Mouse looked down apon his prey, the thick red fog that had
llshrouded his mind for the last year evaporating in the briliant
light of a noonday sun, forcing him to face what he had tried not to
see. Before him, knealing in amidst a pool of blood was a young
woman, her presence forcing him to remember it all.
He remembed. The pain of loseing shampoo forever. The fealing of
being helpless to stop her, paralized by the old ghouls touch. The
bitternes the sight of her happieness with Ranma caused. The sink
into despair and desparate need for vengance that slowly took hold of
his soul. And most painfuly he remembered Akane. How she had saved
him from himself, only to cause an even deaper depretion after he
realized what he had almost done. Murder, he had recognized his own
cowardace, he fled, runing from the scene, from the consequences,
from himself. Looking up, the anguished stare from the wounded girl
slamed into him, causeing him to stumble back. He recognized the
anguished look on her face. It was the very same one that he had
worn when he realized that shampoo was never going to come back, when
he lost the will to live and even the memory of why one should. He
stumbled back unable to escape those grief strichen blue eyes. A
moment later he was free, eye contact broken as she fell, unconcious.
Able to think clearly for the first time in ages he decided not
again, I will not run again. "Help!" at his yell four women started
runing to him, "Thease people need a doctor now!"
Ignoring the strangled gasps the women let out as they saw the forms
laying in a pool of blood, Mouse rushed forward, trying to see what
he had done. A quick glance showed that the girl would live, only
the swelling on her arm sugested that something was wrong with her,
reminding him of the sharp crack she had made at the botom of the
stairs. As he looked towards the man, however, his thoughts turned
to ice. No, it cant be, it wont be, I will not be responsible for a
death! He knelt quickly at Conrads side, noticing at once the blood
coming from his mouth and the knife wound in his chest. He very
carfuly pulled the knife free, his mind strangely anilitical. Seeing
no movement from Conrad, not even the hint of a response, his
thoughts went to his training. I must have punctured his lung, it
would be the only vital organ that my blade could have reached at
that angle, it also explains the blood at his mouth. He knew what
had to be done. Ignoring the blood and gore, he forgot the outside
world, everything exept the formula he had been taught as a child.
Pump, pump, pump..... cheak for a pulse, pinch the nose, ignore the
blood, force air in, pause, again, pause, again. No pulse? pump pump
pump .... in what might have been seconds or years later his efforts
were rewarded. The slighteds pulse and a shallow breath told him he
had not lost. Conrads short gasping breaths as a man carfuly placed
him on a streacher greater than any other prize he had ever won.
Looking around for the first time, he wondered where he was. I dont
remember any of this. The bright sun overhead iluminated a small
park filled with people in uniforms runing back and forth. What
happend to the restaraunt? Where am I? Then his roming glance fell
onto the bloody grass at his feet. Its unimprotant, he decided. The
only thing that is improtaint is what I did, and what reprecutions it
might have on the lives of his inocent victems. Glancing at the
people surounding him, he aproached the one woman who exuhded an air
of comand. She was tall, with shoulderlength brown hair, and was
wearing a white uniform bordered in blue. As he aproached she began
to thank him for his actions in saving the mans life. "No" he said,
cutting her off, "It is my fault, I am the reason that they were hurt
and must be punished." Almost pleading with her to arrest him he
contunued "please I attaked them and it was all my fault/"
"Mam, you can go in now. He needs his rest though so you can only
stay for a few minutes." Doctor Fering said to ami, as he lead her
down the crisp, clean, atiseptic hospital coridor.
Ami rushed through the door, uncertain about what to expect. The
shock of seeing Con laying there, in bed and conected to various
machines brought her to a stumbleing halt. Proceding quietly, she
tiptoed the rest of the way into the room. Unwilling to disturb his
sleeping form she sat down quietly in a chair next to the bed. Her
surprise was total when his eyes slowly opened and he softly began to
speack. <Ami, what happend, are you alright, where are we?>
"I'm fine" she replied,"I only got a broken arm." Lifting the heavy
cast into his line of sight she continued, but we did it again."
<Did what?> Con asked, trying to think clearly through the haze of
drugs and pain that clouded his mind.
<Remember what happend on the way to the theator?> She asked. <Its
happend again, and this time I know where we are.> She quickly
continued before he could ask the obvious question. "We got taken to
the Macross Con. Somehow during the fight we got taken to the
macross.>
<Huh?> Con responded blearaly <got to go, the Zentradi are gon blow
up....>and fell asleep again. The exhastion and drugs combinde
overcoming his willpower, plunging him back into darkness.
Leaving Conrad to rest in his room Ami left his room and had started
down the hall towards the nurses station when she saw a woman dressed
in a uniform. Recognizing Lisa(whats here japanice name as that is
what Ami will be using) and realizing why she was most likely here
she quickly stepped through the first door she saw, and tried to
listen to what she was saying.
".... so what it all comes down to you see it that we have absolutly
no records on any of them. I need to go talk to them at once and
find out what is going on." she overheard Lisa saying.
Uh oh Ami thought, this could be bad. How are we going to explain
our presence here? I need to get us some records and soon. As she
started to mentally list all of the things that she would have to
fabricate she almost missed a perfect opertunity, looking up just in
time to catch the tail end of their conversation.
"Well, I will have to go get permition from Dr. Fearing for you to go
see him. He is in realy bad shape, and I dont know if he is alowed
to take visitors right now." The nurse said as she stood up and
started down the hall, her back to Ami.
"Well he better let me in to see him, this could be very improtaint."
Lisa said, following as the nurse lead her towards the doctors
lounge.
Nows my chance, Ami thought. Swiftly running to the nurses station,
she sat down at the computer and got to work. Hearing voices
aproaching five minutes later she quickly saved her work set the
screen back to where she had found it and quietly snuck down a side
hall. Yes, that should cover us for now, she thought. With any luck
I will be able to do the same thing to civilian computerbase as well.
Looking in on Conrad, Dr. Fearing said "I am sorry Comander but he is
in no condition to be questioned right now, you will have to come
back later." looking over his shoulder he said "Nurse please print
out a file on patients Ami Mizuno and Conrad Borsting." Turning back
to Comander Hayes he went on "Have you tried talking to Miss Mizuno
yet? I beleive that she was just here if you hurry you might be able
to catch her before she goes home."
"If she even has a home" Lisa muttered under her breath.
"What was that mam?" asked the nurse as she handed Lisa two files
full of papers.
"Oh nothing" Lisa said dismisivly. As she walked down the hall
glancing at the stack of papers in her arms. Hm I wonder what
happend to our records? she thought, they seem to be on file here at
the hospital. Slipping the papers into her briefcase she continued
on to her last stop, the city achrive office.
please take the time to tell me if you read this and how you liked
it. even one line would be nice. thank you very much.
