Apart in the Pain

Chapter 10: Rain Song

Kailana looked out the window as Mika busily French braided her hair. Michael sat next to the hospital bed with Kisa on his lap, they whispered sweet nothings into each other's ears.

"Almost done," Mika stated with a bright smile.

Kailana just nodded as she watched beat against the window. Kai had left the hospital a two weeks ago, he visited Kailana everyday. Along with everyone else besides the last few days. She had heard more messages from him than seeing him or her brothers over the last few days.

She broke her stare as she and the others watched at Sydney pretty much jumped into the room and shut the door into the faces of photographers and news reporters.

"It's a jungle out there," she gasped. Mika smiled.

"What do you expect, one of the most popular bands lead singers is in the hospital recovering from a tragic bike accident," Michael told her.

"Thank you for reminding me," Kailana commented rolling her eyes. Everyone laughed as Michael apologized. Lana laughed and welcomed the 'outside world's miracle of fast food. She longed for something from burger king or taco bell for days on end, hospital food made her want to choke. "Thank you Sydney you're a savor."

"No problemo. I don't blame you hospital food is just as bad as the smell here," she commented making a fake puking noise. Everyone laughed with agreement.

As Lana ate she stared off again, "what's on your mind, Lana-sama?" Mika asked finishing the French braid and tying the end of it.

"Where has Kai, and my brothers been? They seemed to have deserted me in this white wash walled hell," she muttered.

Mika gave her a sisterly hug, "Don't worry about it, they'll come and visit you soon just watch. Don't forget you're possibly getting out by next week, the doctor's are amazed by how well your healing, they say you could be up on stage jumping around and singing by time tour starts in five months."

Kailana sighed, "I'm just tired of this place and playing phone tag with the three of them."

As if on cue the phone began to ring, smiling Kailana picked up. Only to have her smile fade. "Oh, hi daddy. I'm doing just fine, do you know where Kai, Tyson, and Hiro are? No? Oh ok, no nothing is wrong just wondering. Tonight? Ok, great, can't wait to see you, bye." She hung up and sank into her pillow again.

Mika gave her a reassuring smile went to eat her share of food.

Chronic Ward

Tyson shivered in his thin spring coat, as he kneeled underneath the bushes with Kai and Hiro. They watched doctors and nurses walk around the halls of the ward before them. For the past few days they have been taking stake outs here to find some kind of way of getting Voltaire arrested without getting killed themselves. Of course the three boys felt guilty for leaving Kailana alone at the hospital, but this had to be done once and for all.

He nearly cried out when a huge splash of water hit the top of his head from the tree above head. He grumbled and shivered again cursing the rain, he wished that he could be back home with Hilary or at the hospital with his sister. Or even just tell one of his parents what the three were doing, but Hiro and Kai threatened to throw him into the ocean if he ditched or told on them.

Kai sighed and shook his head glancing at Hiro.

"It's no use, we're not going to find anything out here," he said.

"I agree, let's go inside where its warm," Tyson said quickly. "I mean let's go inside and try to find something there." He smiled.

"I know, but how can we get in. Ever since I got you out Kai the security is much tighter." Hiro stated.

Kai nodded and kept his eyes glued to the doors.

"The guards break for five minutes to switch out every five hours. If we can get in that side door then we would only have to worry about avoiding the guards on the inside," Kai answered.

"Good idea," Hiro stated. "We'll do it."

"I don't care as long as we don't have to stay in the rain any longer, and we can get this over with already," Tyson complained.

Kai sent him a glare.

"Maybe we should leave you here to text one of us if something seems to be going on the outside."

Tyson looked panicked. "No, please, I beg you don't leave me out here. I'm too young to die, I have a sister and a girlfriend waiting for me. I promised Jasmine I'd be at the hospital tonight," he cried desperately. Hiro couldn't help but turn his head and muffle his laughter.

"Then stop complaining Tyson. Now, wait for my go, move quickly and quietly. Think you can handle that?" Kai questioned. Tyson nodded vigorously and Hiro nodded once. Kai looked back to the building watching closely.

"Now," he murmured and quickly ran from the bushes to the side door. He opened it with a code he remembered and then waited to make sure Tyson and Hiro were right behind him. Sure enough Hiro had to drag Tyson since he wasn't quick enough. As soon as they were all in they were careful no one saw them.

Kai ran over the building's layout in his mind. Tyson went to pass him but he pushed him back against the wall just as Tyson was about to round a corner.

"Baka! There's a camera!" He hissed.

"Sorry," he whispered sincerely. Kai sighed and shook his head. He glanced back once more.

"I'll go disable the camera, when I nod you two go on. Hiro, take the flight of stairs on the right at the end of the hall up to the next floor. Once there go down five doors, enter the number 5534 star and you will be admitted to the main computer room. It's the room that over looks the lab I was in, all important data and video surveillance footage will be stored there," Kai explained. Hiro nodded understanding the plan. The two Granger brothers awaited the signal.

Kai waited until the camera was pointing at the other side of the hall and then quickly rounded the corner doing a series of hand springs, which covered more ground quicker than just walking, he was below the camera. It was starting it's scan back over the hall when he pulled the wire that cut the connection. Kai nodded.

"Hurry! They will send someone to check on that shortly."

Hiro nodded and ran off following Kai's directions directly to the main computer room. Once in the room he made copies onto disks then deleted what was on the computers. Turning he saw that in the hall guards were coming. Acting quickly he set off the fire alarm and sprinklers, he also unlocked doors to patients rooms.

"Alright so we got the information... now what and where's Kai?" Tyson questioned.

Hiro shrugged, "I don't know, but we have to get out of here and quick." They ran out of the room, as they did they were met by some guards. Hiro acted quickly and knocked them out. Hiro went to take a step when a voice stopped him.

"You would leave your friend so quickly?" That voice...

Hiro took a deep breath and turned around, "Hello again Voltaire," he breathed.

Tyson turned and gasped, his eyes widening. Voltaire walked closer, Kai in front of him, a gun pointed at the side of his head. To his credit, Kai didn't look scared.

"Kai..." He murmured going to take a step forward but Hiro stopped him.

"There were to many," Kai explained softly.

"What do you want in exchange?" Hiro asked. Voltaire smiled.

"You would really trade the disk's that could put me away forever for my worthless grandson's life?" He questioned.

"Yes," he answered looking straight into Voltaire's eyes without fear.

"Hiro," Kai hissed. "No."

"I promised Kailana nothing would happen to you," Hiro stated taking out the disks and offering them towards Voltaire.

Kai glared at him and then acted quickly, he stepped on Voltaire's foot hard, ducking at the same time while Voltaire's grip lessened. One shot went off from where Voltaire cursed and fired out of instinct. He then aimed quickly and shot again. Hiro grabbed Tyson and threw them both to the ground.

Kai slammed his fist into Voltaire's arm causing him to drop the gun, Kai tripped him as he tried to run for it to catch it. It was he who ended up the gun pointing it at Voltaire's head.

"Looks like the tables have turned. Grandfather," he spat out the word like it was poison.

"Kai don't kill him, if you do all this will be for nothing!" Tyson yelled out, for a moment Kai could've sworn it was Kailana.

"Why shouldn't I? He's caused us all so much pain."

"Look around there are too many people here, they'll all kill you or make sure we end up in jail if you do anything," Tyson explained. Kai glanced around, there was no one in the hallway.

"What the hell are you talking about Tyson? There's no one here, I disabled the cameras before he got me, you and Hiro would be the only witnesses."

"There are guards around each corner, ready for you to act," he explained slowly. And he was right, guards were very careful here to not be seen even by Kai.

"If what you say if true then it doesn't matter if I kill him or not. We're not getting out of here," Kai replied.

"Yea, we are," Hiro replied this time, there was a sound of sirens in the distance coming closer to the building. Kai looked back down at Voltaire.

"I shouldn't let you live for what you have done. You have caused me, my friends and my family uncountable amounts of pain. You killed my parents, destroyed so many lives..." He started.

Hiro touched his shoulder, "C'mon let's go." he stated. "Lana needs you by her now." Kai glanced at him.

"If we leave before the cops get here he will get away, again." Hiro nodded, below the front door was burst open and a huge group of police and swat swarmed into the building arresting many of the personnel on they're way through the levels. Tyson stood as the cops came closer.

"Kai give me the gun," he ordered softly. Kai shook his head keeping it pointed at Voltaire. It was then that Tyson saw his shoulder was bleeding. "Kai. Give. Me. The. Gun."

Hiro took Kai's wrist and slowly took the gun from his hand and kicked it all the way down the hall. "C'mon," he said slowly leading Kai away keeping an eye on Voltaire.

Almost as soon as they had stepped away, the cops were bringing Voltaire to his feet and handcuffing him.

"I got out the last time Kai! I will do so again! And I will come after you!" He yelled.

"Save it for your court date," a detective hissed leading him away.

Once they had left the building Hiro handed over the disk's explaining everything that was on them to the cops. Tyson led Kai to the car and put him in the back. He was about to step away when Kai reached out and grabbed his wrist. Tyson looked at him in question.

"I-I almost killed him Tyson..." He murmured. He unconsciously brought his knees up to his chest.

Tyson kneeled down in front of him, "You'll be fine, he's gone now. The cops are going to have some paramedics look at you then we can get back to the house, change and go see Lana." Kai nodded, wrapping his arms around his knees, his face going into them as he waited for the paramedics.

Tyson decided to stay with Kai as the paramedics looked over him and fixed up his shoulder. After they were done they gave Tyson some directions if Kai was in too much pain and ordered for him to see a doctor as soon they got to the hospital later. Then together the three guys left the area and went back to the house.

Hiro glanced back at Kai, who still not looked up.

"We need to make him sleep when we get back," he said quietly to Tyson.

Tyson nodded in agreement, "Can we please tell dad yet?" He asked. Hiro nodded.

"I think it might be best. But not until after we've gotten Kai to sleep."

Tyson nodded and looked back Hiro, once back at the house they hurried to put Kai to bed. Then calmly came back downstairs.

"Where were you guys all morning? We've been trying to get a hold of you, Lana has called the house 5 times asking for all three of you."

"Dad, we've got something to tell you," Hiro told him. "You might want to sit down."

Kouji gave his two boys a curious look as he sat down, Jasmine stood in the kitchen doorway.

"Alright," Tyson breathed. "For the last week, the three of us haven't been around because well...we've been going to the ward for stake outs, so we could get Voltaire arrested for good." Kouji was about to get up at this, "Dad please wait for me to explain completely." and so Tyson explained everything, as he spook Jasmine joined Kouji on the couch and clutched his hand.

Once he was finished, Kouji looked at the two boys searching for some kind of evidence this was just a joke. But, the two were both serious and looking him straight in the eye. "So, how's Kai?"

"Asleep," Tyson replied, Kouji nodded.

Later that day around 5 pm

Kailana laughed along with Marlene as she tickled her underneath her chin. Jasmine smiled at the two, as she sat comfortably in the chair next to the bed. The Fallen Angels and Michael left 3 hours ago and Jasmine had just gotten there, she told Kailana that everyone was coming in soon.

"Hey sis!" Tyson exclaimed jumping onto the bed. Hiro and Kai walked in behind him, both rolling their eyes.

Kailana laughed and handed Marlene to Jasmine and pushed Tyson away before he could kiss her. "Get away you have cooties, gross!" She laughed.

Kai came over on the other side of the bed. "What about me?" He questioned.

"Well, you're different," she stated leaning up for a quick kiss. She smiled at Kai and looked into his eyes when they broke apart.

"Now I'm grossed out." Tyson made a gagging motion and got off the bed to join Hilary. Kai smiled and sat back in a chair taking Marlene as she reached out for him. Hiro came next and gave his sister a hug, but when he let go she slapped his arm.

"Ow, what was that for?" he demanded.

"Where were you three for the last week! I've been worried sick! I've must've left 1,000 messages on all your cells!" Kailana told them angrily.

"Well, I only got 15 messages," Tyson pointed out, Lana sent him a glare and he shrank behind Hilary she giggled.

"25," Kai confirmed.

Kailana groaned. "That's not the point," she complained.

"You should have been watching the news, it's been all over it. In fact, Jasmine, turn it on," Hiro told her. She nodded and turned the TV on to a news station that was covering Voltaire's arrest.

Kailana watched in awe as she listened to the reporter's words on what had happened, when the news finally switched over to the weather she looked over at Kai who was looking down she smacked his bad arm.

Kai winced but didn't say anything. Marlene tugged at his hair.

"HOW COULD YOU!" Kailana raged.

"I didn't kill him. I wanted to but Tyson stopped me," he replied quietly.

Kailana looked away and crossed her arms, Jasmine quietly took Marlene then she and Hilary left the room.

"Lana you can't be to mad. He's gone now, and he's not going to get out!" Tyson told her ignoring the unsure look on Kai's face, he sat on the edge of the bed again.

Kailana shook her head. "Who's brilliant idea was this, to almost get killed?" She demanded. The boys all looked down.

"It was combined," Hiro answered finally.

Kailana looked at him then laid down and closed her eyes. "Go away," she murmured. Tyson hung his head and got off the bed, he and Hiro left the room but Kai didn't move.

"Go away," she whispered again her back away from him, a single tear came from both of her eyes.

"I'm not leaving," he stated. Kailana swallowed trying to keep the lump in her throat down. She buried her face into her pillow.

"Talk to me Lana," Kai murmured. She shook her head in response, her shoulders shuddered from her silent sobs in the pillow. Kai sighed and slowly climbed onto the bed and wrapped his arms around her.

"Shh... it's okay. It's going to be okay."

At first she was going to push away, but then decided to just welcome his embrace.
