A Third Danger |Henry Danger Fanfic| DISCONTINUED

37. Navy Serge

It has been almost a week since the death of Jack Thornton who tragically died in a landslide at the age of 39. He left behind a wife to raise 5 kids and a future grandchild. A sixteen-year-old daughter who was with child, a 10-year-old son, two seven-year-old daughters, and an almost four-month-old son. Briar was left to raise these children alone while balancing a full-time job.

The house wasn't the same anymore. It felt empty, and the family wasn't the same, their crazy hilarious moments were gone, and all of the music seemed to stop, and everyone was wearing dark and or bleak colors.

Friday, August 12, 2016... Then the phone started to ring. "Hello?" Elizabeth said into the phone.

=====

"Hello, I'm calling from the Green Bay Military Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin. May I ask who is on the line?"

=====

"I'm Sergeant Elizabeth Lillian Thornton."

=====

"So you're the Sergeant Majors' daughter?"

=====

"Yes, I am."

=====

"It turns out that there was another Jack Thornton in the mountains that day at the sight where he was presumed dead." Elizabeth's breath stopped, "would you mind coming to confirm that this man is your father?"

=====

"Yes!" She replied quickly, "yes of course!"

"We recommend that you dress in your dress blues."

"Okay, thank you! I'll see you as soon as I can." And then she hung up the phone.

Later that day... When Henry came over to the house he saw Elizabeth in her formal military uniform.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm heading over to Green Bay." She stated, making sure her hair was in the sock bun that was required.

"Wait, the doctor's appointment is today!? I thought it was in two weeks!" He said, pulling out his phone.

"No, Henry." She said laughing at his reaction, "that's not why I'm going to Green Bay."

"Then why are you?"

She looked around to make sure no one else was here, "they think that there's a small chance my dad could still be alive." Henry's mouth dropped open, "they want me to go to Green Bay to confirm."

"I'm going with you." Was the first thing Henry said.

"Henry," Elizabeth whined.

"No, listen!" He said taking her hands, "I don't want anything bad to happen to you or our baby, and things are a little emotional right now, your dad died, I get it. But that doesn't mean you have to face it alone." He said interlocking eyes with her.

"You are so nice to me that it kills me," Elizabeth stated plainly.

Green Bay Military Hospital (hospice wing)... A woman in uniform led Elizabeth and Henry to a room, Elizabeth walked in, but the woman put her arm up preventing Henry from entering, "standard protocol, just the Sergeant please." Henry looked at her and then to Elizabeth Lillian.

"I'll be okay." She reassured him.

Henry nodded and stayed outside the room, the door closed, the nurse stood by the door, and a man stood by the head of the bed.
