"Jack, I can understand why you are concerned... You feel guilty over what you said, everyone does it. I fell bad myself, I could've handled the situation better, it's been like this many times. It's completely natural." Jack and Cruger were walking around the base in an aimless route, discussing different matters. It was odd for them both. It seemed to be the first time they had had a private, personal discussion. Cruger had had one with each ranger. Except Jack. Nor was he surprised. It turns out, Jack was a difficult person to persuade.

"I know I fell guilty over what I said, but I just fell more concerned about her. She seemed quite off all day; I could've said something but I never did."

"Everyone has their off days, Jack. Kat was due one anyday, but no-one can tell when it happens, it just does. But there will be a reason for it, there is always one lying behind everyone's mood swings."

"I know. Did you find out why she fainted?"

"No. Felix said that he couldn't find any irregular pattern in her system. When she wakes up, we'll have to ask her what happened, that's if she wants to talk. I highly doubt she'll talk to any of us for the first few days maybe."

"How d'ya think she'll react once she's awake?"

"I'm not sure. She is a hard person to read. Jack, it's been an emotional day. I think you should get some rest. And I do not want to see you out after you are there, do you understand?"

"Yes, Sir" He was being sent to bed? Was Cruger his dad now?

"Good. Off you go then." With that Jack saluted and left. Cruger thought about going back to see Kat again, but dismissed it straight away. He didn't want to wake her. Not yet, anyway, he needed to think up something to say. She wasn't just gonna open up to him straight away, he knew that. But for now, he would also retire into the night. Tomorrow was gonna be an eventful day.

Jack looked at the clock on his nightstand. One-Twenty two. Surely Felix wouldn't still be up. The infirmary was only a few doors away. He was pretty sure he could easily get in. He doubted the door would be locked. He got out of bed, slipping into his shoes. He walked out of his room, peering out into the hallway. All clear. He walked down the left side, scanning for the door that said infirmary. Bingo. There it was written in big, red, bold letters.

He tried to open the door, to find it was locked. Damn it, he thought, banging his fists onto it. He sighed, but shot up and laughed at himself. I am such a dumbass, he thought, and walked straight through the door, Laughing at his lack of initiative.

He couldn't remember which door Kat was in, but he could just look through the small window, although he was sure it was an end room. Twelve doors down,he found the room she was in, and saw her sleeping on her side. She looked like an angel. He was about to push the door open, stopped, then thought. I don't wanna wake her up. So once again he floated through the door. He walked over to her, kneeling down so he could see her face. She was still pale, and still looked ill. He moved a stray hair away from her face. Her eyes began to flutter, and Jack moved back, knocking into the bedside table.

She was beggining to stir now, and brought her injured hand up to her eyes, and rubbed her eyes with it, but winced in pain. She opened her eyes slightly to take a look, and was confused by the shadow casting over her. Looking up, she gasped and sat straight up, moving away from Jack.

"Kat wait-"

"What are you doing here? I don't wanna talk to anyone, I don't wanna talk about this," She was holding up her injured arm."If Cruger told you to calm me down, I suggest you leave, I don't need help." She was stood like she was expecting an attack from him. Jack sighed.

"Kat, I just came to see how you were, Cruger doesn't know I'm here." After those words, he could see Kat loosing the defensive posture.

"Why?"

"Dunno, I was bored." She laughed slightly, and sat on the edge of the bed, holding her knuckles, with a grimace on her face.

"Anger can do damage" Jack said, whilst sitting next to her and putting an arm round her. He could tell she was uncomfortable with it. "Kat, I won't hurt you."

"I know." He saw her wipe a tear from her eye, and moved closer to her. She shouldn't be like this. He couldn't think of a reason she was acting like this. Cruger had said there was something behind it. Whatever it was, he cearly couldn't see it.

"Kat what's wrong?" She made a barely audible laugh at this. She didn't know why, but she saw it as a necessary action.

"Oh, I dunno, I suppose its just one of those times where ya just need a good cry."

"I don't believe its just that. You know you can tell me." Why was Jack playing father duck; since when did her care about anyone but himself and Z?

"Well, apart from what a said in the café, there is nothing else wrong. She saw him give her that really annoying sympathetic smile, the one the waitress, and Doggie had used. Oh, she hated it, but it looked good on him.

"Well,If you ever need to talk, I'll always be here." At this she laughed even more. Words of such care sounded so odd coming from Jack, it sounded like Boom getting something right. Very occasional.

"Sure, yeah" But she stopped laughing as she felt him come nearer, and there was a weird atmosphere gathering between the small space separating them. She turned to him, and it must have only been a second, before Jack closed the room between their lips. After a few moments of bliss, Kat pulled away, a look of shock all over her face. She was not expecting that, of all things.

"You really do care, don't you?" Jack smiled lightly, and placed a kiss on her cheek, making her blush

"I sure do."
