Henry did not leave his son's side the entire day. He was adamant that the mad man would not be able to finish the job. He was careful not to alert Shawn to the threats of the kidnaper. He figured he had enough to worry about just staying alive.

Shawn was awake and alert for a good portion of the Day. Lassie and Jules were busy chasing down clues but Karen stopped by and Karen brought Buzz with her.

When Shawn saw Karen he smiled at her and gave her a wave. When he saw Buzz he cried. He didn't remember seeing him when they found him the only thing he remembered was the kidnapper showing him pictures of his dead body. Shawn looked at his Dad and then looked at Buzz then back at his Dad and signed the word for dead and gave him a confusing look.

He chuckled and told Shawn that they only made it look like Buzz was dead. He was knocked around a bit but he survived and is fine. Buzz saw his concern and came over and hugged Shawn he said, "I am just fine buddy. I am sorry that you thought I was dead but I wasn't. I am glad that you aren't, you know, either. Shawn smiled up at the gentle giant and signed "Me too".

When Gus came before his route Shawn looked at him with a sparkle in his eye. Gus was so exited to see his best friend awake. They shared a signed conversation and for a moment they weren't visitor and patient, they were just best friends. Before he left, Henry pulled Gus over to the side of the room so Shawn would not hear him and he asked if he could bring Him his gun from home. Gus looked at him weird and asked why he wanted his gun? Henry didn't go into detail, he just told him that the maniac that hurt Shawn was going to try and finish the job and he wanted to be ready for him, if he got past police.

Gus looked over Henry's shoulder at Shawn and nodded in agreement. When Shawn noticed them whispering he picked up a bottle of soda from the table in front of him and threw it on the ground. Both looked at Shawn ready to jump to action. They saw a very angry looking Shawn, he signed "What, tell me". Gus said, "Talk to your Dad. I will see ya tonight buddy."

Gus left and Henry took his place back at Shawn's side. Henry sat and thought how much he should tell Shawn. He was silent for a few moments and then Shawn smacked at Henry's arm and signed, "He is going to try and finish isn't he?" Henry closed his eyed to settle himself and he shook his head yes. Shawn laid back into the bed and closed his eyes tight. Henry was trying to think how to encourage him when he noticed that Shawn was crying.

Henry reached over to Shawn's face and gently pulled it to where he could look him eye to eye. Henry said, "Listen to me young man, he might be coming to finish the job, but if he gets past the police, he is going to find a pissed of father in his path that will be damned if he lets him hurt another hair on his boys head."

Shawn smiled at his Dad and signed, "Thank you." He patted the side of his face, never forget that you are the most important thing in my life son, and I would lay down my life to protect you."

That afternoon the guard that was keeping watch over Shawn got a text from the Chief. The text asked him to come down and help her bring something to Shawn. The officer stuck his head into the room and told the two men that he would be right back. As soon as the officer left a male nurse they had never seen before came into the room.

He was very cordial and even brought Henry a cup of coffee. He handed Henry the coffee and then sat down with Shawn's chart and started to chat. Within 3 sips of the coffee Henry was starting to feel funny and the male nurse just kept chatting but he had a smirk on his face. Another minute later Henry passed out in his chair.

Shawn looked frightened and then looked at the male nurse who wasn't kind anymore he had an evil look on his face and he said, "Well, well Shawn, don't worry about dear ole Dad he is just going to sleep for a while. I want him to be rested for when he sees what I am going to do to you."

Shawn was terrified he tried to scoot away from the attacker but he was really not able to move far with all of his injuries. The kidnapper reached over and he started to touch Shawn's trach tube and said, "You won't be needing this." Then he ripped the tube out of his neck. That left Shawn bleeding heavily and gasping for air. As he was gasping for air and slowly bleeding out the kidnapper took his pocketknife out of his pocket and carved the word "GOTCHA" on Shawn's chest.

Down stairs Lassie pulled into the hospital and he became enraged when he saw the Officer who was supposed to be standing guard standing at the entrance. He ran to him and said, "What the Hell are you doing not guarding Spencer?" The young officer answered, "I got a text that the Chief needed me to come down and pick up something from her for Spencer."

Lassiter looked at him funny, "The Chief is not even at the office today her daughter is sick." Then the horrible thought that went through his head showed on his face, "Oh my God, he wouldn't" with that he took off running and told the younger man to follow him. They raced up to Shawn's room.

When they opened the door what they saw made the younger officer loose his lunch in the trashcan by the door. Henry was passed out could and Shawn was gasping for air and turning blue and he was lying in a huge puddle of his own blood. Lassiter began to scream for help. He ran over to Shawn and he didn't know how to help him, he told him help was on the way and rubbed his hair until he heard the doctor coming then he got out of the way and went to Henry.

They doctors came in and feverishly began to work to replace the trach tube and clean up the wound but they soon realized he would have to go into the operating room and they rushed him out of the room and to the OR.

Lassiter gently felt for a pulse on Henry and there was one. He looked at the still dry heaving officer and told him to go to the waiting room and call for back up. He then patted Henry's face and Henry slowly woke up.

Henry opened his eyes and looked at Lassiter funny, then he noticed Shawn was not there and where his bed. Where his bed was now was only a huge puddle of blood. Henry started to stand up but quickly stumbled back down into the chair. With tears in his eyes, he shakily asked Lassiter, "Did the Bastard finish the job?"

Lassiter patted Henry's arm and said, "He did, not sure yet if he succeeded or not. Shawn was just taken into the operating room to try and fix what the man did to him."
