Chapter 10 Resignation

~ Part 2 ~

Lelouch had just come back from his lunch break having talked with Kallen.

The information he'd gathered had been very useful indeed. He'd asked a nurse which room was Suzaku's...normally he'd have a nurse with him and conduct an interview in his office but he'd already in enough trouble with Lloyd at the moment. He couldn't afford for anyone knowing what he had planned. Lelouch knew Schneizel was watching...he was barely into his second week and already he was being singled out.

"I have to do this, it's the only thing I have to go on..." he told himself and shook his head.

Lelouch opened the door to Suzaku's room his grip on the door knob hesitant even if his worry didn't show on his face...he needed to know what was going on in this hospital, something just wasn't right here.

Suzaku also worried him, he suspected there was definitely abuse of some sort going on. Lelouch hated it when someone was picked on because they were smaller or weaker for whatever reason...people who did that were the weak one's in his eyes.

At first he'd believed the room to be empty and thought that maybe Suzaku had gone to dinner but as he was about to leave, out of the corner of his eye he spotted the hand that stuck out from behind the end of the bed.

"No...no..." Lelouch gasped as he ran over to the semi-conscious Suzaku who lay in a shallow pool of blood "Come on Suzaku!" he ordered him as he tried to put pressure on the wound to Suzaku's wrist and tried to keep what little blood that remained in the younger man's body from leaking out "You've have to Live!"he cried out to him as the brunette slipped into unconsciousness.

he raised his gashed arm up in the air to make the blood in his arm to go back towards his heart.

Lelouch checked Suzaku's pulse, it was slow and erratic and he wasn't breathing at all now "CODE BLUE!" he yelled out as he laid him on his back starting CPR. A nurse and an orderly came running in with trolley half a minute later just as he got Suzaku's lungs to work again.

"He's lost a lot of blood" he barked at them "Pulse slow, suffered respiratory arrest, breathing stable but shallow"

&&&

Suzaku woke up...now that was not meant to happen...

He tried to blink but his eyes felt like they were weighed down with bricks. He could feel the cotton sheets under his fingers and rush of air from the nasal cannula at the back of his throat.

His body felt like lead...just how long had he been out?

Suzaku wanted to yell...scream...that damn Geass...if it wasn't for that he would have escaped this damn prison! His memories from just before he blacked out started to come back to him quickly.

Finally he opened his green eyes and surveyed his limited view of the room.

How dare that bastard try to fool him! It was him all along! Killing his own sister...what kind of monster is he? Was there really someone who could be worse than himself?

He felt around the bed without moving, not that he could at the moment, and noticed that he wasn't restrained in anyway.

What morons!

Suzaku tried to move each of his muscles one by one to test their strength and slowly the blood supply started to go back to normal in his lower extremities.

He needed a plan...for once in his life, he thought as he spotted something that had been placed on top of the bed side cabinet...heh! That fucker won't know what the hell hit him!

&&&

It had been a week and so far Suzaku was still in a coma.

Lelouch was worried...what if there was brain damage from the hypoxia. He couldn't help but to start to feel something akin to sympathy for his patient.

He had brought Lloyd with him to assess if Suzaku should be moved back to their ward or left in Recovery.

They turned the corner towards his room, Lloyd's overly polished shoes squeaking with every step on the black linoleum.

Lloyd closed the door behind him as they stepped inside Suzaku's room...that's when they heard the metallic click.

&&&

Suzaku waited until the two doctors had shut the door behind them before he relieved his position.

"You thought you could fool me, hey Lelouch?" he accused, pointing the gun in his hand at the doctor's head, a paranoid gleam in his eyes as they darted warily over them.

"Just calm down! ok...please just put the gun down" Lelouch asked his hand slowly reaching for what looked like his coat pocket.

BAM!

"AHHHHHH!" Lloyd screamed out in pain and fell to the floor, blood gushed from his right shoulder soaking into his white coat and shirt.

"One more move like that and it'll be the neck instead" Suzaku warned them, the barrel of the gun shook a little as his right hand twitched slightly.

"Okay okay I don't have anything" he said and held his hands up showing them to be empty "Now please let leave he needs help"

Let the prick die that bastard enabler...

No he isn't involved...this is between you and Zero...

"He can leave but you're fucking staying right here bastard!" he ordered Lelouch angrily.

"I'm not going anywhere..." Lelouch replied keeping his hands raised "Lloyd can you move?" he asked softly.

"...sure...just bleeding a bit...extreme pain...nothing to worry about" his boss answered him sarcastically "Really who's ever heard of dying from a gunshot wound?" he slowly crawled outside leaving a trail of blood behind him.

Kill him...

One voice whispered.

He's not Zero...Suzaku...leave him alone...

He heard Euphie's voice whispered cry loudly even over the cacophony of thundering voices screaming out in his head.

"No...he had the Geass...I was sure...his eyes, there the same as Zero's...I don't understand what you want me to do!" he yelled covering his ears with his hands, the grip of the gun handle pressed hard against his ear "I don't understand! You said he was the one!"

"Suzaku! Put it down" Lelouch tried to tell him, he knew there was only two options that could happen in this sort of situation and neither of them were pretty. Slowly he started to step forward without being noticed.

Suzaku pushed the mussel against the back of his head. He was confused with all the conflicting orders he was receiving, his head felt like he was being cracked open with a rusty axe.

Suzaku pulled hard on the trigger and time slowed down for what felt like a second before the crack echoed around the room.

"No!" someone let out a panicked scream, Lelouch didn't know if it was him or one of the staff that had come running upon having heard the shot ring out through the air either he ran over...he wasn't going to let all the hard work he'd done go to waste.
