A/N : I have no knowledge of anything having to do with guns... The reason I say this is because in this chapter I say that there are six shots fired. I have no clue what kind of gun was in the season finale or how many shots it would actually fire so six seemed fine to me. If it really bothers you just correct me and I'll correct it on here. Otherwise enjoy...
"Hello," I say into the receiver, and for a moment there is silence. I'm driving back from dropping Kirsten off, which was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. No one wants to leave their wife at a rehab center.
"Mr.… Mr. Cohen?" A voice asks so quietly I almost couldn't hear it.
"Summer?" I question.
Another pause before I hear, "Its Seth… and Ryan," Summer says her voice still barely above a whisper.
"Summer what's wrong?" I ask and as soon as I do she starts into this sobbing mumble and is rambling so fast that I can't make out what she is saying, "Summer," I say trying to break through, "Summer I can't… I don't… Summer… slow down."
At this point she must have handed the phone off because a calm voice comes on, "Mr. Cohen I presume."
"This is he, what's wrong?" I ask severely alarmed.
"Hello this is Dr. Hubbard. You're sons Seth and Ryan are at the Newport Memorial and need consent for surgery. I worked on Seth when he came in and as far as I know Ryan is still in the ER, without your consent we can't perform surgery," Dr. Hubbard says.
"Yes, do what you have to. I'll be there as soon as possible," I pronounce as I pick up the pace.
When I arrive at the E.R., I see an astounding number of people outside including media. After I fight my way through people, I ask the desk where my sons are and how they're doing. They can only tell me the first part, saying that both were now in surgery. I run up to the surgical floor only to have them tell me I have to wait to see my sons. I am almost at the point of screaming obscenities, wondering what has happened and why no one will tell me how my sons are, as they lead me to the waiting room where I find Summer and a police officer waiting also.
Before I can say anything the police officer comes over to me and speaks, "Hello I'm Officer Petty. I was first to arrive at the scene."
"Would someone please tell me what has happened to my sons," I say interrupting.
The officer looked over at Summer who was just sitting there. Then continued, "We were called to the scene by a neighbor who thought they had heard a gunshot. When we came to investigate, we found that six bullets were fired. We don't know exactly where all six are or how the situation went down. I'm afraid only this young lady knows," he says pointing to Summer, "And at the moment I believe she's still in shock."
"Can you give us a minute?" I ask the officer who looks at Summer, then nods and leaves the room. I turn to go sit by Summer. When I reach her I ask, "Are you okay Summer?"
She looks at me for a moment and all I see is fear. Then she nods slowly and whispers, "I'm here."
"Can you tell me what happened?" I inquire. I'm hoping since I'm here now that she can tell me.
"Trey… and Marissa… while in Miami… Marissa told… I told Seth… Ryan… went…," Summer started. Well at least I can hear her now.
"Summer," I say interrupting, "Okay we are going to go slowly. Take a deep breath. Now where did it happen?"
Summer looks at me for a moment, takes a breath like I told her and then utters, "Trey's apartment."
"Who was there?" I ask.
"Trey, Ryan…Marissa…Seth and I," Summer whispers pausing around Marissa's name.
"Okay take a deep breathe. Now can you start at the beginning and tell me why you were all there?" I say hoping she won't start rambling again.
"Trey… he… I guess he was…high or drunk…and he tried to rape Marissa," Summer says.
I interrupt her furiously, "He raped her, When?"
"He almost…she got away. But it was over spring break when you were in Miami," Summer says slowly.
"And let me guess Ryan found out," I say letting it all sink in.
Summer nodded then added, "Marissa told me and I told Seth who told Ryan."
"Okay so Ryan went over to Trey's," I infer, continuing her on.
"Seth and I tried to get over there as fast as we could but Seth thought since Marissa was closer she could get there faster," She says calm now but I can tell by her voice that she is still on edge, "Marissa beat us and by the time we got there."
She has stopped and I allow the pause considering I need it too, but as she looks at me I nod for her to continue and she does, "When we walked in. Marissa was… she was on the… on the floor, sobbing, and… and there… there was a… gun."
"A gun?" I ask stunned. A gun, this was not good not good at all.
"They… they won't tell me anything," Summer continues, "But when Officer Hubbard walked me out I saw…Seth in an ambulance… with blood all over, and then…"
As she starts to cry again I pull her into a hug and let her. After awhile she had stopped and I finally get her to fall asleep. I lay her down as I go out to talk to the officer. When I get out into the hall I find the officer talking to a doctor.
"Mr. Cohen I presume," He says as I shake my head yes, "I'm Dr. Hubbard we spoke on the phone."
"How are my sons?" I demand.
"Well I just finished surgery on Seth; he is in recover, and I believe that Ryan is still in surgery," He says as he ushers me down the hallway, "We can talk in private in here." I look back to find the officer going back in to sit with Summer, so I follow Dr. Hubbard into the office area knowing full well that I'm not going to like what I'm about to hear.
