Duncan felt one thing and only. He was tired, but at least he was over the peaks. All he had now was a long stretch of dry, open plain. Unfortunately flat plain meant no cover, from the heat and from what ever was lurking in that hospital. The ground was covered in a thick dry, brown grass that scratched his ankles and tore through his socks. It was high enough so someone could lay in it and not be seen. He stared down at his feet and then looked up. Could it be? Someone was coming! He turned and ran towards the rocks. It was too steep and he'd be better seen at the top. He flopped down and prayed he wouldn't be found.

Violet scanned the horizon. She could have sworn she had seen someone. Then a thought popped into her head. Klaus and her were supposed to get the keys to the filing cabinets today. She turned and ran back to the hospital. "Klaus!" she said, "I'm sorry. It's just..." Klaus looked at her oddly then returned to his work. Sunny smiled though.

"Ow!" screamed Isadora but even yelling hurt horribly. "Off, off." she mumbled. It felt like a dumbbell had fell right on her tender ribs. Duncan shot up, "Isadora?! It can't be you! What happened? Who did this to you?"
Isadora smiled weakly, "I didn't use a parachute.." Duncan exploded, "YOU WENT WITHOUT A PARACHUTE! You are such an idiot! Why would you ever do that? You had them right with you!" Her eyes watered again. "I didn't do it on purpose. I was going to jump, but then I took the parachute off and was going to come back in and then.." "What? What happened?" "I heard someone say something and then I fell." Duncan's mind snapped. "Someone pushed you!?! On the self sustaining... there was someone on there!? Right under our nose! Was it Olaf?" He paused. "Isadora?" "Duncan, I need help, now." She let out a tiny breath. "Isadora. Come on, I have to get you to the hospital."
