Part Two
“Alright, thanks Mag.” Cap told her.
“Yeah, do you have any advice on how to help her?”
“Just listen to her, that’s all you can do. Don’t give her advice, this is one thing she’ll need to figure out for herself.”
“Okay.” Magda stood up and left Kate’s office.
“What did she want to talk to you about?” Jinny looked at her.
“Nothing.” Mag told her, not trying to touch the subject.
“Whatever.” Jinny gets up and knocks on Kate’s door. “Captain, can I talk to you?”
“Sure.” She replies to Jinny. She is glad she came in; she was really hoping that she would ask for the rest of the night off. Working wasn’t where she should be right now. “What do you want?”
“Can I have the rest of the night off? I have some personal stuff to take care of.”
“Well, I guess.”
“Thanks Captain.” Jinny gets up and starts for her door.
“Jin, Magda told me about your dad. I’m sorry to hear about it.”
“Yeah, so am I.” Jinny leaves her office, and grabs her coat.
“Jin where you going?”
“I’m leaving for the rest of the night.”
“You deserve it.” Mag said as Jinny walked out the door.
Jinny heads to the hospital, she really wanted to see her dad. When she walks in the door she sees Casey crying and John just sitting there. Jin goes over to Casey and rubs his back; she didn’t know what she could say to comfort him.
“How’s dad?” She looked at John.
“I don’t know.”
“Can he have visitors?”
“Not right now.”
Jinny sighed; she didn’t know what to do or what to think. She sat there, rubbing Casey’s back. She tried to comfort him but she knew she couldn’t. He had always looked to her. He had always gone to her for advice. Now if he wanted any she didn’t have any to give.
About two hours later, at 1 AM, Jinny was very tired and about to fall asleep. Casey was still crying, only now it was worse. There was still no news on their dad, and no one knew what to do.
“Guys I’ve got to hit the sack, I really need to work tomorrow. So would you call me if dad makes any progress or anything?”
“Sure” John told her.
Jinny went home, and tried to sleep but she couldn’t. She was too busy thinking about her father. ‘What if he doesn’t make it’ Jin thought to herself.
After about two hours of tossing and turning she finally got to sleep. At 6 AM her alarm rang. She got three hours of sleep, looked like a mess, and was so stressed out. She was worried about her dad but knew she had to work. She looked at her answering machine and there were no messages. John and Casey hadn’t called. ‘There must be no news on Dad, yet.’ She thought.
When Jinny got to the station her hair wasn’t done and she looked like a mess. Angela and CD didn’t know about Jin’s dad so they automatically thought it was a hang over.
“Jinny, what’s wrong?” Angela asked her.
“No one’s business but mine.”
“Why?” Angela said to her again.
“Because no one needs to know about my personal problems but me.” Jinny said, trying to hide that she was incredibly worried.
Sue z q, my uncle, who I was very close to, had a stroke. I'm sorry about your dad. How is he doing now?
U like?? You guys I'm warning you, this may not be an easy one to finish, because of my Uncle this is kind of going to be like his story. This is what happened to me only I went to church and my doctors appointments. I was home schooled. I am writing this the way it happened to him. This is not easy for me because it requires thinking back to the time when my uncle had his stroke. He unfortunatly died from his stroke, and I won't have that happen to Jin's dad. But her feelings are like my feelings when it happened to me.
