All those arrows you through,

You through them away,

You kept falling for us,

And then one day…

It's kinda strange how in one minute things could be going great and the next not so great. It's a strange mixture of feelings and possible outcomes for situations. Nothing is set in stone but there's a single moment when you know something is about to go terribly wrong and there's nothing you can do to stop it. A single second seems to stretch into eternity and yet everything happened so fast it makes your head spin.

When you fell you fell towards me,

When you crashed from the clouds you scared me….

At least that's the way Raff looks at it. Because most of the day was going great, better than all the days of the past few weeks put together and yet in a single moment, that single moment, that great day didn't look so great, nothing looked so great. Because the thing about looking at your best friend bleeding on the hard floor covered by twisted metal is… it's not great. In fact, there are no redeeming qualities about it whatsoever. When Miko took the lead down to Jack and couldn't even get close enough to touch him because of all the rubble and twisted metal, when the abandoned amusement park's security finally caught up to the scene only to find two distressed children pleading for their help as the third still laid trapped and finally when the sound of the ambulance in the distance was heard all Raff could really do was make sure that he stood out of the way as Miko directed the growing crowd of people to Jack. Raff wished he could be more like the two other kids. Brave like Miko and intelligent like Jack. Not saying that he wasn't intelligent, he prided himself on being very intelligent but his smarts and Jack's, though the same in many ways, spilt off in different directions. For example, Jacks intelligence told him not to go up the rusted and decrepit metal stairs but…

'but my brilliant intelligence told me to go right ahead' Raff though to himself bitterly. The night came quickly but the area surrounding Jack was lit by the blues and reds of multiple ambulances and the fire trucks. A few police also arrived to monitor the progress. No one had bothered Raff yet as he was standing safely to the side. Though out of the mix, Raff monitored the progress like a hawk. Unfortunately, his view of Jack became limited because of the growing number of men and vehicles surround the mess so Raff choose to watch Miko.

Please don't go

I want you so,

I can't let go

For I lose control.

When Miko first saw Jack after he fell she instantly knew the situation had become critical. She prepared herself for a long night. Some one needed to step up and handle the situation. So when the cavalry of medical professionals stormed the area not five minutes after she and Raff made contact with the security guard Miko handled it. Swallowing her fear and desperation she guided the swarms of man and woman to her friend. She explained the events and the fall and all the details in between. When questions were asked she answered swiftly and to the point. If tears were falling from her eyes while she took charge they were ignored. Soon came the point when she had nothing left to give to the men and woman fighting for her friend and though that filled her with a sense of uselessness she understood. With one last shoulder pat from one of the cops she wandered out of the busy crowd and made her way to Raff. The farther she walked from the the epicenter the dark her surrounding became. Raff didn't say anything as Miko came right up beside him. Both faced the jungle of lights and noise before them in silence. No one said anything for a few seconds. Only a few sniffles softly escaped their grasps. Raff grew tired of the silence. He took a shaky breath to speak but before the words left him Miko spoke up.

Her raw shaky voice barely came out "They…. uhhhhhh… 'her voice broke'…uhh… they ne…need to uhhhh c-cut the metal from around J—Jaa….. um..him." She took a deep breath to keep herself from completely falling apart. "Bu-t they're 'Sniff' they're having problems with fi-figuring out what beam punctured him and they need to know … so they don't touch it." Raff once again tried to speak but Miko cut him again this time her voice was a bit more hysterical as he struggles to push the words out. "But here's the thing, Right, in order to cut Jack out they need to get the beam out of him but they can't get to him because of all the beams but they can't move the beam because of Jack and they…. they don't know what to do so they're just going to have to cut very carefully. But of course carefully means slowly and Jacks bl…bleeding out a..an…and…." Miko couldn't continue through her sobs. In the distance sparks flew from where firemen were cutting parts of the beam pile away. The horrible noise of metal against metal filled the air. Raff covered his ears as he planted his face in Miko's side. Miko turned to hug Raff in return.

Gets these left handed lovers out of your way,

They look hopeful for you,

But you cannot stay,

If you want me to break down and admit,

I can do that but I can't let you leave.

And so it goes, spark flew and children cried while one was left in the fray to die.

But hey, that's the story, right?…or at least reality. Does it matter? Story or not a child lays dying. And what of the mother of that boy? Where is she worrying? Do not mistaken her miss presents at the scene of her dying boy for neglect. She is where she is and right now where she is, is not where she wants to be. But where she wants to be is not something she wants to see. No matter her medical profession, no matter her experience with previous disasters. When the hurt hits home the game changes so when Miko and Raff heard the sound of a ground bridge opening in the distance and when the single mother of their friend ran to the scene of the crime and could to nothing but cry, they where not surprised. And she yelled and she wailed. Her demands for the safety of her son bounced over the horrible sound of the metal cutting metal and occupied the ears of everyone around.

'the sound of the metal almost sounds better' Miko though. Another retched shout came from June, 'this…..this is just too sad." Miko finished her thought.

June couldn't do anything and soon enough that became apparent to her as it did to Miko not long before. But she chose to stay as close to her son as possible leaving Miko and Raff alone, thought it was not clear if she saw them in the first place or not. Miko lost sight of her but every once in a while a cry could be heard over the crowd and Miko didn't need some one to tell her who it was.

"Do you think Jacks going to be all right?" Raff mumbled. Miko took a moment to think of the right answer. Saying 'he's going to be fine' was Miko's first thought but she couldn't bring herself to say it. Not when their friend was so obviously not alright. Instead she gripped her small friend a little tighter and looked down into his pleading eyes.

With sad eyes and a soft voice, she replied "…I don't know." She looked back up at the crowed

"I just don't know." By now their tears had run out and all that was left where two tired and scared children huddling together in the night's cold.

"But we have to have faith." Raff replied slowly. Miko took a moment to think about what he said.

"Ya, faith, we need to have faith." She looked up at the sky, "Please God please let him be alright" Raff put his hands together. He closed his eyes and quietly prayed. Miko followed his lead, she put her hands together closed her eyes and prayed as well. And that's all they did because that's all they could do. They prayed and hoped someone was listening.

The quiet moment disappeared by the sound of a ground bridge in the distance opening again. Miko turned to see a manless motorcycle drive up. She panicked and looking at the crowd to make sure no one saw but she realized that the crowed was far to preoccupied to notice. The motorcycle rolled up to them.

"What Happened, Where's Jack!?" Arcee shouted. Miko took a breath and pointed to the crowed.

"They're trying to get him out" She breathed. Arcee rolled a little closer clearly not happy with Miko's vague response.

"What do you mean 'out" She coldly demanded.

"Jack fell and now they're trying to get him out" Miko continued being vaguely, mostly because she was just to tired to explain Jack's situation again or maybe it was something else that Miko didn't want to go into now.

Arcee remained unsatisfied. "Fell From Where?" She pushed and rolled closer. "What's going on Miko?!" Before Miko could reply Raff jumped in.

"Quiet Arcee or you're going to get us unwanted attention! Jack fell, he's hurt, the medics are trying to get to him and that's all we and you need to know!" Arcee rolled back a few inches in surprise. She didn't say anything and the children didn't say anything to her for a long time.

Another ten minutes passed before a break through came. The sound of the metal against metal stopped and the sound of beams being moved took over. The cowed seemed to shift and before the three of them figured out what was happening they saw a gurney being carried out of the crowed. And on that gurney lied no other then Jack. Miko and Raff rushed forward to greet their friend but was quickly held back by two firemen.

"Sorry kids but there's only room for his mom and the other medics." One of them explained. "But you will be right behind them in a different ambulance."

"Ambulance?" Raff asked.

"Yes, according to Miko here, you and your friend also fell quiet a ways."

"We're fine" They both demanded.

"You don't look so fine to me." The other firemen replied. Raff and Miko didn't respond. For the passed hour they have been looked out at the problem at hand not bothering with their own person worlds but because of the firemen their attention turns inward only to discover that they weren't as all right as they once thought.

Miko leaded heavily on her right foot and raised the left one of the ground slightly. "Holy shit, there something wrong with my foot." One of the firemen quickly signaled for two gurneys to be brought over. "And…. ouch" Miko looked down at her hand and knees to find them scrapped and bloody. She looked over at Raff and found that his hands and knees where just as messed up but instead of his leg being the one with on the most issues his right wrist looked swollen.

"Holy Shit" She breathed out again. As her and Raff continued to realize their own problems they didn't notice that they had been guided to sit on gurneys until they where being told to lie down. Once they were flat on their backs their two gurneys were loaded up into the same ambulance. Once inside both felt a poke in their arms and a mask over their mouths. They both fell in and out of sleep during the ride to the hospital. All they remember seeing were flashes of light and the roof of the ambulance which after some shaking was replaced with the night sky and finally was over taken by the sight of a hospital hall's ceiling. They heard people talking to them but they were to tired to understated.

Miko was taken to one room and Raff to another so to be looked over. Later Miko will vaguely remember instant horrible pain which at the moment came from a nurse snapping her broken leg into place. In general, their injuries were nothing to be extremely worried about. All they rely needed was rest. After a couple hours the two sleeping kids were rolled into the same hospital room to rest. As for the third well… things weren't as easy.

Blood coated her son and June didn't like that at all. The ride to the hospital was long and filled with other people touching her son as she gripped one of his hands. Soon the inside of the ambulance was replaced with the inside of the hospital's surgical waiting room.

Whoever said hospitals were quiet were wrong. As a nurse June knew all the sounds that could be heard in a hospital. For starts the basic sound of people rummaging around always filled the air. Add that to the sounds of mumbled conversations, phones and pagers ringing, doors opening, doors closing, papers shuffling, nurses typing not to mention people crying and you have hospital. This place was no different. And as she waited for hours for news of her son she felled almost confected by the all to familiar notice. So often in books hospital where looked at as a bad place. Books complained about the smell of disinfectant of the overly white walls of mean nurses but these were mostly stereo types. Yes, hospitals were sterol, why the hell wouldn't the be, yes the nurses might seem rude, they probably been here for the past ten hours. Over all, hospitals were the greatest thing to exist and June would be damned if anyone was going to but them down because right now if it weren't for hospitals her son would be dead.

June was taken out of her thoughts but the sight of a coffee cup dangling in front of her. She looked up to see Agent Fowler.

"This seat taken?" He asked as he motion to the obviously open seat next to her. June shrugged and motioned for him to sit which he did.

"Arcee came back to base and explained everything. I made a few calls in order to find the hospital. Raff and Miko are all right…."

June shot up from her chair, "MIKO AND RAFF!" She shouted in panic. Fowler caught her wrist and guided her back down to sit.

"Easy June, they're all right. Beside some cuts and bruises not to mention Miko's broken foot and Raffs broken wrist they're fine." The agent tried to reassure her.

"A broken wrist and foot! How is that fine Agent Fowler?" June shot back. Fowler stumbled a little.

"Well…. I mean compared to….." Fowler cut himself off realizing that his choice of words was not the best. If June heard what he said she didn't reply. She sad and swirled the coffee in the cut.

It was going to be a long night.

Please don't go,

I want you so,

I can't let go,

For I lose control.
