~Back at the hacker space~

CONT. WRENCH POV:

We parked in the side alleyway of the game store and quickly carried Y/N into the back entrance of the hacker space, where Sitara's doctor friend James was waiting for her. I gently placed her on the couch and James rushed to her aid, we all stood around him worrying about Y/N whilst he worked on the damage.

"Im going to need some space to work, it's best you all leave" James replied as he rippped open her shirt, revealing the bruises on her stomach which disfigured some of her tattoos. "C'mon guys, let's go." Sitara said ushering us back outside towards the van.

As we all huddled in the alleyway around the back of the van, I started to feel my anger rise as I punched the side of the van leaving my knuckles bruised and leaving a massive dent in the side.

"Wrench!! Calm down everything's going to be ok" Marcus said trying to reassure me.

"ILL KILL HIM, ILL FUCKING KILL HIM!!" I screamed as the anger flowed through my veins, "I KNEW WE SHOULDNT HAVE LET HER GO IN, I FUCKING TOLD YOU SITARA!! NOW LOOK AT HER".

The rage in my lungs didn't seem to scare the rest of the crew, except for Josh as a case of his Asperger's he didn't like loud noises. He covered his ears and started to whimper in his hoodie "STOOPP IT PLEASE!!" Josh yelled and we all went silent.

"Come on Josh, let's go for a walk and leave these two to talk" Marcus said putting his arm around him, walking out into the street disappearing from our sight.

Sitrara turned to me "Wrench I get your angry so am I but she said she could handle herself, and she did it's just...." she said in a concerned tone.

"ITS JUST WHAT SITARA!!" I yelled back too her.

"ITS JUST....Dusan got the upper hand this time ok." She said raising her voice, huffing at me whilst crossing her arms looking down at her feet. She continued "Look I know you care about Y/N a lot, but so do I. We all do, she's a part of Dedsec, a part of this family....and we're not going to fight over what we could have done differently. What we're going to do is we're going to find that data and take Dusan down!!".

Just as I was about to yell at Sitara again, James walked out into the alleyway towards us. "is she alright??" I asked with haste. James looked tired and beat down with Y/N blood still lingering in spots on his shirt.

"She alright.....she's one tough cookie but there is quite a bit of damage. She has two broken ribs, a broken nose, possible fractures in her jaw and skull and of course extensive bruising and swelling. I've given her some morphine to help with the pain, and a sedative for her to relax so she needs her rest." James continued, "once she's up and about, get her to come to my clinic so I can do a check up on her" he said as he started to walk away.

Sitara yelled out towards him "Thank you...James". He waved his hand at us as he continued to walk away, and Sitara returned her gaze back towards me. "I'm going to check on Marcus and Josh, I'll give you some time alone so you can watch over Y/N" Sitara then walked off out of the alleyway.

I stormed back into the hackerspace to see Y/N laying on the couch bandaged and bruised. Seeing her like this made me feel weak, because I knew there was nothing I could do......and I couldn't just do nothing. My rage started to build again and I started punching the wall to the point I was putting holes in the plaster, crying at my pain. However it wasn't at my gashed knuckles, but at the fact that I let this girl get so close to me.
