Re: The Hammonds, Savannah, others
"I get it, Thomas. I do, sweetie. I know what it's like to feel like your entire world is crumbling around you, because the person you love the most is in danger." She reached over and touched his cheek with her free hand. "We will know what's going on as soon as Robert comes back, but nothing you can do will be as fast as him."
She knew about G and Sam and their belief not to lie, but she didn't think hope and promises were lies. "Maura is going to do everything in her power, and so will we. We will do what's best for Travis, and right now, Robert needs to focus on helping her save Travis." God, why wasn't his family helping? This was when Thomas needed the most help, but if they couldn't do it, then he would have family, even if he didn't want or like her brand of family.
"I know that you want to do what's best for Travis, and right now, you need to be strong for him. Going there, taking resources away is not what he needs. He needs you to take care of things here, he needs you to stay strong and don't do anything that puts either one of you in danger." She hugged him again, before pulling back. "I know it's hard, but you told me how much Travis did for you, how much he played with the rules to be there for you. It's time for you to do that for him, to be strong no matter how much it hurts, how much you want to be there, because there are things that we need to do here, while Maura does what she does best, while she focuses on Travis. You need to focus on the things we do here and we will get you there as soon as it's possible. I promise you. I'll speak with Robert and make sure that it happens, but I need you to be a patient a little, give them the time to give Travis the best care possible, because I know that's what you want."
