Last time… Bridge marched past Syd without even sparing her a glance. Syd closed her eyes tightly. She then felt a strong hand on her shoulder. She knows it belonged to Sky. She felt a little squeeze and then the comforting hand lifted off her shoulder. She heard two pairs of footsteps head into the lift. She heaved a sigh. The only thing she could do right now is wait for the answers to come to her.
OOOoooOOOoooOOOoooOOO
Sky's POV
We stepped into the mansion. It was my first time in there. Bridge did tell me that it is big. But I didn't imagine that it would be this big. The floor was dusty. It also held evidence to where Kayla had gone to. We followed her footprints up the spiral staircase. The railings too held evidence that Kayla went up. The thick dust had her hand imprinted in it. I begin to wonder if she went to her room or somewhere else.
I paid less attention to what Bridge was saying. I paid more attention to finding Kayla. I just have to make sure that she'll be safe. When we reached the landing to the second floor, we saw light illuminating the floor. It was coming from a room in the far right of the second floor. I pray that she's in there.
Bridge's POV
Sky was very intent on finding Kayla. I'm beginning to think that Sky held some special feelings for her. He's paying very little attention to me. I'm telling him about what I think about my feelings for Kayla and Syd. All he did was say 'sure' or 'okay'. Half the time, he'd just be nodding away. Even when I said, 'I think I like Syd as well' he would just say 'sure'. But that was no lie. After talking to Sky about this, I have found my decision. Now I just have to apologize to Syd.
Then, we both saw light illuminating the floor. A door in the far right of the second floor was slightly ajar. I just hope Kayla's in there.
Normal POV
Bridge and Sky crept slowly to the room, silently hoping and praying that Kayla was really in the room and that she was safe. Sky approached the door cautiously and pushed the door opened slowly while calling out for Kayla.
Bridge, who was behind him, caught a glimpse of the surroundings of the room. The ceiling was very high. It was about ten meters high. The walls were of faded pink. The windows were decorated with drapes that were once white.
He pushed Sky into the room. They were amazed at what they saw. Musical instruments were lined up against the walls. There were three Fender electric guitars, two jazz bass guitars, a twelve set drum. When the two of them turned to look at their right, they saw a black grand piano and Kayla. She was slumped against the piano keys. That was not a good sign.
"Kayla!" Bridge and sky both called out at the same time. They ran to her. Sky lifted Kayla off the piano and shook her gently. Bridge placed his hand on her forehead and felt for her temperature.
"Sky, she's burning up. We have to get her to Sherman right now!"
Sky and Bridge paced around outside the operation room. Syd and Z arrived minutes after they received the news about Kayla's life being in danger. Both the girls were sitting down on the chairs. They were silent. Each of them have something playing on their mind.
Suddenly, Syd voiced out. "Bridge, I'm sorry for coming out too strong."
Bridge stopped pacing around for a while. So did Sky. "Syd, its not your fault." Bridge said after a few seconds. He turned around and faced Syd. He looked straight into her eyes. "It's mine. I was selfish and only looked at things one way. I'm sorry."
Syd couldn't look away from his eyes. It held so much sincerity and honesty. She felt like she could just jump right into his arms that second and kiss him. "Bridge… I… I don't know what to say."
Bridge walked towards her. Syd couldn't move. She was transfixed. Bridge wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace. He whispered in her ear. "I've given it some thought. I'm not going to lie. I did love Kayla but I didn't know that it was just a stupid crush. What I've been looking or has always been right there in front of me." Syd couldn't hold back the tears any longer. She couldn't believe what she heard.
"Syd, I love you. I love you with all my heart." He hugged Syd tighter. Syd hugged him back with the same force. "I love you too."
Z and Sky were thinking about the same thing. Both of them gave a smirk. It's about time you two.
Then, the 'operation in progress' sign died out. The operation room opened to reveal Sherman and Kayla who was on the bed. Syd and Bridge seized hugging each other and walked over to where Sky and Z were.
"How is she?" asked Z.
"She's fine. The operation was successful. She'll wake up soon." Answered Sherman.
"Will she remember anything that happened this week and the years before this?" Asked Sky.
"She will. But only parts of it. She won't be able to remember everything. The memories would come to her very slowly."
"How's her fever?" Bridge asked.
"Her fever's broken. Like I said before, she'll wake up soon enough."
Sky was silent. All he did was nodded when he heard Sherman's explanations. His eyes were transfixed on Kayla's sleeping form. When she was being pushed away to be housed in her room, his eyes never left her until she disappeared around the corner.
"Looks like things will turn out fine." Commented Z.
"Yea," said Sky who was looking at Bridge and Syd. He gave a small smile. "Things will turn out fine. Besides, the sun will always shine after the rain, right?" With that, he left with Z following behind him.
The days went by uneventfully. Patrols were held but nothing much went on outside of SPD headquarters. At the most were just thefts and minor car accidents. Syd and Bridge became closer. They would be seen together on patrols, lunch breaks and even after work was done. Z went on her normal routine of telling the two love birds to go 'get a room' when she saw them cuddling together in the common room.
Kayla regained most of her old memories. She stayed in SPD headquarters with the rest of the rangers. She spent most of her days in the training room with Kat keeping watch of her progress. Sometimes when Kat had some free time, Kayla would spar with her. Being part feline, Kat was able to fall on her feet and Kayla was very pleased to find a very good sparring partner.
On a particular summer's day, a lawyer visited Sky. The lawyer, Mr Front, presented Sky a will. He told Sky to read it. When Sky finally read it, he was pleasantly surprised. "When did you find out that Kayla was alive?" Sky questioned Mr Front.
"I heard about the news a week ago. My family has been the Adonis's lawyer for generations. I am just here to present her the will. The rest is up to her." Mr Front kept his explanations short and sweet. Sky smiled and nodded his head.
"Well, thank you for coming here. I'm sure that Kayla would be pleased to hear about this." He shook Mr Front's hand. The lawyer gave a curt nod and left Sky's office.
Sky contacted the rangers and Kayla to assemble in his office as ASAP. He even added that it was an 'emergency'.
A/N: Sorry once again that it took so long. There you have it. Review please.
