Chapter 11

I sighed as the doctor left the room. Something wasn't right, it's the way he said things. I leaned back on the bed, my head pounding with a headache, it hurt too much to concentrate on anything he said. I focused on the small bit of light that passed through the crack in the curtains. It was strange how I couldn't remember what happened after the attack, I wonder how my team is. Where they okay?

The door opened and I turned to see if the Doctor returned but it wasn't, it was my mother and Lennox, I had only worked with him once and talked with him on occasion but we were friends. I wondered how his wife was doing.

"Mom" I said hoarsely. My mother had tears in her eyes; I hated it when she cried. It always made me feel like I did something wrong. I turned towards Lennox and offered him a nod. And he nodded back.

"Oh my baby boy, how are you feeling?" she said as she was immediately at my side gripping my hand gently in hers. I smiled; not at all embarrassed in front of Lennox, to my mother I would always be her baby boy. It made me smile. She had been calling me it forever.

"I'm fine mom" I said. "Where is dad and Sammy?"

"Ron is calling Sam" she seemed to hesitate for a moment as if she didn't know what to say. I wondered what it was that she had trouble with. "He's out with a friend." I grinned, friend eh? What kind of friend?

"Oh okay" I said gripping my mother's hand. I turned to Lennox determined to get answers, that Doctor Williams was very forthcoming. He just asked his questions and left.

"What happened? How did I get here? And how is my team?" I shot off. I didn't like the silence that followed. They fidgeted and avoided looking at me. What happened!

"What happened" I said. Lennox sighed and caught my gaze; I didn't like the pity in them. And I don't think I'm about to like what I'm about to hear.

"You went MIA, Jericho." he started. I went MIA. I stared at my lap.

"How long" I whispered. I needed to know.

"A year"

"And my team" silence followed after that. I looked up at him and he was staring at the far wall. My eyes narrowed at him. "And my team?" I said through gritted teeth.

"There is no sign of them, they have been presumed dead" I looked away. I had amnesia. But I doubted that, whatever happened, I think my mind his blocking it out. So yha, I guess I have amnesia. I turned away from them, and turned towards the window. They were dead, there was no such thing as presumed dead, they were dead, presumed gave the possibility that they were alive, but something told me they weren't and guilt raged at me. I was the one responsible for them, and I failed them. It's what I believed.

"Jericho, sweet heart" my mother said. I looked at her and I could feel my eyes burn.

"Could you leave for a bit please" I whispered, I needed to be by myself for a moment. She looked like she was about to protest. "Please" Lennox understood and laid a hand on her shoulder; she nodded and followed Lennox out of the room. When the door closed the tears fell.

"You missed our date!" cried Mikaela. Sam stood before her running a hand through his hair, behind him Bumblebee watched the site. Humans where such crazy creatures.

"I know okay! But they just found my brother!" he said.

"You have a brother! How come you never told me" she said, her angered replaced by confusion.

"Because I thought he was dead, okay" Sam said. "He's in the military; about a year ago he disappeared along with his team."

"Oh" said Mikaela, she felt kind of bad for yelling at him. Silence resumed between the couple. Before Sam's phone went off, Sam grabbed his phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen. His parents hadn't contacted him in forty-eight hours, and it was a little understandable they were concerned about the oldest at the moment and he couldn't blame them.

"Dad?" he said, his face changed in a matter of a second at what his dad said. He hung up the phone.

"He's awake and the surgery went well" he whispered.

"Can we talk another time, family business and everything" he said, starting to walk towards Bumblebee, Bee having heard the waves the phone got off immediately started the engine, a soldier had just awaken. Before Mikaela could even speak, the two were speeding off towards the hospital. Mikaela huffed; Sam didn't even offer to take her along, to even introduce his brother to her. Mikaela sighed and turned to go back into her house, it looked like it was time to make drastic measures.
