Chapter Eight

Later that day Lulu and Dillon walked into Mount Sania and asked to see Dr. Phillips.

After a phone call to his office, they were sent up.

When they stepped inside Lulu gasped and said, "Katie, you're here."

"Hey, Aunt Lulu." Katie said

"Hi." said Cameron

Dr. Phillips said, "I was just filling Kate in on all that would be required if she was to be the donor. Sit down and join us."

Dillon had tears in his eyes when he looked at Katie and said, "This is an amazing gift you are giving my son."

She blushed and looked down.

In his hospital room, Clark was having a nightmare about his parents plane crashing. He stood on a mountain nearby where he could watch the plane fly by and then stall and drop from the sky. He screamed, in agony, "No!" and the word echoed.

All the family he had in the world fell to earth and became a fireball. He dropped to his knees and said, "I don't want to be all alone."

The misery of the dream changed in an instant. The smoke cleared, the dark sky was transformed into a blazing flash of light, a eagle flew and landed next to him.

He looked at it and felt peace.

A few moments later, a voice came over the loud speaker in the hospital, "Dr. Phillips to Room 515 Stat."

At the same instant, Dr. Phillips pager went off as he talked with Lulu, Dillon, Cameron and Katie. He looked down at it and said, "Excuse me."

"Dr. Phillips to Room 515 STAT."

Lulu jumped up. "That's Clark room!" she cried

Dr. Phillips said, "Wait here." and then he ran from the room.

But Dillon and Lulu were right behind him and followed him to Clark's room.

Katie and Cameron stayed in the doctor's office. Katie cried, "I'm too late."

She broke down crying.

Cameron took her in his arms. "He'll pull through. Have a little faith, kid."

She pulled away and wiped at her tears. She said, "I'm not a kid."

"I know. I know your not, brat."

Katie smiled at the old nickname and said, "You really think he'll make it? You think I'm doing the right thing?"

"100 percent."

Katie nodded and let her brother's strength make her fell stronger too. She took Cameron's hand, bowed her head and said, "Please God, let Clark live through this. My Aunt Lulu really needs him here. We all need him. Please God..."

Lucky and Liz were in there car driving into New York City when Liz's cell phone rang. She answered it.

"Mom, it's Cam."

"How is your sister?"

"Fine. But Clark isn't."
