Lucy drove quickly to the hospital, so afraid for her husband that she could barely think. He's a police officer! I can't lose him! We've only been married for a year! Lucy thought. She quickly said a prayer for Kevin. God, please please take care of Kevin. I love him too much to lose him. Please don't let anything bad happen, she prayed desperately. Lucy turned her car into the parking lot of the hospital and ran inside. It only took her a minute to get to the front desk. She saw a woman sitting at the desk. She had chin length brown hair and a pretty face. Lucy noticed that the girl wore a tag that said Lisa on her shirt. The girl looked up and smiled. "How can I help you?" She asked politely. " I'm Lucy Kinkirk. I was called about my husband, Kevin Kinkirk, who's here." Said Lucy. " Oh, right this way please" said the nurse, "he's just down the hall." When they reached room 813 they stopped and the nurse quietly opened the door. "Kevin" she said softly " Your wife is here to see you." Lucy stepped into the room and looked to the bed where her husband was laying. He looked tired but she could see no obvious bandages. " I'll be at the desk if you need anything." The nurse said warmly, and she left the room. Lucy ran to Kevin's bedside and he motioned to a chair. She pulled it close to the bed, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and sat down. "What happened? Why are you here?" She asked nervously. "I was out on duty with Roxanne when a speeding car drove past us" he began. " We tried to pull them over, but they continued to drive faster and faster. As we chased them, we got a call on out radio saying that a car was stolen. The sergeant described the car, and it was the one that we were following. Back up was sent in and we got the car to pull over, but when they stopped, a man got over the driver's seat with a gun, and shot at us. Luckily, the bullet only graised my ear" he said, turning his head so Lucy could see the top of his ear bandaged and red. She gasped, but knew that he would be okay. " Is everyone else ok?" She asked. " Well, the man behind me was shot in the shoulder, but he'll be all right." Kevin answered. "Thank God!" Lucy said, sounding very relieved. "But Lucy.there's something you need to know" Kevin began. "The nurse told me that if the bullet had been over one inch farther, the bullet would have entered my head and killed me. The only reason it didn't do that is because I started to trip as the bullet flew. I would have been closer to the bullet by that inch. I would be dead. I know that I'm still here for a reason. I know it." Kevin looked up to see Lucy, with tears filling her eyes. She threw her arms around him. The nurse spoke behind them. They hadn't heard her enter the room. " This is definitely a gift from God that your husband is here with us, Mrs. Kinkirk. Visiting hours are over. We have to keep Kevin overnight, but he will be able to come home tomorrow. "Can't I stay here with him?" Lucy asked quickly. Kevin turned her head towards his. " Go home. Rest easy. You'll sleep better." He said. "ok" Lucy said sadly. He kissed her shortly and sweetly, and then rolled over to go to sleep. The nurse came over to Lucy and guided her by the shoulders out of the room. "See you tomorrow Mrs. Kinkirk" she said. Quietly, Lucy answered. " Yeah, tomorrow."
