After Lei's ship was long gone, we finally snapped out of it, and all looked at each other.

"What uh .... What do we do now?" Winwin asked.

"Get cleaned up, eat some food, relax and see what they stole." Lucas said, shrugging.

"They didn't take anything." Johnny told him.

Lucas was surprised, "Really?"

"Yeah, they only searched the ship when they first took you guys, they took inventory and never came back."

"Those guys were absolute idiots." Winwin shook his head.

Johnny reset the ship's coordinates and we all walked back down into the cabin. I had missed it so much. Johnny, Lucas and I all sat in the kitchen and let Winwin shower first. 

It was awkward and silent for a minute. There was so much to talk about. Where would we even start?

"You guys hungry?" He asked us.

Even though we had eaten earlier today, we still had barely eaten in days. So we both nodded. He got up from his seat and began to prepare something for us.

"Are you guys okay like, medical wise? Anything you want me to check out?" He asked.

"I'm sure we could all use some pain killers. I honestly would rather have a drink instead." Lucas said.

"If I can, I'd like to do that, too." I said.

Lucas nodded. "Of course I'll share." 

He came back with two tall bottles of hard liquor and poured four drinks. He placed them around the table, and we sipped on them lightly until Winwin joined us at the table.

"Oh hell yes." He said when he saw them.

Lucas then went to his room and cleaned his wounds and showered while Johnny continued to cook dinner. Winwin went into the living room for a while to watch tv.

"So, I see your foot is finally getting a break." Johnny said to me as he stirred something in a pan in the kitchen while I was still sat at the table.

I looked down at my foot still in the boot and laughed. "Yeah." 

"Now it should actually start to feel a little better. And start to heal." He set down the spoon he was using and came to sit next to me at the table.

He started examining it and lifted my leg.

"Does it still hurt a lot?"

I shrugged. "I feel like I have a high pain tolerance. It hurt when I was walking on it without the boot but not enough to stop me from doing it."

He chuckled and looked up at me with a grin.
