(no subject)
Last night i was babysitting Taylor. Was no different from any other time I babysat him, Connor was patrolling and Dylan was at work. Well until he was up in his room playing video games and I was in the living room watching the news because there was nothing else on. A story came on, a hostage situation, at the Siren's Lair. Where Dylan, Rhia, Destiny and Galen were working that night. The guys taking it hostage had lots of guns, and the reporter said to be shooting heard within the building. Damn.
I heard Taylor coming to the living room to see whats going on so I quickly changed it. No way I was going to let him see the place where his family works on the news like that. Unfortunatly I think he had already heard a bit of it and really wanted to know what was going on. I just told him everything would be fine and I just needed to call Connor. What else was I suppose to tell him?
Called Connor on his cell while he was patrolling, told him everything that was going on. The moment I got everything out that i knew he hung up on me, probably so he wouldn't waste time to get to them. Then I saw that Taylor was in the same room and heard everything I had told Connor. Nice going Matt, so much for making sure the kid isn't scared.
I just sat with him the rest of the evening and kept telling him everything would be okay. He believed that, he knew that Connor and Oz and the others would save them. No question about it in his mind, everyone in his family would be alright. I guess kids are lucky that way that they can think like that. Because I was definatly not as sure about it. Thoughts kept coming into my mind about what if Connor didn't get there in time, or worse if Connor busted through there with no back up and tried to take all the guys with guns down himself. I know Connor is strong, I've seen it, but no way he could take down that many guys with guns. Its impossible, he wouldn't...he wouldn't be able to.
We waited for them to come home. Dylan and Connor finally did. Taylor was right for the most part, everyone in his family were alive. But god, Dylan looked horrible. All beaten up. He was quiet too, more quiet than I have ever known him to be. I don't really know what happened, Dylan didn't talk about it and Connor isn't the great communicator. All I know it was bad, and while Taylor's family are all alive, I doubt a lot that they are all alright, not from the way Dylan looked and seemed.
Which, it just makes me mad. All of Taylor's family, they are always out there fighting and doing whats right. I know they are, they go through so much and yet they keep fighting for whats right. And then stuff like last night happen to them. Makes me really wonder what kind of justice is in this world. How God or whatever powers are up there can have people like me who didn't earn a good like have nice lives while the people who deserve them most of all just keep getting beaten down. What kind of system is that?
And the best part is that it doesn't seem like its going to get any better. Dylan during dinner on Friday asked if I could convince my family to go to Big Bear Lake with Taylor, Kathy and other people if things get anymore worse. It would take a bit of work, but if things do get worse I would be willing to. I don't want my family to get hurt, and its not like we got anywhere else to go. I'll see what i can do to convince my parents about that.
