I'm here for you
Chapter two
There seemed to be a rush going on in the medical bay. Nurses and doctors rushed back and forth through the white hallways. The medical bay of U.Z.Z. wasn't always that busy. It was mostly busy after fights, when the non-critical hit agents were brought in.
At this point, it were only nurses and doctors who ran passed Victor. But he didn't seem to take notice of it all. He was sitting onto a chair in one of the many hallways and was just staring at his hands. Anita had been in the ER for hours already and he hadn't seen a doctor who could tell him something about Anita.
Victor was just hoping everything was alright with her. They had been working together for two years now and it all felt good. They were a good team together, but all he could do now was hoping that she wouldn't die.
As if he came out of no-where, a doctor appeared in front of Victor. "I have been told that you brought Secret Agent Knight in. You must be Secret Agent Volt."
Victor nodded and he stood up from the chair. "Can you say anything about how Anita is?"
"She broke a few ribs and even her right leg. That was actually the good news."
Victor looked to the doctor in surprise. That was the good news? "What would be the bad news?" His voice trembled, worried about what the bad news could be.
"She is in coma right now. She also got a concussion and she lost a lot of blood. We don't know what state she'll be in when… if she wakes up."
Victor didn't know what to say. It felt like the room was spinning around him and he felt light in his head. "Can I see her?" he asked after a few moments. He didn't know what else to say and he just wanted to see her as soon as possible.
The doctor nodded and he took Victor with him to one of the many rooms in one of the many white halls. The doctor opened the door and let Victor in. "Just don't stay too long. She still needs her rest."
Victor just nodded and slowly, he walked into the room. Anita was lying in a hospital bed, in the middle of the room. She was surrounded by many different machines, which all beeped or made some noise either way.
He sat down onto a chair which was standing next to the bed. For a few moments, he just fell silent. He didn't know what to say or even where to look.
"I'm not used to seeing you like this." he whispered. "Most of the time I see you as a strong woman. Nobody could bring you down. You stood tall for the both of us. But now… Now I know you are breakable as well. You are like a diamond. Clear and strong, but still fragile somehow."
Victor looked at Anita and smiled a little bit. It almost looked like she was asleep. Carefully, he grabbed Anita's hand and softly squeezed her hand. "I don't want you to go, not yet. You are such an amazing partner to me…"
Suddenly, the door opened and a nurse walked into the room. "I'm sorry," she started, "but you really have to go now, Agent Volt."
Victor nodded and he took one last look to Anita. "I'll come and visit you every day. I'll come by tomorrow after work."
Victor stood up from his chair and decided to go back to the Briefing Room. The working day hadn't ended yet, so he still needed to be available for his duties as a Secret Agent.
It didn't take him too long to get to the Briefing Room. Part of him didn't want to go in, but he knew he had to. So Victor walked into the Briefing Room and walked to his chair.
Both Professor Professor and Changed Daily were there too. Victor figured that they had been there ever since the fight against the Reptogator stopped.
"Well… How is she, Victor?" asked Professor Professor.
Victor sat down in his chair. There was only one thing he could say to that question. "Not good."
His chief looked at him. "What do you mean, Victor?"
"I mean that Anita is in a coma at the moment. They don't even know if she might wake up or not."
Changed Daily and Professor Professor looked at each other. "Go home, Victor. Take some rest. It had been a long day now and we will see you back here tomorrow."
Victor didn't know what to say. His boss was right, it felt like it had been a long day already and he knew he wouldn't be able to focus on any other mission. "I will."
Victor said goodbye to Changed Daily and Professor Professor and walked out of the room. Just outside the room, he walked into Special Agent Ray and Agent Kowalski. Agents he knew well and somehow it felt nice to see them at that moment.
"How are you?" asked the blue haired Special Agent.
"I am doing well. I just hope Anita will get well soon."
Victor had no idea if the others knew already what he knew. And Victor didn't even know if he wanted to say it again.
"We heard, Victor." said Kowalski. "She's a strong woman. She even beat up Kent during one of the darkness trainings. Anita will wake up one day."
Kowalski gave Victor a hug. "You just need to keep believing in her."
Victor gave her a little smile. "I will, Kowalski. Thank you."
The agents said goodbye to Victor and left him alone in the blue hallways. Knowing that his colleagues still believed in Anita, gave him more reassurance that Anita would wake up one day. He just hoped it would be one day soon…
