Lizzie looked up at Gordo. He stared at her in disbelief.
"Thank you, Gordo. You saved my life and my children's lives." Said Lizzie, looking up at him. Gordo nodded and forced a gentle smile on his lips. He kept running her words over and over in his mind. 'I love you, Gordo' Did she really mean it or was she just in so much pain that she couldn't think straight? Gordo pleaded and begged that it was the first.
"Would you go and see how Hunter and AnnaBeth are doing?" asked Lizzie weakly. Gordo smiled and nodded. He got up and walked down the hall to the front desk of the ward.
A young nurse greeted him. She had short black hair and kind hazel eyes. Her name tag said 'Hi! My name is: Crystal Adams'
"Can you tell me where the pediatric emergency is?" asked Gordo. Crystal smiled up at him.
"Take the elevator to the third floor and go left. When you get to the corridor, go right and then take the hallway about thirty feet until you get to---" she started to explain, but stopped when she noticed the tired man's weary expression. "I'll take you there myself." She said, relieving Gordo immensely.
As they waited in the elevator, Crystal started to talk to Gordo.
"So, are you here because of the blonde woman that came in?" she asked, gently enough to sound sincere.
"Oh, yeah. I'm her friend and, uh, I'm the one who called the police on her husband after he beat the crap out of her and her kids and raped her." Said Gordo. He paled after he realized his statement. He looked at Crystal, who was red in the face. "Hey, I'm sorry. It's just been a really long night and things are a little crazy." Offered Gordo. Crystal smiled and said, "This is our floor."
Gordo was glad that Crystal had offered to guide him, because as he followed her, he realized how lost he would've gotten. They stopped in a cheery ward, with red walls and circus animals dancing on the border. The room looked like a happy daycare center- minus the hospital staff, screaming children, and doctors running like chickens with their heads cut off. Crystal lead Gordo to a room that AnnaBeth was in.
Gordo's heart was torn when he saw the small girl. So many stitches and bandages. She looked like a war victim. Gordo thought for a moment. This whole thing was a war. A war between Luke and Lizzie and the kids were the innocent civilians.
"Hey. Hey!" whispered Crystal. Gordo blinked and shook his head.
"Yeah?" he asked, coming out of his trance. Crystal pointed to the figure in the bed. AnnaBeth was reaching out to Gordo and crying. He walked over to her bed and hugged her as best as he could.
"Where's mommy?" she asked quietly. Gordo felt powerless. He was not prepared to tell a four-year-old that her mother was beaten and abused and raped and lying in a hospital bed crying because of her father. Gordo thought for a moment.
"Mommy is in another room, sweetie. The doctors are making her feel all better so she can come and see you and your brother. She'll be feeling better in a couple of days and then we'll go see her, okay?" said Crystal soothingly. Gordo turned and faced her and mouthed the words 'Thank you'. Crystal nodded and smiled.
"I'm gonna go and see how Hummer is doing, okay?" asked Gordo. AnnaBeth stared at him and smiled.
"Gurrdoh, tell Hummer I love him and tell mommy I love her, too." She said. Gordo promised he would and said goodnight as he left the room. Outside, he leaned against a wall and took a deep breath.
"Harder than you thought?" asked Crystal.
"Hardest thing I've ever done." He replied. "Where's Hum- I mean, Hunter?" Crystal led him to another ward completely. Hunter had been sent to the Pediatric Recovery Ward. He had not been as badly beaten as his mother and sister.
Gordo walked in the room and saw him. He was sitting up, playing a PlayStation game. When he saw Gordo, he leapt from his bed and hugged him.
"Hey buddy!" said Gordo, returning the hug. "How are you doing?"
Hunter stared up at Gordo. Gordo felt his heart ripping again. Hunter's eyes held so much pain and sorrow and fear, that it was almost unbearable for Gordo.
"I want to see my mom and Bethie." He replied finally, climbing back into his bed.
"You'll see them soon enough, buddy. First they have to make sure everythings okay. But I promise that as soon as I can, I'll take you home." Said Gordo.
"Your home or ours?" asked Hunter. Gordo felt dry in his mouth like he couldn't speak.
"Hey, it's time for bed. You're up way too late. Now, come on." Said Crystal, turning off the game and tucking Hunter in.
"Night Nerd." Said Hunter form his hospital bed. Hunter had called Gordo 'Nerd' ever since he could talk. Gordo laughed softly.
"Goodnight, Buddy." He said as the door closed.
