AN here's the next chapter! Hope u like,
Becker sat unmoving in the chair looking at the broken woman in the bed next to him. A women he thought dead for months, who's screams plagued his nightmares lay their. Connor sat on the window ledge and fiddled with a pen nervously,
"How are you Mr. Page?" asked a nurse as she came in Connor turned from gazing out the window.
"Umm yeah I'm alright worried about my sister." He said and remembered to get into Sarah's room they needed to be family. Becker easily covered as a fianncee and Connor had stumbled over saying Sarah was his sister and Abby was his wife. Lester took the part of an uncle.
"You know your uncle doesn't look much like either of you." The nurse said as she took Sarah's vitals. "Well she's not out of the woods yet but she'll recover." Becker closed his eyes and sighed in relief. She's gonna be OK "You'll be back to planning your wedding in no time love." The nurse said and left the room.
"You ok Becker?" Connor asked and swung his legs over the ledge so they hit the wall.
"I think so." Becker replied "You better get some sleep." Connor said as he took a closer look at Becker who by now was haggered from the lack of sleep.
"I'm fine." Becker answered but rubbed his eyes. Beside him cups of coffee overfilled the wastebasket. Connor just shrugged and got up
"I'm going to tell Abby." He said and left the room, Leaving Becker alone with Sarah once more.
Abby was sitting in the canteen looking into her cup of tea. The brew had gone cold by now the only thing it was good for was to look at.
"Hey." Looking up she saw Connor coming toward her and sit down in the other chair.
"Did they say anything?" She asked hopefully.
"Yeah, she's probably going to recover." Connor said and Abby let out a breath of air in relif.
"What do you think happened?" She asked the back of his neck Connor replied
"Dont really know anythign could have I guess, becker wont tell me much."
"Is he still up their?" Abby asked
"Yeah, wont leave." Abby bit her lip worried
"She needs to survive or I don't know how he's gonna carry on." She looked down and Connor took her hand
"Are you alright?" he asked Nodding Abby shrugged as if to saw 'good as i can be'
"And you?"
"I will be once she's up." Connor replied. It was late at night when Becker had passed out on the recling chair in Sarah's room. Connor and Abby had left a few hours ago and now James Lester stood by Sarah's bed. Picking up her chart he read in the dim light
Broken Femur, Deep cuts to lower legs, half her left foot ripped off, fractured pelvis, concussion, dislocated shoulder, internal bleeding, broken rib, GSW to the left leg,Large cut to th skull. The injures were amazing at he was shocked to see her now in this bed she still wasn't awake but they had taken her off the ventilator and a mask covered her face making sure she got enough oxygen. Her one arm had a large I.V sticking out and her broken leg was covered in a cast. A bandage wound its way around her head and multiple swatches of gauze covered her. He hadn't believed it when his phone rang and Connor was blubbering that Sarah Page was found by the anomaly. He knew no body had been recovered by the team as it was to dangerous to follow the predator.
But now as he sat in the room as Sarah's uncle he still couldn't believe it. She was alive and as hurt as she was she survived. That was something he always knew she could do. She was a fighter from the beginning. And when she first joined he knew she really would fit in. An incredibly intelligent young woman, who didn't listen to orders and was as stubborn as a mule was a perfect member for the ARC team. He had thought that over a year ago that member was gone, and that he had truly failed as the leader. He had lost a great number of operatives, Cutter, Stephan, Jenny, Abby, Connor and Danny. And while some had returned and some had left on their own accord death had taken a few. Cutter , Stephan, Sarah. they had all died to help the team. But now one name could be taken off his list of deaths. Sarah Page was breathing so close to him His mind drifted to the lonely grave that housed an empty coffin. How was he going to cover that up? he was glad for once that she had no family as it would be so much easier to have Sarah alive now and he wouldn't have to inform the family at their daughter was not really dead but alive. setting a bundle of flowers in a vase he sat on a straight backed chair. Moving his hand to the bed he took her hand in his hoping that she would feel it. Hours passed and in the dawn as light appeared in the window. A light squeeze woke him up. Bolting up from his bent position on the bed looking down he saw the golden hand that was still holding onto his move.
"Becker!" he exclaimed and the young soilder woke with a start to see Sarah's eyes open.
