Running Nightmares…..Chapter Three

Minutes later Shannon comes storming into the lobby of the hospital and up to the front desk.

“Are you here for a girl by the name of Emily?” says a police officer comes walking to Shannon.

“Yes! Please, tell me she’s ok!” Shannon says breathless.

“Please fallow me” the officer says now walking over to the waiting room.

Shannon fallows, his heart in his stomach.

The officer then walk in and informs the other officers and Anthony and Alice that Shannon is indeed Emily’s boyfriend and he’s outside.

“Let him in” The head officer says now nodding towards Shannon.

Shannon then comes in and at once starts to ask questions.

“Your girlfriend is fine, nothing bad happened. She had a scare and it sent her heart rate and blood pressure up. But she’s fine” the head office says now holding up his hand to quit Shannon.

“You can see her now” a nurse says now popping her head in the door.

“What room?” Shannon asks now looking at the officers.

“We’ll go see her in a minute, but first I need to ask…”

“No, I will see her now” Shannon says cutting off the officer and then walking out.

“Sir, I can hold you here till I get answers, here or the station!” the head officer roars after him.

“Caption” Anthony then says stepping behind the head officer.

“Let the boy see her first, give him comfort knowing she’s ok, then ask him your questions, being a good cop and a good man 101, or so I thought I taught you!” he then says now glaring at him.

“Sorry sir” the head officer says now holding hid head down.

“I’m not the head anymore, you are. Now start acting like it” Anthony says now walking off to fallow Shannon, Alice then joins behind him.

“He should know, after all he’s your son” she says as they now enter Emily’s room.
