Meanwhile...
David slammed his fist against the dashboard, "Where the hell is Alan!" He shouted.
Megan looked at him, helplessly. "Maybe he's at the homeless shelter? He volunteers there a lot. Call his cell," She suggested. David nodded. Megan rubbed his shoulder, "It's going to be fine. Don's going to be okay" She soothed.
David nodded and began to dial again. Colby spoke up, "I'll try Charlie again"
"Hey, Mr. Eppes, this is David Sinclair" David said immediately.
"Charlie, it's Colby" Colby said a second later.
"I'm fine. Listen, there was an accident-" David began.
"Charlie, we need you to meet us at the hospital, Don was shot"
"Don was shot" David finished, after listening to Mr. Eppes.
"We don't know how serious, he was shot three times" Colby continued.
"Three" David said, "Yeah, uh. Two in the front, one in the stomach, one near his heart, and one in his back"
"Listen, Charlie. We need you to meet us at the hospital as soon as possible" Colby said slightly exasperated. Megan noticed and took the phone from Colby.
"Charlie? This is Megan" She paused and listened, then nodded. "I know Charlie, but Don needs you there. Yes, we're on the phone with Alan right now. Alright, see you in a few" She hung up.
"Alright, drive safely, we'll see you soon" David hung up and sighed. "Alan's heading over now."
"So's Charlie, Larry's going to drive him and Amita over" Megan replied.
"Terry" David muttered, bolting up in his seat.
"Terry who?" Megan asked.
"Uh, Terry Lake. Don's old partner, she moved back to D.C. to sort things out with her husband right before you two arrived. They were pretty close" David explained, "I need to call her"
"Good idea" Megan said.
Colby continued driving Don's SUV to the hospital.
David dialed and waited, "Terry? Hey, it's David Sinclair" He said almost immediately. "I'm doing okay, how are you?" He listened, "Good" Then the color drained from his face and he looked at Megan, "Uh, actually Don is the reason I am calling" He listened, "Terry, Don was shot three times. Once in the stomach, once near the heart and once in the back" He listened, "We thought you should know, he was rushed to the hospital just now and should be in surgery right now. I thought you would want to know" He listened then shook his head, "We don't know how serious it is, it didn't look good though" He thought for a moment, "No! You don't have to come all the way down here, I just wanted to let you know what had happened" He insisted, then "Fine. We'll see you as soon as you get here. Yes, the downtown hospital" David hung up. "Well, she's catching the next plane down."
"If they were close Don would want her here" Megan said softly.
