Nigel sat on the floor of the cold hospital hallway. Can it really be called a hospital when
all the nurses and doctors are agents? Nigel wasn't thinking, for the last three hours all
he had been was useless. Angela came to sit next to him on the floor, "Ni?" Nigel turned
to look at Angela. She had been acting as nurse to Sydney's operation; "I won't lie to
you she's in a coma. She was to weak from blood loss and torture and the gunshot just
made matters worse but she is also strong and you have to pray that that is enough to pull
her through." Nigel lifted his head up to look at Angela, "Can I see her, please?" Angela
stood and held out her hand to Nigel. He held onto it like a raft. Her information was the
only thing keeping him together at that moment and he couldn't let her go just yet. "Ni I
don't know when she'll wake up but she can't stay here." Nigel stepped away from
Angela and took the chair next to Sydney's right side of the bed. If Angela was still
talking he had stopped listening, all he heard were Sydney's labored breaths and his own
heart breaking at the pain he had caused her.
Angela walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. She had once thought
that she might have a chance at something with Ni but now seeing him with Sydney she
knew that there would never be anyone else but her. She had to get to Gets and tell him
the news so that they could get the Sydney issue arranged.
"Syd if you can hear me I want you to know that I never meant to leave you. It hurt to
much to do but it was for the best." Nigel began to stroke Sydney's red hair with his left
hand as he still held his right hand intertwined with hers. "I like your new hair but I
prefer your original. Syd you can't end like this you have to wake up for me. All that I
do know is with the belief that you are safe and Syd this isn't safe." Nigel held Sydney's
hand in between his two and kissed the tip of her fingers. "Syd I hope you understand
that I can't stay with you and you can't stay here but please come back." Nigel stood
from his perch and kissed Sydney one last time on the forehead and walked towards the
door. He had left her once and he would do it again for her own safety. She would be
taken care of for the rest of her life and he in turn would make those you hurt her suffer,
starting with the warehouse captives. He turned to look at her one more time and
whispered his goodbye to her and opened the door.
Sydney was in a meadow enjoying the bright warm sun and the sound of laughter in the
background. She could feel herself laugh and here someone else's but she couldn't place
it. Then it went dark and the sky stormy and she heard the wind laugh at her taunting her
that Nigel was alive. She was trying to hide from the lies. He was dead. Long gone
from her life. Her security blanket gone. Her savior lost forever in a random act of
violence. No her sunshine was not warming any one especially not her. Then she heard
it, his voice begging her to wake up. No the wind is playing with me, there it was again
asking her to come back. It was him not the wind. She ran. The wind was pushing her
and she let it help her gain speed towards, towards what she didn't know but it was
getting colder and she needed to get to the warmth soon before it left her forever.
"Nigel" it was a mere whisper but it was enough to have him running to her bedside
taking her hand in his and kissing it for all it was worth, his life.

First and foremost, VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY + infinity sorry that I haven't written
life just caught up with me (work, home, family, etc.)
Hope you like the new chapter. Well it's 2:30 a.m. time for bed.
I will try to have another chapter up by the end of this week.
