Carmen:"Noooooooo, mi Ricardo."
Antonio can only watch as as Ricardo hits the water. He then starts to run down to the beach into the water.
Carmen:"No, Antonio." She runs toward a pay phone to call 911.
Antonio:"It's all my fault, I have to save him.", he yells towards his mother, as he swims
to the end of the pier, against the current.
Carmen:"Hurry to the beach..my son..fell from the pier.", she hangs up and murmurs. "Mijo....por favor (please) save my son.
Within a few minutes life guards and paramedics arrive on the scene. Antonio gets to the
edge of the pier, searching for Ricardo.
Antonio:*I've got to find him!*, he then looks a couple yards away and sees a bdoy faced
down in the water.
Casey and Micheal swim out to where Antonio had stopped.
Casey:"You found him.."
Antonio:"Yes, right here.", he starts to pull Ricardo back to shore.
Micheal:"Wait a minute don't move him, he appears to have a severe head injury and
maybe to the neck."
Carmen:"Do they see him?? Please tell me what is happening!!"
*Scene pans to South Bay General.*
Ricardo is in intensive care, barely concious. As the doctors get him connected to the machines, he keeps saying over and over again "Gabi, Gabi please come to me, where are you please.", until he is nearly yelling it.
Tyus:"We've got to sedate him, or he could suffer permanate damage."
Tyus:"Ricardo, you've got to calm down."
Meanwhile, Carmen is in the waiting room, nervously pacing around waiting for news on
Ricardo. She is sobbing lightly as Antonio comes up behind her.
Carmen:"Antonio, where have you been?"
Antonio:"I had to go change and I stayed an extra minute to pray for Ricardo."
Carmen:"I can't believe Gobbie...." She is interrupted when Tyus comes out of Ricardo's
room.
Antonio:"Tyus, whats happened with Ricardo?? How is he??"
Tyus:"It appears as though Ricardo has some head injuries. He may have a slight case of
amnesia, we have to run more tests."
Carmen:"Can we see him??"
Tyus:"I'm afraid not,I would rather not have any visitors until he is awake."
Antonio:"Wait a minute, why isn't he awake??"
Carmen:"Dios, mio, is he concious??"
Tyus:"He was, but we had to sedate Ricardo."
Antonio:"What happened..why??"
Tyus gets a page. "I'm sorry I have to go,now... I'll have to give you more news..." He
starts to walk away.
Antonio:"Wait, Tyus..."
Tyus:"Ricardo kept calling out Gabi's name, he was really upset.", He then runs out of the
room.
Carmen:"This doesn't make sense", she scowls. "Why would he say her name if...."
Antonio is thinking. *I have to get Gabi back here...*
Antonio:"I have to run to the mission.. to pray some more."
Carmen:"Are you sure that is why you are really going??"
In Ricardo's room he is beginning to wake. He is in a state of confusion. The last thing he seems to remember is a gun shot. *Was I just shot, is that why I'm here?* *No*, he remembers Gabi leaving. "Gabi, Gabi", he mumbles. "Where are you, Gabi why did you leave me." He starts to hypervenilate. The machine starts to beep and Ricardo blacks out.
