Well done, Katie

Cindy buries her face against Wes' chest, no words adequate to express how she feels. A constant prayer is on her mind, but the worry still grips her heart.

Jade sits quietly by herself, overhearing Wes. She sinks lower in her chair, unsure how to feel. She'd only known Jason a couple days, but he had seemed so nice. She liked him. How could something like this happen? Why would God allow it to happen?

Sparky's eyes light up as he looks at Annie's material. "This is great...I've often thought about getting on the mission field myself. Do you have a team you go with each time?"



The ride to the hospital is quiet, and once they arrive, Mick takes the lead, asking a nurse where they can find everyone.


The intruder's eyebrows shoot up, taken completely off guard by this young lady's stance, and her gun. He hadn't been told about her. All he'd been told were about the two guys in the hall. His own aim wavers. He might have been sent here to do a job, but he wasn't going to risk his own neck for it. He drops his gun, letting it slide on the floor and raises his hands slightly.

Austin looks towards the room as he hears Katie's voice. "What the..." He's on his feet to check in an instant and his eyes widen at the scene. "What on earth is going on here?" Anger courses through his veins as he picks up the intruder's gun, and automatically pins the guy's arms behind his back. "Who are you??!"

Con enters next and looks back and forth between Katie and the man, his face paling as he realizes that neither he or Austin knew someone was there. "Katie...are you okay?"


The man sneers at them. "Ha! You think I'm gonna tell you? I'll see a lawyer first, thank you very much."

Austin slams him face-first up against the wall. "Who were you going to shoot? All of us? Or just a helpless kid?!"

"It doesn't matter," the intruder laughs sadistically. "I was gonna finish him off to get the thing over with. Wouldn't want him to talk before he left the land of the living. Mark my words - he's a gonner and there's nothing anyone can do about it. We finished him off hours ago."

By now, several nurses are present, and JT has rejoined them, bewildered, and having someone call the poilce to take the man away.
