Capítulo 29: Chapter 29

It was in the mid-September when Francisco had brought Emily's friends to buy ice-cream.That was a Friday I won't forget.He was friends with all of their fathers'. Best friends actually. I was playing with them when I overheard Francisco and his friends (gang) talking and laughing about who would take over the gang in the next 10 years. There was this little boy by the name of ...I can't remember his name. It's been 15 years now. Maybe he's the one, but it can't be. Their friendship broke when he died.Maybe they had already....I just don't know. My poor Emily is in the hospital now; everyone 's freaking out. I looked across me and...Is that the President's daughter. Amy Boswell?. She's friends with Emily?. Wow. I observed the environment in the hospital. It was filled with people who were here for Emily. I didn't see any nurses or doctors. It's been hours now. I got up walking up to the reception area. "Um excuse me", I said looking at the woman behind the desk. She looked up at me with an angry face. Wow. What a way to create a first impression of the hospital. "Yes?", she asked blinking about a thousand times with that disgusting gum in her mouth. ""My daughter was admitted here a couple of hours ago (Looking on my watch). And until now, we've gotten no response", I said. "What's her name ?", she asked. "Emily...Farqueson", I replied. She looked at me as if I didn't know my daughter's name. It took her one minute to go through the system and find Emily's name. She looked up at me. "She was shot?", she asked. "Yes", I replied."Um, I'll get back to you", she said picking up the phone and punching in a number. She spun around the chair blocking me out and answering the phone. Ok. She looked around at me putting down the phone. "Dr. Thomas will be with you in a minute", she said. "Thank you", I said walking off. As soon as I was about to take a seat. ....."Who's here for Emily Farqueson?", the doctor swallowed hard before speaking. "I'm sorry but.......Before he could finish speaking a young man busted in running up to us."What.....happened?", he asked. Who is he?."And you are?", I asked. He looked at me with total respect in his eyes, but hurt."I'm a friend of Emily", he said. "oh,"I said. I turned back to the doctor smiling. "What were you saying?", I asked. "I was saying that your daughter's heart is failing her. She got the gun shot very..." "What can we do?", I asked. "we have less than 24 hours to do a transplant, it's the only way we can save her. But, we would have to do the surgery in less than 12 hours so she can recover quickly",the doctor said. I looked at everyone. I turned to Mrs. Farqueson who started to cry. "We don't......." I'll take take care of this, don't worry about it", I said pulling the doctor a long the corridor with me. "How much money will the transplant cost", I asked him. He looked at me frightened. "Half a million", he said smiling. "Then do it ", I stated.
