Lily sat quietly running her hand through Kyle's hair. He had long ago fallen asleep and the movie had ended leaving the TV a glowing blue screen. The sun was starting to set casting a reddish pink shadow through the window and onto the wall. And Lily would have been very content and happy to just sit there with Kyle and she would have had she not just of heard a loud knock at her front door. She very much wanted to ignore who ever it was and would have if they weren't so persistent and kept knocking.

Kyle must have heard them also for he slowly opened his eyes but only for a moment.

"Ummmm whatever it is make Lloyd do it and leave me alone Lily" Kyle mumbled and turned his head the other way.

That caused a small giggle from Lily along with a cocked eyebrow.

"Uh Kyle why don't you wake up and I'll go see who's at the door" Lily said sliding out of bed and walking out of her room.

When she reached the front door she looked out of the peep hole to see a strange young man in a suite standing there.

She opened the door and with a confused look on her face asked, "May I help you?"

"Yes, I'm detective Roberts" he said taking out his badge and showing it to Lily, "is there a Kyle McCarty here?" he asked.

"Ah...Yeah" she stuttered, "come in, I'll get him" and she closed the door as the detective came inside the apartment.

"Kyle" Lily said as she walked into her bedroom closing the door behind her, "Hey Kyle"

"Yeah?" he said tiredly, turning over to face her.

"There's a detective here to see you"

"What?" he said sitting up.

"I don't know why he's here but he asked for you and is waiting in the next room" she told him.

"Well then I guess I should go see what he wants" he said still really confused, and he stood up but swayed a little as he did so.

"You okay?" she asked, and was quick to grab onto his shoulder and helped him find his balance.

"Yeah still a little dizzy though" he said, but ignored it and walked out the door.

"Are you Kyle McCarty?" Detective Roberts asked when Kyle and Lily entered the room.

"Yeah..." Kyle said sitting down in a chair afraid that the dizziness might overcome him.

"I'm Detective Roberts, and I'm afraid I've got some bad news" he said sitting down on the couch facing Kyle. "I'm sure that you've heard by now that the man who shot you escaped from jail" he paused and Kyle nodded, "well we have good reason to believe that he may come after you"

"What?" Kyle asked "why?"

"You see It's because of you that he's facing attempted murder charges, and all the people that he talked to while he was in jail say that he's really mad at you and blames you" he told him.

This was a lot for Kyle to take in; the same person who shot him is now out to kill him.

"And so... what are you going to do about it?" he asked.

"Well there isn't really much that we can do, I just thought that you had a right to know. We are though, going to make sure that there is always a police man patrolling your block..." he paused.

"How did you find out that Kyle was staying here?" Lily asked; Kyle was still a little shocked by all the news.

"I asked his family" he said to Lily then turned to Kyle, "and I guess since your staying here we'll have the police paroling this block, and if you need me here's my number because I've really got to be going so call me if you need to"

Lily showed detective Roberts out, then walked back over to Kyle who was deep in thought, and sat down on the arm of the chair.

"You alright?" Lily asked really concerned, she was actually really afraid herself but she was trying her hardest to hide it for Kyle's sake.

"There's a guy out there who wants to kill me all because he shot me, so no not really" he said, and Lily didn't really know what to say back.

"Well what ever happens just know that I'll always be here for you Kyle" Lily told him sincerely and gave him a hug.

"Thanks" Kyle said and hugged her back.
