Shane- (hugging Al) Shhhh, it’s ok, she’s going to be ok. We’ll leave, let just talk to Tina, ok?

Shane moved to where Tina was sitting alone and sat beside her and took her hand in hers and spoke:

    Shane- Tina…Tina…Tina (finally Tina Lockheed at her) Hey we’re leaving for a little bit but we will be back later. Jenny brought you a bag with clean clothes so you can change… Alice is leaving too. Ok?

    Tina- Yeah… Shane can you check on Angie and stay with her and pay the sitter? I’ll give you the money later (it was obvious Tina hadn’t heard Carmen earlier) Please I just can’t leave right now…I have…

     Shane- hey, hey it’s ok, I’ll check on Angie don’t worry. You just worry about being here for Bette. Call me if you need anything, ok?

     Tina- ok Shane…thanks…

     Shane- Kit is staying too. I’ll see you girls later. Bye.

Shane, Alice, Jenny and Nikki left the waiting room leaving Kit and Tina alone in the hospital. After a few minutes Kit stood up, looked at Tina, and walked to the nurse’s station and spoke to one of the nurses:

     Kit- Um excuse me, is there a bathroom where my sister in law can go freshen up?

     Nurse- Of course. Tell you what instead of using the public bathroom why don’t you get her and bring her here and I’ll take her to our bathroom that is more private and she can take her time changing.

     Kit- thanks. I’ll talk to her and be back in a minute.

     Nurse- ok, no problem. Take your time.

Kit walked back to where Tina was sitting, sat next to her and after a couple of minutes took Tina’s hand in hers and spoke:

     Kit- Tina, sweetie I talked to the nurse over there and asked her if you could use their bathroom to change clothes and clean up a little and she said yes, so why don’t you get the bag and go change. It’s going to be a long night and I bet you want to freshen up a bit (Kit said this looking at Tina all covered in her sister’s blood).
