"He needs something other than a corpsman," Father Raphael spoke aloud. "What in the name of the lord is wrong with him? Could this be what the newscasters are talking about? Does  your friend Wesley have what is being talked about? In all my years, I have never seen anything like this before."<br/><br/>Father Raphael considered approaching Wesley and checking him over, but the way his behavior changed, he rethought that course of action, deciding against it. He backed up as Wesley moved down the hall. When he lunged for de Santa and fell, Raphael believed there was no saving him. He blessed himself and whispered a brief prayer for Wesley's soul. "I wonder if Wesley is even in there anymore?" Father Raphael uttered for all to hear.<br/><br/>Miguel asked for someone to call 911. Raphael walked toward the desk, but realized, the big man,<span style="font-style: italic">Ken</span>was there to do it. Assuming Ken would call the police, Raphael walked to the waiting area to retrieve his gym bag. He stored the bible and water bottle back inside and zipped it up. He slid his left arm through the carry straps, so the bag hung off his left side.<br/><br/>A woman walked in the front door. She apparently was related to Wesley based on her behavior and speech. Then the gun shot rang out. Raphael quickly caught himself and stared at Ken in disbelief.<span style="font-style: italic">'Why would he condemn his immortal soul to hell?'</span>Raphael thought to himself. There could be no rational explanation for shooting Wesley. He looks like he needs our help, not our bullets.<br/><br/>Like a miracle out of the good book, Wesley slowly dragged himself back to an erect posture. The blackened veins were disconcerting and the blood oozing out of the bullet wound was not promising. Surprisingly, Wesley was able to stand of his own strength. "Incredible!" Raphael uttered watching the young man stand after being shot in the chest.<br/><br/>He could hear the police sirens in teh background, but the shock of watching the young man walk when he should be dead, made Raphael question many things. It was an apocalyptic moment.
