"Survivors"

Chapter 5



Three a.m. Three freakin' a.m.

Tossing back the covers, he gave up any further pretense of trying to sleep. Locking the door quietly behind him, he looked over the balcony at the sleeping town that lay at his feet. He had to fix this, he had to make her see...


See what? That he was back in her life after virtually ignoring her for the past two years? That he was willing to break up her marriage to save her life? Sure. *That* would go over like a ton of bricks. But in essence, that was exactly what he was willing to do. Weighing the choices in his mind, he rationalized that there *was* no choice.


There was no way on God's green earth that he would let her die. Maybe Jimmy would, but he was a better man than that. Hell, Jimmy wasn't a *man* at all. No real man would ever put the woman he loved through this torture.


Loved.


Jesus. There it was, right in front of him. Damn, he'd been so blind for so long.


He knew what he had to do, but *how*... that was another story. Pocketing his room key, he set off once again for Denny's. Hope they had a fresh pot of coffee, he was going to need all the caffeine he could get.
