Previously...
Kai glanced down at the bandages over the two bullet wounds and shrugged.
'I'm fine,' he said.
Hilary smiled and climbed into the bed beside him. Kai moved over making room for her then turned on his side so they faced eachother. Hilary looked into Kai's crimson eyes and kissed him softly then pulled away quickly with a look of annoyance.
'If you ever tell me to run again while some one has a gun to your head, you are so dumped!'
Kai smiled and pulled her closer. Hilary tried to keep a stern face.
'I'm serious! Don't you look at me like that! You think just because you smile at me I'm gonna-'
Kai kissed her on the lips then pulled back smiling. Hilary felt like melting.
'W-what was I...saying?'
'Nothing,' said Kai locking lips with her again.
----
Now...
Kai stared at the dulled white ceiling of his hospital room. It was nearing 1am but Kai still wasn't able to sleep. He couldn't shake the terrible feeling that welled inside of his chest. He had got to visit Tala that day. The red haired Russian was awfully chipper for some one who'd been shot in the chest. But Kai knew better. Tala only acted that happy when he was either sadistically happy, amused or inraged. He had flatly said in a calm and cheerful voice:
"If anyone ever shoots me again... I am going to cut their fucking heads off and hoist it up a flag hole. Of course, that would come after I slowly saw each of their fingers off with a rusty butterknife and disembowel them."
The doctor that was present at that moment chuckled at the comment. He obviously thought Tala was joking. Kai almost laughed at the doctor.
Hiro, Ray and Daichi had been released earlier that weak. They'd both visited the two boys, along with Hilary, Tyson, Max, Mr Dickenson, Shana and Mariah. Both of Max's parents had made a full recovery and not a moment too soon either.
Max had stopped eating and wasn't sleeping. His worry overriding his bodys desire to eat and rest. Kai had to admit that he had felt sorry for Max. Kai could hardly remember his own parents so the knowledge that they were dead didn't really grief him. He had felt a horrible pang of sadness but that had passed and no tears were shed. Max on the other hand had been with his parents since he was a baby, and to see the two people he cared so much about lying in a hospital bed, it would have been terrible. Kai was actually impressed Max had maintained so strong throughout the whole ordeal. He was a lot stronger than a lot of people gave him credit for.
Kai turned his head on the soft pillow and stared out the windows venetian blinds at the midnight blue sky. Tiny white diamonds glittered in midair, suspended there for the night and casting the dull glow over the slumbering city. Kai smiled. Hilary was out there in that city, under the same star filled sky, sleeping blissfully. Kai was fed up with lying in a hospital bed. He wanted to get out and spend time with his girlfriend. He didn't understand why he couldn't be released. So what if he was shot? That was two weeks ago. Tala was also beginning to become restless. His doctor, Timothy Fletcher, had walked in on him training, soaking with sweat and doing push-ups with one hand. Fletcher had threatened to strap Tala to the bed until his wounds had healed properly... Tala had threatened to bash him if he even tried it.
Neither boys liked being in the hospital and everyone knew it. Well, every one knew Tala hated it. Kai maintained a stoney silence and glared at every doctor and nurse. Tala on the other hand was trying to pick fights, flirting with nurses to let him go, bribing the doctors and making daily death threats to Fletcher. Not to mention he said he hated the hospital once every ten minutes... at the very least. All the while keeping a humourless smile pasted on his handsome face. Kai honestly thought that Tala was going to go insane if he didn't get out of this hospital. He himself felt the same way.
----
Tala layed awake in his own hospital bed too. His right wrist handcuffed to the bed railing. He glared at it then sat up.
'Maybe it wasn't a good idea to try and walk out.' He thought sheepishly.
He flexed his arms and tugged at the cuffs. One of the many things he hated more than hospitals was being chained or tied to something like a dog. His wrists still had the scars from his time in Balkov Abbey. Tala thought of the bastard that put the cuffs on him.
"Fletcher..." He growled angrily. "That fucking fucked up fucker."
"Could you have fit any more profanities into that sentence?"
Tala looked up. Kai was standing in the doorway, smirking.
"Sure I could of." Tala replied. "I'm still in a good mood at the moment. Why do you get to wear your casual clothes? I'm still stuck in this fucking dress!"
"I wasn't shot as bad as you. And I'm not cuffed to my bed."
Kai walked in a sat on the chair beside Tala's bed.
"Do you have any idea when we'll be getting out of here?" Tala asked.
"When Fletcher says we can."
Tala grumbled.
"I have to get the hell out of here! I hate this room. I hate this bed! I have to get out of here and do something constructive! I can already feel the body fats building up inside me! Slowing down my movements and making me fatter!"
"I never thought of you as one of those people who complain openly about their weight."
"Shut up. If I don't stay fit and strong then I'll get slower and that will affect my blading performance."
"I suppose." Kai muttered. "I came here to ask you something, not to listen to your bitching... Somethings wrong."
Tala's face turned more serious.
"I feel it too."
"I thought you would." Kai said. "That's why your still awake. Neither of us can sleep."
Tala nodded.
"Maybe we're just being paranoid."
"Yeah..." Kai said dubiously, "Maybe..."
"Oi," Tala quickly brought Kai's attention back to him.
He tugged his restrained wrist suggestively.
"You think you could get me something to get this off with?"
"What would be the point?" Kai asked, "Fletcher would only put it back on you in the morning."
Tala growled and began muttering under his breath. Kai managed to hear the few words;
"Old paedophile... chaining me up... kick his fucking ass..."
Kai sniggered.
"Shut up." Tala said irritably.
He sighed and finally gave up, slumping back into his pillows.
"Why have we been kept here so long? When I was shot before in Russia by a drunk robber, I was let out in just little more than a week. This is just rediculous."
"You know Tala, some people stay in hospital for as long as a month when they're shot. Most people who are shot in the chest though manage to get let out within the first day they come here, then they get escorted away in a pine box. You were lucky."
"Yeah yeah what ever." Tala said wearily. "Hey, can you go get me a Mars Bar or some chips from the vending machines in the lobby? I'm starving and this hospital food is plastic tasting healthy crap."
Kai's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. Tala smiled.
"You chose not to let me out of these cuffs."
Kai sied and stood up.
"My money is in my bag over there."
Kai walked over to the black bag on the opposite side of the room which contained all of Tala's belongings and spare clothes. He pulled ou Tala's wallet and turned to face him.
"Three for the food," He announced, taking out three coins, "And ten for me."
He took a note out of Tala's wallet and threw it back into the red-heads bag.
"Hey! Put that back!"
"Consider this compensation for making me travel all the way to the lobby." Kai smirked.
"It's not my fault this Goddamn hospital is so health conscious!"
Kai ignored the rantings of his friend and exited the room, heading for the lobby on the floor below. Tala waited patiently, stifling a yawn. He closed his eyes and rested for a moment. The true reason for his irritation and moodiness wasn't only ue to being contained in the hospital, but because he could feel danger coming. Kai could sense it too. They were both nervous. If they were trapped in the hospital when danger came for them, they knew innocents would be hurt. Sick and injured innocents mainly. They couldn't let that happen. He heard his door open again.
"That was fast."
He looked around and noticed Doctor Timothy Fletcher standing in the doorway. Tala grunted.
"You. What do you want?!"
Fletcher strode forward, his face lit onimously by the dull moonlight from the window and his dark eyes peering over his glasses. Fletcher put his hand into his white and and brought it out, bringing with it a gun which he held at Tala's head. Tala could only think of one sentence.
"Oh fuck, not again."
----
Kai felt an eerie feeling in his stomach. He had almost made it to the lobby when he stopped. He looked back the way he came, suddenly feeling more tense. He could't explain the feeling. He attempted to head for e lobby again but the feeling was consuming him. He growled in frustration then started back towards Tala's room.
----
Tala was looking straight down the wrong end of the black automatic but didn't show any fear.
"Geez doc, didn't know this was a part of my treetment."
"Boris said to say hi." Fletcher said with a slim smile.
"What?!" Tala looked pass the gun. "So the bastard survived. I can fix that."
"No..." Fletcher said almost humerously, "You can't."
Before the doctor could pull the trigger, Tala's hand whipped put and grabbed Fletchers wrist, pulling him in so the gun barrel aimed pass his head and down into the matress. In the same quick movement, Tala drove his knee up into his chest. Tala didn't give Fletcher time to catch his breath. The teen grabbed the hair on the back of the young doctors head and slammed it down into the bed railing. Fletcher crumpled senseless to the floor, releasing the gun which Tala scooped up cheerfully.
"I got me a shiny new gun!"
He put the safety on and placed it on the bed. He reached down and took Fletcher by the collar and hauled him up to search his pockets.
"Come on!" Tala said quietly. "Keys, paperclips anything!"
Tala finally felt the metalic feel of a key and pulled it out, smirking. He shoved the key into the cuffs, both on his wrist and on the bed railing and the metal restraints flew off. The russian rubbed his wrist nonchalantly then walked over to his back, pulling out his usual clothing. His icy eyes scanned the contents of the bag and saw his beyblade, Wolborg still strapped safely in a small compartment. He quickly got dressed and retrieved his new gun at the same moment that Kai walked through the door. Kai examined the room quietly. Tala pulled the doctor up and cuffed his hands in the metal clamps.
"So you really did bash the doctor."
"He's with Boris." Tala said flatly. "We have to get out of here. Now."
Kai smirked.
"My thoughts exactly."
"We're taking this guy with us. He can tell us where Boris is."
Kai didn't question him. Tala knew what he was doing. Kai stepped out and headed down towards his own room.
"Wait Kai."
The crimson eyed teen waited for his friend. He could hear Tala dragging Fletcher along the floor with little effort.
"We have to stay together." Tala said. "These guys are loaded and are those short conversation types."
"So they're like us."
Tala smirked. "They aren't that good."
Kai suddenly began to run, a horrifying thought coming to him.
"Hurry! If Fletcher was with Boris then he'd have access to our personal files which include home addresses. Hilary lives with me!"
----
Hilary slept peacefully in Kai's huge bed, hugging the spare pillow close to her body, trying to make up for Kai's absence. She was completely unaware of the danger that was heading for her.
