Day 2

4:00 AM

Station Square Hospital

Vector woke up in a hospital room. Nobody was there. He noticed something strange: where was everthing he had? His headphones? His chain? His shoes? Where have they gone?

He decided it didn't matter now. What matters most is that he's alive. What had happened anyway?

Vector tried to move, but his chest felt pain. He moved the covers and saw that he had surgery by the bandages on his torso.

"What time is it?" He whispered to himself. He looked both ways and saw a clock.

Four. Four what? It was an analog clock, so Vector had no idea if it was in the afternoon or in the morning. Vector decided not to worry and to fall asleep.

"HELP!!!""Mighty!!!"

*BOOM**BOOM*

"Let him breathe!!!"

Vector startled as he woke up. We was no longer tired. Actually, we was too stressed to sleep. He looked at the clock.

Seven. He wanted to open the window in the room, but he couldn't. Suddenly, the door opened.

"Oh," Somebody said. "Did I scare you?"

It was Vector's nurse. He sighed in relief.

"Good morning Vector. Anyway, I just wanted to keep you informed that you are going back to normal in a few days, and you may walk again whenever you have the strength to," The nurse informed.

It was seven in the morning. Vector was glad that the nurse came.

"Thank you," Vector replied softly.

"Your crocodile skin saved you from two shotgun blasts. You are very lucky to be one. Not that many patients survive shotgun wounds to the chest," The doctor added. Vector just smiled and chuckled nervously.

As the nurse left, Vector just layed there waiting for something else to happen. He just wanted to go home, know Mighty's condition, and see Espio and Charmy again.

Day 2

12:00 PM

Station Square Hospital

The door opened as Vector was trying to nap again. Tired, he opened his eyes to see sho it was.

"Vector?" Charmy's voice called. His eyes opened all the way and he saw Espio and Charmy.

"Charmy?" Vector replied.

They both looked at each other for a long time, and after a while, Charmy flew into Vector's arms. Charmy hugged his friend. Vector was rather suprised, but he hugged Charmy back.

"I'm so sorry this happened to you," Charmy apologized once more. "I really, really should've listened to you." Vector opened his eyes to see Espio next to the door. They both smiled at each other.

"Charmy, please don't worry about it," Vector comforted. "None of this was your fault. I'm alright and that's all that matters."

"Indeed it wasn't," Espio added. Charmy backed off and Vector lifted his torso up to hear the story. Once Espio had explained everything, Vector just growled at the thought of it.

"Cowards. That's all they are and that's all they will ever be," Vector said. "Is Mighty alright?" He asked. Espio nodded and explained that they had talked to him which made them solve the case.

"Let me tell y'all somethin'," Vector said. "Y'all solved that case without the help of me. I am very proud of you two." Charmy and Espio smiled. "Thank you," Espio and Charmy said at the same time.

Vector got back down on the bed. "Don't worry about me. I'll be out of this place in a few days," He said.

"Alright," Espio replied. "We'll see you then." Before Charmy and Espio walked out, Espio stopped to look behind him. Once again, Vector and Espio smiled at each other as their goodbye for the day. Then, Espio closed the door.

Vector smiled as he went back to resting. He planned a ton of things to do when he gets back home.
