Lin's pov

I open my eyes slowly, my head is killing me. I blink a few times to get used to the fluorescent lights. I look around the room. I am in a hospital bed? There is an IV stand next to me, the liquid dripping steadily into the tube, in to the syringe in my hand. I try to move 'Auch wrong move' I think to myself, while a shooting pain goes through my head and body. 'What happened'. I try to think of the reason why I am in the hospital, but I can't think of any, instead the headache in my head gets stronger, pushing all the thoughts I am trying to form away. I feel around with my left hand, until I find I big button. I lift it up checking to see if it's the nurse button, it is. I click it and then wait for a nurse or someone to come in.

After two minutes a nurse and a doctor walk in. "Hello sir, I am Doctor Smith this is nurse Penny". I nod politely "I'm Lin, nice to meet you". They both nod in agreement. The nurse checks on some things like my IV, while the doctor starts asking me some questions, mostly on how I was feeling, which was like shit. "Do you remember what happened to you Mr. Miranda" Doctor Smith asks. "No, I don't and please call me Lin". I respond with a small smile. "All right, well Mr. Mi- Lin, you were brought to the hospital by your boyfriend, he said that his ex beat you up, you have stitches on the back of your head, 2 broken ribs and some severe bruises". He looked at me to see how if I was following what he was saying, when I gave him a small nod he continued. "We think at the very best you have a severe concussion, so we are going to do some test on you now, is that all right?". I nod again. For the next half an hour they do all kind of test on me. "So far it seems like it is indeed a concussion, but we'll have to wait on some test results to be sure". I give a small nod and smile "Can I see my boyfriend and son now?". The doctor shifts a bit and looks at me with a bit of sympathy "your boyfriend left about 9 hours ago, I am sorry sir, he didn't have a child with him". My heart sinks a bit, but I quickly lift myself up 'he is probably just taking care of Sebbie at home. I want to go home' I think before answering the doctor. "All right can I see any other visitors I have?". The doctor nods "yeah, but only three people and for half an hour, you need rest".

The doctor leaves and returns 5 minutes later with Renee and my parents. I flash a big smile when I see them. "Hi guys I am so happy to see you". My parents return my smile, while Renee just looks uncomfortable. "You're awake, My Hijo, are you okay?" My mom asks. "Yeah, I am all right, where are Groff and Sebbie?". My parents look sad now and so does Renee. "Uhm so I am the one who has to tell you, has the group decided" she gets closer and takes my hands in hers. A flash of sympathy goes through her brown eyes. "So uhm Jack took Sebbie from you when you were beat up and he told John he has to live with him and Sebbie or else he would uhm- do things to Sebbie". My heart sinks into my stomach, tears blurring my vision "wait so Groffy and Sebbie are with Jack". Renee gives me a sad nod. "Why aren't the police called yet" I try to scream at them, but the only thing that comes out of my voice is a hoarse whisper. "He would hurt Sebbie then too" Renee responds, a tear rolling down her cheek. "Aren't the police trained for situations like this, call them". "Bu-" Renee starts, but I cut her off "call them, we will find a way to get them back, safely". "Very well" Renee says giving me a small pat on my shoulders and a gentle kiss on the cheek before leaving the room to go call the police.

My head starts pounding again, thinking of Groff and Sebbie, my dad notices. "Get some rest Hijo, tu madre and me will go wait in the waiting room and take care of the police". Gracias papa" I respond reaching out my hand to give his a small squeeze before he leaves. After they leave, I close my eyes, letting a deep slumber take control of me.

The police arrive about half an hour after Renee made the call. The group quickly explains everything. Daveed showing the phone conversation between Groff and Jack. The police quickly draw up some papers and stuff and ask the doctors if they can talk to Lin. Seeing as he is asleep right now the doctor refuses and tells them to wait until he is awake.

I wake up a little disoriented until I look around and remember that I am in the hospital. I press the nurse button again, I want an update on the police thing. Nurse comes in, a polite smile on her face. "Hello Mr. Miranda, good to see you up again". I nod impatiently, waiting for her to finish. "How long was I asleep for, how is the police situation, are Sebbie and Groff save?". The nurse looks a bit dazzle, trying to process all of my questions. I tap my fingers impatiently. "You were asleep for 36 hours, the police would like to talk to you and I don't know sir". She finally answers looking a bit proud of herself for remembering all of the questions I so rapidly shot at her. 'I was asleep for 36 hours who know what Jack has done to them in that time. Worry taking over my body I try to keep my breathing steady. "Are you feeling all right to talk to the police?" Nurse Penny asks me. "Yeah, yeah" I respond, still focused on my breathing. "All right, I'll send them in".

Two police officers walk in, shaking my hand before introducing themselves to me. "This is officer Mike and I am officer John". My heart skips a beat when he says John. I nod politely "Lin" I introduce myself. I fidget with the sheets in my hands, waiting for them to go on. They start explaining that they want to rescue Sebbie and John, but that they need to locate them first, so they want me to call my cell phone, so they can get a location. I need to play it cool, because they can't know the police is involved. After that they want to quickly extract them. 'God, I hope this plan works' I think, before saying a little hail Mary in my head.
