RECAP!!!!
Med was shot by Vash, our hero, in the latest battle with Legato and the Gun Ho Guns, now Wolfwood has come down with a cancer from all of his years of smoking, however the cancerous cells where removed. Yet, Critos has yet to remain in bed temporarily disabled by the wound. Now Legato has dispatched a new and more powerful minion upon our heroes. What will become of them now, and where has Seiko disappeared?

"Wait! Stop the car!" Med suddenly shouted after about an hour of sitting quietly watching Vash and Knives played 'Risk' still on the same game, they had been playing since Seiko's operation. "We forgot Seiko!" Wolfwood slamming on the brakes when he heard Med shout, little plastic soldier figurines flying every where.
"Wolfwood," Knives shouted, picking pieces out of his hair, "warn us when you're going to put the break on!"
"I thought that Med shouting would be enough to warn ya!" Wolfwood retorted yelling to the back of the large van that they had rented after the wagon incident.
"What do you mean we forgot Seiko?" Vash gave Med and inquisitive look.
"Look around," Med replied simply pointing to the seats that Critos and Seiko would have occupied.
"Yes it would appear that we have forgotten Seiko in our haste to leave," Chi summed up looking at the seat by Wolfwood that Vash had forsaken so he could finish his game with Knives.
"How did that happen?" Wolfwood eased the car into reverse turning around to face the opposite direction.
"I believe that while we where waiting for the report on Med and Wolfwood's conditions he left to have some time alone. Afterward when we knew the results of the surgeries, we decided to leave ass quickly as possible, so as not to attract the Gun Ho Guns to where Critos lay incapacitated and defenseless." Chi summarized the chaotic advents that had resulted after the confrontation.
"So I guess we should turn around and go get him, huh?" Wolfwood spend down the road tying to make up for the hour that they had spent going in the opposite direction.
"If you think so."

"Hey, Doc, we're back!" Vash shouted into the door of the hospital.
"Vash, what are you doing back here?" the doctor looked up from some paper work he was doing.
"Well, you see, when we left we kind of forgot to get Seiko, have you seen him around?" Vash looked around.
"Well he was here to visit your friend in here but he hasn't been back for about half an hour," The doctor thought a moment.
"Well, if you see him tell him Wolfwood's out in the parking lot," Vash bid farewell to the aging doctor walking down to see Critos.
"Oh wait Vash, you can't see him right now he's resting, he absolutely has to be undisturbed for a few hours so he can recover," the doctor looked up from what he was working on.
"Oh, ok," Vash cast a regretful look down the hallway then left.

"Hello chapel," a man appeared out of nowhere, standing right out side of the driver side window where Wolfwood was sitting, smoking.
"What the!" Wolfwood sprung up in a second, snatching his cross punisher up off the ground where it had been laying, "Who the heck are you?"
"Don't you know me? We used to be best friends Chapel," the man used the top end of the staff he held in his hands to throw back the hood that covered his face. Revealing him to be in his late twenties, with slicked back hair, and a large jagged scar from the right side of his chin descending down to his collarbone, "do you not remember me?" The man's Japanese accent was thick; "I am your old pal, David Radcliff."
"H- how… Legato… he killed you," Wolfwood stuttered out backing a way from the man in shock and horror.
"Yes and he killed you as well, remember chapel," The man looked down on Wolfwood with that look that Knives had given Chapel of the Evergreen.
"I don't believe you," Wolfwood stood forward and pointed his gun at the man's chest.
"It's ok, I'm here to kill you forever, so it wont matter if you can accept it or not," he sneered down at Wolfwood, "besides I know it was you that betrayed me to Legato."
"How…" Wolfwood fired directly at the man's head hopping to end this horrible nightmare.
"And just as gullible as in the old days, as well!" He shouted raising his staff; it's metal color growing fire engine red the bullets stinking themselves to the staff. "Ha, you of all people should remember that you can't hurt me with bullets!"
"How…" Wolfwood stopped in mid sentence, Vash walking out of the hospital right in between the two.
"What the… Wolfwood what the heck is going on here!" Vash nearly missed being hit by Wolfwood's bullet's that had been stuck on the odd staff.
"I'm bein' attacked!" Wolfwood shouted, ducking down to avoid the bullets. "An', I know ya aren't gonna like this one Tongari, but I gotta do what I gotta do." Wolfwood Picked up his cross punisher opening the shout end he fired missing David Radcliff by meters the explosion still hurting him greatly.
"Wolfwood!" Vash shouted running over to the man, oblivious to the fact that he was a Gun Ho Gun. "Hey you are you- urk. Wolfwood! You shot Seiko!"
"Hey, it's okay Vash, I've been through worse," his facial features softening taking him from looking his true age, twenty-eight, back to looking fifteen, the way he had since Vash had known him.
"Wolfwood why did you do that?" Vash spun around only to find Knives and Wolfwood already wrestling, on the parking lot, Vash joining in; giving Wolfwood his just deserves.
"Knives, Vash, I swear, I didn't mean to kill Seiko!" Wolfwood shouted trying to get away.
"Bakas," Seiko muttered, his shirt collar zipped back up hiding the scar, going into the hospital the doorbell sounding rather loudly after him.
"Hey where'd he go?" Knives shouted holding Wolfwood up by the collar of his jacket.
"Knivesu, I think that he went inside the hospital," Vash pointed to the form inside the glass doors.
"So he is," Knives released Wolfwood letting him fall to the ground, battered and bruised.
