Chapter 3

David wasn't sure where he was. He was sure his wound was fatal, he wasn't suppossed to still exist. Yet here he was, wherever here was. David saw three figures in th distance. One was a little girl, maybe 8 or 9 who looked oddly familiar. The other girl he saw much more clearly, it was Babe, his daughter. And he recognized his brother Leo David had never really believed in an afterlife, but had to admit he was wrong. The little girl ran to David, called him "Daddy." David knew who she was, Leora, his daughter who'd died years ago. Babe and Leo hugged him too.

My God, you're really here. My little girls. Is this heaven?

Yeah, you made it.

You're sure it's not a computer error, me being up here?

No daddy, you made a lot of mistakes, but you were always trying to save lives.

I tried to save all of you. I failed with Leora, with Leo. I tried to tell Marissa about you Babe. I guess Griff couldn't bring you back.

: He's trying. I don't know if he'll succeed. If he does, I might have to leave soon.

I'll miss you here, but your son needs you.

I know. I'll miss you, and my little sister. But I want to meet Marissa, and my little brother?

: Brother? You mean Cara's baby?

Yeah, she's having a son. I hope she names him David.

Yeah, that would be nice. Too bad I'll never meet him.

Maybe someday, after a long life.

If you do go back, look out for him.

I will, I promise.
