My cell phone was ringing. My eyes cracked open and I tried to gather my thoughts. My body and mind were beyond the point of exhaustion. I grabbed the phone and did my best to focus my eyes on the Caller I.D. It was a local number, but I didn’t recognize it. And as I answered the call, I saw Daphne peeking in the window at me.

“Hello,” I said. My voice sounded groggy as hell.

“Is this Josiah Reign?” A woman asked on the other end.

“Yes.”

“Are you a relative of Tommy Jensen?”

“No, I mean yes. We’re practically brothers.” Okay, now I was worried.

“Tommy has been in an accident.”

I sat up. “What kind of accident?”

“We’re not exactly sure. We pulled his file and you were the only contacted listed. He’s in the ICU.”

“Which hospital is this?”

“San Bernardino Memorial.”

“Okay. I’ll be there in ten minutes.”

I jumped up and put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and headed out the door. Daphne was on the hood of my truck almost as if she were waiting for me. I got in my truck and honked my horn so she fly off. She did, squawking at me, and I pulled out of the parking lot and headed to the hospital.

Twenty minutes later, I was pulling up to the emergency entrance. Surprisingly, there were a lot of empty parking spots. Even at 5:00 a.m., I would have thought most of Southern California ER’s would have been busy. Learn something new every day. I went through the double doors and headed straight to the nurse’s desk.

“Hi, I’m here to see Tommy Jensen,” I said to the dark-haired, heavy-set Latina woman behind the desk.

“He is in the ICU. Why don’t you have a seat and someone will be out shortly to speak with you.”

“But I got a call from you guys. Can I go back and—”

“Have a seat and someone will be out to speak with you.”

“All right.” I sat down in a seat near the back. There were sure a lot of people in the waiting room, considering how few cars there were in the parking lot.

A police officer came in from outside. He walked over to the nurse and the nurse pointed him in my direction. I guess the “someone” who was to speak with me was going to be a police officer. He came right over to me. “Are you Josiah Reign?”

“Yes, sir, I am.”

“I need to ask you a couple of questions.”

“Sure,” I said.

“What relation are you to Tommy Jensen?”

“There is no relation. He’s my roommate. He’s the closest person in the world to me, but there is no relation.”

“Were you with Tommy tonight?”

“Well, sort of.”

“What does that mean?”

“Tommy had a fight tonight at the Honda Center in Anaheim.”

“A fight? You mean a professional fight? A boxing match?”

“Close. It was a mixed martial arts fight.”

“You mean like ultimate fighting?”

“Yeah, something like that,” I said.

“You were at the fight?”

This guy wasn’t going to believe what I was about to tell him, but it was the truth so I had nothing to lose.
