Episode 4
*meanwhile, Nightingale was taking a walk at the docks aftr his job at the speakeasy. As he looked out to the sea, someone approached him frm behind*
Voice: A little msg for ur viral friends
Nightingale: Wha...? *before he knew something lightning fast circled ard him a few times n by the time he realized wht's going on, his whole body was sporting deep cuts everywhere, blood spraying at every direction, before a finger reached out to push him off the docks n into the sea*
Thrax; 8was searching for the shells when the scent of blood caught his nose and headed to the dock8
Nightingale: *was in the sea, sinking lower n lower as he lost more blood*
Thrax; 8jumped into the sea and pulled him out of the water, swimming back to the docks as he kept Night's head out of the water8
Nightingale: *unconscious, barely breathing as he was totally drained n wet*
Thrax; 8used CPR on him8
Nightingale: *a few moments later, started coughing n vomiting out the water*
Thrax; 8wrapped his coat round him8
Nightingale: *was not looking too good even though he's finally breathin normally, having lost so much blood*
Thrax; 8ran to the nearest hospital8
* one hospital attendant was out taking the trash wen Thrax came in with Nightingale*
Thrax; Please he needs help.
Attendant: *recognizes Thrax n nods, carrying Nightingale into the hospital to be treated*
Thrax; 8pondered weather to stay with Night or go after the perp8
*the trail of the tracking device for the shell was hot, blinking furiously*
Thrax; 8wanted to finish this quick and fallowed the trail8
Attendant: *wanted to ask for particulars frm Thrax bt saw tht he was gone, then remembers tht he used to work alongside Hecro n Drix n texted msg Hecro*
Hecro: *received the msg n quickly called Drix, telling him everything*
Drix: Hello? ....Mmhmm...Yeah...Oh, OK...Uh-huh...Alright, got it *hangs up the phone*
Antonio; What's up/
Drix: A mute friend of ours we help get work in a hospital called Hecro telling him tht Thrax brought in a germ with serious conditions. A slash attack, I'm afraid. He asked me to follow him to go chk it out
Leah; 8came down8 Be carevul Drix.
Drix: OK, darling *kisses her before leaving with Hecro to the hospital*
Thrax; 8continued fallowed the signal and looked round8
*the perp who attacked Nightingale was in an abandoned warehouse, keeping up maintenance with the other shells*
Thrax; 8charged in8
Perp: *shocked to see him* Wht the...How did u find me?!
Thrax; You'd be surprised. . . . .Electra.
Perp: *grins* Ur smart, I'll give u tht much. Doesn't mean ur any better than I am *makes a fight stance*
Thrax; 8looked round8
*plenty of shells hanging on conveyer belts, n they looked like they were newly acquired, the amt more than it was reli showing in the tracking device*
Thrax; 8narrowed his eyes8
Perp: Impressive, isn't it? There more where tht came frm. Morgues are just so convenient, dontcha think, baby? *charges to him n lands a kick on his gut*
Thrax; 8didn't flinch and threw her to the wall8
Perp: *groans as "she" picked "herself" up frm the wall* Tht was harsh, virus. Is tht how u teach our son?
Thrax; 8didn't hear her as burned and shredded the shells8
Perp: Wht the...Wht the fuck are u doing?! *picks up a huge boulder with odd superstrength n threw it at Thrax*
Thrax; 8dodged and completely destroyed the plant8
Perp: *charged at him with a huge shard, stabbing his arm*
Thrax; 8groaned then tore her off8
Perp: U will pay for this! U will pay *abt to put another stab on him*
Thrax; 8his eyes glowed red as he started zapping the life energy from her8
Perp: *groaned out loud as "her" life energy got sucked*
Thrax; 8made sure to get every last bit of her soul8
Perp: *at the last effort, scratched his cheek n made a run for it to the window, crashing thru*
Thrax; 8roared and went after her but not before setting the place alight8
Perp: *ran n stumbled as she ran in the deserted alley*
Thrax; 8ran after her like a predator8
Perp: *before he could approached, threw "herself" onto a pole, jabbing thru "her" head, destroying the neuron*
Thrax; 8cursed in Spanish and English8
*the tracking device soon indicated much lesser shells, bt still all ovr the plc*
Thrax; 8growled and continued the search and destory8
*meanwhile at the hospital, Hecro n Drix chked out Nightingale*
8the staff kept glancing at them8
Hecro: *turns to the attendant* Wht time did Thrax bring him ovr?
Attendant: *uses sign language n told him*
Drix: *nods, knwing sign languages* Did Thrax say who he is
Attendant: *shakes his head*
8everyone went about their business8
Hecro: Well, we're gonna have to call nxt of kin or something. Does he have any ID?
Attendant: *gives him Nightingale's business card*
Hecro: I'll make a call *walked out n dialed his cell*
*the phone at the speakeasy rang*
Voice; Slim Stan's Grand Stand.
Hecro: Hey, uh, I'm Agent Hecro Jones calling frm Appendix General. Does *reads the name* Nightingale work for u?
Voice; Yes/
Hecro: Well, u were the only ID we could find. Though just to let u knw tht Mr. Nightingale is in the hospital at the moment. He's got some pretty bad injuries, though we're not sure whether he'll heal properly or not
Voice; What else is new/ He shouldn't miss work bevause of a few cratches. 8hangs up8
Hecro: *blinked at the sudden hang up* Wht the... *frowns* Some boss *hangs up n went to Drix* Well, I've just talked to the coldest boss ever. He didnt care whether he's dead or alive, only tht he missed work
Drix: *rolls his eyes* Figures. The treatment they give for non-cells are appaling. Though this Nightingale fellow did mention something interesting in his sleep
Hecro: Oh? Wht is it?
Drix: Alexis' name. *grins*
8a trainee nurse cocked an ear8
Hecro: Alex? He knws Alex?
Drix: Apparently so. Should we call him ovr?
Hecro: I'll do it *rings Drix's home*
Antonio; Hello/
Hecro: Hey, Tony. Alex there?
Antonio; Just a sec. 8hands the phone to Alex8
Alexis; Yeah/
Hecro: Hey Lex. U knw someone by the name Nightingale?
Drix: *pondered at the background, noticing the total similarity of the germ n Ozzie, except the colour*
Alex; Night/ What happened to him/
Hecro: Ah, so u do knw him. Finally we're getting somewhere. Well *told him wht the hospital attendant just told him* Tht's the gist of it
Alexis; 8dropped the phone and ran out8
Takashi: *surprised to see Alexis speed past* A-ra? Doushita?
Antonio; 8picks up the phone8 He'll be there shortly.
Hecro: Alright. *hangs up the phone, then looks ovr Nightingale* Dang, this kid...reli reminds me of someone...
Drix: Oz?
Hecro: Yeah! Tht's it! THough...it kinda reminds me of something else...some incident...Can't recall...
Alexis; 8ran right in the hospital, leaving scotch marks on the floor8
Hecro: *hears him* Woah! He's fast *goes out to see him* Yo, Lex. Right here
Alexis; 8ran up8 How is he/
Drix: He's still unconscious, n he's lost quite a deal of blood, n docs said he'll definitely have scars bcoz of the wounds so deep. Bt he'll live
Nightingale: *lay there in bed, his body covered with bandages n breathing through a breathing mask*
Alexis; 8knealt beside him and took his hand8
Hecro: I take it u two have been together for a while?
Alexis; 8blushes8
Drix: By the looks of things, wht with Thrax bringing him in, I'd say it's possible he was attacked by Elektra. Though for wht, I'm not sure
Alexis; The minute I find that bitch I'll kill her.
Drix: Well, at the moment, u better stay by his side, since ur the only one he's got. It'll be best if the first person he sees is u
Hecro: Yup. If u guys are reli together, he's gonna need u
Alexis; 8nodded8
Hecro: Guess our work is done here for the moment. Let's go, Drix n leave them alone
Drix: *nods n left, patting Alexis' shoulder before leaving*
Alexis; 8held his love's hand, silently praying8
Nightingale: *still sleeping, the heart monitor showing his heart rate was at least normal*
Alexis; 8smiled knowing his love will pull through8
*Drix soon returned home aftr bidding Hecro goodbye*
Leah; Vat happened/
Drix: *told her everything*
Leah; 8her hand covered her mouth8
Drix: Yeah. The docs said he should be recuperating, bt there will definitely be scars
Leah; Vho did zis/
Drix: 3 guesses on you-knw-who
Leah; 8clenched her fist8 Vat bitch.
Drix: Yeah, I knw. Sad to say tht no one is going to investigate this case. Being a germ n a male prostitute didnt give them compassion enough to press any charges. Evn his boss was upset just because he missed work
Leah; Ve'll help him, he's ozzy's son after all.
Drix: Yes, we should...What?? Wht did u just say??
Leah; 8repeated8
Drix: W...Wh...H..How...He... *speechless*
Leah; 8explained what happens within the male body8
Drix: Hmm...N Oz doesn't recognize him bcoz the procedure wipes out his memories. Interesting
Leah; He doesn't know even vith the answer in front of him.
Drix: Maybe it's because of the chemistry. Sometimes the signature DNA can be so alike tht the chemistry is undetectable, tht's why Oz couldn't sense it
Leah; 8nods8
Drix: Wht should we do now? For Nightingale, tht is
Leah; Ve need to plan vis, he may refuze or help.
Drix: *nods* Agreed. *yawns* Where's the other bros? *looking ard*
Leah; Turned in vor thee night.
Drix: Dieter being with Julius again, I presume? *raised a knowing brow*
Leah; 8rolled her eyes8
Drix: Seriously, if he knew it is unrequited love, he should get ovr the infatuation already
Leah; Try tell him, he's fooling himsrlf.
Drix: *shakes his head, sighing* Let him be. He's an adult. He'll come to his senses soon enough. Let's go to bed, darling. It's been a long day
Leah; 8nods and fallows him8
Drix: *chked on Sally at the nursery for a while, tucked her in properly n kissed her forehead before joining Leah in the bed*
Leah; 8slipped off her clothes and into a pair of sweats8
Drix: *hugs her* Mm, ur sexy no matter wht u dress in, my darling
Leah; 8giggled8
Drix: *kisses her* I love you
Leah; 8kissed him back8 Love jou to.
*the couple soon drifted off to sleep in each other's arms*
