*Josh storms into the room handcuffed*

JOSH
EMMA! Are you alright? What happened?

EMMA
JOSH! Oh mygod Josh. Youre here.
SHARON

JOSH
Whats wrong with my sister Doctor?

DOCTOR
Well Emma, you have Glioblastoma. Its a tumor, that was growing on
your cerebral hemisphere, and has now reached your spinal cord. Without
surgery, your chances of living are very slim.

SHARON
Do the surgery please. Ill find some way to get the money to pay for it all.

EMMA
How mom? Everything we have is gone. Dads gone, Josh is in jail, and now
without the money, Ill be gone.

SHARON
DONT YOU DARE SAY THAT. WELL GET THROUGH THIS. Youre going to come out
of this hospital healthier than ever. Let mum just find a way through all this.

DOCTOR
Sorry to interrupt, but might I ask, where is the father?

SHARON
Hes gone

PARKER

SHARON

Parker?

JOSH & EMMA

DAD?

PARKER
I came back and found out from our neighbours that you were here. Why is Josh
handcuffed? What happened to Emma?

*SHARON slaps PARKER*

SHARON
Where have you been for the past 11 years? You said youd be back real soon. Do
you know the hell weve been going through without you?

PARKER
Im sorry. I didnt want to fail you guys anymore. So I swore to never comeback
until I could give all of us our lives back. Honey I did it. We have enough money
to last us for at least 6 generations .

DOCTOR
Ill go prep the OR then.

PARKER
THE OR?

DOCTOR
Yes Mr.Parker. But dont you worry. Emma is in the hands of a very very good
neuro surgeon.

EMMA & JOSH

Dad!
