'To Rhys, it was nice to finally hear Sasha again. He wanted to hold her hand forever. He couldn't place it, but something about her being there with him made everything bad disappear. The price for her care didn't matter to him. He would make the money, somehow. The cost wasn't important.
To Sasha, the sight of Rhys in the room with her made the aching pain in her side go away. She was glad the first few words she heard was the familiar randomness and awkwardness of Rhys when she regained conciousness. She felt bad she was costing her friends almost 5 grand. She insisted to go home, but Rhys didn't want to risk anything. He already almost lost her once, if her wound opened again, who knows what could happen. For such a small dagger it left a decently large aftermath.
Rhys was distracted. He nearly forgot to send Vaughn the co-ordinates of the hospital. Vaughn must have called at least 3 times. He relayed what his trusty Robot Arm told him to Vaughn. Fiona asked how Sasha was doing, Rhys nearly said she was fine when Sasha held her index finger to her mouth. Rhys got the message. "She's still unknown. I'll tell you if anything happens" He told them. He hung up and turned his Ear Piece off. "What're you planning?" Rhys asked with some curiosity. Sasha smiled back saying "It's gonna be good. Can you handle a little acting?" "Uh.. Nope." "Just play along when they come.." Rhys had no idea what was going to happen, he remembered his acting skills were a little,
er.. Quite terrible. "I'll try. No guarantees... So how are you feeling right now?" Rhys changed the subject. "Rhys, if you keep asking me this question I think I'll go insane. I told you, I'm fiiine. There's been... worse. I guess. Just that I've never been to a hospital before." "I'm sorry. I just don't want anything to happen. You did just take those possibly important tubes and needles out of you without asking the doctor." "Well, yeah. Speaking of, what a doctor. He hasn't even checked on his patient."
Rhys thought maybe the doctor knew he was there. But he was no trained professional. "Did you look at it yet? J-Just to make sure..." Rhys asked. Sasha, who never thought to do such an action, lifted her robe to reveal the nasty injury. "GAH OKAY! That looks pretty... bad! You're saying that doesn't hurt?!" Sasha giggled. "Not as bad as how I feel about the price. I'm telling you, I would feel better if I could just go home." They both knew it was better for her to stay.
Sasha didn't want to cost them all of their money. "You're worth a better place to get taken care of at. Home is pretty far from another hospital so we shouldn't go there for at least a few days. Please, just a few days?" Rhys begged. Sasha hated when he begged. "... Alright! Alright. Fine. But 2 days is all. then I'm going home, if I have to walk." Sasha reluctantly agreed. Rhys was relieved. "But why do you care about me so much? I haven't done anything for you." Rhys was not relieved. "Y-you exist. That's a-all I need." He answered with the confidence of a tiger with a panda's teeth. He met her gaze after he looked up from the ground.
"Well, come on." Sasha said as she shifted to a sitting position in the bed. "Where are you going?" Rhys stood up and approached her. "I'm hungry." She stated. "You're just gonna up and walk out?" "Rhys. I am hungry." "But you have to wait for a doctor to bring you food. See that button over there?" He pointed, she looked. "Oh yeah, I heard people talking on that. I guess I need to push it?" "Yep. You can't play with it, it's only meant for important stuff. Just tell them you wa-" he was interrupted as she immediately pushed the button and said "I want food." A robotic voice said "Who is this? Asking would be nice. I'm not a slave." "Oh right. Sorry. Please give me food." "Thank you. Room number?" She motioned for Rhys to go check. "52." "52." "52?" "52." "We have Jelly, more Jelly... and Jelly. A wide selection. Please do take your time." "Hmmmm. The Jelly sounds promising. But I think I have to choose Jelly." "Excellent choice! Flavor? Quantity?" "You have one blue raspberry?" "I do see a blue right here. Sending now! Enjooyyyy!" Next to the button,a seemingly invisible until now small elevator for items to be transported to rooms. She took the Jello out and turnedto lay back down. "See? I don't need you to help me with everything. Figured that out by myself!"
Again, neglecting her condition, she did what she was used to doing in any old bed. She hopped backwards and upon impact regretted it. Her screams sent bad visions to Rhys. The blood on her gown scared him even more. "Sasha! Oh my god oh my god!" A few doctors entered the room and saw the two, without the blood they wouldn't be able to tell who needed help. They rolled her bed out of the room and rushed off somewhere else. Rhys tried to follow but lost the group with how fast they were moving. He felt he was in a maze, and it wasn't only the mass amounts of turns and twists. His mind raced with how fast everything just happened. To top it all off, he heard the familiar voices of his other 2 friends,
which called his name as he stood stiff. They approached him as he turned to face them. "Why are you out here? I told you to stay with Sasha. Which room is she in?" "Well, convenient timing. They just rushed her out of that room over there. She jumped to get back on her bed and she started to bleed again. "You just let her!?" "Yes Fiona, I allowed her to jump to her bed when I was at least 5 feet from her." "She's right, Rhys. You gotta protect your gal from the unexpected." "Wh- wai- what! You told Vaughn!?" "Why not." "Yeah, you trusted Fiona with such valuable information over me? I could have teased you so much!" "Don't worry, Fiona's already done that. We should find Sasha now. Not like we have any leads but it's better than nothing." The group started down the hall to the first of 5 sets of rooms, each parallel from each other.'
