Diane D Lays Unconscious Inside Hospital Room
Thirty minutes later, Margarita, Tomas, Mary, Barry, Tonio, Marilyn, Nicolas, Michael, Dr. Harvey and other family and relatives are inside Diane D's hospital room.
They surround Diane D worriedly looking at her as she lays face up in the hospital bed unconscious hooked to monitors with her face slightly bruised with eyes still puffy and swollen shut with casts and bandages wrapped around her upper arms, shoulders and wrists with a blanket over her lower body. There is a long chain attached to one of her ankles and the other end of the chain attached to the metal bars of the bed.
Later on that same evening, Barry, Tomas, Gracy, Grandpa Mike, Nicolas, Mickey, Nancy, Charlotte and Michael stand around Diane D’s hospital bed sadly staring at her as Mary and Margarita stand at the head of Diane D’s hospital bed patting Diane D’s forehead, eyes and neck with damp cloths as Diane D still lays unconscious hooked to monitors with eyes swollen shut and face slightly bruised. "When will she wake back up Grandma?” Mickey whispers.
“As soon as the sedation wears off,” Margarita whispers as she and Mary continue to pat Diane D's head, face and neck with the damp cloths.
"My God did she really do that?" Nancy whispers, "broke the chains loose from the couch?"
"Yes," Barry whispers, "that's why she's bandaged up. She wound up hurting herself when she did that."
"Yes she did," Margarita whispers. "And most likely, she's not going to remember doing that."
"My God," Nancy whispers.

"Did she really say that she was going to go after that kid Marcus and kill him?"
Charlotte whispers.
"Yes she did say that Charlotte," Barry whispers. "And most likely, she's not going to remember saying that either."
"Wow."
"Did she really lift that psychiatrist couch and throw it across the room?" Aunt Celeste whispers.
"Yep," Tonio whispers. "She sure did."
"Wow! How many times did she do that?!"
"I can't even count! It was a whole lot of times!"
"I know it was a whole lot of times because we kept hearing that couch being thrown and banged against the wall while we were outside in the hallway! We kept feeling the vibration! It really shook us up!"
"I bet it did! It shook us up too."
"Isn't that psychiatrist couch heavy?"
"Yeah it's heavy, but it wasn't heavy for her other personality to lift up and throw across the room banging it hard against the wall hitting the doctors and authority figures with."
"Why was her other personality throwing and banging the couch against the wall?!"
Nancy whispers.
"I don't know. I guess it got so angry when the doctor told it to stay away from Diane."
"My God," Charlotte whispers. "It's a good thing Nancy and I left the room before they brought that other personality out of her because I wouldn't want to hear what her other personality was saying nor witness any of that stuff her other personality did!"
"Me neither," Nancy says.
"Well you did miss a lot girls," Tonio says.
"You missed a whole lot," Marilyn says. "And it's a good thing you did miss a lot or you would be traumatized too."
"See?" Nancy whispers. "I told you! When Charlotte and I started to leave that hypnosis room, I asked were any of you coming with me and her, but you all chose to stay!"
"Well some of us had to stay in the room with Diane Nancy!" Margarita whispers.
"If we all had left the room, there would be no family members in the room with Diane!
She would have been in there all alone with no family members in there for her! And we would have never heard with our own ears all those things her other personality or personalities were saying and admitting to!"
"Wow. I'm traumatized just hearing about all of this! Maybe I shouldn't have said anything about my encounter with her other personality."
"No?" Barry whispers. "Why not?"
"Because look what happened! All these people got hurt! The doctors got hurt, the priest got hurt, security guards, police officers, a swat team, even Diane herself got hurt!"
"We almost got hurt too Nancy," Marilyn whispers. "That psychiatrist couch practically skinned our heads when it flew right over our heads towards the police officers! If we didn't duck down in time, that couch would have smashed right into our heads instead of those police officers' heads."
220
"Wow," Charlotte says. "How were you all able to duck down just in the nick of time to keep from getting hit with the couch when the police officers didn't duck down in time and wind up getting hit with that couch? Did you all knew the couch was coming?"
"Well our instincts automatically had us duck down real quick when we felt something about to fly right at our heads Charlotte," Barry says.
"Your instincts?"
"Yeah."
"Well what about the police officers' instincts? Didn't they have instincts too?"
"I guess their instincts wasn't fast enough for some reason."
"See?!" Nancy shouts. "See what I mean?! If I never said anything, you wouldn't have almost got hurt! You all almost got hurt and got traumatized and I feel like it's my fault for saying something!"
"No Nancy!" Margarita says. "If you see something, say something! You saw that something wasn't right with Diane and you spoke up about it! That's what you should do."
"Yeah you did the right thing Nancy," Tomas says. They all sadly look back at Diane D as she remains unconscious.
The next morning, a man and a woman in the street who are around their late forties are reading a newspaper with a different headline that reads: THE SUDDEN
SILENCE: DIANE D'S FAMILY BECOME SHOCKED WHEN HER OTHER
PERSONALITY ALL OF A SUDDEN BECOMES SILENT WHEN DOCTORS ASKED HER
OTHER PERSONALITY A SPECIFIC QUESTION ABOUT HER COUSIN DANA: “Wow,”
the woman says. “This article says when the doctors spoke to Diane D's other personality and asked it questions about her cousin Dana, it answered all the questions except for one! When the doctors asked Diane D's other personality, this specific question about her cousin Dana, her family became shocked when her other personality all of a sudden became silent and didn't answer the specific question about her cousin Dana!"
"Oh yeah?" the man says. "What specific question did the doctors ask Diane D's other personality about her cousin Dana?"
"It doesn't say. The doctors and Diane D's family think that the other personality might know something about her cousin Dana but is somehow hiding it to protect Dana."
"Hiding it to protect Dana?"
"Yeah!"
"That's what they think?"
"Yeah, that's what I think too!"
"Well maybe that other personality could be hiding something, so it probably plead the Fith Amendment, 'the right to remain silent' and that's exactly what that other personality sound like it did. Remained silent during a specific question."
"Wow. Now everybody in town is wondering, 'what could Diane D's other personality be hiding about her cousin Dana that it doesn't want anybody else to know about'!"
"Wow. That is a mystery."
221
"It is." The man and woman continue to look at the article.
Later on that day, Margarita, Tomas and Dr. Harvey are inside Dr. Kahn's hospital room standing by his bedside as Dr. Kahn lays in a hospital bed unconscious hooked to tubes and monitors with bandages wrapped around his head and neck. "How is he Doctor Harvey?" Margarita asks.
"I don't know," Dr. Harvey says. "He suffered a brain hemorrhage."
"A brain hemorrhage!" Margarita and Tomas shout.
"Oh God!" Margarita shouts. "I'm so sorry this all happened!"
"Is there anything we can do for him Doctor Harvey?" Tomas asks.
"The only thing we can do for him Mister Tomas, is pray," Dr. Harvey says.
"Oh God," Margarita says as she cries on Tomas' shoulders as Tomas sadly tries to comfort her.
Around an hour later, Margarita, Tomas and Dr. Harvey are inside Dr. Stone's hospital room as Dr. Stone lays awake in a hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around his head. "How are you feeling Doctor Stone?" Margarita sadly asks.
"Not good at all," Doctor Stone says. "I guess you all are right. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to bring that other personality out of Diane, look where it's got us! I'm laying here in the hospital, Doctor Kahn is laying here in the hospital, the security guards are laying here in the hospital so is a priest, police officers and a swat team?! We're all laying in here! This is exactly what Doctor Kahn and I were afraid of, laying here in this very same hospital. As you can see, our worst fears came true. Then I hear the police officers' families want to sue me and Doctor Kahn!"
"Wow Doctor Stone," Tomas says. "We're so sorry this happened. We all now see, that this wasn't a good idea."
"It wasn't! We only wanted to hypnotize Diane because of the encounter your other granddaughter Nancy had with her other personality! We were trying to see, if this same personality had anything to do with beating up Marcus inside the school and entering his dreams and nightmares! We found out, that it did! We only wanted to help Diane with her split personality situation and at the same time help Marcus end his nightmares of her! We wanted to help both of them, but it didn't work out."
"So sorry Doctor Stone," Margarita says.
"How's Doctor Kahn doing?"
"He's still sedated," Dr. Harvey says.
"He is?"
"Yes. He was hurt real bad."
"Oh God." Dr. Stone then looks at Margarita and Tomas and says, "How about you guys, how do you feel? I heard you were all traumatized by what happened."
"Yes Doctor Stone," Margarita says. "We're still traumatized by what happened."
"That's right Doctor Stone," Tomas says. "We were so traumatized that we almost had to be admitted into the hospital ourselves! We're still not quite over what happened yesterday, seeing Diane talking, but hearing someone else speaking! It was very creepy for us."
"It was! Then hearing her other personality admitting to all these other things in Diane's past like beating up Marcus, kung fu kicking the stuck storage room door wide open at the other hospital, attacking the correction officers inside the jail cell, waiting 222
in Diane's physical body all night long for those correction officers to come back to the cell, then looking at the nurse who came into the cell to check on her, then hearing her other personality admitting to things that happened way before Diane herself was even born, like killing people throughout the centuries once every fifty years, then seeing her third personality go off like that attacking you doctors, having superhuman strength by breaking the chains loose from the couch, then lifting that heavy couch, spinning it in the air then tossing it across the room at the authority figures knocking some of them out cold then chain whips them with the chains while she's upside down doing hand stands and winds up causing two officers to be shot! That is still so unbelievable!"
"It is! What happened yesterday was all too much for us to take Doctor Stone!
When that couch came speeding and slamming into those security guards', police officers' and the swat team members' heads, I was so scared that they were going to be decapitated or something!"
"Yeah me too!"
"I don't think it's anything my family and I will ever get over! We were not prepared for that! Especially seeing something like that happening in front of our eyes and happening within our own family! We were not prepared for that at all!"
"I know," Dr. Stone says. "Sorry we all had to witness that. See? This is exactly what Doctor Kahn and I were afraid of, knowing Diane's other personality's violent history, that's why we wanted to chain her physical body up! But obviously we all saw, that the chains did not stop her other personality's powerful wrath!"
"It certainly didn't."
"How is Diane by the way? How is she doing? Have you seen her again since you were released from the emergency room?"
"Yes we were all in her hospital room a little while ago," Margarita says.
"You were? Well how is she?"
"She's still sedated Doctor Stone," Tomas says.
"She is?"
"Yes."
"So she still has no idea what went on."
"No she has no idea."
"She does not know that authority figures are laying in the very same hospital she's in because of the injuries she inflicted on them?"
"No Doctor Stone she does not know," Margarita says. "And I'm afraid she's not going to know for a while because they might have her sedated for a while."
"Oh yeah? Wow. I see."
"Well we're going to let you get some rest Doctor Stone," Dr. Harvey says.
"Okay Doctor Harvey."
"Get better."
"Okay."
"By Doctor Stone," Margarita says.
"By Miss Margarita."
Margarita, Tomas and Dr. Harvey turn and leave Dr. Stone's bedside as they sadly stare at him.
Injured police officers lay in another hospital room in hospital beds with bandages wrapped around all their heads and necks.
223
In the next room, Margarita, Tomas and Dr. Harvey stand beside one of the injured officers who was shot in the chest. The officer is unconscious as he lays hooked to tubes and monitors with a bandage wrapped around his head and a brace wrapped around his neck. Margarita sadly places her hand on the injured officer's shoulder and cries to him, "I'm so sorry for this. I'm sorry this all happened." Margarita takes her hand off the injured officer's shoulder as she and Tomas tearfully look at him.
Dr. Harvey turns to them and says, "We better leave now." Dr. Harvey, Margarita and Tomas then turn and leave the injured officer's bedside as they sadly stare at him.
Dr. Harvey, Margarita and Tomas step out into the hospital hallway. Margarita and Tomas turn to Dr. Harvey as Margarita says, "So they're not sure if he's going to make it?"
"No, they're not sure Miss Margarita," Dr. Harvey says. "His neck is also broken."
"What!" Margarita and Tomas shout.
"His neck is broken?!" Tomas shouts.
"I'm afraid so," Dr. Harvey says. "Even if he does survive from what happened, he could still wind up being paralyzed."
"Paralyzed!" Margarita and Tomas shout.
"Yes! He's not the only one with a broken neck. A few other officers' necks got broken too."
"A few other officers?!" Margarita shouts.
"I'm afraid so. If they survive, they might wind up being paralyzed too."
"Oh nooo!"
"A couple of other officers are in comas."
"Comas?!" Margarita and Tomas shouts.
"Yeah. Other officers and swat team members got their heads split opened."
"Heads split opened?!"
"Oh yeah. Didn't you notice that all the officers, swat team members and security officers we just went to visit all had bandages wrapped around their heads? Every single person that got hurt by that couch have bandages wrapped around their heads and necks! Even Doctor Stone and Doctor Kahn have bandages wrapped around their heads!"
"This is so hard to believe!" Tomas shouts.
"Well believe it Mister Tomas. It's possible for several people to have broken necks, heads split open and in comas if a heavy object comes speeding at them then slamming right into them at sixty, seventy or eighty miles an hour! That other personality of Diane's did a lot of serious damage to these people! Her other personality became a one person army! I just hope and pray this officer and all the other people pull through."
Margarita and Tomas sadly look at Dr. Harvey as Dr. Harvey sadly looks back at him.
Dr. Harvey then says, "Come on, let's go." Dr. Harvey, Margarita and Tomas turn and sadly walk down the hallway.
