Frank sat down beside his mom, "I talked to the doctor." Laura didn't even glance at her son; her eyes were so focused on Fenton. She was holding his hand and praying for a miracle. Frank sighed and continued, "His blood pressure is final back where it should be. His heart rate is still a little high and his swelling on his brain isn't going down." Frank took a deep breath as the doctor was walking into the room with some nurses. "Mom, dad has some rupture brain vessels in his brain, they have to do a surgery to fix it."

Laura looked at her son and at the nurses who was starting to prep her husband. "What?" She looked at a complete loss, "I don't understand."

The doctor stepped beside her, "Mrs. Hardy, I am Dr. Ally Baker. I am a neurosurgeon from New York City." Laura and Frank gave her a confused look after the New York City part and the doctor continued, "Your daughter-in-law, Anna, flew me here as soon as she found out he had brain injuries. I have talked to the doctor who is treating him and going over all his x-ray and scans. I have caught the vessels that burst in his brain. I have located them and they are in a more difficult spot to fix but I have performed this same surgery before."

Frank was blunt and to the point, "success rate?"

"I have never lost anyone on the operating table and I don't plan on today being that day." Frank nodded happy with her explanation. She smiled at him, "I promise I will take good care of your father. Mrs. Hardy the nurse just needs you to sign some forms so we can proceed."

Mrs. Hardy began signing the papers and the nurse went more in depth about the surgery. Frank turned to the doctor, "Dr. Baker, how long will the surgery take?"

"About 3 hours as long as there are no complications, and he will be in recovery for a while before anyone can see him. I'm hoping this will help him wake up."

Frank nodded and shook her hand, "thank you." She smiled at him and went over to the nurse and walked out of the room to prepare for surgery. He stepped outside the room and called Anna.

"Hello Anna Hardy." She sounded exhausted and stressed.

"It's me Frank. The doctor you flew in just came and talked to mom and me."

"Oh good, hang on let me put you on speaker. Joe and I are trying to get this press conference set up." He heard some rustling around and Joe speaking, "So Frank, what did the good ole' doctor say?"

"First off I wouldn't really call her old she is in about her 40s, anyway. She is prepping dad for surgery."

"WHAT?" Joe screamed into the phone and he could hear Anna telling him, "keep it down Kendall is finally napping. Go on Frank, sorry."

"He has some vessels in his brain that need repair. It will be about 3 hours as long as no complications. Anna just how good is this doctor?"

"I flew her in from New York City, she is one of the top neurosurgeons in the country." Anna replied and Joe added, "top is in top 10?"

"Really, Joe? If you want to get technical she is second best. Before you say another word, let me just add that the top best was in California."

"Thanks, Anna. She does seem to know what she is doing. I am happy with the way she is handling things. I don't even want to know what you are shelling out for this."

Joe started to talk and Anna cut him off, "family is worth everything."

"I'm going to go, I will stay here with mom. If you needed me let me know."

"Okay and Frank. Aunt T is on her way there with Biff."

"Thanks, Joe. Bye."

Frank hung up the phone and went to go see how his mom was before his Aunt came and got everyone even more stirred up.

Anna sighed and looked at Joe, "Frank doesn't need to know how much I'm paying the doctor. Why would you even begin to tell him that?"

"I don't know." Joe shrugged at his wife and kissed her quickly on the lips, "Sorry, I won't bring it up."

"Thanks, honey. Now we still have a few more news outlets to call. Everyone will be here at ten am."

"I'm getting nervous." Joe rubbed the temples of his head. He was still so unsure of this whole plan but this was their best shot and he hoped he wouldn't be in jail when the twins were born. Anna smiled softly at her husband, "I'm sure you both can pull this off." Joe nodded and knew his wife was trying to be positive.

Nancy paced around her small room. She was tired of being so cooped up. She was definitely going stir crazy to say the very least. At least she made contact to Frank. She thanked God that the guy who brought her food everyday decided to make contact. He made it clear he would do what he could to help her that this had gone too far. She knew from listening to the voices that they had discovered who he was, but because of that they had to rob a bank sooner. Nancy was so confused and hearing every other word of the conversations didn't help much. She knew this guy's main goal was to get his brother so why make them jump through hoops. Nancy grabbed the paper under her mattress along with the pencil and began to write another letter.

Frank was sitting in the waiting room trying to dig through the papers they had found in his dad's car, along with going through his dad's phone. He needed to call the police station to figure out if dad found anything out if they found anything regarding Fenton but he would rather go down there or have Joe do it. A man hurried by Frank dropping a bunch of items on the floor and Frank bent down to help him. Frank went to hand him an envelope, "here, sir you dropped this."

"No sir that is yours." He quickly grabbed some other papers Frank had in his hand and hurried away. Frank studied the envelope, and after nothing alarming he opened it and took a deep breath.

Frank,

I don't have much more information. I know that you figured out who these guys are and I know what they are making you do. Please don't get caught. I love you.

I don't understand why this idiot is making you rob a bank when he wants his brother. That is his end goal is getting his brother. I did hear them talking about making people jump through hoops. I just don't get any of this. Be safe and send everyone my love. I don't know if I will be able to get you anymore letters. Just know how much I love you.

Always,

Nancy
