CAL’S REVENGE
Chapter Six
Rose and Jack rushed into the
hospital. A doctor was already waiting to meet them. "Good news. The
bullet missed her heart by a half inch."
"Does that mean she will be
okay?" Rose asked hopefully.
"I can't promise, but she has
a better chance than we first thought."
"I want to see her,"
Rose said.
"Okay, but only for few
minutes," the doctor replied.

A few minutes later, Rose and
Jack walked into Ruth's room. "Hello, Mother," Rose said, walking up
to Ruth's bed.
Ruth opened her eyes. "What
happened?" Ruth asked weakly.
"You’ve been shot,"
Jack replied.
Ruth turned to Rose. "Is
that true?"
"Yes." Rose nodded.
"I will be back," Jack
said.
Rose turned to Jack. "Where
are you going?"
"To find Cal."
"Why?"
"Rose, he has to pay for
what he has done to you and your mother."
"Be careful," Rose
replied.
"I will," Jack replied,
leaving.
Rose hoped that Jack would be all
right.
