3:35 AM
McGinty`s Loft
Quite early in the morning Chuck is awakened by the
voice of a still delirious gary mumbling in his sleep.
"No. No. They don`t...They don`t carew. Think they
gonna be here forever. Gotta...gotta get it through
to them somehow. Not. Not...gonna be around forever.
Think the sun gonna alway shine. Just. Just...like
yesterday. Good...ole yesterday."
7:30 AM
Chuck remembering to call Dr. Ross, gets a hold of
him at the hospital and tells him how Gary was through
the night.
"He hardly had any trouble during the night." Chuck
starts.
"Good...Good." the doctor replies.
"A little talking in his sleep at around 3:30 and
some heavy breathing. But that`s it. His temperature
has gone down about 40 degrees. He`s still delirious
though."
"Okay refresh those icepacks, towels, & compresses.
And keep me informed. He`ll be alright once he cools
down and gets some rset." the doctor tells Chuck.
"Great! I guess i`ll talk to you later then.
Goodbye." Chuck answers.
"Goodbye."
Later
9:00 AM
Jake deciding to call in at work stating he would be
a few hours late. Shows up at McGinty`s to visit a
still half-delirious Gary.
Jake, after getting Chuck to repeat Dr.Ross`
diagnosis agrees to sit with Gary a few hours so Chuck
can go downstairs and get a little work done.
11:15 AM
After telling Chuck that Gary woke-up for a few
minutes, for a drink of water. Jake heads downstairs
to have a cup of coffe at the bar with Crumb, who`s
filling in for Patrick this morning.
"Tell me, exactly how are you Hobson`s cousin,again?"
Crumb asks.
"my parents died in a car accident when i was
five-years-old. My mother and Gary`s mother were
sisters. At the no one in our family could afford to
also take me on and still be able to raise their own
kids, so i was put up for adoption." Jake answers.
"Mr. Crumb? Do you have any relatives you could pass
as twins with?" Jake asks Crumb.
"I did have a brother, we are twins. We were put up
for adoption too, by our dying mother and elderly
father whom may not have lived long enough to raise us
pass high school. They gave us up so we could maybe
have a better life. I never saw Howard again." Crumb
replies with tears welling in his eyes.
"After we were adopted into seperate families." he
finshes.
Two Days Later
8:00 AM
Gary wakes up frightened, it is the first time he`s
been concious since the explosion. It is during the
middle of a thunderstorm. Not at first aware of the
storm, Gary starts to believe all he said about the
sun not shinig again.
"Aaah! I knew it! I should never have woke-up!"
"Gar, it`s okay look it`s just a storm." Chuck
whispers to Gary.
"Okay..." Gary replies unsure, as he turns slightly
so he can see out the window.
***********************************************************************
That Evening
Jake`s Apartment
Mr. and Mrs. Evans arrive for a visit. Jake tells
them about Gary and the explosion. Jake also tells
them about his visit with Gary. Afterwards...
"Hey dad?" Jake asks.
"Yes?"
"Did you ever hear how everyone in the world has a
twin?"
"Well, yes I have." Mr. Evans replies,while
Mrs.Evans looks on in alarm.
"Well,Crumb looks like you."
"What can you tell me about this Mr.Crumb?" Mr.
Evans asks.
"He was with the Chicago P.D. detectives, then went
out on his own as a private investigator. he got to
know Gary from Gary`s always ending up at crime scenes
like when got sick the last time you were here to
visit. He was subbing for the bartender at mcGinty`s
when I was there. He said he had a twin brother.
When I asked him almost the same thing." Jake adds
curiously.
"It could be him Howard..."Mrs. Evans says to her
husband.
"Him?" Jake asks confused.
"I have a twin, he and I were put up for adoption for
the same reason as you, you might say. I haven`t seen
him since we were adpoted to seperate families." Mr.
Evans tell Jake.
"Do you think I could meet this Mr. Crumb, from what
you say I think it is him?" Mr. Evans asks.
"Sure!" Jake replies happily.
***********************************************************************
Two Days Later
Mc Ginty`s
Crumb & Mr. Evans meet at McGinty`s and realize they are each other`s lost twins.
"So all the guesses were right then?" Jake asks.
"Seems that way." Crumb and Mr. Evans reply in unison.
"Though you might not know this that was the same orphanage where you were, Jake." evans says.
"The same place?" Marissa suddenly asks.
"Yeah. I`ll tell how we got Jake."
"I got grateful to the people there who would treat a couple of teenagers so well that would probably have lost their parents at any time. So when I was married I planned all of my life to adopt a child at that same place as sort of a thank you to the people there. So when I got to where I thought I was ready to take on a child we went and got Jake."
Lois and Bernie Hobson having shown up during the story and after Mr.Evans has finished decide to invite Crumb to the family reunion the Hobson`s and Evanses have been planning.
