Chapter 5: Surprise!!

            Bobby was running flat out to the van. Cursing himself up and down for leaving

Darien so close to the point with no kind of help. //Alex Oh-god.// He came into view

of the van and speed up. There was Alex laying on the ground by the van, with the

engine on fire. He ran the short distance and grabbed her. Blood and dirt mixed on her

face and on her shirt. He began to pull her away when he was struck behind. He flipped

over Alex opening his eyes to see the red ones of his partners. His hand flew up and

struck Darien on the temple. He winced. He hated to hurt him. Darien cried out in pain

and wheeled backwards. Bobby jumped to his feet and moved forward pulling the

counteragent out of his pocket. He walked to his friend and placed the needle in and

pushed. Darien fell almost as if his strings had been cut.

            Bobby walked back to Alex and dragged her out of harms way then went back

to the know moving form of Darien.

            "Man I'm sorry." He said as Bobby pulled him up.

            "Nothing to be sorry about it's not your fault." The two moved over to Alex.

Bobby took out his phone and dialed the Keep.

            "Claire, it's Bobby.... Yes, Darien's fine...But Alex needs some help...okay umm

can you some get us...well the van...it's kinda of." at that point the fuel caught fire and

part of the van blew. "Just blew up." Darien scratched his chin and looked at him as he

hung up.

            "Look at it this way. Know you can put in for a new vehicle." They both laughed

as the van burned away.

                                                                        ~*~

            Claire flew down the street. //He is fine, He's not hurt. Alex is I've got to

hurry.// When she arrived at the area it was busy with work. She flew out of her car

flashing her badge she ran to were Darien, Bobby, and Alex were in the back of a

ambulance.

            "Why aren't you guys at the hospital?" Darien looked up.

            "They were waiting for you Doc, Alex didn't want another doctor." Claire

looked over at Alex. Bobby was sitting by her holding her hand. Claire cocked her

head.

            "They have been like that since he moved us."

            "Maybe you were wrong, maybe something is going on."

            Darien looked at her and raised his eyebrow. "No fishing off company pier.

Remember." He asked.

            "People change Darien..." She moved to the two. "You have..."

            "Hey what do you mean by that."

            "Nothing." She smiled at Bobby and Alex. "Hey," She spoke just above a

whisper. "How is she doing?"

            "She isn't getting any worse."

            "Well that's good." Claire said picking up a sheet with her vitals one it. Bobby

looked Claire in the eye.

            "But she isn't getting any better either." There were tears staining his cheeks.

"Excuse me." He said getting up he left and closed one door. Claire nodded to Darien

and threw him her keys.

            "I'll take her back to the Keep once she's stable. Call me on the Cell and check

out if anything changes." He smiled and nodded and quickly exited the back closing the

other door and she heard him pound on the back. The ambulance started up and pulled out

with Claire quickly checking Alex over for anything the others might have missed.

                                                ~*~*~~*~*~*~*~

            Darien followed Bobby as he weaved there the crowed. "BOBBY, STOP

WAIT UP!!!" Darien yelled as he followed him. Bobby glanced back and picked up

speed. Darien broke into a full out run behind him. "BOBBY!!!" People were now

moving out of the way and Darien saw Bobby turn a corner. Fawkes poured on the

speed and hurried to catch him. As he turned around the corner he felt a fist slam into

his stomach and he tripped and fell. He threw his hands over his head.

            "I surrender." He coughed and looked up at the angry face of Bobby. "Bobby

what the Hell! What was that for." Bobby glared at him.

            "What do you think it is for?" Darien pushed himself up and faced Bobby.

            "I said I was sorry."

            "But that doesn't make it all better Darien. She in the hospital BECAUSE of

YOU!" He took a swing at Darien. He ducked and spun around.

            "Bobby, I'm sorry you know that if I could I would take it all back."

            "Darien you don't get it...I'm In Love with her. And n-" Bobby stopped and sank

to the ground. "And now she's in trouble and I can't do anything." A tear ran down his

cheek. "Darien I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." He bent down and began crying again. Darien

squatted beside him.

            "Bobby, it's okay. Trust me God it's okay." He reached over and patted him on

the back. "Come on let's get back to work and then later after that we can go and check

up on Alex." Bobby picked up his head.

            "Okay." He wiped his check. "Were do we go next?'

            "How about a quick stop at the Keep for a quick fix then some lunch."

            Bobby smiled. "Sounds good to me."

            "Darien lend him to Claire's car. "So how long have you and Alex been a

Thing?" He asked as he looked over at him. Bobby smiled.

            "How long with you and Claire." Darien's head snapped.

            "How did you know?"

            "I didn't for sure until right now." Darien laughed.

            "What can I say?" Darien smiled and started the car. Then looked at Bobby.

"What happen to the not fishing of the company pier?"

            Bobby looked over at him. "I heard people could changed." Darien laughed and

Shifted into drive.

            "You still haven't answered my question."

                                                ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

            Alex was surprised by how bright the light was when she first opened her eyes.

"Claire?" She asked. The light dimmed and Claire's face filled the void.

            "Hey, are you feeling better?"

            "Yeah, a bit. Sore in some places but all together." She smiled at her. "Are Bobby and Darien okay?"

            Claire smiled. "When they last checked in they were yes." Alex nodded as much as she could while lying down.

            "Good. I was worried."

            "Ummm, So was Bobby." Alex perked up.

            "What do ya mean?"

            "I mean that Bobby was so worried about you that he has called every half an hour on the dot."

            "Really!?!" Alex was amazed.

            "Yeah, he's been driving both me and Darien up the wall." Claire gigged

            "I imagine he has."

            "But then again when you have feeling like he does for you I would been checking that often probably more so." Alex blushed, Claire tried to think of any other time that she had seen Alex blush and couldn't think of one. "Why Ms.Monrone you seen to be blushing."

            "It's warm in here. That's all."

            "I bet. Well I'm going to go out for a bit Darien and me are going for a cup of coffee. And Bobby will be here to see you in a few minutes. I should be back in 15 to 20 minutes." Claire said as she left the Keep. As she walked out of the door. Bobby walked in. As soon as the door slide shut. Bobby rushed over to her, and hugged her and likewise back.

            "I was so sacred that I had lost you." Bobby said as he kissed her forehead. She rested her head against her chest.

            "Just come sit with me for a while." She shifted so he could lie behind her. He kissed the top of her head.

            "Just rest, we can talk later." Alex relaxed back against him and drifted to sleep and bobby quickly followed.

                                                            ~*~*~*~*~*~

            Cassandra walked into her apartment and threw her bag on the floor. "Stupid punk asking for more money." She flicked on the TV and the news came on. Weather. "Sunny and clear things never change in this dull town." She said to no one. She picked up her laptop and jacked it into the wall. She clicked open the internet and opened her e-mail there were a few contacts who had a job if she was interested, she e-mailed them back and told them to send the details. She logged off and  picked up the information she had got from Darien's work. She began scanning over it.

            "OH-MY-GOD I don't believe this."
