Spider woke to find something in his throat. As he went to grab it someone grabbed his arm and held it down on his chest. Then swain's form appeared leaning above him.

"Sorry spider that has to stay"

With a nod of his head swain let go of his arm and moved so that he was sitting next to him. After a minute of silence the co and x walked in the room.

"Spider" the co said with a nod, spider nodded his head back then went back to counting the tiles on the roof. The co walked towards swain and asked how spider was going.

"He is doing well sir should be up and about in no time"

"That's good….." the co never got to finish his sentence as buffer came running in the room and straight to spider.

"Hey spider how you going"

All spider could do was nod he head as the ventilator was stopping he from speaking.

"That's good, swain when he get this out"

"Now if we call the doctor"

Swain then hit a button on the side of the bed and 1 minute later the doctor walked in.

" ah MRS Webb you're a wake lets take that out and get you drinking some water shall we" the doctor then turned off the ventilator and then asked spider to cough as he pulled out the tube. When the tube was off spider was cough some much that buffer had to get him to sit up so that he could drink. The water was so good down spider's throat that he started to gulp it down so fast the buffer had to pull it away and tell him to drink slower.

The doctor was checking his vitals then he went to walk out the door when the co asked how he was and when he can get out.

"He can leave now if he wants too, and yes he is perfectly fine just not too much lifting"

"Thank you doctor"

Spider was up so fast that buffer and swain had no time get the cup that was falling to the floor.

"Spider get back in bed now so that swain can get the forms signed so you can leave" the co said.

So spider walking back to the bed and sat down and waited for swain to come back with the forms so he could leave. When swain came back spider started to get dress it his clothes that were at the end of his bed. When he was fully dress, they all walked out and head to the ship. As they were walking in the car park swain asked spider if he ever got hurt again that he would tell them.

"Sure swain"

When spider was cuffing the captain's son he slashed at spider who dogged two swings before getting cut on the arm. The cut was as longas his arm and hurt a lot. After buffer had knock out the captain and cuffed him he turned to look at spider who was lying on the floor holding his arm.

"Swain I need you spider is hurt"

Swain was at spider's side in seconds to see how bad it really was. When swain moved spider sleave he saw how bad it really was. He quickly pulled down the slave and went to talk to the x.

"Ma'am we need to get back to the ship right away"

"Why swain what is wrong"

"Spider is hurt really bad, he got cut with a fishing knife it is as long as his arm"

"Okay let's get back and get him treated"

With that swain went back to spider that was looking really bad.

"Spider, spider mate look at me we are going now okay, do you think you can walk"

"No"

"That's okay buffer…"

Buffer was all ready a head of him and was all ready picking him up and taking him the boat. When they got back the co was waiting for them. When he spider he ran down the steps and went to talk to swain.

"Swain what happened"

"The captain cut spider with a fishing knife, the cut is about as long as his arm and he has lost lots of blood sir"

"Okay get him down the ward room"

Buffer had not left spider's side all day, so when spider woke he was the first person to get to his side.

"Hey spider how do you feel"

"Fine buffer, how long have you been here buffer"

"All day why"

"Why "

"Because you're like the little brother I did not have and I hate seeing you hurt"

Just then swain walked and told spider that he agrees with buffer and that he should be fine in a couple of days.
