Chapter 6

"Hello Brian," Dr. Brogan said. "How are you feeling this morning."

"Ready to leave. When will I be able to leave?"

"Well, you're not that ready yet,"she answered. "We still have to get you into physical therapy, we have to get you up and learning to walk again."

"It's gonna be a long wait huh?"

"Maybe. But it'll be worth it."

"Yeah. When do I start physical therapy."

"Well, depending on the test results I'm taking now. But you will be visiting with the Physical therapist later today. She's a nice lady, and I think you guys will get along well."

"I hope so, this is really frustrating."

"I know it must be. You're strong Brian, and I believe in you."

"Thank You, it's really nice of you to say that, but I just don't know...... I will never be the same again. I will alway have problems."

"Well, I'm done. I will have someone come up here and help you to physical therapy in the next hour. K?"

"Alright. Thanks."

"Yo Kev!" A.J. screamed as he entered Kevin's room with Howie.

"Hey guys how are y'all?"

"We're doing fine," Howie said. "A.J.'s the best outta all of us. I think Nick's bad guys."

"Yeah," Kevin said. "It's been almost 2 weeks and I don't think he's woken up yet. Brian's getting pretty worried too."

"Have you seen Brian?" A.J. asked.

"No, but Kristen, and our family has told us."

"Wow, hey did *Nsync come in and visit you?" A.J. asked.

"Yeah," Kevin and Howie both said.

"I thought it was pretty nice of them." Of course Kevin said. "It was mature of them."

"You know it's only because Chris wanted to see me and Lance wanted to see Brian right?"

Howie did have a point. But the thought of it was nice. They were going out of their way to make sure that they were taken care of and they were going to feel better soon. The thought of that kind of frightened A.J. and he was a little suspicious, but what could he do in here... nothing.

At the station, Brooke and the other EMT's sat at their desks and did their homework while on call that evening.

"I just find it very odd that one group got in 2 separate accidents and both cars were totaled." Jamie argued.

"It is odd, but it could have been anything," Val said.

"I agree with Jamie," Brooke said. "I mean, c'mon Val, you know it's suspicious, and you like Nick, so I figured you would want to find out who did this just as much as Jamie and me."

"BROOKE!" Val scolded, "and since when did Jamie ever want to get involved with boybands anyways?"

"um...."Jamie said thinking.

"--They're not a boyband," Brooke interjected.

"Yeah," Jamie said. "and, this is police and detective stuff, I'm good with this."

"That's only because you have first hand at it," Tyler spoke up.

"Yeah Jamie, you're just in it because you know more than the police themselves." Hank said.

"Thanks guys. Thanks." Jamie said laughing.

The thought just wouldn't leave his mind. Just then *Nsync's new video came up on MTV and it hit Jamie like a rock. 'It's *Nsync,' he thought. 'It has to be, why else would all the guys be here?' To Jamie it was all making sense now.... or was it?

"Brooke, You're a big Backstreet fan right?" Jamie asked quickly.

"Yeah, of course I know EVERYTHI--"

"Great. Which guy decided to dump that old fat guy?"

"You mean Lou Pearlman?"

"Yeah, who's idea was it?"

"Well, all of theirs, but Brian called the attorny."

"Great. Thanks!" Jamie said as he quickly ran out.

"Where's he going?" Val said. "We're on call until 9 p.m.!"

"He's weird, I'm gonna follow him." Brooke said as she sneakfully left.
