Sarah didn't hear the class phone ring in English because she had her headphones on. As a result of not being able to read, she couldn't do silent reading like the rest of the class. While they were all glancing at their novels, reading the words and flipping the pages, Sarah was listening to her book through the device that Kelly, Brody and Preston had created for her at the beginning of the year. It worked just as well as reading.

So when she felt Mrs. Finch tap her on the shoulder, she jumped. She removed her headphones and looked up.

"Principal Hastings called for you," she said and the whole class looked up from their books.

"Ooh," they teased her, but she ignored them. She knew she was due a little extra help in school so she could complete all her assignments and thought this would just be an update on what to expect for the rest of the year. She grabbed her bag and made her way down to the office. She frowned when she saw her uncle Shane standing there with Principal Hastings. As she reached up to hug him, she felt something bubble in her stomach. This couldn't be good. He was supposed to be in Blue Bay.

"I've signed you out," he said. "Do you have your stuff?"

"What's going on?" Sarah asked. "Why are you here?"

"I'll tell you in the car, alright," he put his arm around her shoulder and escorted her out of the school. Once they were in the parking lot, Sarah noticed that Shane hadn't driven his car to school. Instead, they climbed into a new car and once Sarah was inside, she saw her uncle Porter had come along as well.

"You remember Porter, right?" Shane asked and Sarah nodded.

"Where are we going?" Sarah said. "What are you two doing in town? Where's mom?"

The brothers looked to each other, then back at Sarah.

"Jenny's in the hospital," Shane said. "She was at home when she had a heart attack."

"What?" Sarah cried out and practically jumped through the roof of the car. Shane reached back and put his hand on her leg.

"Look, it's fine. She made it to the hospital in time. A friend, Dane, was able to drive her."

"Brody's dad?"

"They're still running a few tests, but the worst is behind us," Porter says. "When they let visitors in, she'll want to know we've all got her back."

"Why did she have a heart attack? How… I mean, but she's…"

"These things just happen sometimes, Sarah," Shane explained. "There's no rhyme or reason to it. But Jenny's tough. She'll bounce back."

"Buckle up," Porter said. "We'll be there in no time."

-Ninja-Steel-

Dane paced back and forth in the hospital, just waiting for news. He hadn't known Jenny long, but he felt invested. She was one of his son's best friends mother's and in the short time he had been back, he felt a connection with her. They were the only two Ranger parents for the current team who knew they were Ranger parents.

And he didn't want to come back into this world only to lose something else. Be it a friend, family, or a family's friend.

"Dane?" he turned when he heard his name and saw two men walking in, with Sarah rushing past them. She grabbed onto his arms as she looked up at him, desperate for information.

"Where is she?"

"They're still confirming the heart attack. They want to rule out everything else," he said. "You'll be able to see her soon."

"But what happened?" Sarah asked and Dane shook his head. He glanced up to Shane and Porter as he answered.

"I barely knew. She's the one who told me to take her to the hospital."

"You did the right thing," Shane said and pat Dane on the shoulder. "So there are no updates?"

"None yet," Dane said. He looked to Sarah, who had taken over pacing the floor, trying to contemplate how this could be happening and Dane felt his heart going out to her. Jenny had quickly told him how her husband, Sarah's father, had recently passed and how tough it had been for both. Dane remembered how distraught both his boys had been when their mother passed, and they had been barely old enough to completely understand what that meant.

Porter went to find a worker to see if he couldn't find out more. When he did, Dane looked to Shane.

"Look, I get now isn't the time but… You are Sensei Clarke, right?"

"You know about me?"

"Yeah, yeah," Sarah muttered and quickly glanced to the two men. "Shane is a sensei at the Wind Ninja Academy where Dane trained. Nice to meet you both, we're all Rangers, don't say too much in front of Porter. Is mom going to be okay?"

"Sarah, you just need to be patient," Shane said with a bit of laugh as Sarah's pace turned into a skip. Her nervous energy was building up and while he could understand her desperation for answers, she couldn't rush things. He then turned back to Dane, "So you're a Wind Ninja, huh?"

"I trained at the academy until Aiden was born. Levi, rather," Dane corrected himself. "Sorry, that takes some getting used to, you know?"

"It must," Shane nodded. "You know, I do think I remember you. You were at the top of your class, right?"

"One of the best," Dane answered. "You know, I always kind of thought, if I still attended the Academy, I would have been the red Ninja Ranger."

"Uh, no, dude, see, I had the scroll of destiny that picked me long before anything happened," Shane said. "You may have been the best in your class, but I was Ranger good."

"You think?" Dane chuckled. "How about a spar when we get out of here. See who really should have been the red Wind Ninja Ranger."

"You are so on," Shane smirked.

Sarah sat in a chair and rolled her eyes, "You have to be kidding me. Mom's having a heart attack, maybe dying, and all you two can think to do is puff your chests and fight?"

"She's not going to die, Sarah," Shane shook his head.

"You don't know that," Sarah frowned. "No one knows what's going on because all anyone knows right now is that we'll know something soon!"

As Shane was about to try and console his niece, a doctor finally stepped out.

"Mrs. Thompson is ready for visitors."
