A/N: Hello! I love you guys! Like seriously, you're awesome. All of you. *Throws money at you* Hahaha, now you're not broke anymore... but I am. *sigh* I give up. Byebye!


Ghost glanced at the door for the millionth time. It had been an hour and a half, and Roach still wasn't back yet. He was really worried. He sighed and stood up, heading for the door.

"I'm gonna go find him." He said over his shoulder, not bothering to wait for a response.

The first place he thought to go was John's room. He cringed when he heard a shrill scream come from the room. That confirmed it, Roach was in there. He sprinted to the door and turned the handle, only to find that it was locked. Damn it. He dug around in his pockets and found a spare key that he had kept just in case. He quickly unlocked the door and his heart stopped at the sight that awaited him.

Roach was unconscious on the floor, a small pool of blood by his leg. He jumped as John screamed again. Nothing was happening to him, so he wondered what he was screaming about... but he didn't really care to ask.

"Shut up." He spat, giving him a harsh slap to the face.

He knelt down beside Roach and put a hand on his neck, feeling for a pulse. He was extremely relieved when he felt one. From the looks of it, he had only torn his stitches. He lifted his pant leg and the sight confirmed his suspicions. Blood oozed out of the wound and he sighed. He knew Roach shouldn't have been running with stitches in his leg. He picked him up and something clinked on the floor.

He looked down and saw that it was a syringe... with frighteningly familiar red residue in it. His mind leapt to when they were captured and Dan 'experimented' on him. He wondered how Roach had gotten any of the poison...He shook his head, filing the thoughts away for later. He needed to fix Roach's leg right now. He left the room and shut the door, nearly running into Luke as he did so.

"Shit! He tore his stitches, didn't he?" Luke asked with a frustrated sigh.

"Yeah, blood is all over the floor in there."

"Give him here, I'll stitch him up."

He reluctantly handed Roach to Luke. He would stitch his leg up himself, but he knew that Luke would do a better job since he had more medical experience. He followed him to the infirmary and sat with Roach on a hospital bed while Luke got things ready. He slid an IV needle into Roach's arm to give him fluids. Part of the reason he had passed out was because he was dehydrated since he hadn't eaten or drank much lately. He was almost ready when Roach started waking up. He muttered a curse and got a syringe, filling it with a yellowish liquid. He passed it to Ghost and sat back down.

"Here, give him this."

He nodded and injected the sedative into the IV line. Roach yawned and nuzzled his face into Ghost's arm, making him smile. He was adorable. Then he went back to sleep. Ghost sat and boredly played with his hair while Luke re-stitched his leg. It didn't take that long, since Roach sat still and he didn't need that many stitches. Only 14, which wasn't a lot with Roach. Luke cleaned it again and wrapped it in clean bandages, then started putting away his supplies.

"Okay, I'm done. He can go to the rec room, but make sure you keep the IV with him and be careful not to rip it out. Basically, don't let him rip it out when he wakes up." He laughed.

Ghost smiled at him and carefully picked his boyfriend up. Luke rolled the IV pole along beside him as he walked. When they reached the rec room everyone looked up.

"Woah, what's up with Roach?" Kick asked.

"I think he's dead." Logan said with a smirk.

"Nope, he's not dead yet." Luke grinned.

"What do you mean not yet?"

"He will be when he wakes up, because that little bitch tore his stitches!"

"When does he not tear his stitches?" Hesh asked sarcastically.

"What's with the IV?" Archer asked, pointing to it.

"He's dehydrated. That's partly why he passed out. The other part was blood loss."

"He didn't pass out in John's room... did he?" This time it was Toad.

"He did. And he injected John with poison. He's still in there screaming." Ghost explained, setting Roach down on the couch.

He sat down and pulled him into his lap. Toad really really wanted to take a picture... they looked so cute together.

"What kind of poison?" Keegan asked curiously.

"The one Dan made. I have no idea how he got it!"

"How would you know if Dan made it?"

"Cause he tested it out on me. It was when we got captured a few months ago."

"Oh... damn."

"Yeah... being a lab rat isn't fun..."

There was silence for a moment, then Soap sighed.

"This is boring, I wish Roach would wake up."

"He won't, not for about five more hours." Luke put in.

"Ugh, that's awful! Why would you ever do that?!" Logan asked.

"Because I had to stitch his leg up! It's too much work to do it without sedating him!"

"Well couldn't you have tied him to something instead of knocking him out for six hours?"

"No! He would've been grumpy when we were done anyways."

"That doesn't make this any less boring."

"Neither does arguing with me over something I already did." Luke retorted.

"Yes it does. It's fun."

"Then find something else fun to do."

Hesh laughed at the face his brother made and pulled him into his lap.

"What do you want to do?"

"I wanna go shoot something."

Hesh sighed and stood up.

"Fine, let's go."

"I'm coming too!" Toad and Archer cried, running after them.

Merrick calmly stood and silently followed them.

"Good Lord, everyone abandoned us." Ghost pouted.

"I didn't leave you!" Kick said, jumping up and hugging him.

"Yay, what would I ever do without you?" He asked flatly.

Luke giggled and fell over.

"Crash and burn." Kick replied unflinchingly.

"You're hopeless, you know that right?"

He nodded vehemently.

"Yup, I know."


A/N: Ewww, this was boring. *British accent* I apologize for my incompetence. I don't know what that word means, but I don't care. *smiles* Hehehe... if you want an exciting chapter 13, I suggest you review! Love you guys! ;)
