"Ah! Why is she not waking up?"
"Chief, she is still sleeping, we need to wait".
"Jared, is it because of the tranq shot? Or due to the wooden board? Or was she fretting over it all again? God, I am going crazy!"
"Chief, it was necessary!", Jared seemed tired, too.
Another sound resounded in the room, footsteps coming closer while a few stepping away.
"Child, can you hear me? It's already been 3 days, you should wake up by now. Do you want this old man to die worrying?", a very familiar voice filled her ears but she couldn't open her eyes.
"Father, it is just blood loss, she is stronger-"
"She is not that strong, you will turn her into a beast! Stop already with that bloody training!", a furious Chief Lee stomped out leaving his son and Ryan with Zsadin.
"Don't mind him, pumpkin. He is just frustrated. But he was right, you should wake up now, your salary will be reduced if you wake up any later!", Jacobs sounded worried.
After a very long time she finally opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings. She was currently in the left wing hospital while a few people were standing away from her bed, their back towards her.
Struggling to sit up, she suddenly groaned due to the pain in her head, causing the people to turn and rush towards her.
"Pumpkin, are you okay? Do you feel dizzy? You might feel pain in the head and a lot weak due to the blood loss. Try to move it less-"
"Shut up, will you? Let her breathe, man! Anyways, Z, thank god you woke up! That moron, James has been eating away at my patience-"
"How is James?", her question stunned Jacobs and Jared, but they ignored her. After a while, all of Zsadin's team came to meet her, while she just nodded at them. Finally, Ryan came up to her and sat down beside her.
"What happened to Francois and....Caleb?", the hesitation was evident in her voice but Ryan chose to ignore.
"They, escaped somehow. But....we have a much bigger issue right now", he stopped for a while before proceeding.
"Brandon....has escaped, from Cannon Prison".
"How did that happen?", she sounded a little surprised.
"They say, someone from the inside helped-"
"Ridiculous! We don't recruit traitors, Ryan! You know that", her calm voice made the hairs on his body stand on edge.
"It is hard to believe, but we are investigating-", she stopped him again.
"They have appointed Daisy to investigate as they don't want any mistakes".
"Okay. Is Allie too with her?"
"Yes, she is doing the rounds right now".
"Bring her to me! I need to tell her something", saying this she turned away from him while Ryan just sighed.
"Chief, do I have some debt towards you? Why do you always push me towards hell?", frustrated, he left her room, leaving her all alone.
Zsadin felt amused but the thought of Caleb fleeing away....didn't seem right though.
