Pray

Wyatt offers a slight smile, realizing that Katie and Jason really had been more than acquaintances. Con had been right.
He gives Katie an encouraging nod. “We can pray for him…there’s nothing better than that.” He cocks his head back towards the living room. “Come on. Rest a while. You look like you could use it. Paperwork back at the office can wait.” He offers her his hand.


Jason’s eyes flutter open for a moment, dim lights surrounding him. He hears voices again…they seem far away…his body shakes with cold and from shock, and he desperately tries to bring himself back to alertness. He’s being moved again…he starts to feel warm…more relaxed….he lets his eyes drift shut again as he feels himself moving. More voices…more movement…why were they taking him outside….what was…. His thoughts lose reality once more.


The phone rings in the kitchen. Cindy looks up from the sink and seeing no one else around, goes to answer it. It’s Reese. He hadn’t been able to get a hold of Con.
As Cindy hears the news of Jason, she catches herself on the counter, her heart leaping into her throat. “Yes…I…I understand. Thank you…” Hanging up, her face goes pale and her hand makes its way to her mouth as a sob catches in her throat.
