Don't Go Before I Do

Richard

I woke up to find a cop sitting next to me. "Did you see the people who did this?"

"No."

"Your lucky."

"Heiko, I am sorry I just wondered there was another in the house with me. His name was Paul. What happened to him."

"He died."

"How?"

"Looked like health problems."

"He had cancer."

The guy left and I cried. I felt so alone. I do remember opening my eyes and seeing Heiko. He had to be the one that saved me. A nurse came in and a doctor released me.
I was out for two weeks. I went to thank Paul's doctor.

"Hi, Richard why do you look so sad."

"Paul, died from the cancer as you know. I wanted to thank you for treating him."

I saw he looked confused look. He gave me a one minute gesture. He got some papers and read them.

"This might be a dumb question but, was you with him when he died?"

"No, we had a home Invasion and I was shot and just woke up. This was the day of his last treatment. Why?"

"He didn't tell you? He is Cancer free. So, that isn't how he died."

I was sad and happy at the same time. He didn't suffer. So, whoever must have killed him. But, who found us? I thanked the doctor and went to the police station and told them about the cop. They had no cop like that on their force.

I got scared when I was told that he was a person who was a terrorist. Heiko must have seen them. Nice great now he is gone.
I went home and laid down and cried. I called Till and he came over. I told him everything. He stayed with me.
