Previously In Last Chapter - Once they had finished their meals they decided to go to the cinema and se a movie, however there plans were interrupted as Jill's cell phone rang. "Hello?" Jill Asked. Rebecca watched Jill's expression as it changed from happiness to confusion and then to sadness. "I'm on my way!" said Jill to the person on the other end of the phone before hanging up. She turned to Rebecca with tears streaming down her face. "What's wrong?" Rebecca Asked, taking Jill into her arms. "My dad's in hospital…"

Jill and Rebecca had reached the hospital within half an hour, the lady at reception told them the doctors were still working on her dad, they would have to wait in the waiting room and a doctor will come and see them.

Jill hadn't said a word since they arrived. She just sat with no expression on her face staring ahead of her, like she was in her own little world. Not only was she worried about her dad, she hated hospitals, whenever someone she loved was in one, she always lost them.

Jill was broken from her trance as Rebecca handed her a coffee and sat on the seat next to her with a long sigh. They had been waiting for a good hour or so. Rebecca put an arm round Jill who rested her head on Rebecca's shoulder and closed her eyes. Rebecca placed a soft kiss on the top of her head before resting her chin there and stroking Jill's hair.

"Miss Valentine?"

Jill quickly jumped up hearing her name being called.

"Yes? My dad is he okay? Can I see him?" she asked question after question.

"Maybe you should sit down" the doctor replied.

"No" Yelled Jill a little louder than she had planed. "I'm sorry, no, it's just I've been sitting here for hours already. I just.. Tell me… Please.."

"Although your dads on the road to recovery there have been some damage to the brain due to the blow to his head, as the skull has been cracked, we will have to insert a metal plate to protect what we can of the brain which may cause problems for him, swelling in the brain being the most serious after the operation. I know this is difficult but unfortunately because of the nature of the injury things may progress quickly."

"Things? What things?"

"Symptoms, is a good variety that could present. Loss of vision, lack of muscle control, mood swings.."

"What can you do to stop it?" Jill interrupted.

"Well, not much, medication can help with some of the symptoms, like headaches for example."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"No but it's not all doom and gloom, your dad has a good chance of coming out okay and not having any problems"

"What exactly is a good chance?"

"Nearly 1 out of 3 comes out with no symptoms. I need to get some information from you regarding your dads lifestyle and home environment, the more we know.."

"I'm sorry I just need a few minuets to get my head around this."

"Well your dads going to be unconscious for at least another 6 or 7 hours. Go home, get some sleep and come back tomorrow. You can stay here for as long as you want, that's just my advice."

"Jill…" Rebecca came over when she saw the doctor leave Jill and put her arms around her.

"It's bad.."

"I know. Come on, let's get you home. We'll come back first thing tomorrow morning."

"No, I want to stay here. I should be here when he wakes up.."

"If that's what you want, it's your choice. "

"You should go"

"I can sta.."

"No" Jill interrupted "Please just go home Rebecca, I don't need you right now. Just go"

"But Jill.."

"Rebecca I just want to be alone, why the hell can't you understand that!?" Jill yelled before storming off leaving Rebecca standing alone and hurt.

3 Hours Later At A Bar

Rebecca was sitting at the bar downing drink after drink, wondering why Jill had pushed her away like that when all she wanted to do was make her feel better. If roles had been reversed she would have wanted Jill by her side.

At The Same Time In The Hospital

Jill was sitting alone on a chair in the waiting room, thoughts running threw her head. She hadn't meant to yell at Rebecca but she just wanted to be alone, the exact same way she was when her mother was ill, sitting waiting for the worst to happen.

Meanwhile The S.T.A.R.S Raid A House

While Jill was with the doctor Rebecca had informed Chris about what was going on. The S.T.A.R.S at that point took over Jill's dad's case to search for the group that attacked him. They had a lead on a house a few blocks down from where he lived. Carlos, Claire and Leon covered the back of the house while David, Chris and Barry covered the front.

"Okay guys on three we all go in together, get ready" Ordered David "3!"

Another 3 Hours Passed At The Bar

Rebecca ordered another drink as a young blonde woman approached her and sat down on the free stool next to her. Rebecca turned to look at her then looking down at her drink before looking back at the young woman.

At The Hospital With Jill

Her dad woke up and she was allowed to see him as the doctor repeated to him everything he had already told Jill. Jill sat on the bed holding her dads hand and looking at him as the doctor spoke.

With Rebecca Outside The Blondes Apartment

Pressing Rebecca up against her apartment door the blonde's hands ran down her chest as she kissed Rebecca's neck. Rebecca let the girl continue for a while before she grabbed her shoulders and pushed her away. She gave the girl a hard look before walking away.

The S.T.A.R.S Raid

The S.T.A.R.S team burst into the house from all ends shouting and screaming at everyone to drop anything they had get down on the floor with their hands behind their backs. A few weapons were kicked away from them, one or two tried to escape only to be knocked out by Leon and Carlos, who pretty much enjoyed that job. The 6 men were all thrown into the S.T.A.R.S police van and taken to the station for questioning.

Back At The Hospital

It was getting pretty late, Jill's dad look really tired, even though he just woke up a few hours earlier.

"Rachel is here" Jill told her dad. Rachel is Jill half sister, her dad is currently split from Rachel's mother, that didn't work out too well after he got her pregnant. Only their child keep them tied together, Jill never liked her dads partner anyway and didn't spend much time with her sister either, she was just so used to being an only child. "You want me to stay?" Rachel didn't know the extent of her dads injuries, all she knew is her dad was in hospital.

"No, I think I should tell her on her own." He smiled.

"Okay" Jill smiled back before leaving and telling her sister she could go and see their dad.

Jill watched from the gap in the door with a sad face as her dad broke the news to his younger daughter. Jill watched as her little sister collapsed in her dads arms. At the moment she felt bad for the kid, Rachel was only 16.

"Jill" a voice said, Jill turned to see Rebecca. "You okay? You look pretty beat up." Jill just nodded and collapsed into the arms of her lover tears rolling down her face. For the moment their earlier spat forgotten. "It's okay, just let it out, I'm right here"

"I can't" Replied Jill holding back tears "Not now; they need me to be strong, if I start now I won't be able to stop"

Rebecca wiped away a stray tear from Jill's face.

"Jill" she heard her dad call.

"You wanna come in with me" Asked Jill gesturing towards her dads room.

"No, you should be with your family, I'm going to drop by the station and see if I can get an update on your dads case. I'll drop by later" Smiled Rebecca giving her a soft kiss on the forehead. Rebecca watched as Jill until the door to her dads room closed.

Jill and Rachel stayed the whole night in their dads room, helping him eat his horrible hospital food.

"You know girls, you don't have to stay here with me"

"You kidding? This is the good life!! No work, no errands"

"No School" Rachel added in "hmmm this jello is delicious!"

"Help yourself" Laughed her father "I don't like the stuff"

"Is it because it's green and looks like a big pile of snot??" Her dad looked at Jill with a scrunched up face.

"Hey, don't look at me; you're the one that insisted on teaching her to talk" smiled Jill "Morning' Doc" she said as the doctor entered their room.

"Good morning, you two still here"

"Just keeping him company" Replied Jill.

"Good, just be careful you don't ware him out"

"Don't worry about that, I woke up exhausted"

"Well, some good news, we have scheduled your surgery for tomorrow at noon, how does that sound?"

"I think I was scheduled for a football game but I can work around it I'm sure" joked Dick Valentine

"Alright, you take care an get as much rest as possible" Laughed the doctor.

"I just can't wait to get out of this place, I hate lying around with nothing to do"

"Please, we have loads of things we can do" Laughed Jill

"Yeah we have soap operas to watch" Grinned Rachel.

"I really don't need you girls to stay here you know, I know you have work Jill and Rach, you do have to go back to school"

"Not tonight, Rebecca is filling in and helping the others" replied Jill "In saying that I should at least phone Rebecca and see if they've caught the people that done this to you. I'll be right back"

With that Jill left her dad and younger sister to talk and headed for the hospital phones.
