A nurse soon came out with a smile on her face. Tami and Dustin jumped out of their seats.
"Good news." She smiled. "Joey is awake and in pretty good condition. He had to get twenty stitches in his right arm. But other than that he is good nothing else is wrong, we have him on medication so it doesn't get infected and it will help with the pain. He is going to be a little sore, but it'll wear out in a week or so."
Tami sighed in relief. "What about Mary?"
She shook her head. "We don't even know if she's alive. To tell you the truth we don't even know what happened to her. But you can go visit Joey."
And they did. They silently walked over to the elevator and got in it. They were then brought to level two and walked to Joey's room. When they opened the door Joey was resting, but awake.
"Hi," he said hoarsely. "Is Mary ok?"
Tami shook her head. "They don't know. They don't even know what happened to her."
"He treated her really bad. He was slapping her and punching her." He coughed.
"I looked in her diary and she said it has been going on for two months." Tami let a tear carve a path in her face. "I also found this essay she wrote for English, I think you should read it."
He took the essay from Tami's wet hand. She must have just wiped her tears from her face. He read through it, feeler sadder than he did before. "Wow." He stared at it for another second. "I can't believe she wrote this."
"And this was after he started beating her." Tami added. Suddenly, a nurse came running into their room with a worried look.
"Mary's missing!"
