Tbone could hear talking on the other side of the door. As well as whimpering. He was worried that Razor was still suffering. He barely opened the door enough to look inside. He could see a woman standing at a lab table, writing something down. He also saw Razor straped to a bed, with his mask removed. Tbone tensed as seh began to turn his way. Suddenly Jake began to cough severly, he got her attention. as she began to examine him Tbone slipped into the room and snuck up on her. Jakes coughing fit seemed to get worse, keeping the womans full attention on him. Tbone grabbed a case off the lab table and hit her hard over the head, knocking her unconscious. Tbone leaned over Jake, undoing the straps. Jake's coughing fit deminished into nothing.
" Jake, How are feeling?" Tbone asked, very concerned for his partner.
" I've felt better buddy." Jake said softly.
" Do you think you can walk?" Tbone asked, pulling Jake to his feet.
" I'll try." Jake said but his knee's buckled when Tbone let go.
Tbone caught him and gently set him on the bet as he looked to the woman on the floor. He then noticed Jake's mask and glovatrix setting on the lab table. He grabbed them and gave them to Jake, who put them on.
"What should we do with her?" Tbone asked.
" Just forget her. All I want to do s go home." Jake said trying to stand again. Once again his knee.s buckled. Tbone caught him again.
" Are you sure Razor? She saw your face." Tbone said.
" Yeah, and handing her over to Feral would be like unmasking ourselves." Razor said.
" Your right." Tbone said looking at his tired partner.
Razor tried to walk on his own again, this time he got a few steps before his knee's buckled again. He caught himself on the table. He leaned against it a moment before Tbone picked Razor up in his arms. razor looked at him then closed his tired eye's. Tbone smiled at him and carried the exhausted Razor to the Turbokat. He was very careful as he set Razor in his place. He flew smooth and slow. When the returned to the hanger he carefully carried Razor to a bench and laid him there while he changed out if his Swat Kat gear. As he was changing his communicater beeped. He didn't hesitate to answer.
" Hello Ms. Briggs." Tbone said in a tired but happy tone.
" Did you find him Tbone?" Callie asked.
" Yep, He's sleeping right now. He's been through a lot so he'll be resting for a while." Tbone said.
"Oh, thank goodness he's alright." Callie said, relieved.
" I'll talk to you later Ms.Briggs. I need to get some sleep myself." Tbone said.
" Alright. Bye Tbone." Callie said.
Tbone turned of the communiater. He finished changing and returned to see Jake awake and trying to walk under his own power (with a little help from the wall). Chance walked over and gave him a hand. Jake was soon changed and in bed. Chance wasn't far behind. Chance suddenly notice Jake hadn't coughed once after he knocked that woman out.
" Jake, did you by any chance see me be for your coughing fit." Chance asked.
" Yeah, it didn't start out as a distraction, I really did cough. But then I noticed how distracted she was and Kept it up so you could sneak up on her." Jake said.
Chance gave a soft laugh, then looked over at Jake who was asleep. They both got the rest they needed.
About two weeks after the whole ordeal and Jake was begining to ge back to his old self. He was still a little stiff, and would suddenly feel weak when he pushed himself to hard. But he was getting better. He was even making a lot of noise like he used to when coming up with new things or repairing things. Chance was gald that he was returning to normal.
" I had to say I missed the noise didin't I." Chance said ot himself. But he was happy to have Jake back. Even though he waqs annoying.
