He said, "Hello, my name is Dr. Lansing, a M.D. at the Naval Base Hospital in Seatle, Washington. I understand that I am talking to one of an FBI agents son, correct?"
TumTum said, "Ya."
"May I talk to the eldest?" Dr. Lansing asked.
"Sure, hang on a sec. Kay?" TumTum said. Then he yelled, "Rocky...... phone!!!!"
"Got it!" he yelled back.
TumTum and Colt waited impaciently down by Rocky's bedroom door with cups- eaves dropping. Suddenly the door opened and the two fell right on to Rocky's shoe, "Well, well, what do we have here? A couple of eaves droppers, eh? Well, I have bad news for us all. Go in the living room. NOW!"
So, Colt and TumTum marched into the living room and sat down, ready for the news. Rocky began, "As you know, that was Dr. Lansing in Seatle. Well, dad's plane crashed. Right now, dad is in a coma like thing and they do not think he's gonna survive the night."
TumTum just started to cry. Colt didn't know what to do so he just 'lent a shoulder' to TumTum. TumTum then asked, "Bbut, how could he? Just think, if I said no to you guys, tthat could be me. I, I,"
"Don't think about it that way. Be thankful you're here. I mean, we could be minus a brother!" Colt said sadly.
That night was real long. TumTum kept on having nightmares about the crash. TumTum kept having the same dream over and over and over again. Crashing in a plane over and over again. It was so harsh. That night Colt ended up sleeping with him.
At breakfast, Colt asked, "If you don't mind what was your nightmare like?" TumTum began.
"Well, first we boarded the plane. I was in seat F12. Dad was in the seat next to me. The plane went up, and it seemed like forever. After an hour or so of regular plane motion, there was a sudden drop. I didn't know what to do. It kept on dropping. Drop after drop. I think I even heard Shnyder right next to dad. He was saying something like, 'I tried taking your kids, but you didn't let me. Now I have revenge!' And then he laughed that evil laugh of his. Then, the next thing I remember was seeing a bright light like dead people supposedly see. But at the hospital, I recovered, but dad didn't. In my dream, the doctor told me that my dad died at 2:38 in the morning," then TumTum started to cry again. He got up and went to his room.
Just then the phone rang. Colt answered it. It was Dr. Lansing.
He said, "Hello, this is Dr. Lansing. Your father died this morning at 2:38. His last words told us what had happened. He said, 'The plane went up for what seemed like forever. There was a sudden drop. It kept on dropping. He heard people screaming and a guy named Shnyder saying, 'I tried to kidnap your kids, but you didn't let me. Now I have revenge!' ' And at the hospital, he said, 'Tell my kids that TumTum made the right choice. He could be in my place if he came.'"
"So you're telling me my father died?" Colt said.
"Yes, I am terribly sorry, I have to go. Oh, and by the way, Shnyder died also," said the doctor.
Colt hung up and said, "Rocky, you know the dream Tum had? The things he said were exactly what happened."
"No way. There is no possible way," Rocky said astonishingly.
"Ya, way. Do you think Tum's body, you know, spirit , can out of his body and went on the plane with dad? And weird of all, Shnyder was on the plane. Isn't he supposed to be in jail?"
"Yes, but who knows, what did the doctor say about Shnyder?"
"That he died too."
The boys went in Tum's room and told him. They all fell asleep, crying. Tum Tum on Colt, Colt on Rocky.
