(Howie’s View)
I softly laid Christie on the floor. I made a decision right then. I was going to do it. I walked & pressed the button on the wall. I walked away from the door & Dr. Newman came into the room.
“What did you need Mr. Dorough,”
she asked.
“I don’t think you need to wait an hour for your answer. You want one of us, you have me,” I told him, “but I want you to let Christie sleep & let her go when she wakes up.”
“OK Mr. Dorough, but why do you want me to wait to wake Christie.”
“Because if you wake her she might try to fight you to get to me.”
“Good point. Now I want you to come with me, but first you must put these on” he said as he held up some handcuffs.

I turned around & allowed him to put on the cuffs. He led me down the hall to another room. Soon I felt some pressure in my neck & I fell to the floor. When I woke up I didn’t have a shirt on & I was held down by metal clasps. I had an IV in my arm. My body felt so weak. I tried to move, but a sharp pain in my neck stopped me. I looked around, but my sight was very blurry. Dr. Newman came into the room & told me a very angry Christie had just been escorted outside. I now knew that there was no turning back now. I had to do this to save Christie & Kara. I was asked if I wanted to pray before I was knocked out again. I did & prayed for my family & Christie. When I was finished they placed a mask over my mouth. I whispered goodbye & fell into a deep sleep.
