“Wow that was a shock! I certainly wasn’t expecting that to happen.”

“Twists and turns, Hon–twists and turns. Keeping the reader interested is the name of the game.”

“What’s going on?”

“What do you mean, what’s going on? She’s dead. He killed her. Could I have been any plainer than that?” I shut down the laptop and put it to one side. “Come on kiddo, it’s time we hit the road.”

Rosie sighed. “Funny how this seems to be the highlight of our day, Bubbie. Who would have thought it would have come to this?” she said with a slight catch in her voice.

I put my arm around her and gave her gentle a hug, ever mindful of the constant pain that coursed through her body.

“I know babe, but there’s nothing we can do but fight it every step of the way. We’ll get it beat.” I kissed the top of her head, and said, “Come on, let’s go and see our friend, Mr. Takamura, and find out what the girls have been up to.”

As I pulled into the hospital parking garage and cut the engine, I looked at my sister sitting quietly beside me and noticed her face was paler than usual, her hands trembling. I wanted to take her in my arms and tell her not to worry. Tell her everything would be all right; but I daren’t give voice to the fear that haunted us all.

I gently placed my hand on hers and forced a smile on my lips. “You all right, Hon?”

She nodded and did her best to smile. “I’ve just got to get myself psyched up for the next round.”

“Take your time–there’s no hurry,” I said as I unscrewed the cap on a bottle of water and passed it to her. “Whenever you’re ready?”

Rosie took a couple of sips and handed the bottle back, took a deep breath–and let it out slowly. “Okay. Let’s do it,” she said as she opened the door and stepped onto the concrete.
