I was standing next to Richard when he was yelling to Paul. I could hear him playing Pet Sematary. When I called Flake's phone it sounded like it was in the room with Paul.
"Paul, I know something is wrong. Let me in."
He opened the door for me. I had no idea what had happened. But, he was sad. He looked at me. I called Flake's phone and I heard it. Then saw it on the floor. I happened to look up and see Paul and seen him wearing broken glasses. That wasn't his. He looked at me. I knew he couldn't see me.
"I failed them."
He about fell over. I caught him. I happened to glance over and noticed something that made me upset. I called for help.
"Paul, stay please."
Richard had walked in and saw what he did. He drank a whole bottle of alcohol, took a whole bottle of pain medication, then cut himself but why. He started convalsing. Paulos respond and he had tried calling Paul. He walked in and he was like not on my watch.
We were sitting in the waiting room when Paulos walked over to us. "Till, Richard, before this did he say anything?"
"I failed them."
"He was wearing Flake's glasses, had his phone, and played Pet Sematary by the Ramones."
He told us to follow him. We did and he had me sit. I saw what he meant. "What happened?"
"Paul, got the message. He was kidnapped and accused of killing her brothers. He tried to save him. He lost him once. He didn't give up on Flake. He knocked the lady out and handcuffed her to a pipe. He accidentally stepped on the glasses. He thinks he failed Schneider and Flake."
"I should not have got into a fight with Flake. He must have seen that too."
"He did."
Richard had just stepped back into the room. I didn't notice that he had stepped out. I looked at him and he looked sad.
"He might not make it. He has given up on the desire to live."
"No."
"Please no."
I knew only three remained standing. I wanted to cry. "Flake, please we need you. You may be the only one who can help save Paul."
