Chapter 5: Life and Death
Everyone in the hospital heard Walker’s yell and much to his surprise, there were already several doctors and nurses coming to the room. When Alex’s heart monitor had gotten that low, the alarm had gone off and the nurses had gotten several doctors to head to her room. They were almost there when Walker had yelled out the door.
The nurses and two doctors hurried into Alex’s room and Walker was shoved into a corner. He could barely see what was going on. All he knew was that Alex’s heart had stopped and that she could die; die before she ever knew how sorry Walker was for everything that had happened yesterday.
The doctors worked on her for several minutes before he heard it, the beep of the heart monitor as Alex’s heart started beating again; it was one of the greatest sounds Walker had ever heard in his life.
After the doctors were sure that Alex was okay, they left the room followed by the nurses. Walker found himself alone in the room with Alex again. He walked over to her bed and taking her left hand in his right hand joked, “Okay, Alex, you win, I’m not going anywhere for a little while longer.” He tried to make himself feel better before he continued, “But later honey, I’m really going to need to leave. I think the nurses are beginning to wonder if I ever shower. And I really need to find the guy who hit you Alex.”
Walker sat there for several minutes before he realized that he hadn’t called Trivette. He was sure that Trivette would be trying to find the man who had hit Alex too and maybe they had a lead or had caught him. But part of Walker hoped they didn’t catch him yet as he wanted to bring in the man who hit Alex, just like he had brought in everyone else who had every harmed Alex.
“Alex honey, I’m gonna go call Trivette real quick, I promise that I’ll be right back,” Walker told her as he got up and walked out to the nurse’s station to see if he could use the phone.
The nurse at the nurse’s station agreed to let him use the phone. Walker picked it up and quickly called Trivette.
“Trivette,” Trivette said when he picked up the phone.
“Trivette, it’s Walker.”
“Hey, Walker. How’s Alex doing?” Trivette asked him; he hadn’t heard anything about Alex since he left the hospital the day before.
Walker didn’t say anything for a moment. It had been a while since he last thought of how he almost lost Alex. “She’s okay, now. Her heart stopped beating about an hour ago but the doctor says she’ll be just fine. But that’s not why I called. Did you find out anything on the guy who hit Alex?”
This time it was Trivette who didn’t know what to say; but he soon found his voice and told Walker the truth. “The guy who hit Alex died Walker. Shortly after he hit her, he ran a stop sign and crashed into a truck. He died instantly and the other driver is in the hospital but should be okay.”
Walker’s mind was running a thousand miles an hour. Did Trivette really just say the man who had hit Alex and put her in the hospital in a coma was dead? Was there really no one that Walker had to go out and track down this time to make them pay? And what was Walker going to do now? The guy was died and Alex was still in the hospital. So he did the only thing he could do and the only thing that was right. “Trivette, I’m gonna take some time off. I need to be here with Alex for a while. And since the guy is dead, there really isn’t any reason for me to leave her side right now. I get it; Alex needs me here. So if I can’t go out and catch the guy who did this to her, I’m gonna be here.”
“Okay partner, I’ll let everyone know.” Trivette told him and hung up the phone.
Walker thanked the nurse and headed back to Alex’s room. He sat down in the chair next to her bed, picked up her hand again, and thought for a moment.
The guy who had hit Alex was died, now there was only one guys paying for what he had done to Alex and that was him. Walker was still sitting in the hospital paying for the fight he and Alex had had the night before. He was still going through hell not knowing if she was gonna live or die. And he was still suffering with the fact that they might never become man and wife.
