Kayo's heart almost stops as he says it.

'Yes'

the word rolled off his tongue like it was nothing, simple fact. Gordon shook off his grandmother off and slammed into his brother once again, they didn't fall this time, John was prepared. This was a fight, an actual fight, not just Gordon punching him. This was going to end badly and she should stop them, she should step in and stop them because no one else wants to, but.. She doesn't.

She watches, making an effort to pull her eyes from them to look at their Grandmother, Ruth is shaking, clinging to Brains, the two are talking while Alan stands there, clinging to himself, watching wide eyed and with horror.

She didn't know he was here. Oh, why was he here?

'Stop it' she jumps forward now, hissing at them 'Not in front of Alan' pulling at John and forcing her way between the men as they snap and snarl like animals.

A nurse storms over, fury written on the tired features.

'This is a hospital, stop this now or leave!' she hisses, looking over the men eyes resting on John a moment 'Stop by downstairs, getting those looked at' she points to his face as he wipes the blood off on his sleeve. 'If I hear or any more fighting your name is not going to stop you getting thrown out. Understand?' she looks between them and John nods sullenly. Momentarily appeased she turns briskly, stopping to speak to their Grandmother.

The two men stand glaring over her head. Gordon leans forward and hisses at a him.

'I swear to god John, if something happens to Virgil, Five is not going to be far enough to save you from me, because I will hunt you down. I will walk to Five'

Kayo looks at Gordon, he is glaring with nothing short of pure, unadulterated anger. John makes something close to a scoff and turned away slowly, looking at Kayo; his cold turquoise locking onto golden-green.

This is it, her final chance to pick her ground; him or them. She wants to follow, to take his hand and listen as she wraps her head around this insanity, but she can't. She can't though, because that isn't John, it can't be.

John, her John, their John wouldn't do this. Whatever had caused this had warped him, twisted and destroyed the man they knew, now a stranger walked away, leaving to turn and stalk them from another angle.

Her place is here, with them, her family, and against him.
