Black Secret

*Loud Beeping Monitor Machine*

On the bed, Seth Judson laid unconscious, shirtless, a large mark embodied on his chest, it was a scar from the operation, several wires connected to it, along with his hands and head, a mouth breather present on his nose and mouth, faint feeble breaths could be heard.

"How is he?" she demands.

Steve turns to her holding a transparent iPad.

"Still no brain activity" he answers firmly.

Barbra's heart sank at his words.

"I see," she said faintly as her eyes grew wistful.

It was rare to see her like this, it was always a mystery to Steve, but he knew Seth was the only one who could reach her cold stone heart, the only one she truly cared for.

"His heart was badly damaged by the bullet, it was a miracle it was still beating when you brought him to me" Steve as the memories of three years ago flood in his head.
