"Oh my God! Cammy!"
Guile got up from the table and headed towards Cammy's room on instinct as Wagner yelled again.
"Guile, get in here!"
He walked through the door. Wagner was in Cammy's room helping her off the floor. There was shattered glass and blood all over the floor. There was too much blood. Guile looked at Wagner.
"Where's all the blood coming from."
"Her wrists Guile."
Guile felt his heart stop. It was only a second of realization, but it felt like an eternity to him. He pulled himself back together and grabbed the sheet off her bed.
"Here, we have got to stop her bleeding as best as we can until we get to the hospital."
Wagner supported Cammy as Guile ripped the sheet and wrapped the shreds around her wrists. The whole time Cammy just stood there in a daze. Guile scooped her into his arms and carried her towards the car.
"Wagner, you drive, I'll stay in the back and hold the bandages tight."
Wagner nodded and the two men drove at high speeds towards the hospital.

Guile hung up the phone and sat down in the hard chair provided in the waiting room. He rested his head in his hands and sighed. It had been almost half an hour since they had arrived at the hospital. Upon arriving, Guile carried Cammy inside and explained what happened. They took her away and told him to wait here. Wagner was up and down, sitting one minute, pacing the other. He had just called the number Chun-Li had given in to call in case of emergencies. This was an emergency. Who ever was supposed to come was on their way to the hospital now. Wagner broke Guile's train of thoughts.
"Why haven't they told us what's going on yet?!"
"Calm down Wagner, they'll come as--"
He stopped speaking when a doctor entered the room.
"William Guile?"
Guile stood and walked past Wagner to reach the doctor.
"Yeah, that's me. How is she?"
"She's fine. Lost a quite a bit of blood. But not more than she could donate. She just needs to rest."
Guile closed his eyes and thanked God silently.
"Mr. Guile there is still more we needs to discuss. But--"
The doctor looked at Wagner
"--it might be better if we spoke alone."
Guile looked to Wagner then back to the doctor.
"No it's alright. He's her family."
"Okay. I wanted to make sure you understood that her wounds were self inflicted. Some parents come in here under the illusion that things like this couldn't happen to their children."
"Yes doctor, I understand. But with all due respect. I just want to see Cammy."
"Yes. I know. I just need to get you a badge. She's in the pskye ward."
The doctor once again looked at Wagner.
"Young man are you alright? You look pretty beat up."
"I'll be fine. Can I see her too?"
"That's okay. But only one of you at a time."
Wagner nodded and sat down as the doctor led Guile out of the room. Guile got the appropriate badge within minutes of talking to the doctor, was walking into Cammy's hospital room. She was strapped to the bed with leather straps across her chest, thighs and calves. She looked like she did a little over a year ago when she had been shot, finally bringing her back. No straps were around her wrists, but there were bandages. Guile gently touched her cheek before speaking to the asleep Cammy.
"What made you do this?"
He was answered with silence. He had expected that. It was almost a rhetorical question. Well not exactly, but it might has well have been one. Deep down he had a pretty good idea what would have made her do it. He just stood there looking at her. His best friends daughter, his daughter. He wished more than anything that he could help her. She stirred awake and looked into Guile's eyes.
"Guile? Where am I?"
"This is the hospital Cam."
"Why are we here? Guile, I'm strapped down!"
She began to push against the straps.
"Don't do that Cam. Just listen to me."
She nodded her head an remained still.
"You hurt yourself today. You cut your wrists with broken glass from your mirror."
Cammy's face changed as she took this information in.
"I just was trying to get away."
"Away from what?"
Cammy felt tears welling up in her eyes.
"I remembered killing another person today Guile."
"Who?"
"I don't know. But I felt him. It was like I was there again. And I couldn't take it. I broke down."
"But why did you hurt yourself. You could have come to me."
"Dad was there."
Guile looked at Cammy closely. She was serious.
"What do you mean he was there?"
"He told me I didn't have to live like that."
"Cammy. Your father is dead. Charlie has been dead for a year and a half now."
Cammy's eyes darted around the room.
"What?"
"He was killed shortly before you were kidnapped. You saw it."
Cammy gasped. She closed her eyes and a few moments later they popped open before she spoke again, her voice shaky.
"Oh God."
She started to cry.
"I don't know what I was thinking. Oh my God!"
A nurse ran into the room.
"Excuse me sir, but she needs to rest."
"I'm not leaving her."
"I'm going to give her a sedative. She'll be asleep in a few moments."
"I'm staying untill then."
The nurse let out a sigh but let Guile stay holding her hand the two minutes it took the drugs to take hold on Cammy.
"I knew he was gone Guile, but I…I just saw him, and it felt good. To have him with me. He helped me."
"No he didn't Cammy."
Her eyes closed but her face still showed pain. But at least those raw green eyes were closed and at peace for a moment.

Wagner had made his third rotation around the room when the door opened. He spoke before the person even entered the room.
"Guile? Can I see her?"
He was answered by a smile from a Chinese woman. Well he figured she was due to her hairstyle. Not that it mattered. She shut the door behind her and spoke.
"Scott?"
"Wagner actually…who are you?"
"I'm Chun-Li Xaing. Is Guile in here?"
"He's with Cammy. But your name doesn't help me much. Who are you?"
"Guile called me."
After she said this Wagner knew who she was, or at least why she was here. She was with Interpol, the people who set him up with Guile after his family was killed.
"You sent me and Cammy here?"
"Yes."
Chun-Li sat down and Wagner followed her.
"So, Wagner, can you tell me what's going on?"
"Cammy cut her wrists."
"What?! Just out of the blue?"
"Well no. Today was a weird day."
Wagner went on to tell her the events of today. She listened carefully nodding her head as he spoke.
"So, she's in the psychiatric ward?"
"Yeah. They had to send her there. Something bad had to have happened."
"She can't talk to a psychiatrist."
"What? Why not. She needs help."
"You will be found. Both you and her. I have to see Guile!"
"So she can continue to hurt herself, but she can't get help?"
"It's complicated Wagner."
"Not to me. Your are supposed to be looking out for our well being. She's not healthy if she's crazy!"
He was now standing in front of her practically yelling.
"I am not having this conversation with you. It's not your choice."
"It's not yours either. It's Guile's, he's her guardian."
Wagner smiled at the point that he had just proven. He crossed his arms and continued to stare at Chun-Li. Chun-Li stood and walked past Wagner before saying.
"I think Guile will trust my judgment. He always has in the past."
The door shut behind her and Wagner punched the wall. He suddenly realized how he was acting. Like a family member was hurt. Guile had called him her family. He had accepted it. It was better than his family before. Well not his mother and sister. Just his father. His father was the reason they were dead.
