Beep…Beep….Beep the sound going in and out, the lights above going by faster than he could register. He feels it coming on again, he was fading “mom!” he says frantically jolting up but his body is too weak, the stinging he feels from the sudden movement causes him to panic further. The weight of hands holding him down. “No, No I have to save my parents!” he shouts to the top of his abilities, when a familiar voice calls him from behind “Dillion.” He leans his head back only to see a blur with white hair “why can’t I see, something is wrong with my eye” he wiggles more even with the stinging and pain he continues “Dillion, please don’t move….Dillion! look at me.” He looks up from to see nurse to nurse, everyone in panic, he fights the urge coming on once more, his head lays back as the blackness swallows whole.

Beep…Beep….Beep, Morphine…eh? He questioned himself within the emptiness of his mind. “How long has he been out?” Taisuke ask walking over to Zero in the patient room with Dillion “only three days, the doc says it’s iffy to know when he will wake up”, “how are you holding up” he asked Zero while she remains silent making it clear that something was off as she avoided eye contact not out of embarrassment but evading her emotions. “I managed to hack a few of the street cameras from that night, those black SUVs seemed to be headed north.” He stares at her, she was cold his gaze moves down seeing her on the laptop, again. He sighs “Zero are you alright?” and again the words drift around the room. He shakes his head walking over and sitting down next to her sipping on a coffee cup. He extends his hand to her the coffee cup between her focus on the screen; she takes it “what is it?” the aggressive curiosity in her voice triggers Taisuke into a nervous tapping on his cup, while looking around the room  before his eyes connect with outside the window watching a storm roll in from a distance. “Stop tapping your making me fidgety too” He comes to a halt, “what do you plan on doing once you find the answers your looking for?” Zero takes a moment to look at Taisuke when he asks, the look on his face gave it away; she blushes before drawing her white snow colored hair out of her face. “Thank you…..for the tea, I mean”, Taisuke just waivers his hand in just. “Those cocky assholes think fake license plates would prevent me from finding them”, “Who?”, “I should D.M. my coven to see if I can borrow a slugger from the vault”, “whoa! Guns… now we are upgrading to guns? Zero, dude I think you’re losing it.” Zero sighs “It’s clear he isn’t waking up for a while, either you babysit or you can help”, “but you haven’t said anything for the past week” she closes her laptop standing up and walking to Dillion.

His mouth covered by a breathing tube, the left side of his body covered in a plastered light green foam underneath third degree burns “that explosion hit him pretty hard tai, he was inches from it.” Zero says “they’re also are saying his left eye was melted so they will have to replace it with a bionic one and at least a month before the starfish foam to heal his skin damage.” Taisuke scratches the back of his head “how is this kid still alive?” the room sits quite the only conversation between the heart monitor and the dull whine of Dillion breathing. The only thing interrupting was the chime Zero’s phone let off. Unlocking the screen and staring at it, her eyes jolt up catching Taisuke, “what?..what’s that look for?”

*The coven elders have called for your appearance*

“We need to leave” rushing over to her laptop and shoving it into a old vintage briefcase, it was torn and suffered from water damage over the decodes. As she has her hand on the door handle “you coming or not? Babysitting is always still an option.” He looked at her, the black hoodie she was wearing clearly it had to be her father’s….or maybe a lovers. He shakes his head “yeah, I always got your back Z”.
