"Brian?!" Sal said. Brian squinted his eyes open, the light blinding him. He tried to sit up, but grunted in pain. The three men ran to their friend, hugging him with all their might. They began to cry in happy tears.

      "Easy there, I'm still trying to recover." Brian chuckled. As Joe and Murr ran around the hospital to find doctors, Sal and Brian hugged more. Sal pulled away, looking at Brian, smiling with tears rolling down his cheeks. Brian smiled back, wiping away his tears with his thumb. He pulled Sal into a soft and slow kiss.

      "He's here doctors." Joe said while opening the door. The doctor entered the door, smiling at them as he walked in.

       "Ah, Mr. Quinn. You already awake, how do you feel?" The doctor said while looking at his clipboard.

      "Mmm, I'm okay. But when I try to sit up, it kind of hurts." Brian said.

       "That is because you had gotten shot in stomach, but you will recover fast. You will have to stay for a week, but family will come and visit most of the time." The doctor said. He smiled and left.

      "Well, a week's not that bad." Sal said.

       "Meh, I guess. What happened to Diego?" Brian said.

     "Well, Murr called cops. They came and took Diego back to jail. Before he left he said that he has backup." Joe said. Brian nodded his head and mumbled a little 'wow'.

      Brian's phone began to ring. He picked up and looked at the caller ID. It was picture of him and Brianna, his niece.

      "Who is it?" Sal said.

      "It's Brianna. I don't know why she's calling." Brian said. He answered and put it on speaker.

     "Hello, sweetheart?" Brian said.

      "Uncle Brian. Help." Brianna said. She was panting and she sounded like if she crying.

       "What's wrong?" Brian said worried.

        "There's a man inside the house with a gun."
