Leo Strikes Again

I stay there for the rest of the day and after about an hour alone with Faith her parents show up.

“We reieved the result and Faith sufferd a crack in the scull and we will have to opperate to fix that so nothing goes wrong with anything. We don’t want it to get bigger.”

After the docter is finished with Faith’s parents I am able to ask him my question.

“Hey, doc., do you know who hit her?” I ask eagerly.

“Some drunk driver…I think his name’s Leo Johnson…he was here but we’re letting the police take him now, he should be in the lobby.”

Leo! I should have known. Now he’s dead.

I run, again. Doc. was right, they are still in the lobby. I look around for Leo. I spot him. I run,agian.

I get there and I grab him by the neck and we fall to the ground. A rush of anger building.

“What the hell were you thinking! You could have killed her you son of a bitch! You fractured her freakin skull! What’s your problem!”

The cops pull us apart and they leave, I walk back to Faith’s room.
