It was connecting. I couldn't wait to see him. But it wasn't him that picked up. It was General Carmine. Oh, Hi Mr. General. How are you? I said looking puzzled. I'm good sweetie but please call me General Carmine or Carmine. How are you dear. Fine. Um, can you tell me where my dad is? Oh he said with a frown on his face , your dad got shot today . Oh my gosh I said. Is he ok I said wiping tears away from my eyes. He heaved a sigh. I'm afraid not, the doctors said he lost a lot of blood and he probably will  be in the hospital for a few months. I wiped more tears away from my eyes. Oh no I said. I hate to tell you this but the doctors said he might die. What?! I said. They have to give him medicine, a shot, treatment anything!! I screamed. They've tried everything. And they still are. I'm sorry Skylar. Why?! What?! why? All we can do right now is pray.. Just pray. I know I said through sobs. He left his computer at the station and I was just going to call your mother right when you skyped him. Ok, thank you for letting me know. No problem I'll bring his computer to the hospital when I see him next time. Ok I said. Tell him I love him please and that I miss him. And that I am praying. And I know mom loves and misses him too. I will. Hang in there baby. Thank you. Bye Skylar. Goodbye General Carmine thanks again I said through sobs and sighs. I closed my laptop and went into the bathroom and locked the door. Why? I said crying Why I said. God I screamed. God help please!!
