Angie bent the hospital rules and let Greenlee have more than the two visitors she was allowed. Everyone was gathered in her room. It was almost like nothing had happened and they were back at the Slater's home having another BBQ. They were laughing and joking with one another.

As they talked there was a white elephant in the room. In the back of their minds was the shooting and everything that came after that first shot rang out. While they all thought about it no one wanted to bring it up. For the first time since the shooting there was laughter and smiles.

Jackson watched his daughter carefully. He had come so close to losing her again he wanted to savor every second with her. He also wanted to make sure she wasn't over exerting herself she wasn't one to take it easy despite what the doctors told her. As they all talked he couldn't help but notice her eyes move between an uncomfortable looking Leo and Ryan who hadn't let go of her hand since they had gotten in the room. He knew things were going to get very confusing for her in the coming days.

Jackson looked down at his watch and noticed they had been with her for almost an hour. As hard as she was fighting it she looked exhausted.

"Greenlee, Erica and I should really get going. I'll be by tomorrow to see you." He hoped everyone else would take the hint.

"Dad, wait. Before you leave there's something I need to know." She had been avoiding asking about the shooting but needed to know who hurt her.

Ryan knew what she wanted to ask but was hoping to avoid this conversation until she was at least walking around on her own.

Before Ryan could stop her she started to ask them about the shooting.

"Dad what happened that night? Who did this to us?"

Silence invaded the room as they all looked at each other no one sure if they should say the truth or try to placate her.

Marissa felt the same uncomfortable silence that she had felt every time she asked the same question. "So it's not just me they don't want to give answers to."

"Ok. Marissa and I got shot we're not dead or dumb. What the hell happened that night that you guys are obviously trying to keep from us." Greenlee wanted answers and wasn't one to be ignored.

The room stayed quiet for a moment as they all looked at each other hoping someone else would tell them the details.

Jack finally stood up and approached the bed. He sat down on the edge sitting between his daughter and Marissa. As he started to talk Bianca held tight to Marissa's hand knowing how this news would affect her.

"We have been trying to keep this from you two as long as possible. I know you guys will tell us that was pointless that there is no need but you both sustained serious injuries and causing any undue stress could cause a setback that your bodies weren't prepared to handle." Jack started "The police do have a suspect but at this time there have been no arrests."

"Who is it Dad? Why haven't they been arrested? Jackson ignored his daughter's questions.

"After the shooting there was a car accident about a mile and half down the road from the Chandler's."

"That's why the EMT's had a hard time getting to the mansion." Marissa recalled what happened that night.

Jackson nodded his head. "The vehicle that caused the accident was driving away from the same direction from the Chandler's into town. The car was driving erratically in speeds they estimated at over 90 mph. Both the driver and their passenger we're brought here following the accident. Officer's believed that the driver was driving under the influence of alcohol. They searched the car and found a Revolver under the passenger seat. After examining the gun found at the scene and shell casings found in the tunnels at the mansion they were able to determine that gun was used by the shooter."

"So the shooter's here at PVH?" Greenlee couldn't keep the sound of fear out of her voice.

Jackson shook his head but before he could continue Marissa interrupted, "Who was it Jackson?" deep down she knew it was JR. The stares that they were giving each other, ignoring her questions, the guilty look on Bianca's face told her everything she needed to know but she needed to hear it. She needed to know for sure that it was JR that had done all this.

Jackson confirmed her suspicions, "I'm sorry Marissa. JR was the driver of the SUV that caused the accident. Jesse and the police believe that he also pulled the trigger that night."

Greenlee looked shocked not understanding what JR would have against her.

Bianca looked over at Marissa wishing she knew what the other woman was thinking. She squeezed her hand tighter trying to let her know she was there.

Marissa looked into Bianca's eyes, "Who….who was the passenger in JR's car?" Marissa was afraid of the answer.

Bianca shook her head not wanting to tell her about AJ knowing how it would break Marissa's heart to hear about her little boy being hurt and not being there for him.

"Bianca who was in that car with JR?" Marissa felt the anger growing inside her and the tears forming in her eyes.

"Marissa I'm so sorry…." Bianca could get the words out she could only hang her head down.

Marissa put her hand under Bianca's chin their eyes locking. In barely an audible Marissa asked her the question she really didn't want the answer to, "Was it my son?"

Bianca shook her head confirming Marissa's worst fears. The tears spilled down her face, "Where is he?"

"He survived the accident but he's sick 'Rissa. He's got a bad infection. They're not sure where the infection came from but they're having a hard time finding the right medicine to give him."

"Why didn't you tell me Binx! That's my son didn't you think I should know that he was hurt? That I should be there with him. I'm his mother Damn it! I should be there with him." Marissa wasn't really mad at Bianca but she was there and she was someone that Marissa could put her anger off on.

"Marissa I'm so sorry. I was so scared of losing you. The doctors weren't going to let you see him in your condition and I didn't want you to worry before you had to." Bianca knew Marissa would be upset but still hated to have her mad at her.

"I'm sorry Binx" Marissa realized she was hurting the one person who deserved it least in this world. It wasn't Bianca's fault. That honor belonged to JR and his hatred that caused all of this. "Take me to my son Bianca. Please." Her eyes grew softer.

Bianca shook her head and the two left the room.

Kendall noticed the look on Greenlee's face. A combination of shock and exahastion. "Greenlee, Zach and I are going to leave you get some rest ok."

Greenlee nodded her head still trying to process everything she had heard. Kendall gave her friend a hug as she and Zach left. Erica followed them knowing Jack needed time with his daughter.

Greenlee was left alone with Jackson, Ryan, and Leo.

They sat in silence for a moment. Leo was worried about her. It was too soon to cause this kind of stress on her but he also knew if Jack hadn't told her she would have worked herself up demanding the truth.

Ryan looked over to Leo thinking the same thoughts as the other man. They both loved this woman and hated to see her in any kind of pain. He knew she needed her questions answered and right now Jackson was probably the best person to be there for her. "Leo why don't you and I go get some coffee and give Greenlee some time with her dad." Leo nodded his head.

Greenlee watched as the two men walked out of the room together. She turned back to her father. "Why Dad? Why would JR do this?"

Jack looked at her for a moment, "I wish I had a good answer to that honey I really do. Plain and simple JR was drunk and angry."

She didn't understand, "Why would he shoot people Dad? What did Kendall or Angie or Brooke or I ever do to him? I barely know the guy."

"Jesse can't be sure until he talks to JR what exactly was going through his mind. Jesse believes that JR was going after Marissa."

Greenlee thought back to the night of the shooting. She remembered Erica walking towards Bianca. "Erica was going to go after you Dad but I stopped her. I hated her hurting you again. She yelled at me like she always does and went to cry on Bianca's shoulder. I couldn't let her get away with hurting you again so I went after her. I walked into the bullets didn't I?"

Jackson nodded his head, "It appears that way. We think after you were hit JR freaked out and just started shooting that's why so many people got shot."

"If I hadn't gone after Erica he would have stopped after hitting Marissa then. If I had just left her alone this might never have happened." Greenlee shook her head as the guilt built up inside her.

Jackson grabbed on to her shoulders, "Greenlee no one can know for sure what JR was going to do that night. No one but JR Chandler is responsible for what happened and I'm going to make sure he pays for this." He put his arms around her and held her as she cried.

Angie met Bianca and Marissa at the Pediatric ICU. "Marissa I know this is going to be very hard for you to see AJ like this. He is very sick. He's extremely pale and he's lost a lot of weight over the last week. We've got him on high dose antibiotics and are trying to stop the spread of the infection."

Marissa nodded her head, "Please Angie let me see him."

Angie took her into his room and left her alone with him.

Marissa picked up his small hand and held it to her lips. She rubbed her hand through his soft blond hair and watched him as he slept.

"AJ, Mommies' here. I'm here with you baby. I'm not going anywhere until you're all better." She rubbed her finger gently on his cheek letting him know she was there.

Tears streamed down her face as she watched his labored breaths and saw the sweat from the fever bead up on his forehead. All she could do is sit there and watch him sleep. She was his mother and should be able to take care of him but now was powerless.

She watched as his eyes opened to reveal his striking blue eyes. "Mommy Marissa?"

She smiled down at him, "I'm here baby. Mommies here."

"Where did Mommy Babe go? She was here with me earlier. I miss Mommy Babe."
