Me: Heheh... time for another crossover!

Picup: Wewt!

Me: For those who are going to read let me note a few things:

1. Yes, there is another GUILT, but this time it's going to be another pain in the ass
like Triti.
2. If you know Persona 3, this is set 10 years after the end of the game, most social
links maxed.
3. Yes, the Dark Hour is back. Let's just say, it's slightly part of a Role Playing plot.
4. If you read Treacherous Meetings, it is probably gonna flop between Trauma
Center and Persona 3 like that.

GS: Let's see how this on comes out and don't hurt yourself like last time World.

World: I know hehe.

Disclaimer: The author doesn't own Trauma Center or Persona 3 because they both
belong to Atlus.

oOoOoOo

Hidden Hour Hold

Chapter One: Caduceus Japan's Call

oOoOoOo

To: Head Director Robert Hoffman, Caduceus USA

Fwd to: Director Sidney Kasal, Caduceus USA

From: Akira Kazuo, Caduceus Japan

At 22: 35, June 6th, a patient we have been monitoring has started to receive a positive
Chiral Reaction. We have discovered something odd affecting their nerves and muscles
as well as their lungs now. The patient is currently under ICU quarantine on assisted
breathing and we request for Doctor Derek Stiles to perform the operation as the
situation becomes increasingly worse.
Also, we have received news on a proposition from
the CEO of the Kirijo Group. Contact Caduceus Japan for more information.

"'The Kirijo Group'?" Sidney asked into the phone. As soon as he had finished reading
the e-mail, he had called Caduceus Japan to find out every detail about this odd bargain.
He heard Kazuo sigh on the other line, "The Kirijo Group is a big cooperation over here
in Japan. I'm surprised you haven't heard of them Kasal especially since 11 years ago,
the CEO died of a mysterious illness."

"Actually, I remember hearing about that. I thought the group had been taken over after
that," Sidney replied.

"Oh no, the cooperation is still run by the Kirijo Family. In fact, for this case I sent you
the e-mail about, they have a small deal,"
Kazuo replied. Sidney nodded, "Yes, I'm
listening."

oOoOoOo

"Dr. Stiles," Angie said, stepping into the on-call room. She crept over to the bunk beds
after no response, staring at her sleeping surgeon. At her voice, he had rolled over,
turning his back towards her and slept on. She scowled at his back, unamused by his deep
sleeping state. Angie sighed, but then started smiling evilly, "Dr. Stiles, if you don't wake
up soon, you'll have double paper work later."

Copper eyes snapped open and the world-renowned surgeon shot up, hitting his head on
the low bunk bed. "Ow! What!? I'm awake!" he yelped, rubbing his head, wincing. The
pain subsided and he looked at Angie, "Oh... Angie... Good Morning!" "Dr. Stiles..."
Angie said, shaking her head, "It's almost 3:30 pm." "... Really?" he asked, surprised and
looked at the clock. Sure enough, the long needle was almost at six.

"The reason I came here was because Sidney wants to see us in his office, but your
headset was turned off... again," Angie explained while Dr. Stiles rose, stretching for a
second and straightening his crinkled scrubs. He stood full height when he finished and
nodded, "Alright. Let's go see what Sidney has to say then."

Together, they walked out of the on-call room and entered the bustling hallway, walking
pass fellow doctors and nurses, other surgeons like Chase and Dr. Clarks, and, to both
their amazement, Victor who disappeared a few seconds later anyway, going back down
to his lab while they headed up to Sidney's office.

Sidney looked up as they walked in.

"Dr. Stiles... have you been getting enough sleep? I called you here 15 minutes ago..." he
said coolly. Dr. Stiles scratched his head, "Sorry Sidney. I used the Healing Touch in the
last operation so I was kinda worn out." "..." Sidney sighed and looked at Angie, "And
you didn't tell me this because?"

She remained silent.

"Well, never mind about that," Sidney said, brushing the topic aside, "I have a job for
you two. You are to go to Caduceus Japan and help them deal with a strange case of
GUILT." "How strange are we talking?" Dr. Stiles asked. Sidney pushed his glasses up
slightly, "Apparently, it's something we have never dealt with. The patient has lost
mobility in both arms and legs." "A severe case of paralysis... that is strange..." Angie
muttered.

Sidney nodded, "That makes it even worse. The patient has lost all ability to feel the
source of pain the GUILT is causing. We have a deal as well if you can treat the patient."

Angie and Dr. Stiles exchanged confused looks before Sidney continued, "Apparently,
the Kirijo Group has decided if we can treat the patient, they're willing to give us some
funding for our recent research on the GUILT vaccine. It's your choice Stiles... do you
want the job or not?" "You don't even have to ask Sidney. There is no choice to saving
someone's life," he replied. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Angie smiling at him. He
looked at Sidney again, "I would like to speak with Mr. Kirijo though."

"Ah... Mr. Kirijo died a few years ago," Sidney replied, typing something into his
computer. Paper after paper started coming out of the printer.

"What?" Dr. Stiles looked alarmed.

"Yes, it was reported as a mysterious illness but there are many speculations about that,"
Sidney explained, straightening all the papers from the printer and placing them in a file,
"His only daughter is the CEO now. Here you go. All the paperwork and the patient's
information. Make sure you read it during your 15 hour flight."

Dr. Stiles groaned at the thought of 15 hours on a plane across seas. Sidney ignored him,
shifting his glasses again, "Your flight leaves tonight at 6:45. Don't be late. That will be
all..."

Dr. Stiles and Angie nodded and walked out of the office. Angie was already looking
through the folder as they went back to the on-call room. The file made a sharp snap as
she closed it, her celadon eyes looking at him, "Well... let's get ready. We only have 3
hours."

oOoOoOo
