Still don't own 'em.
Chapter 4: Visiting Hours
The doctor led Blake back to the waiting area, where he saw the three Winds plus Cam talking in a huddle.
"Hey guys," Blake said, his voice quiet and tired.
"How is he?" Cam asked, the first one to their feet.
"He feels lousy. Didn't say a word when I was in there. But the doctor said he thinks Hunter will be fine. But he's gotta stay overnight. You'll be without a Ranger team for a while."
"Don't worry about that. You just worry about yourself and Hunter," Shane replied.
"The doctor said he'd come get me when Hunter's settled into his room. I'm gonna stay with him until they kick me out. You guys might as well go home," Blake suggested.
"You sure? We'll wait here, it's not a problem," Tori replied.
"Yeah, I'm just gonna stay with Hunter and then go back to Ninja Ops. Tomorrow I'll be here as soon as they'll let me in."
"Well, if you need anything, let us know," Tori said, with a couple of agreements from Shane and Dustin.
"I'll stay here and then head back with you," Cam said.
Blake nodded, then noticed Hunter's doctor heading their way.
"Looks like Hunter's settled in," Blake said, excusing himself and saying goodnight to the departing trio before he met the doctor.
"What's going to happen tomorrow?" Tori asked, "When Hunter's released."
"I can sign him out," Cam answered. "It's a long, convoluted story on how. And it's not exactly 100% legal either. But don't worry, I've got everything covered. I'd hate to have to explain why a guinea pig is signing out a patient."
"Dude, I think that would be kinda funny," Dustin laughed.
Cam glared, but said nothing. "Come on, Dustin. We oughtta go. See you tomorrow, Cam!" Tori said, grabbing Dustin's hand and leading him behind her.
Cam settled into a chair after he saw the three Wind ninjas leave.
Once in Hunter's room, Blake smiled when he saw that the TV was already turned on.
"Bro?" he asked, taking the chair next to his brother's bed.
"Hey Blake," Hunter said, his voice barely above a whisper.
"What's on TV?"
Hunter simply shrugged, "The nurse turned it on. I'm not watching whatever it is."
"Cam's downstairs. He's going to wait for me. I sent Tori, Shane and Dustin home. They need to rest and stuff."
"They were here?"
"Yup. They called Cam and then followed us here."
Hunter nodded, then closed his eyes for a few seconds.
"Hunter?"
"Yeah?"
"Just making sure."
"Blake, look at this," Hunter said, getting Blake to look at the hand opposite from where he was sitting. "It's a monitor. Someone will know the second anything's wrong."
"Hunter, don't you ever do that to me again."
"Try not to, bro."
A nurse came a while later to say that visiting hours were over and that Blake had to leave. Blake stood, embracing his brother and said, "Sleep good and I'll be back in the morning."
"See you then," Hunter replied.
