Shots
He went quietly over to Amanda, and knocked her out also. He looked at both of them, not even seeing James hit the button to call for help. Within less than a minute, Jesse came to the door, with Steve beside him. Steve had a gun in one hand, and was radioing for Sheryl with the radio, in the other hands. As Steve went over to the man and arrested him, Jesse saw Amanda on the floor, and went over to her. She was unconscious, but she was breathing. Suddenly, something hit his shoulder. He turned, and found James pointing desperately. Jesse followed James, and then gasped. He saw Becca on the floor. He got up and began to run over to her.
"Beck!"
He ran over, and felt for a pulse. He found one, and breathed a sigh of relief. He paged Mark, since Steve had gone down to the station to take the guy in. Mark entered, and saw Amanda.
"What happened?" Mark asked.
"I don't know. Steve and I were in the hall when James pushed the button, calling for help. Steve and I came in, and saw Amanda. I went to her, while Steve arrested the guy who attacked them, and radioed Sheryl. Apparently she met him outside. I didn't even know Beck was in here till James threw his fork at me...James."
Jesse got up, and walked over to James. Jesse picked up a notebook, and wrote on it, "What did you see?" He handed it to James. He read it, and wrote down what he saw. When he finished, he handed it back to Jesse, who read it aloud to Mark.
"Dr. Bentley and Rebecca came in and started talking to me. We talked for a while, and their backs were to the door. I saw a guy in black come behind them, and knocked Becca out. Then he went over to Dr. Bentley, and did the same thing. He pulled out a knife, and was about to kill Dr. Bentley, when I remembered the button I was supposed to push if I needed help. I pushed it, and Dr. Travis and the officer came in, and stopped the guy from killing Dr. Bentley and Rebecca. That's really it."
Jesse stopped reading, since he had reached the end. He wrote, "Thanks" on the tab, and handed it back to James, who nodded.
"So, James is really the person who saved Amanda and Beck's lives, isn't he?" Mark questioned.
"Yeah. Mark, I-"
Jesse suddenly stopped, because he heard a noise coming from Rebecca. He knelt down beside her, as she came to.
"Where am I?"
"Easy Beck. You're in Community General, in James McDonald's room. Are you okay? Does anything hurt?"
"No. Except for the monster of a headache I have. Man!"
Jesse picked her up, and put her back in her chair. She looked up at him.
"Thanks."
Becca looked around the small hospital room.
"Where's Dr. Bentley? Is she okay?"
"She's still out, but she's going to be fine."
Rebecca saw Amanda, and then gave a little gasp.
"Beck? What is it?"
"I thought I just saw her move."
Jesse got up and walked over to Amanda, while Rebecca wheeled herself over. Amanda opened her eyes, and tried to make out where she was.
"It's okay Dr. Bentley. You're in James' room."
Amanda just groaned.
"Amanda? Are you okay?"
"Yeah. My head feels like it was stepped on by an elephant."
Jesse laughed slightly.
"Well, actually, you were hit from behind with a book."
"Man. Becca, how are you?" Amanda asked.
"O.K. I think I was hit with the same book. My head feels like it was in a stampede."
Amanda giggled slightly, and then put a hand to her head.
"Oh. I shouldn't have done that. That was dumb."
Jesse helped Amanda up, and they made their way out of the room. Jesse, Amanda and Rebecca made their way to the Sloan's beach house. When they got to the door, Amanda saw a piece of paper on it. She took it off and began to read it.
"This iz only the begining of thingz. Mr. Sloan, yous and yous friendz had better watch yous backs. Yous nevers knows who's gonna to be hit next, or what'll happen tos thems. Be careful. Watch yous back."
Amanda looked up at Jesse and said,
"It's signed Croc #4.' "
"I was wondering if he was behind you two getting attacked." Jesse told the two girls.
"Well, I hope that Dr. Sloan's son catches the guy before he hurts any more of us."
"Let's go inside and get supper started so Mark and Steve won't have to wait." Jesse stated.
Jesse took the key out, unlocked the door, and the three of them went inside, and started supper. A few minutes later, the door rang, and Jesse answered it. It was Sheryl.
"Well, hello Sheryl. To what do we owe this honor?"
"Stop it Jesse. Steve wanted me to come over and give you these. It's the background information on the guy that he arrested at the hospital today. Oh, by the way, how are Amanda and your niece?" "Oh, they're fine. Do you want to come in? We've made dinner, and we're just waiting for Steve and Mark."
"Are you sure supper's safe?"
"Yes. Amanda and Beck helped too so don't worry."
"Okay. Sounds great."
Sheryl stepped inside, and they waited for the Sloan men. Meanwhile, Steve was at the hospital, waiting for his dad to finish. Finally, he saw his dad coming towards him. Mark spotted his son, who had gotten up to greet his father.
"Steve," Mark started, "how ar-"
Suddenly, Mark gasped, and started to topple over, and Steve saw something shining on his dad's leg.
