When we got to the hospital everyone was already there. Marie, mom, Jr, dad and even Steve Gomez were all sitting waiting impatiently. Mom walked up to me and hugged me as soon as she saw me. "Honey I'm so glad your here." I brushed away a tear that was rolling down my cheek. "What happened?" Steve turned to me. "Krystal, your uncle Hank was involved in a shooting. We believe that he was the target." I blinked. "Target? Who was he being targeted by?" Steve shook his head. "I don't know yet, but we are working on it." Marie looked at Steve. "You were suppose to protect him! Instead you were in Texas! Your his partner and then the DEA took his gun how was he suppose to defend himself!" Steve shook his head. "Marie calm down he is going to be okay." She glared at him. "The DEA is not welcome here!" Steve looked at dad then walked out. We all sat down and waited for the doctor to come and talk to us. I couldn't help but worry. Who was targeting Hank and why? Who could possibly want him dead. Jesse did but I didn't believe he would do this to me. He loved me more than he hated Hank. No it had to be someone else. I looked over at dad who was also deep in thought. I looked at mom. "Mom who is watching Holly?" She looked over at me. "A neighbor." I went back to thinking. I hoped Hank was going to be okay but I couldn't stop thinking that maybe I had something to do with this. Maybe someone wanted to take revenge on me and dad, but who? Obviously there was something bigger at stake here. Dad got up. "Krystal can you come with me outside." I nodded and followed. "Yes dad?" He looked at me. "I just wanted to tell you that its all set up. Gale, my ex partner, was fired so you and Jesse can start right away." I nodded. "Great." My phone started ringing it was Jesse so I answered. "Hey babe whats up."

"When Paige picked me up from the hospital, I saw they were bringing in Hank. Whats going on?" I took a deep breath.

"He was shot Jesse. Its bad!" I couldn't help but start crying. 

"Krystal he is going to be okay. Don't cry I wish I could be over there with you but that wouldn't be a good idea." 

"Its okay I know." 

"So Victor, Gus's guy, picked me up at my house and drove me to this big superlab where Mr. White works. He told me to wait until you guys came." 

"Jesse I don't think we can come today. Here I will let you talk to dad." I gave the phone to him. 

"Jesse look tell Victor we can't make it today." Dad started arguing with him and hung up. I looked at him. "What did he say?" He sighed. "That we have to get started because its our responsibility. Look at him talking about being responsible." He chuckled. 

"I told him we couldn't. Gus has to understand we have a problem right?" Dad nodded. We went back to the waiting room. Every now and then the doctor would come up to us and tell us how it was going. I was really worried. Jenny stopped by. I was glad she did because it cheered up my brother a bit. We all waited for good news. We hoped.

Next Day

Jr and I didn't go to school today. We insisted on going to the hospital to support Marie. Mom and her spent the night at the hospital hoping for further news on how Hank was. So far he was undergoing surgery. Doctors said there was a good chance he would be just fine, but there was always that slight chance that things could go wrong. I'm trying to stay positive but shit like this happens. One minute your fine and then the next your family is at a funeral with you being dropped feet into the ground. I hoped that wasn't the case here. Hank was brave and tough he could get through this I know he can. He just has to fight hard. 

We sat in the waiting room for a very long time. Jesse texted me saying that he and Paige were in the lab waiting for us and that we needed to start cooking pronto. I told dad and he said he just had to wait for us because there was no way we could leave without Marie or mom asking questions. So we just sat there. Dad broke the silence. "Does anyone else want to desperatly brush there teeth? I know I do. If you all want I could go back to the house and get supplies." Marie nodded. "That would be great Walt thanks." I looked at dad. "I will come with you." He nodded and we headed out the door. 

On our way out we ran into Steve Gomez and a couple of other DEA agents. "Hey guys hows Hank?" I looked at him. "He just got out of surgery but we don't know much else." He nodded. "I just hope the son of a bitch who did this to him gets what he deserves. You want to see him? He is pretty bad off and the other one, his brother, died. Hank gave them both what they deserved." Dad nodded and we followed. So the guys who shot Hank were brothers and one of them was dead. I was glad but why would they go after Hank? Steve led us to a room where the guy was. His name was Leonel and apparently he was a major drug cartel guy and so was his brother. He was related to Tuco Salamanca. Steve filled us in with the details. We looked inside the room. Leonel's legs were chopped off at the knee. He must of heard us talking because he turned his head towards us. Steve snickered. "Morning asshole!" Leonel stared at me and dad  angrily for an insane amount of time. Then he tried getting up from his bed. He fell to the ground and crawled his way to the door by that time the doctors came to help him. I looked at dad. He was just as confused as I was. He recognized us both but how? Maybe Tuco told them about us. They were after all his cousins but why would he look at us like he wanted to kill us. 

After that dad and I went to the house to get supplies like candy, snack, clothes and stuff. I went to Jr's room to pick up a few things when I noticed a book on his desk. It was called Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden. It was about Pablo Escobar the great cocaine king. I decided to take it to him. 

We headed back to the hospital. I looked at dad. "Do you think Leonel knew us or recognized us from somewhere? He looked at us like he wanted to murder us." Dad nodded."He was Tuco's cousin so I think he might have talked to him about us. But what I cannot understand is why he would look at us like that. Maybe he thinks we killed Tuco." I nodded. "This is all making sense remember when Tuco wanted us all to go to Mexico with him and cook there? He said his cousins were going to pick us up right! Maybe these guys were those cousins and when they got there they noticed that Tuco was gone and assumed he was dead and we killed him." Dad nodded. We got to the hospital and called Jesse. We told him what we thought and he completly agreed. Those were his cousins and the had wanted to kill us. Jesse told us that Victor had come in asking why they weren't cooking yet. Paige and him insisted to start cooking without them but dad told him no because he didn't know how to use any of the equipment. 


Dad decided to call Gus and explain. He told him he would have 400 pounds by the end of the week. i just hoped we could pull it off. That was alot of meth to cook.

Hey guys I hoped you like the chapter and I just want to recomend that book, Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden, because its really good and it was mentioned in the show too so I really encourage you to read it because if you like that sort of thing its an awesome book. :)
