of energy, but they weren't out of love to find Mai.

"Excuse me, but I'm here to see Mai Shiranui Bogard! She's my wife and I got informed that she is in terrible condition." Andy words sped up with every passing moment.

"You must be Mr. Bogard! I'm so sorry; your wife is in ICU Room 7" The nurse at the counter calmly said.

"Thank You" As Andy and Jonathan rushed off the see Mai. They ran down through hallways after hallways, stairs after stairs, and they finally got to the ICU Room 7 where Mai was.

"Mr. Bogard I presume?" The doctor asked as he saw the mad man rushed down the corners of the hospital.

"Yes, is she alright?" Andy wanted to see Mai.

"My Mommy! Who did this to her!!" Jonathan wanted to kick some butt.

"I have no idea, and her condition....she is holding up better that anyone else who have had this condition before."

"Can we see her?" All Andy can think about was Mai and how much pain she was in.

"Yes, she still has a little bit of conscience left, but I don't know how much that will last" The doctor opened the door for them to walk in.

"Mai......" It hurt Andy to see Mai lying there with everything hooked up to her.

"Andy....." Mai felt his gentle touch on her face.

"Mommy!" Jonathan hated to see the one he loved and the person who gave him life in a hospital.

"Johnny" Mai tried to smile.

"Mai......I'm so sorry....... I could have prevented this if I only stay with you" Andy held her hand.

"No.......America is where you were born......Japan is my place......You followed your heart Andy" Mai's breathe increased with every word.

"If I had followed my heart it would have lead to you" Andy eye's started watering up.

"Andy.......Johnny.......I love you both very much.......and......."

"Don't say that Mai.................................. your going to live I know you are!" Andy wouldn't those thoughts go into Mai's head.

"Johnny...Can you let Mommy talk to Daddy for a little while?" Mai looked at Johnny.

"Sure Mom, Anything you say" Jonathan got up and left the room, he closed the door behind as he walked out and sat in a near by chair.

"Andy....Promise me you'll take good care of him"

"Mai Don't say this stuff, your going to live, and when your all better I promise I'll make everything right, were going to be a family again I promise" Andy kissed Mai's hand.

"Promise me Andy......Promise me that you're going to protect him!"

"Mai...please don't even think about this"

"Please Andy Promise me......"

"Ok Mai......I promise.......But don't you dare die on me...."

"Ok" Mai nodded her head and went unconscious.

"Mai.......I will find the person who did this to you........and I swear I will make them pay for what they done to you" Andy weep.
