Jack sat in the waiting room, waiting to see a doctor. He looked at the emergency room light. It has been on for 1 hour. He hoped Maya and Jake were okay. Suddenly, a doctor burst out of the room, and called "Who are these patient's family?" Jack immediately stood up and said "Me. Maya and my family are not in town, although they are swiftly approaching.". "That is good." The doctor replied. "For the time being, you may see Maya. But for Jake...". Dread creeped into Jack's body. "What happened? He's fine, right?". "I would like to escort you to where he is. Please.". Every step he took, it pained him. Already fearing the worst, he walked.... right into the postmortem room. Jake was on a stretcher, cold, lifeless. The Doctor started speaking. "An autopsy was performed, and we believe we found out what killed him. Although he suffered a major road burn, he actually died by his neck snapping. When he fell off the car, he hit the ground head first, at an awkward angle, and, he came here.". The Doctor pat Jack's back while he sat mear his dead son. After a few moments, Jack arose, with red eyes, and asked, "Where's Maya?". "Ah, yes, your wife. She is alive, but it is hard to tell she will make it. You should probably go to her.". Jack walked towards the doors, and every step he took seemed harder and hardr to walk. Jake... All of his memories flooded back. Jake tapping the piano keys, standing, he had so much more time left in his life. And Maya... What happened to her? He had to keep Maya, at least. He could not lose another person in his life. He entered the emergency room, and he saw Maya lying there, with one of those oxygen masks, and he called out to her. "Maya?". He sat next to her, and although her eyes were open, she wasn't moving them. "My eyes, Jack. I can't see you.". "I am right here Maya." Jack replied, with tears forming in his eyes. "Jake... Is Jake okay?" Jack was opening his mouth to speak of what happened when she spoke again. "I can't see you, Jack." And a beeping sound turned into a seemingly never ending whine from a machine. Jack turned to shut the stupid machine off, when he noticed what it was. A heart beat monitor. There was a number on the screen. 0.

Doctors and nurses were working desperately to try to bring her back, but to no avail. After they said it was fruitless, Jack lost it. He started crying like a baby might when that baby lost something it wanted. He hugged Maya's lifeless form, until he noticed a red dot on some bandages close to the middle of her chest. He got up, and demanded, "What happened to them?" Still shaking from what happened. The doctor replied by saying that it was a robbery where they got killed. He said that for the full details, he has to ask the police. Jack ran towards the police station. He hoped they caught the people who did this.
