Chapter 5
Jordan sits in a hospital bed with three large bullet wounds in his chest, stomach, and calf. He does not look well and most of the doctors have given up hope on him. He is trying to keep calm though the spasms have gotten worse and the sedatives seem to be not working.
Shawn and Tom sit in a car in the parking lot with nervous looks on their faces. Kyle is in the pack seat sleeping but as Tom wakes him up he yells fiercely.
"Get away from me! Leave alone! Please?"
"Kyle? Are you alright? What's going on…?"
"Dad, oh it's just you Dad. Look, I'm really not sure that I want to go through with this. Jordan seems a little messed up…"
Shawn has a stern look on his face. He doesn't want to pick between family and a man who acted as a father to him, but if Jordan was dying he knew that it was only right to save him. The three men enter the lobby and give the clerk Jordan's name.
"Sorry guys, only family is allowed in."
Shawn smiles at the other two like this were some sort of game…
"But you see Ma'am, we are family. I am Shawn and this is Kyle we're his sons. And Big Tom here is our uncle his brother."
She smiled and escorted them to his room.
"He's been waiting for you, Shawn, all day. It seems as though he wants to tell you something important."
April and Maia have been at home all day playing with Maia's new toys when Diana comes in. She seems as though she has gone through a lot of pressure but still greets them with a warm smile and hug.
"I see you and April did some shopping! How wonderful!"
"Yeah, there were like a million Barbie's but Aunt April said that if we got that many we would have to find a bigger apartment."
"Maia, can you let your mom and I talk privately for a moment."
Maia nodded and walked into the other room.
"Maia had a vision that Tom's son Kyle was going to die. She was really upset about it. Listen, Di, just try to talk to her maybe you'll be better at talking about that stuff then me."
