Cont. of Part 8
Travis sat in his office once again. His plan was working out perfectly. Peter was now in the hospital, and he was in serious condition. He knew that if his men did their job right, Peter would not recover, but would die. But in case he did survive he had phase three ready. He now proceeded with his game. He sent another e-mail to Kermit. Travis knew that the best way to get his revenge was to lure Peter's friends and family into a false sense of hope. By doing this, he was less likely to get caught, and he
would still get his revenge.

Caine and Annie slowly entered Peter's room. Annie could hear all the different machines beeping. She also heard the respirator breathing for Peter. "Oh, Peter. Why do things always happen to you? Why can't people just leave you alone? Please, baby stay with us. I need you and your father needs you. Who are your sisters going to tease all the time? Please fight this."
Caine could only sit there and hold Annie as she talked to Peter. Just then a nurse came in and told them that they must leave. " I'll be back tomorrow and will check on you Peter." Annie gave on last squeeze and left with Caine.
They headed back into the waiting room to give a full report on Peter's condition.

Kermit had returned to his office after hearing the news on Peter. He filled everyone in at the precinct. He pulled up the file that he had requested on Travis. He was surprised to find that Peter had sent him to prison 5 years earlier. He was also surprised to see that he was out of prison and free. From this report, Travis had been free for almost a year now. Just as he was getting ready to tell the Captain what he found, his computer beeped again.
He turned back to it and saw that it was e-mail. It read:
" I see that you got the prize. I hope that it wasn't too badly damaged. Now that you have the prize, it is my job to get it back or to destroy it. This is the next part of the game. I hope you are willing to play. I don't want this to be too easy, but I will play with or without you. Can you keep the prize?"
Part 9
Kermit walked into the Captain's office. She looked up and saw his face and that his body was tense. She knew something was wrong.
"Close the door. Tell me what's wrong?"
"I just got an e-mail from Travis. He said that the game is not over yet. I think that someone should stay and guard Peter's room. I think that this Travis may go after him again. I would like the first watch."
"Very well. Go right now. Make sure he stays safe. I don't want to lose one of my best detectives. Call me and let me know if anything happens and how Peter is doing."
"Oh yeah!"
***************
Caine sat in Peter's room. There still had been no change in Peter. He still hadn't stabilized enough for them to stop the bleeding. He still wasn't breathing on his own. Caine had tried to help by giving his chi to help his son's battered body heal. But he had grown weak, and knew that if he continued without rest he would die. The doctors said that if Peter didn't stabilize soon, that he would bleed to death. Just then the door opened and in walked Lo Si with Annie on his arm.
"Hello Caine. Has there been any change in Peter?"
"No. I have tried to help him, but have grown too weak to continue. Master is there anything else that I can do?"
"You can not do it alone. You will need help from his family and closest friends."
" Annie will you help me?"
"Anything to save our son. But who else can we get to help. I know that just you and I
cannot do this alone." Just then Kermit walked in.
"What about me. I heard everything and I would like to help him. Besides if Paul found out that I let the kid die, I wouldn't be safe anywhere." "Please then, join hands. Concentrate on Peter and then send your love to him. I will help to channel the chi to where it needs to go," said the Ancient.
Caine felt everyone do just what they where told. As he watched Peter, he could see that they were helping him. His body was using this energy to heal itself. Just then the flow stopped. He turned to see that the Ancient had cut the flow and broke everyone out of the trance.
"Master why did we stop?"
"Because now it is up to Peter to heal himself. Now all we can do is wait. Here drink this. It will help you with your strength."
