The hospital was small, it was a children's cancer hospital. They didn't have the money to make it big. It was made from bricks and insulated well to keep the children warm in the winter. The ambulance came blaring into the emergency room parking lot, breaking the silence and lighting the dark, men quickly took a little girl inside, the same little girl who'd been wearing a laughing face in the house hours earlier. Minutes later a man pulled into the normal parking lot and sat there, staring at nothing, lost in thought. Jeff knew what he was thinking about, as he stood looking down at him from the top window of the hospital. A tear caught in his eye. He watched as the man finally got out of his car and started toward the hospital.
"It's time." He told the tall man next to him, "You know what to do?"
"Yes." The man replied in a deep voice, nothing like Jeff's little one.
"And you're ready?" Jeff whispered, "You're ready to face him and not say a word?"
"I can do this." The man with the graying hair answered.
"Deliver your message, look him in the eye, and go home. Straight home to your family." Jeff told him.
The man strode away and Jeff turned back to the man from the car, the man with the mask, "It's starting, Bobb. Are you ready?" he whispered, fading into the shadows, his startlingly blue eyes disappearing last as he slowly blinked.
