"Where are we going, detective?" Fiona asked as she followed William with Timothy in her arms
"The wife's clinic. It's the closest place." He said as he kept on checking Susannah's pulse
"Shouldn't they go to a hospital?"
William turns to her, "you may take Timothy to a hospital, but the only doctor, I trust is my wife."
"Lead the way"
They finally got to the hospital, when an older nurse kept blocking their access, "excuse me, sir, this is a women's clinic. You will have to take the children to the hospital"
Hearing the ruckus, Julia saw it was William, "William, what are…"
She dropped her clipboard onto the floor and ran to them in tears, "my love…" and checked her pulse
"I just checked before I came into the clinic, she's still alive, but barely"
Julia just nodded as she held back the tears, as the nurse kept saying, "Dr. Ogden, this is…"
"I know this is a clinic! But this is my daughter and I'm going to treat her" Julia screamed at her
The nurse backed away, as she grabbed the clipboard from the floor.
"Fiona?"
"This is Timothy, we found him."
Julia checked on his pulse, and nodded, "follow me. I'll get nurse Sullivan"
Within 10 minutes they got the children into the same room across from Julia's office.
As they checked the children's vitals, William called the station, "sir, we have Susannah…" as William held back the tears
"Murdoch?" Brackenreid asked
"She was barely alive when I found her. We also got Timothy, who was as well, barely alive."
"What hospital, you at?"
"Julia's clinic. I just wanted you to call the Greens and locate Mr. Collins about Timothy."
Brackenreid took a breather, as he yelled out, "Crabtree!"
This made William jump, "sir, what's going on?" he asked as he heard Brackenreid talking to George.
"Sorry, about that Murdoch. Crabtree is informing the Greens now, then we'll go and get Mr. Collins and bring him to the clinic."
"Thank you, sir. I would do it…but"
"Murdoch, no need to explain. We'll be there as soon as we can"
William hangs up the phone, as he sits back down on the bench beside, Fiona, who is holding an ice pack to her face and praying with her cross
"Aren't you going to pray, detective?"
"I am trying to in my head, but can't. Why would God let that school nearly kill my little girl and all those innocent children."
"I am thinking the same thing" she said with tears in her eyes
Few minutes go by, as William hears, "Murdoch?" and looks to see it's Brackenreid, George and Mr. Collins.
"Sir" and gives him a hug, "sorry…"
"It's ok"
"We're here for you, sir" George says and gives him a hug.
"How is my son?" Mr. Collins asked
"I haven't heard, I'm sorry." As William patted his shoulder, "how did the Greens take the news?"
"Mrs. Green was sobbing and wanted to come, but Mr. Green wouldn't let her." George said
"He didn't care…the bastard" Brackenreid said
William nodded, as he walked over to the wall and leaned against it, as he made a fist, "I want to kill them. The headmaster and the nun. I want to kill them"
"And he isn't wrong. He was tempted today, to kill the headmaster" Fiona said
"Who are you?" Brackenreid asked
"Sis…Fiona. I was a nun at the school. I left when we found Susannah and Timothy. They were my favorite children at the school."
"She also helped us locate the Greens and that led me to Mr. Collins."
Brackenreid, nodded, "I see. What happened to your face?"
"Just like the children, I was disciplined" she responded as she continued icing her face.
That's when the children's room door opened, as Julia came out with tears in her eyes.
William approached her, "Julia?"
"Susannah, is going to be fine. You found her just in time. But her injuries are…" as she takes a deep breath and holds William's hands, "she has multiple broken bones, including 3 ribs, right wrist, right leg, shoulder blade and also concussion. But further examination showed she has defensive wounds"
"Defensive. She defended herself?"
She did, as she hugged William.
"What about Timothy?" Mr. Collins asked
"Who are you?" Julia asked as she let go of William
"Oh, this is Timothy's father, Mr. Collins. Mr. Collins, my wife, Dr. Julia Ogden"
They shake hands, "what about his wards?"
"The wife wanted to come, but the husband didn't care, doctor" Brackenreid said
"I see"
"What about, Timothy? Is he going to be alright?"
Julia looked at him, and looked down and began crying, "his injuries were to severe…"
"No!" Mr. Collins fell down to the floor and sobbed, "no!"
Julia tried to comfort him, "I'm sorry. We tried everything. But he wasn't in pain when he passed. He also said tell Mr. Collins, I know he was my daddy and I love him"
He looks up at her, "he knew?"
"He did."
The men helped him up to his feet, as William handed him a handkerchief, "thank you" as he wiped his tears, "can I see him, Dr. Ogden? I need to say goodbye"
Julia nodded, "of course. I'll take you" as she led him to the room, as the men began crying, for the passing of Timothy, but relief that Susannah is ok.
As William hugs George and Thomas, he says, "I saved her in time. But couldn't save him."
"At least he didn't die in that horrible dudgeon, detective" Fiona said with tears in her eyes, clutching her cross.
"She's right Murdoch. You were just in time" Brackenreid said
William nodded as he wiped his tears.
