Vane: Sir, the cars exploded anonymously and the kids managed to escape.
Ryan: Explosion! This is getting exciting!
Ryan glanced at Jeremy thoughtfully.

At The Baylon Hospital. Day 19
Michael opened his eyes to see Stewart next to him.
Stewart: He's awake (yelling excitedly)
Elvin and Melinda rushed to their father's side.
Elvin: Are you okay?
Michael: What happened? (Touching his head)
Melinda: You got attacked.
Michael: where is your mom?
Elvin: We'll go tell her you are awake.
Melinda and Elvin left together.
Michael: What did I do? What did I get myself into?( murmuring to himself)
Stewart heard him and nodded.
Stewart: I am wondering the same thing. I think you saw how dangerous Ryan is to you and your whole family.
Michael: But I did it for Jordan.
Stewart: But then your whole family is involved.
Michael: He won't break his promise. I know he will protect them.
Stewart: Who exactly is the "he"?
Michael: Brian Clarke.
Stewart: That brick really did a thing.
Michael: Let's just go see Emily.
Stewart: Alright!
He left with Stewart and entered Emily's room. She was looking worse and she had tubes inserted in her. Michael sat beside her and wept. He stroked Emily's hair. Emily managed to open her eyes.
Emily: Michael (quietly in a whisper)
Michael: I'm sorry; I didn't know this would happen
Emily: It's okay. I'll keep fighting.
Michael: Please be okay, my love.
Emily nodded.
Emily blinked slowly and closed her eyes. The machines started beeping.
Michael: Em...Emily? Are you okay?
Stewart ran out and called for the doctor.
Michael: please talk to me, Emily. Please
The doctor rushed in and checked her blood pressure.
Doctor: Her blood pressure is increasing. I'll give her a hydralazine injection to lower it so you may as well excuse me.
Michael: Doctor? Will she be fine?
Doctor: I can't guarantee anything right now so please excuse us.
Michael and Stewart went outside and sat on a bench
Michael: They took all the files accusing Ryan (staring at the floor)
Stewart: So what do you plan to do now? Do you plan to give up?
