Secrets 2

Donald and Richard made it to the hospital. "Dr. Turner, Mr. Turner I was just about ready to call you." Dr. Newman said.
"How is he?" Richard asked.
"He's in a relaxed state right now Mr. Turner I have bandaged and stitched him back together. You can go in and see him if you like, he's in room 666."
"What's he doing on the sixth floor?" Donald asked.
"It was the only room available when he arrived Dr. Turner. Dr. Turner can I have a word with you."
"Yes, what is it?"
"When I was in the operation room, I examined the x-ray the nurse took on your father. The tumor in your father's brain has gotten bigger, I even saw it as I was stitching him up. I thought about taking it out but I wasn't sure what it would do to his brain if I took it out. I could have killed him if I took it out. Come with me I'll show you the x-ray."
Dr. Newman lead Dr. Turner down to his office where he rummaged through a file in one of the cabinets. He then pulled out the x-ray that was taken recently and handed it to Donald.
Donald looked at the x-ray carefully the tumor that was visible in his head was bigger then the last x-ray that was taken not that long ago. The tumor seemed to grow twice the size from last time.
"Is there anything we can do?" Donald asked.
"Perhaps, we can get rid of the tumor but it would be extremely difficult. For starters we wont know what will happen once we remove it, it could kill him or just make him into a potato as it were. Your father has lived a long steady life Dr. Turner I hate to be the one to say this but the chances of him surviving this operation if we go through with it is slim to none."
Dr. Turner frowned at those odds. He hated hearing that about any of his patients, but Dr. Newman was right it was slim to none at this rate. Donald remembered the first time a patient died on him it was about thirty years agoin the operating room with Dr. Read. Thank God he wasn't the one who had to tell the wife about the loss, he did see the hurt devistation on her face at loosing her husband though. "I think I'll go check on my dads if you don't mind." Donald said putting the xray down.
"By all means be my guest, your not on shift today."
Donald walked out of the office and took the elevator to the sixth floor.
***********
Richard sat in a chair next to the bed, to say he was upset was an understatement he was devistated to see John lying there in the bed his forehead completely bandaged up his wrist in a cast. "John why do you do this to yourself? Is it because of me...have I done this to you." Richard grabbed John's good hand and gave it a light squeeze.
John slowly opened his eyes. "Richard what are you doing here? Where am I?" he asked in a rather raspy voice.
"Your in the hospital. And why shouldn't I be here?"
"The hospital? Richard I want to apologize for what I did to you I wasn't in the right state of mind. I should have never..."
Richard placed a finger to his lips. "Hush now there's no need for apologizing John. You've been doing that for quite some time now, we can talk about our relationship issues later you need your rest now."
"But..."
"No buts John."
John knew better then to argue with Richard any further on the matter as he closed his eyes again to sleep. Richard smiled, it seems for now he had his old John back the one he fell for. With that in mind he decided to go check up on Donald, only to have his son right there at the door when he opened it.
"How is he?"
"He opened his eyes and I talked to him for a bit before I told him that he should rest for now."
Donald nodded as he came over to his dad and examined him.

Susan walked down an alley to meet with someone. "Hey Sue howz it going?" the man asked.
"Ok so far I guess. How's life being the new leader of Bruno's gang Chuck?"
"Not Bad. So what brings you out here?"
"Well, I finally found out who that cop was."
"Yea I can guess who it waz?"
"Dee Laytner, I promised Deelia I wouldn't hurt him in anyway."
"DeeDee huh? I haven't seen her in forever. Dee Laytner, that punk ass cop."
"Yea i hear he's pregnant."
"You don't say? He's one of those disgusting freaks."
"Yes, and that's not all apparently he is Deelia's brother."
"No!"
"So what do you want nme to do?"
"Well I plan to lure Dee out for a nice chat since he doesn't know who I am really. Since I promised Deelia I wouldn't hurt him I'll let you and your gang members do that, as long as you don't kill him Deelia would thus put the blame on me and i can't loose her trust as it were she's still vitally important."
"I see. Very well Sue, but what are you going to do about Deelia?"
"All in good time Chuck."
Chuck nodded. "alright keep in touch Sue."
"Will do Chuck."
Sue said her goodbyes and left the alley.

Ryo and Dee were on there way home from the cabin. Dee had enjoyed the weekend away from the city, watching the sunset every night down by the lake, actually getting up early to watch the sunrise every morning. Dee and Ryo looked at old photos of Ryo as a child. Dee thought they were cuteto which Ryo only smiled and gave him a kiss.
When they got home they found Bikky, Lai, and Mikey asleep in the living room. The girls they found asleep in there bed. Bikky stirred in his sleep. "Oh your home, that house seller Ms. O'conner called asking if you were still interested in that house, Grandma Ethel called checking in on Dee's condition and wanting to know when the baby shower was going to be. Oh and Dee some lady came by asking for."
"A lady?"
"Yea, she didn't tell me what she wanted with you."
"I see well I guess it can wait until morning. The girls are asleep in our bed Ryo." Dee said making a frown,
"Don't worry about it Dee we'll sleep somewhere else for the night."
"Where would that be?"
"You can sleep in Bikky's room and I'll crash here with the boys."
Dee frowned, but didn't argue with that because he was too tired to argue. He headed for Bikky's room to his surpise to find it clean. He laid his head down on the pillow and was out cold.
