Jay's pov

I opened my eyes to a bright and sunny morning, the curtains were already open and the sun was shining down on the bed covers...I noticed I was in an open bay with what looked like four other men around me in various states of delirium.

Still hadn't registered in my brain though...I'd had a pretty good sleep considering I should have been in a world of pain, but I assumed, as you do that the pain relief was doing it's job and it was because everything I felt on my right side resembled pins and needles. Mostly my hands and arms though, my legs were okay well the right side of me was, the rest of me was kinda numb.

I looked to my right side and my wrist was restrained which was odd to begin with because as far as I remembered I was not a risk to myself...my lower left arm from the elbow down was completely immobile and in a plaster of Paris cast with a striking green plastic wrap.

My left side was painful to turn because of the broken collar bone but it wasn't too bad, the small pain relief syringe driver next to me was steadily pumping me full of a morphine substitute and sedative, and both were keeping me semi docile but woozy.

'Oh God what did I say last night in my sedated state?' I thought to myself trying to remember the events from last night but nothing was forthcoming.

"Err hey nurse...uhm...doctor...err hello anyone." I mumbled, hearing only myself.

"Someone...answer me...hello, I'm right here for FSM's sake." I shouted louder.

"Yes...hhmm, Mr Walker how can I help you?"

"You can help by getting these things off me for a start and next you can tell me why I've been restrained in the first place." I wriggled my wrists to no avail, the straps were strong and stayed put.

"They are there for your own protection, you have been neglecting your own body, starvation is a cry for help as is purposefully throwing yourself from a great height."

"Oh that...great, you do one little thing to make something better and it all blows up in your face." I grumbled out.

"Look that was just a misunderstanding yeah! and it wasn't a cry for help...I didn't need help."

"Mr Walker, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your brothers? well they have been arrested in conspiracy for imprisoning you which hasn't helped your fragile mental state."

"I can only imagine what pain you must have been through whilst in captivity, their actions drove you to this?"

"What? no... they had nothing to do with it." I hissed.

"But most of them had admitted to keeping you prisoner aboard the ship you called home. how long exactly had you been a prisoner Mr Walker?"

"It was...they did it to...they were protecting me from myself okay, they were and still are innocent...they've done nothing wrong you hear me...nothing wrong."

"Would you accept a full psychiatric evaluation if it means that they are released free of charge?"

"Uhm...yes of course."

"Why would you arrest them anyway? are you insane?" I shouted at her and she raised her eyebrow.

"I mean, they are innocent after all and I don't understand why you think I need it though...other than the fact you seem to be twisting my words and painting me out to be a psycho."

"Your actions speak louder than words Mr Walker, it is clear to see how much damage you have inflicted upon yourself."

Jay shook his head and refused to say anymore for fear of putting his foot in his mouth and sealing his own fate. And, he was dammed if he would speak to a psychiatrist explaining the reason he had done what he had done. He would be in a straight jacket faster than you could say first spinjitsu master. No this time he would bite his tongue and not say a word until he had at least spoken to his brothers, or sense Wu or even Nya...Hell anyone would do instead of the stuck up pompous attitudes of the people who worked on the ward he was currently stuck on.

"What ward is this anyway?" Jay huffed out looking away and out of the barred windows.

"This is a secure unit and part of the hospital, it's for mental health issues, mostly patients who have attempted self harm, but you seem to b the most injured patient we have had here to date."

"Great you must feel so honoured." Jay rolled his eyes and licked his teeth, the nurse didn't reply just simply picked up Jay's case file and ticked a few items on it before placing it at the foot of his bed.

Meanwhile at the police station Cole and Kai, Lloyd and Zane were all in the cell together whilst Sensei Wu was being questioned. As yet none of the team had been formally charged with any misdemeanour involving or pertaining to kidnap, imprisonment or cruelty.

"What did you say Cole, did they ask you why we imprisoned him?"

"Yeah they did and I told them the truth...we've got nothing to hide dude."

"I know but how bad does it sound for Jay?. he's been through enough already."

"Kai, what's the worst that could happen times that by ten and it still wouldn't be as bad as what we had to endure on the Bounty."

"If he is sectioned, which sounds highly likely about to happen, he will at least be allowed out and it won't be permanent."

"I can't believe how blase you're being about this Cole, yeah obviously it won't be permanent but his street cred will be tarnished beyond all recognition."

"He'll be fine Kai, besides we'll be able to visit him while he convalesces."

"Urgh sometimes I despise your ability to act so calm when all Hell is at risk of crashing down on us."

Kai sat back down on the uncomfortable wooden bench with his knees drawn up to his chest. "Have they interviewed Nya Yet?"

"No she's after Sensei Wu." Cole replied holding onto the bars tightly hoping his previous words to Kai would be true.

The station received a phone call relating to the case of a Mr J Walker, and the detective inspector who was in charge took the call. He jotted down many relevant details before tapping his pen on the point. His eyebrows raised in animation as something said had spiked his interest.

"Really now that is interesting, okay well once you have all the details you need we can arrange to get this lot back home.

"No it's not a lengthy process, quite quick actually, just the paperwork but I'm sure I don't have to say much more than that considering how much paperwork you have to do too with admissions and discharges too."

"Yeah well the same goes for us with or without charges. Obviously charges are better because we get paid for each arrest, caution and subsequent crime, the innocents are merely a waste of money and time."

"Thank you again, please keep me informed and I'll go and pass on the happy news."

The Inspector ended the phone call and shuffled his papers before puffing his chest out, he made his way slowly through to the holding cells.

"It appears you can all go home, the charges have been dropped." The detective inspector said with an air of authority.

"Okay unexpected what happened?" Lloyd questioned.

"The hospital have managed to get a psychiatric evaluation started and once that has gone through we can begin with your release from here." He replied.

"But what about Jay?" Lloyd added.

"He is none of your concern, he will be interviewed and sectioned.

"Wow...just like that? no chance to talk to him or anything...have you ever stopped to think that maybe he is innocent in this too...that infact there is no guilty party?"

"Just what are you implying Mr Garmadon?"

"That everything isn't as cut and dry as you think it is..." Lloyd started but Cole cut him off with a stern glare.

"Save it Lloyd...later...not now."

"Well like I was saying once we get th all clear from the hospital we will endeavour to get your release papers signed and then you'll be free to go."

"Can we go and visit Jay?" Kai asked hopefully.

"No, you are to stay away from him, he is a danger to himself and as such he will be transferred to a secure unit."

"Which one?...come on he's our brother" Cole asked calmly trying to diffuse the situation.

"Like I said it is out of my hands, the hospital will arrange it and it would be best if you didn't try to intervene." The detective added before turning around and leaving them to their thoughts.
