Rikki Singh-Bains paced nervously around the living area of big air. He listened to the sound of the rain hitting the steel roof. Rain usually comforted Rikki, but in this case it just made him more nervous. He turned to Grinder.

"They should have been back by now"

Grinder slowly nodded.

"Yea, Don't worry Rik, Alex knows what he's doing."

"Alex does, but Fidget?"

When Grinder didn't offer a comforting response, Rikki let out a cry of frustration and slumped down in a chair. The truth was Fidget had been know to put herself in danger more than anybody else on the team, and that worried Rikki greatly.

"Well, Rikki, I'm sure they'll be back any second"

The dynamic duo had flown out the door at 10 o'clock, in pursuit of Asazi. Rikki gazed down at his watch, 12:22.

"It's been two hours, I'm gonna call the police"

"Really? What would that do?"

"If something happened to them, and we hadn't done anything…..I couldn't live with the guilt"

He picked up the phone just as the door swung open. At flash of lighting reveled the silhouette of a tall built man. It was like something out of a bad horror movie, Rikki and Grinder rose, preparing for the worst.

"Call an ambulance"

Alex Mann stepped out of the harsh elements and into the comforts of the plane. Rikki sighed a sigh of relief that quickly turned to fear as he saw Fidget, curled up in Alex's arms.

"Call an ambulance, NOW!"

Grinder snatched the phone from Rikki's shaking hands and dialed 911. Alex moved towards the table, legs wobbling every step of the way. His face was hard and emotionless, but his eyes were filled with fury.

"Clear the table"

Rikki franticly did as he was told. He shoved papers, phone numbers, contract info, useless junk the seemed so important, on to the floor. Alex slowly peeled Fidget's wet body away from his, reveling a horrible blood stain on both of their shirts. Blood seeped from a quarter size wound, right under Fidgets heart. Rikki started in disbelief.

"Is she—"

"No, get a towel" 

He sprinted to the bathroom and returned with The Action Man Towel.

How stupid He thought as he watched blood cover the logo. He suddenly felt very sick. The scent of blood was nauseating. Everything blurred together, Alex, Grinder, Fidget, blood, the sound of the approaching sirens. It all swirled around him. Rikki felt himself falling backwards, then, all he could see was the ceiling.

[Hospital], Rikki looked down at the white porcelain bowl once again. Grinder looked away as Rikki emptied the entire contents of his body into the toilet. Rikki moaned and flushed. He looked at his watch, 2:38. Fidget was still in the O.R., it had been an hour and a half since they got to the hospital. Rikki had never been in a hospital before and he had no idea if and hour and a half was a long time to be in the O.R.. He'd basically been vomiting for the past hour. He couldn't get the thought of all that blood out of his head. It amazed him that so much could come out of someone so small. "Okay?" "Yeah, I'm good" Rikki stood up, but instantly feel back to his knees and continued regurgitating. Alex sat alone in the hall, not moving, his head in his hands. "Mr. Mann?" Alex looked up at the man standing in front of him. "Yeah, that's me" "Hello, I'm Doctor Kingsley" The man extended his hand. "Hi" Alex shook Dr. Kinsley's hand. The doctor looked like he was in his mid 30's, brown hair, about as tall as Rikki. "All right, Mr. Mann, Ms.—" The doctor looked down at his clipboard. "—Wilson, umm, well, she's just lost too much blood." "Wh-what are you saying?" "If we had got top her sooner, then maybe. But there's nothing we can do for her now. We've set up a room, she's there now" "Are you sure? This has to be some kind of mistake, right?" The doctor looked down at his feet.
"I'm sorry. It's room 237" He walked away just as Rikki and Grinder emerged from the bathroom. [Room 237] Alex stared blankly out the window, how could this be happening? Rikki sat in a chair, balled up, sobbing, rocking himself back and forth. Grinder just sat there, next to Rikki, as if he hadn't heard what Alex just told him. It isn't fair, Fidget shouldn't be here. I should be the one in the bed. Alex looked her over, she was so pale, like a doll. As much as he did'nt want to accept it, he knew she wouldn't survive, he had seen all the blood come out of her. He had seen the arrow go right though her, when it should have been him. He was going to kill Asazi for this. The mechanical beep got slower and slower. He wanted to talk to her, to tell her to stay with him, but he couldn't find the words. Beep……….beep……….beep. "Oh God!" Rikki wailed and flung himself to Fidget. He slammed his hand into the 'call' button. "Please don't die Fidget. Please. You can't die. Please stay here" Beep………………Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

A nurse opened the door.

"Yes?"

"SAVE HER!"

The nurse darted into the hall and returned with a doctor.

"Oh, shit"

Rikki's vision blurred again. Everything was disconnected. Forgotten. Then he heard it—

"Time of death; 3:00 AM"
