[The next morning, or afternoon, to be accurate, everyone woke up after sleeping in from a long day]
Loki: [was curled up in the covers, slowly stirring] Nnhh...
Rouge; 8had his arm wrapped round him8
Loki: Nnnhh... Wat time is it...? [looked ard trying to get his bearings]
Rouge; 8opened his eyes sowly8
Loki: [slowly sits up, yawning]
Rouge; 8sat up n stretched8
Loki: [tries to stretch but groaned as his back ached] Uugghhh~~ Tht was one real all-nighter
Rouge; 8was getting cricks out of his back9
Loki: Geez, how long were we at it...? [rubs the sleep off his eyes]
Rouge; All night probably
Loki: [looked at the time] Wow, it's almost coming to 3pm. We reli did it all night [chuckled as he leaned against Rouge]
Rouge; 8nuzzles him8
Loki: At the rate ur going, u might end up knocking me up [giggled teasingly]
Rouge; Some day but when Crissy is older
Loki: Maybe [leans in to peck Rouge's lips] We better wash up n get ready. Ur brothers might be wondering where we are, now that I bet yesterday's thing made the news
Rouge; 8got off the bed8
Loki: [got off the bed slowly too, n joined him in the bathroom to wash up]
Rouge; 8stepped into the shower8
Loki: Got room for one more?
Rouge; It'll be a tight fit
Loki: Not tht I'm complaining [enters n leaned close against Rouge, a cheeky grin on his face]
Rouge; 8licked his neck8
Loki: [giggled, then settled in as he n Rouge helped each other wash up]
[meanwhile, Ozzy was also awake frm his all-nighter with Thrax n was watching the news on TV]
Ozzy: [adjusted the volume so tht it didn't wake Thrax too hard]
Thrax; 8cracked open his eyes8
Ozzy: [didn't notice, his eyes glued to the TV]
Thrax; 8sat up8
Ozzy: [flinched a little at his movement] /Oh, sorry, did I wake u?/
Thrax; 8groans8 Haven't slept that long since I was a kid
Ozzy: [chuckled] /Nothing wrong with sleeping in once in a while. Tht means ur body needs the rest/
Thrax; 8stretched8
Ozzy: /I'm watching a news update on the Gangland Family. It looks like Devin's PD managed to get them to reveal the location of their other hideouts. More victims n kids r being rescued out as they speak/ [looking at Devin who is giving out the press conference, the scenes switching btwn him n footages of the immunity going in n wheeling or carrying out the victims n cuffing the Gangland Family's henchmen]
Thrax; 8smirked cruely8
Ozzy: [gestured at Devin at the press conference] /Looks like someone is enjoying the limelight a little/
Thrax; 8snorts8
Ozzy: /I wonder if the others are already awake/
Thrax; Probably
[there was a knock on the conjoining door frm Dieter's side]
Thrax; Yeah?
[there was no reply, just more knocking]
Ozzy: /Wonder wat's up. It might be Sal knocking/
Thrax; 8got up n went to the door8
[as the door opened, it reli was Salvador standing there staring straight forward, not used to eye contact with ppl other than his own immediate family, bt his slightly deadpan expression looked like there was a hint of concern]
Thrax; Hey Sal, what's wrong?
Salvador: [takes Thrax by the pinkie only with his thumb n index finger n led him to Dieter's bed n pointed at Dieter] Vatti. Sick.
Thrax; 8sighs8 Looks like he hasn't gotten over his sickness yet
Salvador: [puts his hand on his own forehead, as if wanting him to feel his father's forehead]
Thrax; 8felt his brother's forehead8
Dieter: [groaned a little but doesn't wake up]
[His temperature was dangerously high]
Thrax; Dammit 8looked round fr a first aid kit8
Ozzy: [pokes his head in] /Is everything OK? Loki n Rouge r awake, they're asking if we wanna hv brunch, or linner, whichever u want it to be/
Thrax; Dieter's got a high fever
Ozzy: /Oh no. How high?/ [went to feel it himself, then flinched his hand away] /Frank, tht's reli high/
Thrax; 8kept searching for a med kit8
Ozzy: /I think we better take him to a hospital. This heat is not gonna go away with meds frm a med kit/
Thrax; 8nods, helping Dieter up8
Ozzy: [turned to Loki n Rouge who were waiting at his room] /Meal postponed, guys. Di is not feeling good. We gotta bring him to the hospital/
Loki: [can't mindread him, turns to Rouge] Umm, wat's wrong?
Rouge; 8translated8
Loki: Oh no... Poor Dieter...
Ozzy: /I'll get the car ready. U help us chk out, bro/
Dieter: [groaned as Thrax manhandled him]
Sal: [reached up to hold Dieter's hand tht dangled ovr Thrax's side]
Thrax; C'mon Sal 8carried Dieter out8
Dieter: [groaned again]
Ozzy: [went to get the car]
Loki: Let's chk out then

Front Desk: Can I help u?
Rouge; 8handed her back the room keys8 We're all checking out
Front Desk: OK, sure [takes the keys n rings out a receipt] Here's ur bill, not yet deducted frm deposit
Rouge; 8looked at it8
[the price was reasonable for a low-rent motel, with a few small call charges n wifi charges deducted frm deposit, mostly on Ozzy's room since they had to conduct their detective business]
Rouge; 8paid the charge8
Front Desk: [takes the money, counted it, nodded n took out the rest of the deposit aftr deduction] Here ya go, sir. Thanks for staying at Sleeping Knights B&B. Pls come again
Rouge; Thank you 8rejoined the others8
