HE SAID (3/11) “Yes sir, may I help you?” “I’m Brian Kinney where's my son?” “Mr. Kinney your son is in Room 422 but there's a police detective waiting to talk to you in the waiting room on that floor. The waiting room is next to the elevator doors.” “Thank you Nurse my partner is very concerned for our son which is why he ran off without thanking you himself.” “I understand completely, it happens all of the time.” “How is he, how is Gus?” “Mr. Kinney I presume? Calm down, the doctors tell me that other than some superficial abrasions and bruises he's ok physically. They're concerned that he hasn’t awakened yet.” “Can we see him? I need to see him so that I know he's OK. He's always been a deep sleeper and can sleep anywhere anytime ever since he was a baby.” “Yes Mr. Kinney I’ll take you to his room and once you've seen him we can talk.” “Sure, sure, take us to him, this is Justin Taylor, my partner and Gus’ Dad.” “Gus’ room is just down the hallway.” “Come on Justin don’t dawdle.” “Brian calm down, Gus is ok.” “I won’t know that until I can see him. Just to think that fucking bastard had his hands on my Sonnyboy.” “Calm down Brian you won’t help Gus if you aren’t yourself.” “Sonnyboy, wake up and tell your Pop what happened. Wake up Gus.” “Pop what're you doing here? Where's Monty? Where am I? Why am I in the hospital? OH MY GOD NO. Is Monty ok?” “Gus you have to tell us what you remember about the attack, so that the police can find the son of a mother fucking bastard.” “Pop how is Monty, you have to tell me. Why isn’t he here? Dad where is Monty?” “Gus I’m sorry but Monty was killed by the Strangler. What do you remember?” “But Monty isn’t blond, I’m blond why did he let me go?” “What do you mean, let you go?” “I remember getting out of Monty’s car and starting towards his friend’s building. Then I felt something pulling around my neck, I couldn’t breathe and it was hurting. Then I heard some guy say . . ..” “This is Detective Coons, Gus what did he say?” “He said . . .” TBC
