"Are you crazy?! West Valley General?! If there's one hospital on the planet where you are absolutely most likely to get spotted, it's that one!" Robby argues in disbelief.
"It's the one hospital with a doctor that will treat me without phoning the police first," I argue in barely a whisper as the fever makes me nearly nonverbal.
"Who? Who exactly? What doctor would not be willing to turn you in for a fat paycheck?" Robby asks gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles.
"The less you know the better," I argue.
Robby scoffs at this.
"You're insane. You know that?" Robby states shaking his head.
"Well yeah… how do you think I got in this mess in the first place?" I rhetorically agree.
After another hour of driving, Robby pulls up in a rather hidden area right by the hospital.
"So, what now?" Robby asks.
"Now, I find a way into her car. Then… I wait," I answer scanning the parking lot for a specific vehicle.
"You're gonna break into a random doctor's car and hide until they get in it?" Robby asks still sounding clueless.
"Yeah, basically," I answer.
Robby sighs. I'd filled him in on the plan, but left out names. The person I was looking for wasn't exactly… a doctor. A nurse's assistant to be specific. She was too busy supporting her family to afford medical school, but I knew she could help me. I had already decided to give Robby the leftover cash and instructed him to get as far from here as possible.
The only way I'd get this person to help me was the fact that I had a bounty on my head at the moment. If I get treated, I let them turn me in. I'm also here to see him.
I look at the giant building in the distance and think about him. Just one more time before they lock me away forever.
"Well, if this is the end of us working together, what's stopping you from giving me up once they arrest you?" Robby asks.
I glance over at him.
"What? It's a valid question. Not like you owe me anything," Robby remarks.
I sigh.
"Except my life… we aren't friends, Keene. We'll never be friends, but I'd be a lot worse off if you didn't help out. So if you're curious about why I'm NOT going to turn you in once they arrest me, honor. Nothing more, nothing less," I answer truthfully with no emotion.
Robby's eyes study me carefully for signs of malicious intent, but I'm being 100% truthful.
"Look… if for whatever reason you change your mind… I'll be parked on the residential street if you turn left at the light right there. Can't tell you which house because I don't know, but you'll have from 6:45 to 7AM tomorrow. You miss it, I'm gone," Robby remarks looking me dead in the eye.
Now it was my turn to ask why.
"Why exactly would you do that? I certainly don't owe you anything either," I remark.
"No, but you won't be as useless without your wounds so having a second person helping us stay hidden wouldn't kill me," Robby remarks.
Robby then helps walk me through how to pick the lock on this person's car without triggering the alarm and I get to work. I get out, put my hood up and make sure my head is hanging low so nobody can see my face as I finally spot her car in the parking lot.
"Steady…" I slowly mutter to myself as I stick the pin in her driver's side door.
If I was too rough with it, the car alarm would go off. I hold my breath until I hear a click.
I exhale sharply and look around before pulling the door open and pressing the unlock button. Once I do that, I turn toward Robby and nod my head as I see him turn out of the parking lot and drive off.
Just like that, I was alone again. I crawl into the back of the vehicle and reach to the drivers side window to lock the car and lie down on the floor in front of the back seat.
While I had planned to wait patiently, my exhaustion along with feeling sick makes me doze off.

With the wind whipping against him and sending a pleasant chill throughout his entire body, Hawk sped down the street with another in tow.
Following him like a puppy, Mitch trailed closely behind Hawk as they finally came to a stop at the edge of the park. Hawk in particular hated being forced to meet his friends like this.
Shortly before school had started, he'd begged his mom to let him trade in her old Sentra that she'd gifted him for a new motorcycle. When she'd given him the car at the start of summer, she had been able to buy herself a new one so she was not exactly losing a car.
The past week had only served to remind Hawk how alone he was. Miguel was possibly on his death bed, Murphy was missing, Tory had gone MIA, Amelia had left as soon as she heard Sensei Kreese came back, and Demetri…
Wait a minute, why the hell was he placing Demetri on that list?! He'd given that little pussy exactly what he deserved. He didn't want to be Demetri's friend anymore.
Hawk hated everything and everyone. He hated it all. All he wanted was for everyone to come back. Miguel to be healthy and Murphy to be free. Having Assface following him just wasn't the same.
Murphy's psychotic cousin should've been the one getting slandered by the news instead of shown as the victim. He'd hurt Blake and gotten nothing apparently then Blake does the same thing is public enemy #1. Why wasn't ROBBY KEENE in the spotlight? He deserved prison way more than Murphy ever could.
If there was one thing Hawk slightly envied, it was that Murphy wasn't tied down anymore and had every opportunity to hunt Keene down and end him. For Miguel.
Hawk had spent nearly every hour since the fight fantasizing about finding Robby Keene and breaking both of his legs or his back. Revenge fantasy after revenge fantasy only fueled Hawk's nerve. It was pretty much all he had at the moment.
He'd been grounded after the fight so he was stuck in his room until after his suspension was over. No Cobra Kai either. Hawk had no clue Sensei Kreese would punish him once he was allowed to return or not.
Finally, the two Cobras park their bikes and walk to the twin trees on the edge of the park. They'd all been forced to meet like this since the fight as most were grounded and under heavy parental watch. Hawk had snuck out his window.
There sat Amelia along with Bert and a few other Cobras. They had been coming out here recently to discuss everything and update each other on news regarding Miguel, Murphy, and even Miyagi Do.
"Anything?" Hawk asks.
Ames sadly shakes her head. Hawk could see how terribly she missed Miguel, Aisha, and Blake. While Hawk disagreed with her ghosting of Tory, he didn't fight her on it.
"I went to see Miguel today, but the nurse kicked me out. Said family only," Bert confirms.
Hawk sighs.
As long as he was trapped in his bedroom by his overbearing parents, he was of no use to anyone. Couldn't check up on Miguel or even use his phone to call his mom.
They'd made sure to confiscate all of his electronics to.
"What about you?" Bert asks Ames.
Hawk pitied the way she looked. Her eyes had bags under them and her usual confident demeanor was rather quiet and reserved that reminded Hawk of Murphy.
"No, my parents don't even know a fight happened so I'm not grounded but… I haven't left my house. I'm sorry," she remarks sounding tired.
"Well, you're actually one of the few of us who can do something," Mitch argues at her.
Before she can reply, Hawk cuts in.
"SHUT THE HELL UP ASSFACE!" He barks at Mitch.
Ames gives Hawk a hidden lip twitch to mimic an attempt at a smile to show gratitude.
Unlike the others, Hawk knew just how much she missed Blake in particular. Even he had caught on to her little crush on him. Hawk had never possessed any sort of feelings for the raven haired girl, but he'd loved her friend at some point and they were teammates after all. He'd have her back. If not for either of them, then for Murphy. He owed his friend that much.
The group of them spend the next hour just chatting and catching up. Most shared their various forms of punishment after getting suspended. One thing that slightly boosted morale was them talking about how good it will feel to get back at Miyagi Do once things return to normal.

After a while, it was only Hawk and Amelia walking in the park as the sun began to set.
"How are you handling everything?" Ames asks.
"I'm doing fine," Hawk lies but he had vowed long ago to never show weakness.
Ames could see through him, but didn't feel like prodding. She was miserable and not afraid to show it unlike Hawk.
"Have you heard from Tory? I know you said you were done with her, but she may come back to the dojo once things calm down," Hawk remarks as they start to see various posters on street lights and trees.
"No, and she can stay away. Y'all can blame Miyagi Do all you want but Tory is the one who went psycho and started the fight. She should be the one in jail, not Blake," Amelia remarks folding her arms and doing her best to hold in her emotions.
"Above all, Robby Keene should be the one on these fucking posters!" Hawk cries out before roughly tearing one of Blake's wanted posters off of the broken monkey bars and crumpling it.
Ames agrees. After everything Robby had done, she wanted him and Tory just out of their lives. She really didn't care if it was jail or for them to be just gone. Aisha was gone, Miguel was gone, and Blake was gone. They'd taken some of the few people who she cared about and Ames never wanted to see either of them again.
They'd also stolen any potential future she and Blake could have had together. After over a year of pining and trying to move on to make the pain stop, he finally liked her back then she lost him just as fast.
"I know how much you miss him. Murphy was always quite the catch," Hawk jokes trying to help her feel better.
This actually works somewhat as Ames pinches Hawk's ear annoyed.
"You think your funny don't cha?" Ames remarks through gritted teeth as she pulls Hawk by his ear.
"Okay okay okay, oww oww oww, stop," he remarks with a grin and she finally lets go.
For the first time since the fight, Amelia smiles.
She stops and looks up at a rather large poster out of both of their reaches on the side of a building.
Instead of the usual shot of Blake's face with his reward amount and "WANTED BY THE F.B.I." under his photo, it was a black and white version of his yearbook photo.
The poster was definitely unofficial and the words spray painted under it were "Justice 4 Murphy"
This causes her eyes to sting with the threat of tears. She used to be tough but after all this, but losing someone like Blake hit her harder than she thought she could handle.
Amelia bites her quivering bottom lip at the sight of his smiling face. The way he looked back when things made sense.
Her brief relief thanks to Hawk was cut short as she was reminded how real this all was.
She only hoped wherever he was, he was alright.

By the time I open my eyes, the sky is dark, but the car is still empty. I remember hearing about how she works over time shifts on occasion.
I groggily rub my eyes best I can with the limited space I have. My body is still smoked in sweat but the long period of slumber helped somewhat as I don't feel near death anymore. The fever is still very much present but it is bearable for now.
Just when I think about trying to go back to sleep, I hear a click. She's here.
I attempt to remain as hidden as possible. As soon as I adjust my position, the drivers side door opens. She sets her purse down and takes a deep breath before placing her keys in the ignition.
I let out a slight grunt and her body swivels around at lightning speed with a sharp gasp. As soon as she sees my figure, she lets out an ear piercing shriek of fright and frantically digs through her purse.
Uh oh. She's looking for PEPPER SPRAY!
"Wait! Wait! I'm not gonna hurt you. Mrs Diaz," I frantically rasp out doing my best to calm her down.
Somehow, this makes her stop.
"H-how do you know my name? What do you want?" She asks not removing her hand from the purse.
I jerk my head back to toss my hood off and show her my face.
"Because you know mine. I need your help," I answer.
Authors note: Merry late Christmas everyone! Once again, apologies for making y'all wait. However, my new plan to prevent future waits that I will be starting from now on will be to try and write multiple chapters out before uploading any so I won't post one and just disappear because you guys deserve content for being so patient.
