Something woke Scott but he wasn’t sure what it was at first, then as he turned to go back to sleep he realized, “Johnny.”

Scott ran to Johnny’s room and saw him tossing and turning on the bed.  “It’s okay Johnny, I’m here I’ll protect you little brother.” Scott sat and rubbed Johnny’s trembling back.

Soothed by his big brother’s voice, Johnny woke and leaned into Scott’s hug.

Murdoch heard the noise and headed for Johnny’s room but stopped when he saw Scott comforting his little brother. 

Relieved, Murdoch walked over to sit with his sons.

Everyone was safe.
