"I was thinking the sa," Tom confessed "I wanted to stay here with you to make sure you’re safe if your uncle has a death wish and tries to steal you away fro we should go to the hospital and see if CJ changes his story I have so I want to ask him"

"He needs morphine," Doc Weber said to Darien, as he looked at the X-ray of CJ’s broken leg "I’ll rebreak the bone where it has knit together wrong and realign it properly"

"I need to question hi," Darien said

"You’re welcoive him morphine"

Tom and Elizabeth slipped into CJ’s hospital room as Nurse Matthew inserted an IV into CJ’s hand Jake and Peter stood nearby, arms folded across their chests

Jake finally said to CJ, "Okay, so you say you didn’t have anything to do with anything, yet you knew about everything"

"I overheard "

"And you here at the time?" Darien asked

"Mr Winston’s place on the outskirts of town"

"And just what did you overhear?"

"Their plan to scout out the perimeter of the territory, around the farms, to see what they could see"

"Why would they want to do that?"

"I don’t know," CJ said "But ould they lie? They didn’t knoas there"

Darien said, "Or they knew and they fed you a line of bull in case we picked you up and you spilled your guts about as going on Or you’re lying to save your ass"

"No, I swear that’s all that I know," CJ insisted

"That’s all?" Darien asked

CJ hesitated "Yes"

To for Elizabeth But when I heard the plane crash, I didn’t even know Elizabeth had been on it until I found her, so how did you know that?"

CJ didn’t say

"I could break your uninjured leg," Jake said "You know, to take your mind off the pain when Doc rebreaks the injured one"
