ELEVEN

Colt sat in the chair and watched as the doctor finished sewing the gash on Jack’s hand. Visions of the accident flooded Colt’s thoughts. He recalled running to the truck, only to find it empty. Roger had been thrown free and somehow the crumpled truck had landed on top of him. When they’d finally lifted the twisted heap from his bloody, unconscious body, he was clinging to life … Colt shook the horrifying image from his mind.

The doctor placed a bandage on Jack’s hand. He was opening his mouth to speak when another doctor entered the room.

Colt and Jack both jumped to their feet, anxious to hear of Roger’s condition.

The doctor shook his head regretfully. “I’m sorry. We did all we could to save him. There was just too much internal trauma.”

In a daze, Jack eased himself back onto the bed. Body trembling, he shook his head and slumped forward, burying his face in his hands as he broke down sobbing. With each sob came a forceful groan… His hat fell to the floor…

Colt clenched his jaw and pursed his lips, trying to suppress his tears as a wave of sorrow flooded through him. He sat next to Jack on the bed and pulled him to his chest, consoling him wholeheartedly, as if he were comforting his own brother.

The doctor who had just stitched Jack’s hand picked up the hat and set it on the chair. Then both doctors exited quietly.
