Concerned

“See, I told ya we shoulda just waited until Monday.”

Mike throws Kyle a withering look as they head across the hospital parking lot. “At least we know where Jason is now. Seems kinda strange.”

“Well we don’t really know him that well,” Phil reasons.

“Maybe we just met him, but it feels like I’ve known him for ages.” Mike shrugs. “He just seemed to really click with us, ya know?”

“Yeah, I know,” Phil agrees as he opens the truck door.

Kyle waits for Phil to get in so he can climb into the backseat, and he throws one last glance up to the second floor of the hospital.

“You coming, genius?” Phil prods.

“Yeah, yeah.” Kyle slips into the small side door. “Just thinking.”


Wyatt sighs deeply as he walks slowly down the hospital hall. Katie should be getting finished with her therapy soon…he dreaded talking to her about what was on his mind… at a time like this, he hoped it would not make things worse for her. But if what he thought was true, it was going to be harder on him than her. It needed to be said though…it was time.
He knocks on Katie’s door, unsure if she’s in her room or not.


Con shakes his head, bewildered and a little hurt at the newspaper. “I don’t know…I just don’t know.”

As Herb comes and leaves the food for Katie then walks away, Con looks over at Jamie and sees the tears in her eyes. His mind immediately shifts from himself to her, his compassion and concern overtaking him. He sets his slice of pizza down and cocks his head a little to try and see her face. “Hey…you okay?”
