here's a little more:
Jinny didn’t remember screaming. Everything just seemed to stop as she saw her world collapsing. Her brothers rushed in, John grabbed Jinny trying ot shut her up...then saw his mother. He pushed Jinny towards Casey who was still standing on the other side of the room wondering what had caused his older sister to freak out.
“Casey, just take Jinny to the living room and call 911. Don’t ask, just do it.” John ordered as he sat down next to his mother.
Casey took Jinny by the arm and pulled her from the room, still on sure of the situation. Once in the living room he sat Jinny on the couch but she didn’t respond. It was starting to scare him. What could possibly make Jinny act this way? And why was he calling 911? But Casey did as his brother told him and before long a group of emergency vehicles were parked outside. The police rushed in saw Casey and Jinny then followed John’s voice to the bedroom. Next the paramedics entered with a stretcher. Casey sat back and watched the activity. Jinny was still of in la la land and John joined them on the couch after the paramedics kicked him out.

“Dad!” John called when he saw his father enter the house.
“John, what’s going on?” his father asked. He had gotten a call on the police radio and upon hearing his address had rushed home.
“Dad, mom’s hurt.” John answered. He knew his mother was dead, but he didn’t want to be the one to tell his father.
“What? How?” his father frantically searched for answers.
“I don’t know. The paramedics are in there now.” As soon as he finished his sentence the bedroom door opened and the paramedics, along with a few officers, came from the room with a body bag on the stretcher.
John watched as his father shook his head in disbelief and ran to the stretcher. Not able to bare the heart breaking emotions of his father’s grief, John turned away. Only to see the realization of what had happen become clear in his younger brother’s eyes. John was unable to handle these new situations. What was he supposed to do? His mother was the strong one. She was the one that kept them sane. Every time there was a problem they could talk to her and she always knew what to do. John looked at his younger sister. Jinny hadn’t moved since Casey had taken her out of their parent’s bedroom and sat her down. Not able to deal with the stronger emotions, John headed for Jinny. He tried to be a response from her. He tried kindness, talked to her as if nothing had happen....then he slapped her. It was the only thing he could think to do. Before he knew it, Jinny was on top of him crying and fighting as hard as she could. Jinny had always been pretty strong. She had to be with two brothers, but John had still been able to beat her. Not today. With all the emotions running through her Jinny was able to fight her brother to the ground, and there he stayed until two officers were able to remove her. She was taken to the hospital and given a sedative, while John was checked out for damages. Casey stayed at the house and waited for his grandparents to show up. While his father, neither went to the hospital or stayed at the house. He was unable to go to the morgue after his wife and instead of dealing with his problems, he went to the bar.
