Richard was running and running through the rain. He didn't know where he was going and he didn't much care where he was going. He just wanted to get away from the hospital. If seamed like he had been running all day, but was really only an hour.

Soon he came to abandoned wear house on the pier and decided to stay there for the night. He found some cloth that he covered himself in to keep from getting cold. Richard slept in a 3 foot tall and long box for the night. He soon fell asleep thinking about Kori.

At the hospital

"Ok it's been an hour! I can't just stay here and let my best friend run off in the middle of a storm. I'm going out to find him," Roy said as he stood up.

"Roy wait. Richard is strong and can take care of himself. He just needs some time alone," Rachel said.

"Alright, but if he's not back by tomorrow I'm going after him," Roy said, crossing his arms and sitting down. Just then a nurse came into the waiting room.

"She's starting to wake," the nurse said and then showed them the way to Kori's room. When they got to her room they all stood around her bed waiting for her to wake up. Kori slowly opened her eyes to a dim room and looked around her. She saw her friends and some people that weren't her friends, she even saw Carmen.

"Where's Richard?" Kori asked Rachel who was to her right.

"We don't know, are you ok?" Rachel said with tearing eyes.

"Yea I'm fine and what do you mean you don't know?" Kori asked, sitting up in her bed.

"He ran off after he got in a fight with Roy," Karen said who was to her left.

"Why did you get into a fight?" Kori asked Roy.

"Because he pointed a gun to Kate," Roy told her.

"Why did her point a gun at Kate?" Kori then asked her.

"Will you stop asking questions?!" Gar yelled.

"Sorry, so Richard is gone?" Kori asked.

"Yes, Richard is gone," Victor said.

"Then you should try to find him!" Kori said.

"That's what I said! But Rachel said he could take care of himself," Roy said in a mocking voice and then Rachel hit him on the arm.

"What was that for?" Roy asked, rubbing his arm.

"What happened to Xavier?" Kori asked, finally remembering everything that happened to her over the week.

"Richard killed him to save you," Kate said finally speaking from the chair she was sitting in. She looked as if she had been crying for hours because her face was stained with tear trails.

"What?! Richard would never kill anyone!" Kori yelled and then nurses came rushing in to calm her.

"But he did, he looked into my eyes and said he killed him," Kate said and then walked out the door.

Later that night:

"Richard wouldn't kill somebody for me, would he?" Kori thought to herself. It was 11 and everybody was in bed. Her friends had gone home and promised to come back to see her in the morning, but little did they know Kori wouldn't be there the next morning.
