Pete and Rose hurried to the hospital.

Once inside Pete told Rose to wait while he asked the front desk John's room number.

Rose stood their feeling horrible; wishing this wasn't actually happening.

A minute later Pete came back and they located John's room.

The first thing she saw was John lying in a hospital bed; it was her worst nightmare come true.

John was almost unrecognizable;Rose felt sick as she walked in.

There was an I.V hooked in his arm; he had wires and plugs all around him like was a machine.

He was pale and he laid there perfectly still; Rose choked back her tears.

"Are you alright, honey?" Pete asked.

She nodded as she slowly approached his bed.

Her hand shook as she touched his arm.

"Oh, John what did those aliens do to you?" Rose said softly.

Then she heard a woman's voice behind her.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

They turned and saw a female doctor with long black hair standing behind them.

Rose struggled to speak. "A-are the doctor who's t-treating h-him?"

"I am. My name is Dr. Thomas; are you a member of his family?" She asked.

"Actually I'm Pete Tyler and this is my daughter Rose. We're um friends of John Smith, can you tell us what happened?" Pete asked.

"Well, it seems Mr. Smith was shot by a laser gun." Dr. Thomas replied.

Rose closed her eyes and her heart dropped.

"We believe he's suffering from severe wounds and burns on his side and near his chest." She added.

"Will he make it?" Pete asked.

"Well, we're prepping him for surgery and hopefully that'll give him a 50/50 chance." Dr. Thomas said.

Rose looked at her with tears in her eyes. "He's going to die isn't he?"

"We're doing everything we can. Go home and try to get some rest." She suggested before she left.

Rose wiped her eyes as Pete placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Honey are you okay?" He said.

"I can't rest. What if something-" She couldn't bring herself to say the words.

Pete held her as she cried. "Now sweetie you know what a fighter he is. John might make it."

His words were little comfort to her and she continued to cry.

But her sadness turned into anger when she recognized the Col. from U.N.I.T. talking to Dr. Thomas.

She charged over to him and yelled. "You did this to John!"

He looked at her confused. "I'm sorry?"

His calm tone made her more furious and she slammed him against the wall.

"Madame have you lost your mind?" He said shocked.

Pete rushed to her and tried to pull her off him. "Come on Rose stop it!"

"No!" Rose yelled.

"Please sweetheart you need to stop!" Pete said.

Rose continued to glare at the Col.

"No, he hurt him, he hurt John!" She cried.

"If you don't stop you won't be able to see him." He warned.

Rose finally calmed down and let the Col. go.

"I'm sorry sir." She mumbled.

The Col. nodded. "Quite alright." He said as he straighten his uniform.

Pete put his arm around her shoulders. "Lets go home. They'll call us if anything's changed."

Rose just nodded and they left.

Other than Pete reassuring Rose that John was going to be alright the ride was mainly silent.

When they got back to the house Jackie was waiting for them.

"Rose sweetheart what happened?" Jackie said.

"They hurt him, mum! They hurt John!" She whimpered.

Rose quickly crumbled in her mum's arms sobbing.
