This is the sequel to Melly and CrazyKid: The 2 youngest patients/Terrors
The New York VA and the 2 escapees
A long 4 hours later, CK was in New York, with a sleepy Sky behind her, rubbing her eyes. "Now what? What now?" Sky yawned as she asked. CK took her hand. "Now we gets a cabbie an gets ta the VA hopsical, dat what now." CK said, as she took Sky with her through the airport terminal. It was pretty much empty, on account of it being almost 2:30 am. "Ckkkkkkk..." Sky whined. "What?" CK asked as they were nearly to the front enterance of the airport.
"I sleepy!" Sky said, rubbing her eyes again. CK nodded, opening the door. "We be o-tay. You can saleep in the VA. Jus tay awake till we gets there, o-tay?" CK asked as she saw a cab coming towards her. Yawning, Sky nodded as CK hailed the cab, he stopped and they climbed in. "Where to kid?" The driver asked. "The VA hopsical, please." CK said, and the driver nodded and drove off. After what seemed like forever later, they pulled up at the NY VA. CK and Sky climbed out, and CK threw 2 fifties into the passenger side window at the driver, seeing them, he didn't ask any questions and drove away.
As he left, CK and Sky hid in the dark. CK pulled out her map from her backpack, and smoothed it out on the wet grass. Reading it, CK knew where to break in. Shoving the map into her overalls and grabbing Sky's hand, CK took Sky to the other side of the building where a thick pipe ran along the side of the wall. Looking up at the pipe, CK smiled. Sky looked at CK and shookher head. "NO CK, NO!! NO way!" Sky said, and CK nodded yes.
Sky was soon climbing the pipe ahead of CK, all the way up to the roof. Once there, Sky was near tears as CK used her lap top again to break the door lock codes. A beep and they were in! Now calmed down, Sky quietly followed CK, now wide awake. Somehow, she'd decided not to be sleepy.

BA called Worf, but was merely able to leave a message, told by a snobby fat heifer of a nurse that he was too busy to be bothered by unnessacary phone calls BA knew Mel must have had another attack. It was the only time Worf refused to be bothered. BA said okay, and left a message for Worf to call him ASAP. BA put the phone down and sighed. CK was one hell of a kid.

CK and Sky ducked behind linen barrels and hid when orderlies came by. Sky was beginning to get even more afraid, and CK realized it when she heard her mumbling something about christmas lights.CK looked up at the door across the hallfrom where they were hiding, and read the door number. She was about to tell Sky they had to turn around when a hand came down and grabbed the back of CK's overalls! Sky jut stared as CK dangled in the air, yelling profanities at the 6 foot 2 orderly. He shook his head at her, and turned to Sky. He nodded for her to come along too and Sky got up, and followed him as the orderly carried CK down the hall like a smelly sock.
"You better putted me down wight now, for I kicks you wight squawe in duh nuts!" CK screamed as she swung at the laughing orderly. Sky just walked, not saying a word. They were soon on the CW, and Sky's eyes nearly bugged out of her head. Worf was standing out in the hall, talking with a nurse. CK didn't take notice, and kept yelling. Worf's ears picked up a yell in the distance, one that sounded familiar, and he turned around. He saw the orderly carrying an angry, swinging child, and saw he had another one walking by his side. Worf squinted and knew. "CK? Sky?" Worf asked, telling himself he couldn't be hearing right. He excused himself from the nurse and walked over.
"YOU PUTTED ME DOWN WIGHT NOW OR I IS GONNA KICK YOU WIGHT SQUAWE IN DUH NUTS!!" CK screamed, making fists. Worf's eyes widened and then went into slits as he heard the last comment. He knew it was them now. "CK! You stop that vulger langueage, right now!" Worf yelled. CK stopped and looked at Worf, now speechless. Worf told the orderly to put CK down and he did, and Sky hid behind her. CK stood quietly, not believing she'd gotten caught already. "Dammit!" Ck said, looking down. Worf made a face, reached over and took CK by the ear. CK followed, not daring to cuss while he had her ear. Sky followed, giving Worf an afraid look. He didn't snarle at her, but he did give her the look that meant they were both in serious trouble.
The nurse Worf had been talking to looked at the newcomers. "You know them, Worf?" She asked. Worf nodded as he kept his grip on CK's ear. "Yes. it seems my phone call was more urgent than I thought. These two are from the Los Angeles VA." Worf said as he glared at the scowling CK. "How in the world? How did you get here?" She asked both girls. Sky couldn't take it anymore. Rubbing her eyes, she began to cry.
"I wanna go night night, wight now!" Sky yelled, and the nurse felt sorry for her. She took Sky's hand as she gave Worf a nod. Worf gave a little smile and nodded back as he watched the nurse take Sky into a room. Once Sky's crying had stopped, Worf took his hand off of CK's ear and put it on her shoulder. She rubbed at her ear and looked up at him. "You and me are going to call the VA and then you are going right to bed, if I have to make the nurse sedate you, you will go to sleep. Understand?" Worf said, and CK stubbornly nodded okay.
Worf walked her to the nurses station and sat her up onto the counter. Worf dialed the number, got BA, and after a minute or two, he handed the phone to CK. CK took it and was soon teary eyed and speechless. Worf watched, and he'd had no idea who'd said what, or what they'd said, but he knew it had to be bad. Otherwise, CK's eyes would be dry, and a proud smile would replace the quivering top and bottom lips. CK handed the phone back to Worf and BA was on the line. He was asked to keep an eye on CK, and Worf said he would beofre hanging up. He got CK down, and she led the way back down the hall.
Worf turned the corner and knew the nurse that had Sky was down there somewhere. He found her and knocked on the door. She opened it and saw CK now speechless, with Worf. "Is there an extra bed?" Worf asked. She nodded and pointed behind her. Worf walked CK in and put her into the bed. CK took her backpack abd shoes off, and lay down. Worf covered her and reminded her about staying in bed. CK rolled over with her back to him and Sky, ignoring him. She had worse things to worry about. Worf and the nurse left, turning out the lights and closing the door. Once they were gone, Sky rolled over facing CK's back. She heard CK's sniffling and knew she was crying. "CK?" Sky said very quietly. CK didn't answer. "What happen?" Sky asked again. "I...don't...don't...wanna...go..go home." CK replied as she quietly cried. Sky heard her, and she knew what ever had happened must have been bad, or else CK would never ever cry. Sky swallowed, closed her eyes, and went to sleep. CK followed her an hour later, after crying herself out.
*********
BA let Face knew about the phone call, and he was relieved that he and Murdock didn't have to leave. Worf was going to bring both of the girls back with him the next afternoon when he returned. Face wasn't happy to hear the rest, like the reason miles away, CK had cried herself to sleep.
