Sorry in advance for what may be considered a crappy chapter. I re-read my
story and thought that may be I should leave it as is but for some reason have
now decided totally against. Hope you like the chapter anyway and hopefully I
should have the story wrapped up by the end of the year. My best educated
guess is that there are still about 3 to 5 more chapters to go. Enjoy :) and once
again thank you for all you wonderful reviews on this and my other stories.
Sincerely,
Reven Eid

Karen was beside herself. It had been five weeks since anyone had heard from
Sydney and now here she was in a hospital in El Paso, Texas being taken out of
the intensive care unit. Last Karen had seen Sydney she herself had dropped
her off at the airport back home and destined for a flight to Hawaii to spend with a
close friend. What had happened to her. "Miss are you a relative of the patient?"
A nurse came up to Karen and startled her out of her musings, "No. I'm her
secretary her family is to far away and couldn't afford the trip so they authorized
my being here. Is there a problem?" The nurse nodded and handed Karen the
clipboard she had been carrying, "No miss its just we need some personal
information from her. Please fill out these form to the best of your knowledge
and bring them back to the front desk." Karen nodded and took a seat next to
Sydney in her new private room. Karen watched her breathing normally and got
up to go and fill out the forms in better light.
When Karen was done she headed to the front desk as told by the nurse. "Here
you are miss. I've attached the Sydney's mother's name, telephone and fax
number where she can be reached so that the ones that I didn't answer she can."
The nurse nodded as Karen started walking away she headed back to the nurse
to ask, "Miss how did she come about being here and how did you know to
contact me?" The nurse looked up at Karen with sad brown eyes, "I'm sorry to
have to tell you this but she was found by the police in an alley. They had been
chasing down a robber and happen to see someone dumping a heavy object on
the floor. Sadly the individual got away but when they neared the package they
saw that it was your friend. She had no identification on her person only a piece
of paper with her name on it and your name and phone number." Karen nodded,
"Please when you speak to her mother don't tell her that. Just tell her an
ambulance brought her in." The nurse simply nodded and went about her
evening task. Dr. Cooper had told Karen Sydney would be waking up in a few
hours. She had been in intensive care due to a knife wood to her stomach.
Sydney had been fortunate she had been told since the would had not damaged
any major organs but had required some surgery. If healing went well she would
be out of the hospital by the end of the week.
Sydney woke up feeling like a thousand bricks had not only fallen on her body
but had simply stayed there as well. She tried opening her eyes but shut them
immediately to the offensive bright lights and grunted. She started to try and
remember where she had been and exactly where she was now when she heard
the voice, "Karen?" Karen had tears in her eyes she had been so worried that
Sydney would not wake up no matter how many times the doctors had assured
her that she would be o.k. "Sydney yeah its me Karen we were all so worried
about you when we couldn't find you." Sydney tried sitting up but was pushed
down by Karen, "No stay still I'll set your bet in the up right position." Karen took
the bed remotes and brought Sydney up to a sitting position. "Thank you Karen
but tell what's going on?" Karen looked confused and decided to sit down. "Well
Syd today is Tuesday, October 15th and you've been missing for about five
weeks. I dropped you off at the airport and that was the last time anyone saw
you. Can you tell me what happened?" Sydney closed her eyes to try and think
again but all she got was a big blur. She opened her eyes to look at Karen's
concerned one and whispered, "I can't remember." Karen took Sydney's hand
and patted it, "Don't worry its o.k. now and on Friday the doctor said I can take
you home." Sydney nodded and decided to get comfortable in her bed again and
rest. She needed rest she was tired.
