why

Chapter 2

Its been a while but I'm back.

The rest of the ride to the hospital was quiet with a little chatter. We arrived at the hospital and rushed to the nurse' desk. She was a stout lady with long blond hair.she looked up from her computer screen and stared at us.Eric coughed and tried to get her attention.

" How can I help you?" She asked.

" Um yes. Our friend was shot and was brought here in an ambulance probably 10 minutes ago." Eric told her.

" Name ?" she pronounced.

" Matthew McGuire " I stated rather rushed. The nurse was startled by my action that she jumped but continued filling out the form as she could tell I was worried.

" He is going into surgery at the moment so you are going to have to wait until the doctors have cleared him to have visitors." She announced.

Eric said a thank you as I went to sit in the lobby. All I caught when I walked away was " Young love is so precious."Eric plopped down next to me and put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me to rest on his shoulder (if I may say so myself it was quite comfortable).

" You may not have noticed this but your excessive amount of eyeliner is smeared all around your cheeks." Eric whispered in my ear.

" Eric I don't give a fuck what I look like. I'm worried about Matt and everyone I love." I whispered back.

" Are you going to explain what is going on cuz' I really want to know." Eric questioned me.

" No not here. When Matt comes out of surgery and I don't know if this place has bugs." I told him.

" Bugs? What are you talking about Ma-" I slapped my hand over his mouth because two police officers just walked in and I didn't want the cops involved in this.

They walked up to the nurses desk and whispered to her about the situation and she looked towards us. Eric gave her a death stare and she told the police that we both left. With that they both walked out of the hospital.I looked at Eric puzzled. He walked up to the nurse with me trailing behind like a small puppy dog. He started to talk.

" Thank you for not giving us away. Did you find out what they wanted?" Eric said.

" Eric Henry Benyon, what have you gotten yourself into?" The nurse said with rage creeping into her whispered voice.

" Mom I don't know! Just calm down, do you have a place to talk away from everyone?" Eric asked. I was in shock at the news that just revealed itself to me  (They both had the same hair color so it made sense).

" Follow me." Eric's mom said motioning for us to follow. We trailed behind her as she lead us down a dark hallway. Apparently this hospital wing had mold in the walls and wasn't available to be used by the patients. We arrived at an empty nurses' lounge and walked in. There were couches and Eric's mom gestured for use to sit, in which we both did. Then she started to speak.

" Can someone tell me what the fuck is going on ?!?!" She yelled at us as we coward away from her earth shaking scream.

" Mrs.Benyon, please just don't scream like that again, please. I'll tell you everything but you can't get the police involved because this is bigger than them." She nodded in agreement and took a seat. 

" I have taken something that isn't mine and it's about my dad's work. He was involved in stopping this man. I didn't know anything about his work until I followed my dad to his secret study. I don't know why I followed him there. I didn't even know that this was in our house. I listened and I heard something that terrified me. It was about my mom and siblings." There was a sudden smashing sound outside the lounge. I put a finger to my lips and tip-toed to the door. I pulled out one of the guns I had. I opened the door quickly and pointed the gun.
