Clint wasn't sure how he was to even make that phone call. He knew that Bobby Kennedy had to have known by then what had happened...but he still didn't know what to say to him when he answered the phone.
"Yeah?" Bobby said tiredly.
"Mr. Kennedy. This is Clint Hill. I'm Mrs. Kennedy's..."
"I know who you are Clint. Is my brother ok?"
Clint took a deep breath. "Uh...he's alive."
"Why'd you pause?"
"He's basically slipped into a coma. The doctor explained to Mrs. Kennedy that the bullet narrowly missed his spine and that the second one had down enough damage to cause brain swelling but it didn't look like there was damage."
Bobby let out a shaky breath. "So right now it's the coma he's fighting?"
"Yes sir."
"How's Jackie?"
"Holding on as best she can. They're looking into transferring the President to a hospital in DC."
"Good. Please keep me posted. If they don't transfer him tonight I want to come out there. Jackie doesn't need to be alone."
"Yes sir. I'll let you know as soon as she knows."
"Thank you. And Clint?"
"Yes sir?"
"Thank you for being with them. For protecting them."
