Kyle was pulled into consciousness by a loud bang. He opened his eyes to see blurry forms moving all around him and he heard voices coming from every where.
'At last' Lily thought with relief, a police sniper had managed to shoot the robber in the arm that he was holding the gun, causing him to drop it. The police then stormed in and took charge, grabbing the gun.
It only took a couple of seconds for Lily to go into Doctor mode and she was yelling at nurses left and right to get them to help her while instructing others to help the robber.
Kyle was seeing things happen as if he were looking at a picture book with every other page missing. One minute he was on the floor in Lily's arms the next thing he knew he was on his way to surgery, and the last thing he heard was Lily's voice saying "Hang in there Kyle" before he was consumed by darkness.
Amy and Maxine were in the waiting room of St. Mike's waiting for news on Kyle.
There was so much chaos after the police had gotten hold of the robber that Kyle was already in surgery by the time that they found out that it was actually him who had gotten shot.
Lily was trying her best not to cry, Kyle would be fine she keep telling herself, and right now she needed to tell his family how he was doing.
So she bit down on her trembling lip, took a deep breath and stepped into the waiting room. There they where, Amy and Maxine.
They stood up and she walked over to them.
"How's Kyle?" Maxine asked.
"He's lost a lot blood in the long amount of time between when he was shot to when we were able to get him in to surgery and then close up the wound. The bullet also punctured his left lung but we were able to repair the damage. He's unconscious now and the next 42 hours will be critical. He's in the ICU right now and no visitors are allowed. I'll make sure that you'll be informed if anything changes" Lily reported.
She then turned around and walked out of the waiting room. She just couldn't stay in there and talk about how Kyle might not make it to tomorrow any longer and not cry.
Amy and Maxine were thrown into a whole new world of worry. Amy went off to call Bruce that she wouldn't be in to work tomorrow while Maxine called Peter.
Lily knew that there was no way that she would be able to get anything done in the ER with her mind so preoccupied so she made her way back to Kyle's room. She sat down on the chair next to him and listened to the machine monitoring Kyle's heat beat.
She picked up his hand and held it in hers and Lily could no longer hold back her tears. Sitting there next to Kyle crying she finally realized how much she would miss him if he left her. And then the question that she had been refusing to answer all day surfaced in her mind. Had she actually fallen in love with Kyle?
