Fire was waiting for Crystal. He was getting worried. With his is Teagan who has Oscar on top of her head, Aleena and Fiona. Fiona was getting restless. She was scared, that much he can tell. Crystal then walks over and sighs.
"Scourge is stable, but he is in a critical condition." Crystal tells them.
"But he will be okay, right?" Fiona asks.
"It is too soon to say." Crystal replies.
Fiona sighs.
"We will be keeping a close eye on him for the next 48 hours, watching his condition closely." Crystal explains.
"Can I see him?" Fiona asks.
"We are working on getting him a room. I got the room across from Sonette's. With his condition it is a private room." Crystal explains.
"Okay." Fiona whispers as Athena walks over.
"Scourge is in his room." Athena tells Crystal who nods.
"Thank you." Crystal says.
Athena walks off.
"This way." Crystal says.
They head off. They walk into Scourge's room to see Sonette standing next to him.
"Sonette!" Teagan shouts.
Sonette shakes her head. They then saw Sonic in the corner.
"This isn't fair." Sonette cries.
Fiona walks over and stands next to Sonette.
"Promise me you won't overdo it." Crystal pleads, knowing it is pointless fighting her.
"I promise Crystal." Sonette whispers.
"I better go." Crystal says walking off.
"Sonette, you should sit down." Fiona says, moving the chair.
Sonette sits down.
"How are you Fiona?" Sonette asks worried.
"I'm fine." Fiona replies. "What about you, you shouldn't be moving at all?" Fiona asks.
"I'm fine, Sonic helped me." Sonette replies.
"She would have come without my help, so I thought it would be better if I helped." Sonic explains.
"I'll be back." Fire says, walking out.
Sonette sighs.
"I don't understand." Fiona whispers.
"I don't think any of us do." Teagan says.
"Don't worry, Scourge will pull through." Sonette tells then.

Crystal was working on paper work when Fire walks over. Crystal looks at him worried.
"Can I talk to you?" Fire asks.
"Of course." Crystal says.
The pair walks off. They found a spot alone and Fire sighs.
"What can you tell me about Scourge's condition?" Fire asks.
"He lost a lot of blood, he has some serious internal damage, one bullet hit is left lung and just missed his heart. He is lucky to be alive and recovery is going to be slow, really slow." Crystal explains.
Fire sighs.
"First Blueberry and now him, this can't go unanswered." Fire says.
"Well save it for another time, I had police here demanding to see Scourge. I manage to get them to leave, saying Scourge is unconscious and in no state to talk to them. They will back though." Crystal explains and Fire sighs. "I know this is a lot to take in, but you have to be careful. Scourge and Sonette don't need you in here as well." Crystal tells him.
Fire looks at her, then sighs.
"I know." Fire whispers.
"I have to get a few more thing for Scourge, then I'm on a break." Crystal tells him.
"Got it." Fire says. "Talk to you later." Fire says walking off.
He quickly buys a coffee and heads back to Scourge's room.
"Fire." Sonette says.
Fire walks to Aleena and Teagan who was by the bed.
"Hey." Fire whispers.
"Where did you go?" Teagan asks.
"I went to see Crystal." Fire replies.
"About what?" Sonette asks.
"Scourge, he is lucky to be alive." Fire replies.
Fiona sighs.
"I see." Sonette whispers.
"One bullet just missed his heart but hit his left lung." Fire tells them.
"Scourge." Fiona cries. "I told you to run, why didn't you listen." Fiona whispers.
"Fiona." Sonette says worried.
Sonic sighs.
"Scourge is stubborn, never knows when to walk away." Sonic says.
Sonette sighs.
"You're right there." Fire says.
"Yeah." Sonette whispers.
Then Crystal walks in and hooks a few more things up. Sonette looks at Scourge, he was wearing an air mask.
"Crystal." Sonette whispers.
"Yes Sonette." Crystal says.
"Will Scourge make it?" Sonette asks.
"I can't say, he isn't out of the woods yet, but the worst is over. We will do everything we can." Crystal tells her.
Sonette nods. Fire walks out and Teagan looks back, worried.
"Fire seems, odd today." Aleena says.
"He has a lot on his mind." Crystal tells them. "With both Sonette and Scourge who is in a serious condition, he is under a bit of stress." Crystal explains.
"I see." Aleena whispers.
"Also, the police were here to talk to Scourge about what happened. I managed to get them to leave but next time I won't be able to." Crystal explains.
"Got it." Sonette says.
"Lunch is soon so you should get back to your room Sonette." Crystal tells her.
"Okay." Sonette whispers, standing up.
Sonic walks over.
"Come on sis." Sonic says, helping her out.
Crystal sighs as she heads off.
"Wait." Teagan says.
Crystal stops at the door, hearing Teagan's voice. Teagan walks over and stands next to her, they had their backs to the bed.
"How bad is Scourge?" Teagan asks softly.
"The fact he is alive is a miracle. The amount of blood he lost, where the bullets hit, he should be dead." Crystal replies softly.
Teagan looks at her shock.
"There is something about the Pirates because all of them just don't know how to die. Sonette was just as lucky." Crystal adds softly.
Teagan chuckles.
"Well they are stubborn." Teagan whispers.
"Watch him, make sure he stays in bed." Crystal tells her.
Teagan nods.
"I will, I promise." Teagan says.
Crystal heads off. Teagan walks back and sighs.
"What is it?" Fiona asks.
"Scourge is very lucky." Teagan replies.
Fiona sighs. Teagan looks at Scourge and sighs.
'Extremely lucky.' Teagan thinks.
She then looks at Fiona who was holding Scourge's hand.
'She can't know the truth, it is bad enough she has to see him like this.' Teagan tells herself.

Crystal saw Fire standing in the hallway, he looks like he was going to breakdown. Crystal walks over and Fire looks at her.
"Hey." Crystal whispers.
"Hey." Fire whispers back. "Ready for lunch?" Fire asks.
"Please." Crystal says as the pair started walking.
Crystal then hands the chart to Susan who smiles.
"Got it." Susan says walking off.
"Come on." Crystal says.
The pair walks off.
