Chapter 23
Simmons and Terry were on each other's heels as they ran into the hospital. They flashed their badges as they made there way to Charlie's room. The officer in charge informed them that Agent Eppes had left the scene. Simmons went into the room to check the body. Terry saw an officer questioning Alan Eppes. She tapped him on the shoulder.
"Excuse us for a moment please." The officer nodded and stepped away. Terry knelt down next to the older man.
"Where is Don?" Alan asked quietly.
"I was about to ask you the same question. Want to tell me what's been going on here?"
"I can't…" Alan said vaguely running the back of his hand across his forehead.
"Now you sound like your sons…please… you know I only want to help."
"I know you do… but I don't think you can."
"Do me a favor then. Don't answer anything you can't answer, but don't tell me any lies either. Is that a deal?"
Alan nodded.
"Did Don take Charlie to a safe house?" Alan didn't respond.
"Okay…Do you know where Don is going?"
"No." Alan stated firmly.
"Do you know what he is going to do?"
"Not exactly…"
Terry sighed, she thought for a moment about where Don would go. It seemed obvious that at the very least there had been another attempt on Charlie's life. From the looks of Don's father everything was far from alright. She thought back to the statement she had made in the car. She only had one more question that seemed important.
"Is he going to do something I should be scared about?"
Alan paused for a long moment. "Yes."
I know, I know too much drama… I want to get to the point, I really do, but where would the fun of the finish be without the chase. I hope you will stick with me. I will get to the point soon, I promise. Hopefully more tomorrow. I am addicted to this story now so don't worry about me forgetting it. Thank you for all your kind reviews :)
