Struck By Lightning

Part 6- Is It Too Late?

     "Jenna," Jerry buckled his seat belt, "Start the car!"

    "Gotcha"

    The car started, then we set out on our long car ride back to the lab.

   Once they arrived he gave Jenna a sweet kiss "Is she all you hoped for?" She asked.

    "Yes, she may be even more useful than…" Before he could say anything else, she got out of the car and prepared to move Eileen to their lab.

     They lived in a deserted area in giant grey lab. It was almost too big for just Jerry and Jenna, and their daughter…

     He set Eileen down in an energy containment cell so if she freaked out when she woke up, she wouldn't anything to harm them.

     Then he waited. She was going to wake up any second now. Then he noticed something. Eileen had a crumpled piece of paper in her fist. He gently removed it. It was a letter from her grandfather. He knew they were very close and then realized he made the right decision not letting him see her. It might distract her. He took the letter and decided to hide it away, keeping it a secret.

***************
    Faye and Gerald finally were able to afford something great after years of saving up, but now their left over money is going to waste on a fake funeral. They were sad that their daughter was gone of course, but at least she was alive.

    They drove home and walked in on Elliot and Liam hugging and crying. The babysitter, Olivia, looked like she didn't know what to do. The boys noticed mom and dad were home and the rushed over to hug them.

    "Thanks for watching them Olivia." She nodded.

     "Is Eileen ok?" Elliot's eyes widened. It was hard for Faye to lie to him, but it was even harder to pretend cry, "She's… Not ok."

    Faye imagined her daughters unconscious body lying on the hospital with no hope. The tears started coming. They all were crying now and joined in a group hug, Olivia included. Faye needed to see her daughter wake up.

    She disbanded the hug and told Olivia she was free to go, and told Gerald to watch the boys.

    She stormed off and started her car. For hours she drove in the direction the address suggested. She was determined to get to her daughter.

    It took her all night to drive there. When she finally arrived, she hoped it wasn't too late.
