The waiting room.
Brad, Bit and Leena waited in the waiting room of the hospital in the nearby city of Saith. It was the closest town to them so they immediatly sent Jamie to its hospital, hoping they could help him and find out how serious the injury was.
"What I wouldn't give for a cigarette right now," Brad said, slouching in his chair.
"Well, you wouldn't exactly find a smoking section in a hospital where they advocate good health," Bit said dryly.
Dr. Tauros walked in.
"I just got done speaking with the doctor," he said, "He says Jamie's head injury is pretty serious. They'll need to do some x-rays to see how badly the damage was done to his skull. It's possible that it could've been broken."
"Guess we'll have to look for a new strategist for the Blitz Team. Thanks a lot, Leena," Brad said sarcastically.
"Shut up Brad," Bit spat. He turned to Leena and said, "Don't worry about it, him. It wasn't your fault at all."
"Yes it was," Leena said in a small voice, looking down. "If I hadn't let my temper tantrums get the best of me, Jamie would be all right."
"No, I shouldn't have gotten out of the way. That smack on the head was suppose to go to me," Bit admitted.
"But then you would've been in the hospital and it'd still have been Leena's fault," Brad pointed out.
"I said shut up Brad!" Bit yelled.
"Calm down," Doc ordered, "Look, what's done is done. We just need to......hope for the best." He took a seat and opened up an old magazine. It was silence for the next few minutes. Bit looked at Leena. She had her face buried in her hands, impossible to tell if she was silently crying. He put his arm over her shoulders and gave them a little squeeze.
"He'll be okay. Don't worry," he said softly. Leena looked up at him with tear-stricken cheeks and nuzzled herself on to his chest. Bit stroked her back and comforted her.

*Flashback: 17 years ago*

Dr. Stephen Tauros was working on his latest Zoid model. It was almost near completion when a beautiful woman walked into his room.
"Hey, there handsome," said the woman, kissing him on the cheek.
"Is that my beautiful wife?" asked Doc playfully. His wife giggled.
"Check this out," said the doc excitedly, "I just finished this model of the Lightning Sykes. almost looks like the real thing, eh?"
"Oh Stephen, when are you going to quit playing with these toys," Doc's wife asked dryly. Doc shook his head.
"Zoids aren't toys. They're a way of life," Doc explained.
"AAAAH!" someone screamed. A young boy at the age of five ran into the room and grabbed onto his mother's legs.
"What's wrong, Leon?" asked the woman.
"Is Leena chasing you again, son?" Doc asked.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!" screamed a tiny voice. A little two-year-old girl, with long pink hair marched into the room, with the look of fury on her face.
"You took my cookies, Leon! Mommy, Daddy, did you know Leon stole my cookies?"
"Don't worry, Leena, I'll give you some more cookies," said the mother. Leena stuck her tongue out at her older brother. He returned the gesture.
The doorbell rang.
"Ah that must be Oscar. He said he was going to bring a surprise today," said Dr. Tauros.
"A surprise?" asked Leon and Leena with happy looks ontheir faces. Their mother smiled.
Tauros opened the door and was greeted by an old friend.
"Hey, there, Tauros! How the heck have ya been?" Oscar greeted with a charming look on his face. A stroller was at his side. He pushed it inside along with himself, of course. Leon, Leena, and their mom waited in the living room as Doc and Oscar came in with their little surprise.
"So this is the baby Melinda gave birth to last week?" Doc observed. Oscar nodded.
"A beautiful baby boy. Good looks courtesy of yours truly. Heh heh."
"Oscar you never did tell me, what did you name him?"
"Jamie. Jamie Alexander Hemerose. Beautiful isn't it?"
"Sure is," Doc said with a look of approval. His wife came over with the children in tow. Leon and Leena peered over the stroller and saw a small infant, sleeping and as innocent as an angel.
"Wow, he's cool!" said Leon.
"Aww, he looks cute," Leena smiled. She tried to touch him, but Doc smacked her hand away.
"Don't touch the baby," Doc scolded.
"Oh, don't be a sourpuss," said Oscar. He knelt down and looked at leena who was cradling her hand. "You want to hold Jamie?" Leena nodded. Oscar unstrapped Jamie from the stroller and placed him in her arms.
"Hold him carefully. Wouldn't want to drop him and break his skull, now would we?" Oscar laughed. Leena sure didn't. She held him as carefully as she could.
"I want a turn!" Leon said. Oscar ruffled his hair.
"You'll get it, don't worry little man," he assured. Jamie started to stir. Leena looked alarmed, not knowing what was going to happen. But Jamie woke up and looked up at her. He smiled an infant smile and cooed.
"I think he likes me!" Leena exclaimed in happiness. Oscar, Doc Tauros, and his wife laughed.
"Yep," said Oscar placing a finger on her small nose, "I think you're going to be his special friend. He seems to really like you. A lot."
"I'm going to take good care of you, Jamie," said Leena softly, "I promise."

I promise...

I promise...

I promise...
*End Flashback*

"...I promise..." Leena said softly.
"Mmm?" asked Bit. Leena was still in his arms. Brad looked like he had fallen asleep, but you could never tell since he always had his eyes closed. Doc Tauros was still reading a magazine.
"N-nothing," said Leena, getting up. "I just need fresh air."
