Words Spoken True
“The doctor had dug the bullet out of his shoulder. He’d poked and prodded around on her father’s head and pulled up his eyelids to peer at his eyes. He’d listened to his heart and checked for broken ribs.
Through it all her father had shown no sign of life other than the rising and falling of his chest. But surely as long as he was breathing, there was hope. She had to believe there was hope, even though Dr. Hammon wouldn’t quite meet her eyes as he packed up his instruments and told her to sen...d for him if there was any change. She had to believe there was hope in spite of the way Beck was walking around with his shoulders hunched over as though somebody had punched him in the stomach.
Her father would come to. He’d look up at her and want to know why she was sitting there beside him when there was a paper to get out. He’d tell her to bring him a pen and paper so he could write down what he saw happen. He’d say the people had to know the truth.
