It feels like I lost half of my body. I ripped off the covers of the thin hospital sheets. My legs are still there. Weird.

I tried to move it, I really did. I even asked Dan to move them. I couldn't feel a thing. Oh, so first the black band and now paralyzation? How great. My train of thought crashed when a doctor walked in. "How are you, Philip?"

I squeezed my eyes shut. "I can't feel my legs."

"Ah, yes," he said. "Where you have been shot had injured the nerves that control your lower body. I'm afraid you will have to use wheelchairs from now on."

Letting out a deep sigh as he left, I pondered what I would do next. What will happen? Louise, PJ, and Chris all busted through the door. "PHIL! WHAT HAPPENED?" All three burst out.

I winced at their loud tone. "I... I got shot and now I'm paralyzed hip-down."

Louise looked at me sympathetically. Her band glowed blue, as did the other two. "We're... we're so sorry," she murmured.

Chris came over and patted my arm while PJ asked, "Who shot you?"

Taking in a deep breath, I said, "My mother..."

They all gasped in unison. To break the silence, I asked, "Where's Dan?"
