Chapter 352: I'm okay.. just give me a minute

Sheldon POV

I try to cover my cries as I move away from Lucky. I get out out bed and he head for the bathroom. I fall down to the floor covering my mouth as I sob. I keep having the same nightmare it's a mix between when they burned his face and I lost my hand and the one where he lost his hand and they burned my face. His screams haunt me. I miss him so much. It's been four days since we got here without him and I'm over it. We haven't heard anything yet. I think they killed him and I'm terrified to be right.

My stomach is healing but my weight is still under and they won't just let me pig out because of the damage the bullet caused to a part of my intestines.

A knock makes me jump. I gasp and wipe my face.

"I'm okay Lucky. Just give me a minute." I say.

"It's me Sheldon. Do you want me to bring you some bacon from that place you like down the street?" She asks.

"Yes thank you mom. Can you also bring Lucky back that thick milkshake he likes with the cookies in it?"

"Yes of course. Do you want to come out and talk about it before I leave?" She asks and I can't help as the tears fall harder now making me choke up as I answer her "I'm okay mom... I lo..love you." I say biting back a sob. My chest aches so much and my stomachs in knots.

"I love you too Shelly we'll be back soon." I listen as her steps fade away. I get in the shower and cry till I can't cry anymore.

"Brother, I got to take a piss so bad." I hear Lucky say on the other side of the door. I'm glad he can't see the red puffiness of my eyes. I laugh and open the door as I'm drying off.

"Tell me when?" He says using the walking stick they gave him to get around with.

"Go ahead just stay straight this time." I say laughing.

"Fuck you! You try pissing with your eyes closed and see how easy it is." He says laughing.

He is getting some sight back in his right eye but his left is still struggling a bit. They have a lot of resources here at least to help, he even goes to physical therapy to help strengthen his eyes he does that why I do my muscle physical therapy to help build the muscle back on my body.

He's a really great friend and person. I was wrong about their whole relationship they have going on and I feel bad about giving Finley so much crap about it. They really love each other and I'd be honored if I was welcomed in once we get Finley back home. I wipe a tear that escapes.

"Your doing better at getting around. Want to go take my stupid walk with me?" He asks.

"Yeah. My mom's going to bring us back some bacon from that food place and your shake you like." He smiles and grabs my shirt kissing my head or most of my head.

"She's the best. Your trying it this time." He says laughing.

"I'll get you some clothes out." I freeze as I walk back in the room and there's some Military Officers standing there with another man in a suit.

"Who that fuck are you?" I say as I get Lucky some clothes. I pull a shirt on. I watch as they eye all the scars from the whips, knifes, burns and bullets that riddle my chest, stomach and back now.

"I'm here to ask you some questions about some issues that came up in the post you were brought in from." I nod my head and jog over to help Lucky to the bed.

"Mr.Smith-Spencer we would like to talk to you as well. We have taken the statments of all the other men including Mr. Spencer." I drop my water cup and water splashes out going everywhere.

"You mean Lincoln?" Lucky says grabbing my hand and squeezing it. Of course that's who they mean. He shakes his head and looks at his clipboard.

"No the other missing man Finley Spencer." He says.

My legs give out and I hit the floor.

"Where did...where is he? Lucky stutters out as he waves his hand around feeling for me. I touch his hand and he grabs me pulling me up a little till I stand. I sit next to him on the bed.

"He spoke with me earlier today on a video conference. He has made some deal with someone beyond my clearance level. You are once again a american citizen and once your statement is completed you will no longer have any outstanding warrant out for your arrest. Once Mr Spencer has completed his part of the agreement he will also be free of charges and again a american citizen." I look at the guy and I'm in shock, I guess is what this is. I can't breath and my body is shaking so hard I feel like I'm going to vibrate all the way off this bed.

"I don't understand?" Lucky says holding his head.

"Fuck!" I say looking at him. I gently pull him back to the top of the bed railing. I elevate his legs slightly like the nurse showed me and push the call button.

"Is he okay?" The man asks.

I shake my head. He looks at his notes and nods in understanding to me.

"I will keep most questions to a true or false to speed this along for now. You two were the only ones to receive life threatening injuries. We understand Mr Mumford that your injury was not caused at the post but according to your doctor's your long-term health is now affected from them denying you proper Medical assistance once you've arrived is that true?"

"Yes sir." I say. Getting a plastic puke tub for Lucky just in case. I put it on his stomach and move a hand so he can feel it.

"Mr.Smith-Spencer your life-threatening injuries were caused as you were being escorted out of the post to a helicopter is this true?"

"Yes." Lucky says quietly.

"You were hit once in the back of the head by a high powered rifle which rendered you unconscious after which they continued to strike you another three or four times in the same spot? To your recollection is this true?"

"Yes and yes." Lucky says.

"Okay gentlemen that is all for now I'll contact your Lawyer.." He looks at his clipboard "Ahh yes that's right another Mr. Spencer.. Lincoln if I have any other questions. We won't let what happened to you and your men go without punishment. From the statments and the video evidence as well as your medical records I don't see that this will take too long. Best of luck on your recovery and thank you for your cooperation." He says walking out followed by the other two.
