Sonette is sitting in her bed with Sonic. Teagan, Aleena and a few others from the workshop came here to see Scourge who is still unconscious.
"Are you okay sis?" Sonic asks worried.
"No." Sonette replies as Teagan walks in with Oscar on her head. "How is he?" Teagan asks.
"He just woke up. Fiona and Aleena are with him now. The others left, the medical bills for both you and him, are high so they are going to work. James says he knows a race and has someone racing. The winnings will come here." Teagan explains.
She then looks around but couldn't see Fire.
"Where's Fire?" Teagan asks.
"I don't know, I'm worried." Sonette replies.
Teagan sighs.
"I'm sure he is fine." Teagan says. "I'm going to grab something to eat, do you want anything?" Teagan asks.
"We're good, go on." Sonette tells her.
Teagan walks off.
~XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX~
Fire and Crystal found a quiet spot and sat down. Crystal yawns and sighs.
"Sorry." Crystal whispers.
"Don't be." Fire tells her. "Been a long day and you overslept." Fire adds.
Crystal smiles.
"It has been a long day and it is only halfway over. I don't finish to nine remember." Crystal explains.
"Well its 2:30 now." Fire says.
Crystal smiles.
"Yeah, the morning went so fast." Crystal admits.
"Yeah, it has." Fire says.
"How are you Fire?" Crystal asks worried.
"I'm fine, hard to believe this is happening. This is the worse the Hunters have attacked us. We haven't done anything to them in months. We had an agreement and they broke it." Fire explains.
"I see, what do you think will happen?" Crystal asks.
"If the worse happens, a gang war." Fire replies. "Another gang known as the Titians are on our side, so they will help us if we go into war." Fire explains.
"But the amount of people that will get hurt and die, the amount of innocent people." Crystal says.
Fire sighs.
"I know, none of us like the idea that is why we made the agreement." Fire tells her. "Something must has happened in another city to set the Hunters off like this. James is looking around but hasn't found anything yet." Fire explains.
"I see." Crystal whispers. "I hope things turn out better." Crystal then says.
"Same." Fire whispers.
Crystal smiles.
"Crystal, Fire!" they heard Teagan shout.
The pair looks over as Teagan runs over.
"What is it?" Crystal asks worried.
"Nothing, I have been looking for you two." Teagan replies. "Scourge woke up not long ago." Teagan adds.
"How is he?" Crystal asks.
"Confused, he didn't remember much of the attack. When Fiona and Aleena left to get him some water I told him the truth on his condition. He was shock. I told him he cannot leave that bed until you say so and he agrees. Also, Fiona doesn't know the truth on how bad Scourge is yet and I don't want her to know. It is bad enough she has to see him like this." Teagan explains.
"Good idea." Fire says.
"Are they dating?" Crystal asks.
"Yeah, seven months now." Teagan replies.
"Yeah, poor Fiona. I'm just glad she's okay." Fire says.
"Same." Teagan whispers. "I'm going to grab something to eat the go back up to pick on Sonette. See you two later." Teagan tells them, then runs off.
Oscar then flies to Crystal who puts her hands out. Oscar sits on her hands and Crystal smiles.
"You look a lot better today." Crystal says.
Oscar smiles.
"Chao!" Oscar yells.
Crystal smiles.
"Teagan has been looking after him." Fire says.
Crystal smiles.
"She always loved looking after Oscar." Crystal says.
"I have a question, how long have you been working here?" Fire asks.
"Three years now." Crystal replies. "I moved here after school. I got accepted right away and got help to get my apartment by my parents. When I first started, I worked with Dr Hammer. Good doctor until he lost his job, drug addict and was caught stealing. Then I worked with Dr White for half a year. He moved so was transferred. Dr Quack took me in, reading my file and shock on how young I was. I have been with him since." Crystal explains.
"Wait, three years." Fire says.
"Yeah, I started when I was 19." Crystal explains.
Fire looks at her shock.
"Wow." Fire whispers.
Crystal smiles.
"Yeah, the others use to pick on me, but Susan and Kirra, they are old enough to be my mother." Crystal says.
Fire chuckles.
"They are good people, everyone here is." Crystal then says.
"You love you job, don't you?" Fire asks.
Crystal nods.
"I really do." Crystal says.
Fire smiles.
"What about you?" Crystal asks.
"It's okay, work can be frustrating, more so when we get people want the car fix by the afternoon." Fire replies.
"Really?" Crystal asks.
"Yeah, we get someone like that every day. Last time it happened, it had to be some rich guy with his girlfriend. He demanded it done in half an hour. What we were doing, normally takes one, maybe two hours. He wanted an oil change, new tires, new rims as well and some new headlights. When we didn't have it done when he wanted, he lost it. Lucky Blueberry was there and not in uniform and abused the man. We didn't see him for the rest of the day when the car was done. He played at the front for what we did and left." Fire explains.
"Don't think he will come back." Crystal whispers.
"Same." Fire says.
Crystal smiles.
"I have to go." Crystal says, looking at the time. "But thank you Fire." Crystal whispers.
"For what?" Fire asks.
"Everything I guess." Crystal replies.
"You're more than welcome." Fire says as he got up.
He grabs their rubbish and put it in the bin. They head off and Crystal went off to find Susan. She walks to the desk to see Maria and Susan.
"How was lunch?" Susan asks smiling and Crystal sighs.
"Really?" Crystal says.
Susan nods.
"It was fine." Crystal says softly.
"Moving on." Maria tells them.
Crystal nods.
"I need Scourge to be watched tonight." Crystal says.
Maria nods.
"I have given notices to Yulia, she has the night shift." Maria explains.
"Good." Crystal says.
Then two police officers walked over to Crystal, she knows them too. It was Gary and Kevin. They were also here when Sonette was attacked and earlier to see Scourge, but Crystal turn them down.
"Gary, Kevin." Crystal greets.
"We would like to see Scourge and we can't leaving till we do." Kevin says.
Crystal sighs.
"Give me a second and I will take you." Crystal says, walking behind the desk.
She grabbed a few things just in case. They then head off. Crystal walks in to Scourge's room to see the bed head was raised so Scourge could sit up and Fiona was helping him drink water. Teagan was sitting in the corner on a laptop. Crystal walks over and checked Scourge's health as Kevin and Gary walks over.
"Mr Hedgehog, we would like to ask you some question." Kevin says.
"Now, with the attack, the report says it was part the gang war going on." Gary says.
Crystal looks at him.
"There isn't a gang war going on." Scourge whispers. "The Hunters just have been attacking us, we haven't done anything to them." Scourge adds softly.
"So what, they attacked you for now reason." Gary says, then chuckles.
Crystal slams the chart down and walks up to Gary.
"Tuesday morning at 3:13, Sonette the Hedgehog was brought here in a serious condition. They were attack by Hunters while going home after a night out. They did nothing wrong." Crystal tells him. "And you think it is funny that Scourge was attack for no reason, be grateful you are a police officer." Crystal says and Teagan chuckles.
"Dr Crystal-" Gary starts.
"Get out!" Crystal tells him, cutting him off. "Now or god help me." Crystal says in a deep voice.
"Come on, you idiot." Kevin says.
The pair heads off.
"Thanks." Fiona says.
"Don't worry about it." Crystal says as Fire walks in.
"Is everything okay here?" Fire asks.
"Yeah, Crystal scared the pigs off." Scourge replies softly.
Crystal sighs.
"I don't have time for those two." Crystal says walking out.
"Hell of a woman." Scourge says.
Fire sighs as he walks out. He saw Crystal talking to a patient that was being pushed around in a wheelchair.
'Yeah, she is.' Fire thinks smiling.
~XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX~
Crystal was working on a few more paperwork with Oscar close behind her. The rest of her shift went quite fast. Nothing happened which is what she wanted. Then Yulia Hedgehog walks in and Crystal smiles. Yulia has light blue fur, brown hair that goes down to her hips but is always pulled into a pony tail with a yellow ribbon and pink eyes.
"Heading off." Yulia says.
"Yeah, keep a close eye on Scourge would you." Crystal says.
"I will." Yulia says.
Crystal heads off and checked on Scourge first. Fiona was sitting next to him and Scourge was fast asleep.
"Hi." Fiona whispers as Crystal walks over.
"How is he?" Crystal asks.
"Asleep, thank goodness." Fiona replies.
"A nurse name Yulia will look after Scourge tonight. She is a good woman." Crystal tells Fiona.
"Okay, you better go." Fiona says.
Crystal nods as she heads to see Sonette who was with Sonic and Fire.
"Got it sis, I'll bring them tomorrow." Sonic says.
Sonette smiles.
"Yay." Sonette says.
"Night." Sonic says, then walks out.
"Come on Crystal." Fire says.
"Right, let's go." Crystal says.
The pair heads off. They got in the car and heads off. Crystal leans back.
"Long day huh." Fire says.
Crystal smiles as they stop at the lights.
"Yeah, it has been a long day." Crystal whispers. "Tomorrow the last day for the weekend." Crystal adds.
"Yeah, I'll drop by and give that car a look over." Fire says.
"That would be nice, I need a new one. The one I have is a second-hand piece of crap." Crystal admits.
"I have a spear if you want to use that for a while." Fire offers.
"That would be nice." Crystal whispers.
The light went green and Fire starts moving. Crystal looks over, then goes into shock as a large black SUV speeds their way.
"Look out!" Crystal screams.
The SUV slams into the side of the car. Crystal hits the side of her head in the glass window. Crystal moans as she saw the SUV drive off. Crystal takes her seatbelt off and looks at the door. There was blood on the window where it has cracked. Crystal then felt something side down the side of her head, but she did her best to ignore it as she got out and slowly walks over to Fire's side, Oscar was close behind her
"Chao." Oscar says with fear in his voice.
People run over, wanting to help. She saw someone on the phone.
"Fire." Crystal whispers, opening his door.
Fire wasn't moving. Crystal cries out in pain, her left arm hurt. She then takes Fire's seatbelt off, then moves his chair back and got a better look at him. Crystal quickly check for a pulse and sighs with relief when she found one.
"Crystal!" a voice call.
She looks over as Susan runs over.
"I got him." Susan says, taking over.
Crystal walks back. She was in not state to help Fire
"Fire." Crystal whispers scared.
"He has a serious head injury." Susan says, then saw metal in his right leg. "Wait here." Susan says running off.
She then runs back with a large first aid kit.
"Now what happened?" Susan asks as she starts treating Fire.
"The light went green and we started to move when a black SUV slammed into us." Crystal replies.
"Okay, stay back." Susan tells her.
Crystal whimpers as sirens were heard. Oscar lands on Crystal's right shoulder and Crystal clings to her left arm. It was going to be a long night.
