After Brian reflected on what Jerry said.He left the restaurant industry to start his own business.They lost touch after that, but he often thought about him when he made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.Several years later , he heard that Jerry did something he is never supposed to do in a restaurant business.He left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers.While trying to open the safe , his hand , shaking from nervousness , slipped off the combination.The robbers panicked and shot him.

Luckily,Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still on his body.Brian saw Jerry about six months after the accident.He asked Jerry why weren't scared and he said he say he asked himself if he will choose to live, or die.
