Kathleen gingerly walked into the hospital room her first patient to check on was in. Her face beamed sympathy as she looked upon Kit, his head resting on the side of the bed his hand linked with Robyn's, Robbie on Robyn's other side his eyes tracing the blood bag connected to her arm and a man she hadn't met yet hovering uncomfortably from one side of the room to the other who nodded his head in acknowledgement of her presence. She nodded back and walked over to Robbie who looked up at her as she placed a hand on his shoulder before he turned his head back to Robyn.

Stepping to Robbie's other side, Kathleen checked the blood bag and saw that it was draining well, replacing the blood that Robyn had lost. Moving back towards the end of the bed she pulled out the folder slotted into the box that hung on it and started to fill in some notes. Looking up she smiled as Kit stirred and looked round to see her. He turned his chair around slightly and stretched, his hand never leaving Robyn's.

"Hi Kat," He yawned, "You start early...it is early isn't it?"

Kathleen laughed lightly as she saw Kit look round the room for a clock, "It is. It's a new scheme the hospital is running. They accept that around this time of the morning the night staff are pretty tired and more likely to make mistakes so they've piloted a project for a skeleton crew to come in early morning to help them out. I was one of the lucky volunteers. How's Robyn been?"

Kit shrugged, "Off somewhere communing with the cosmos I imagine. She sleeps like the dead sometimes and it's scary."

Seeing Robbie react to the word 'dead' Kit smiled at him apologetically and looked back at Kathleen who was frowning slightly at something she'd just seen in Robyn's notes.

"How did Robyn get that cut to her neck anyway? It says unspecified on here but there's no mention of it on her admission record."

Langford stopped hovering as he crossed his arms and began to gulp like a fish, "Well...erm...I suppose they must have missed it. I'm pretty sure it didn't happen here, it could have happened when she fell in Lily's hide out."

"It seems a very strange place to get a wound though," Kathleen replied still frowning.

"There were nails in the door frame where she fell, she was writhing a lot so could have caught herself. She had a jacket on so it's likely that we didn't notice it and she's been covered up while she's been here so it could have been bleeding for a while before we found it."

Kathleen didn't seem sure that she accepted Langford's explanation but she had to admit that it seemed plausible that Robyn could have lost the amount of blood she had through a wound that had bled for hours. She just couldn't see how the admissions team had missed something that should have been so obvious. She was disturbed from her thoughts when Langford addressed her.

"I don't suppose Sportacus knows about Robyn being in here does he?"

Kathleen looked surprised at Langford's question but she remembered that Sportacus had said that a Network officer had followed him home. He must have checked her address against a database and her cheeks coloured as Kit looked at her aghast.

"It's not what you think. I bumped into him in Greentown and he told me what had been going on. He was staying in a really grotty motel and I couldn't sit by and let him stay there so I asked him to come stay with me until his new airship gets delivered." Kathleen clarified a blush still painting her cheeks, "And no, he doesn't know she's in here yet. I only just found out myself when I came on shift. I'll only tell him if you want me to, I know you guys aren't getting on at the moment and I don't want to upset anybody."

Langford looked at Kit who looked at Robbie who shrugged when he looked at Kathleen then at Robyn when he heard her stirring.

Eyes still closed, Robyn said her piece, "Tell who you want...I get out of here today anyway so I wouldn't say it matters too much."

"I'm afraid that you were only being let out today before we found you'd lost that blood, it'll be up to Doctor Cole whether he's ready to discharge you or not after having a transfusion. He's coming on duty in an hour." Kathleen smiled sympathetically after she delivered the news.

Looking at her fob watch and excusing herself she left the room. When she was gone Langford resumed his nervous hovering before coming to a stop at the foot of Robyn's bed and leaning against it. He looked down at her and watched as she opened her eyes, her face conveying slight embarrassment. Adjusting his stance he levelled his gaze with hers as she sat herself up and Kit lifted her pillow so she could lean against it.

"What are you going to do?" She asked, her voice quiet.

Langford responded with mock confusion, "About what?"

Robyn indicated the dressing that was on her neck, "This."

"I guess we keep it between us. We three know what we saw; at least we think we do. Kit seems to know a bit more about it than me and Robbie, it was his idea to make an incision between the...puncture wounds as I guess two holes in your neck might look a little suspicious considering the fact you lost a reasonable amount of blood that no one's seen. I don't think anyone else really needs to know what happened, it would just make an awkward situation even more awkward and to be honest, I already feel as though I'm living in the Twilight zone. I don't want to start having to explain that I've seen a Vampire running around; they might end up taking me out of commission or throwing me into that Safe House. I don't want to know who he is, where he is, how you two met and what exactly happened between you last night. All I'm concerned with finding out at this present moment is what you've done with Toksvig and Peters."

As if on cue the door opened and in crept an incredibly nervous Peters.

"Where the hell have you been? And where the bloody hell is Toksvig? Why did you abandon your post?" Langford snapped as he clapped his eyes on his absentee officer.

Peters lowered his eyes, "Toksvig is gone. He thought something bad about Robyn, she got mad and he left. I went after him and tried to stop him but he was adamant he wasn't coming back. He's quit, Sir. He went to the airport, got on a plane and left. I didn't know where you'd be so I went back to Lazytown and they told me you were here so I came back."

Peters raised his eyes and looked at Robyn, he gasped when he saw the blood bag attached to Robyn's arm. "Has something...has something happened?" He stammered.

"That's what I'd like to know," Doctor Cole stated as he walked into the room and observed the sight before him.

Kit studied the Doctor briefly before addressing him, "Pardon the pun but what's up Doc?"

Doctor Cole glanced about the room avoiding anyone's direct gaze as he tried to keep his composure, "It's the strangest thing really. Michael...well...Michael wasn't there when I got home last night. All his things were gone. There was a note on the fridge though...it said something about thirty years being too long to resume a proper relationship...too much water under the bridge. You could say the long and the short of it is that he's gone back to Scotland, he's left me."

"Oh Doc!" Kit exclaimed releasing Robyn's hand before he stood up and walked over to the Doctor and wrapped his arms around him in a comforting hug, "I'm so sorry."

Doctor Cole put his arms around Kit as well and patted him on the back, "Don't worry about me. He'd been so distant the last few days...I should have seen it coming.

"I know I'm not Michael but you've still got me," Kit soothed as he gave the older man a kiss on the cheek and squeezed him a bit tighter when he began to feel wetness on his shoulder.

"I have indeed," Doctor Cole sobbed before letting Kit go and getting the young man to do the same. He sniffed loudly and wiped the fallen tears from his face before shakily regaining his composure and smiling at Robyn, "And I have you to keep me busy as always young lady. What's the story this time?"
