A/N: Sorry for not updating for the last few months. My laptop got hit with a nasty virus and now have to get it repaired. Anyway, I don't own RVB.
I pulled into the valet parking at Venice Hospital and we all piled out of the van. I threw the keys at the valet as we ran into the main waiting room. We bolted down the maze-like corridors and up to 3rd floor where the doors to Post-Op were. An unarmed security guard stopped us before we could enter. "Whoa there, where do you three are going?" he asked us.
"I'm John Cusick. I'm the brother of the one who was brought in a few moments ago with a massive gunshot wound to the stomach. It's critical that I see him now." I lied.
"And these two?" he inquired, pointing to the two super soldiers behind me.
"They are two of my bodyguards. This is Cub and Frag." I said pointing to Caboose and Epsilon.
"Well, I can't let you in until I have the approval of the doctor and have positi..." he started to say before Caboose leaned forward and flicked the guard in the temple. The guards eyes rolled up and he hit the ground with a thud.
I shot Caboose a look and he simply said "He will be fine. He will awake within the hour and the last half hour will just be a foggy blur." Then he stepped forward and held the door open for us.
We waited for six hours, none of us leaving except for me to get food for use to eat from the cafeteria. As I sat back to digest, I began to wonder about Sarge's strange behavior after the shooting. Normally he would be celebrating the fact that he shot a Blue, but he wasn't. I developed several theories but I need to ask Sarge himself a few questions. As I was just about to doze, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Fred standing over me. He was still in his scrubs that were splashed with blood, but he had the biggest grin I ever saw. "He's out of the O.R. now and resting. He'll be fine, but I want him to stay here for a week for observation. Also his armor is locked in a safe in my office." he told the three of us.
I gave a sigh of relief. "Thanks. I'll post a guard over him just to be safe. Caboose will be the one." I told Fred. I looked at Caboose and I saw the thanks in his bearing. I stood and cracked my back. It had been a hell of a day. "I'll be going now. I want to relax and get some sleep before I get to rebuilding my lab again." With that Epsilon and I left. But I had some questions to ask Sarge before I even thought about sleep.
