Carter's Mark - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Omega             “So, you brought me here?”  James had never spoken to Seth Marks, but knew him all too well.             “Yes, along with my friend Wyatt; you remember him from the house,” Seth replied.  The mood in the hospital room was calm, considering the situation.              “Well then, thank you both.  Why did you help me?”  Carter’s memories were a bit shaken, and he had holes in his recollection of anything after the gunshot.              “Because you stood up for us.
