October 15, 2010-Dublin Ireland

It was one of the visits to Wade where Justin & Cassie both made the trip that day. They were each in a chair on a side of his bed.
"Why do you keep coming?" Cassie asked. "Surly you have your own family to worry of?"
"I do…but I try to keep in touch with them…right now my place is here…he needs us." He looked down trying not to sigh as he took a hand brushing Wade's cheek lightly feeling the two scars across the flesh. He could not help but wonder about them. He knows the story he was told…the same one the general public was told. The three men were in some freak explosion…that Wade must have been cut in the fall. He looked back at Cassie before standing up moving towards the door. He shut the door most of the way before moving back to the chair.

"What is it Justin?"
"I want some answered from you…please."
"Answers to what?"
"What really happened to Wade & the others."
"You were already told."
"I know…but we both know that isn't the real story…" He looked at Wade's face again. "We both know this wasn't from some plant scratch…" Justin looked back at Cassie. "Also the emergency surgery he needed a few months after it…Come on haven't I showed I am loyal? Haven't I showed I am not going anywhere unless he wakes up & sends me away?"

"Ev-even…then you…won't…" Came a pained voice from between them.
"Wade?!" Both cried out looking back towards the bed seeing him slowly licking his lips.
"Yeah…" He started to cough.
"Take it easy Wade." Cassie told him. "Let me go get your nurse." She got up moving from the room.
"Ca-can't be-lieve you…" He coughed again.
"You can berate me later Wade…please…don't strain yourself." Justin timidly reached for Wade's hand & to his relief it was not pulled away.
"Th-the oth-others?" He opened his eyes slowly looking at Justin. Justin was almost surprised to see what looked like true concern in Wade's eyes…then again one of the people he wondered of was John.

"Last I heard of…no change…"
"Where?"
"They were moved back to the states about 2 months after the accident…"
"Two months?" He cringed.
"OK that enough of that." Said a nurse from the door way. "No stressing the patient out sir."
"I didn't mean to…"
"Please step outside…"
"No…le-let him stay…" Wade tried to plead shocking Justin, but brought a small smile to his lips.
"I am sorry Mr. Barrett those are the rules. Your friend & sister can return once the doctor comes & checks you over…maybe about an hour."

"It's ok Wade…I will be back…I promise." Wade slowly nodded releasing Justin's hand. Justin got up from the chair & moved into the hall with Cassie.
"Well shall we go get a bite to eat? I can also call Sheamus & let him know the good news?"
"Sounds good." They turned heading down the hall they knew of a small diner near the center that many of the families knew of. Reaching the diner they went in ordering a small diner it being late at night.
"What time is it there anyways?" Cassie asked. "I can never keep track."
"Well I don't know what time zone Sheamus is in…anywhere between 2 pm & 11 am."
"Well late enough either way I guess." She pulled out her phone dialing.

Sheamus was working in the arena gym with some of the other guys before they had to get ready for the show that night. "Yo man your towel's ringing." Hunter told him pausing the sparring they were doing.
"What…" hearing it. "Oh thanks fella." He went over to it pulling his phone out seeing the number.
"Cassie love what tis it?…hold on, say that again?…He is? That great how he seem?…well I can understand that…nay last I heard. One moment love."

Sheamus walked back over to Hunter. "Hunter?"
"Yeah?"
"I know ye been keeping an eye on…well on John & Undertaker…do ye know if there been any change in their condition?"
Hunter heaved a sigh. "Not the last time I heard anything."
"I am sorry…bu-but ye may want to have the others keeping an eye out…Wade just woke up."
Hunter lightly nodded. "Good…that does leave hope for the others."

"Good? GOOD!" Randy yelled out just coming into the gym. "It's good that ass hole is awake while our friends still suffer?!"
"Hey that me soon to be brother-in-law ye trashing Orton." Sheamus told him
"I don't give two shits about that waste of space…"
"OK Calm down both of you." Hunter told them. "Sheamus get back to your call while I handle this." Sheamus nodded while Hunter headed for Randy.
"Don't…just DON'T!" Randy yelled.
"Randy calm down…think of it…if he is awake there is a chance the others will soon too."

"But don't you see it if it wasn't for him…they wouldn't of even been in this condition!"
"Yes I do know that…"
"So sorry if I am not jumping for joy he is the first to wake."
"Yes the first…"

Later that evening back in Boston John's brother Sean was visiting him. Each member of his family took turns no matter how hard it may be for them. Some came alone, some with others. Tonight Sean was alone. He would sit by his brother's bed talking to him. He would spend part of his time reading to John about different cars in the newest magazines & make comments about ones that might be good for his collection.

While grabbing another magazine from his bag he thought he hard a sound. "John?" He lifted his head moving to take John's hand. "Johnny…bro?" He heard the sound again & realized it was from the other bed. He sighed looking down. He was slightly torn between staying by John's side to checking his friend. "I'll be right back Johnny…" He put John's hand down moving towards the other bed.

"Taker?"
Parched lips slowly opened. "Jo-John?"
"I'm his brother."
"Jo-John?"
Sean was unsure what he was being asked so how could he answer. "Let me get the aide…" He left the room to find the aide.
Taker slowly opened his eyes, they were currently a dulled green as he could only see the bright white ceiling, a groan from his lips closing them again. "Jo-John…" He whispered, more than his body was weak as he felt his soul ache.

The aide walked in a few moments later insisting Sean return later. He ask that he at least be able to grab his bag before leaving. He said bye to John…& quickly to Taker before he left to make the drive back to his place. On the way there he brought up the blue tooth to call the house.
"Hello mom?…yeah it's me…no, no change with John…I was asked to leave because his roommate started to wake up…I know he had a brother that came to visit…do we have a way to reach him?…I see…yeah hopefully they should you would think…I am coming home for now mom see you guys soon…yeah mom we can hope it will be a good sign for John as well…bye." He hung up & just finished his drive for home.
