Summary: Keith and Laurie walk home one day. Two guys come up to him and Laurie and rob them. Keith fights back. But, he gets beat up and left for dead.

A cool winter night came over San Pueblo as Keith and Laurie Partridge walked back home alone from a movie. "Remember the part where he fought off that ninja?", Laurie asked Keith. Keith nodded. Keith loved his little sister more than life itself. He'd do anything for her. "Drop down on your knees now.", a deep voice came from behind them and Keith felt a cold hard weapon in his back. Keith looked over at Laurie and saw another gun pointed at her head.

"Leave the girl alone.", Keith said as he got down on his knees. He felt hands go through his pockets and take out his wallet. He looked over at Laurie. The other gunman had his hand on the trigger and he cocked it. Laurie turned to Keith and began to cry. Keith's Big brother instincts kicked in. He got up fighting back. "Laurie, I want you to run.", Keith said as the two men began to beat him up.

"Think you're funny pretty boy, do you?", the first gunman asked kicking Keith in the stomach. Laurie just stood there watching her brother cough and get up. Laurie admired that about her brother. He was a fighter. Keith punched one in the eye. The other one came charging at him and punched him in the eye. Keith went down as they started getting more aggressive. They began kicking him and punching him.

"Leave him alone.", Laurie screamed as she ran up to her brother and chased them away from him. Keith lay there motionless. He coughed and Laurie ran up to him. "Keith. Keith, you're going to be okay. I'll call for help.", she said getting up. Keith grabbed ahold of her arm. "No. Laurie, don't leave me.", Keith said trying to get up. Laurie helped him up and sat him down at a payphone. She started crying as she saw her brother with a black eye holding back tears.

The phone rang at the Partridge residence. Shirley answered it. "Hello?", Shirley said as she stopped the vacuum and heard Laurie's crying over the phone. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down Laurie. What happened to Keith?", Shirley asked.

"We were being robbed and these two guys came up and told us to get on our knees. The one that had me cocked his gun and Keith tried to fight back but there were too many. And mom, he's hurt bad. And I'm scared.", Laurie said trying to fight back the tears that were now trying to escape from her eyes. Shirley gasped. She went to call Reuben. "Reuben!", Shirley said frantically over the phone.

"That was my ear. Now what?", the manager said into the phone. Shirley was crying and Reuben said, "He what?". Shirley said, "He got jumped trying to save Laurie and he's hurt. Laurie called me and she was worried about him.". Reuben sighed and rubbed his temples. "I'll go get him to take him to the hospital.", Reuben said getting up and getting his coat on. "Oh. Thank you Reuben.", Shirley said as she sighed. She hung up and cried.

Reuben showed up to the parking lot where Keith and Laurie were robbed in ten minutes' time. Laurie was holding his head cradling him like their mother did when they had a bad dream. Keith had a black eye and was bleeding and bruised. "Hey kid.", Reuben said to Laurie as she started to sing. "I'll take it from here. You go on home. Tell your mom I'll meet her at the hospital okay?", Reuben asked as he picked Keith up and carried him to the van where he laid him in the backseat.

Laurie climbed in. "Can you drop me off at the house?", Laurie asked as she closed the door. He smiled. "Sure I can.", he said as he drove off.

"Remember to tell your mother which hospital to meet me.", Reuben said as she nodded not looking at him. He smiled. "He'll be okay kid. Don't worry.", Reuben said as he closed the door and drove off. Keith whimpered in the back seat and Reuben whispered. "Hold on kid. Almost there.".

Laurie ran inside. "Mom! Mom?", Laurie called throughout the house. Shirley came from out of the kitchen and wiped her hands. Shirley's eyes were still red from crying. "Laurie, your okay. How's Keith?", Shirley asked hugging her and smiling. Laurie pulled out of her mother's hug and said, "Reuben's taking him to the hospital. I'm sorry, mom. It's all my fault.", Laurie said as she began to cry.

Shirley shook her head looking at her daughter. "No. It's not your fault. Don't ever say that. Do you understand me, Laurie?", Shirley started crying again. Laurie nodded. Shirley smiled. "What hospital is he at?", Shirley asked as Tracy, Chris, and Danny came down. Tracy asked, "What's wrong with Keith?".

"Come on kids. We have to go to the hospital.", Shirley said as she grabbed their coats and walked out the door to the bus.

Reuben sat with Keith keeping a constant eye on him to make sure he doesn't fall or he doesn't have a concussion. Keith whimpered with every move. "It's okay kid.", Reuben said.

Finally, "Keith Partridge?", a nurse called into the waiting room. Reuben wheeled a wheelchair up to the door and set Keith slowly in the seat. He left Keith in there as he waited for Shirley to show up.
