Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Untitled Part 85

~*Downtown Loft.*~

Shaundi frantically rang the loft's doorbell. When Aisha answered, she had tears running down her cheeks, her purse in hand, got what information she could from Shaundi as they made their way to the south.

~*Sangre Sedienta Hospital.*~

They all sat in the waiting room. They had been waiting for a word for two hours. Johnny was now pacing, running his hands over his face. Pierce was shaking his leg with his hands resting on his chin.

Shaundi kept looking at the door every ten seconds when it sounded like someone moved.

Donnie went to get snacks, but the Cafe was closed, so he and Ramon went out to the closest store.

Aisha was rocking back and forth, her fear coming to light.

A doctor walked out and passed them. Johnny cursed under his breath. "How the fuck long is this going to take? I'm going in there."

"Johnny, wait, give them a few more minutes huh?" Aisha called, then stealing her gaze to the door as the doctor came through.

An older woman came through the doors. Doctor Adams looked over the chart in her hands and at the group in front of her. "Are you all here for Ms. James-Akuji?"

The others, besides Aisha and Johnny, shown surprise.

"Yeah, what's the deal?" Johnny asked. The other two lieutenants shook their stupor and nodded in agreement.

She cleared her throat. "Well, for starters." As Dr. Adams called off the list of things that they checked over and procedures they had done, one thing rang louder in their ears and to Johnny, everything came to a crawl.

The three of them sank into the waiting room chairs. Johnny, for the second time in his life, had tears falling from his eyes.

"Oh, Johnny." Aisha held his hand, tried to hold back her tears. She quietly asked the Doctor if she could see Kyouki. Gat wasn't with them fully right now.

Dr. Adams led the way to her room. Smell of disinfectant, the hum of machines and her and the Doctor's footsteps sounded as they walked along the corridor to Ky's room. Opening the room door, the Doctor stepped out of the way, allowing the petite woman through. Ky was sleeping, and hooked up to two bags of meds and a few smaller ones underneath that.

"What's this?" Shaundi whispered. Right there with Aisha, she looked at the labels. 'Shit.' Her mind went back to what the Doctor told them a few minutes ago.

Aisha checked what was in Kyouki's notes. "Infumorph P/F for pain, ibuprofen to reduce swelling and Clindamycin, I'll give you a few minutes." The Doctor said. She exited, leaving the women alone.

Aisha grabbed a seat next to her girlfriend. The tears came, they came with provocation. Is this what Ky felt like seeing herself once sleep in the hospital bed? Never has she seen her still always moving doing something. It had been some years since she joined the Saints and this is the first time seeing her like this. They had an additional reason to mourn. Ish wiped her eyes and sniffed, holding Ky's hand. She couldn't ask for a better friend, getting and keeping her ass safe.

Kyouki groaned a bit. "Who hit me with the elephant tranqs?" Ky could taste meds in her mouth. "The fuck they give me?"

"Morphine—Well the generic kind." Shaundi said. "How you feeling?"

"Nothing, the last I remember was... I was at the Dome. What happened?"

"Pierce and Donnie brought you here. The others are here. I made sure Carlos and Ren stayed at the hospital. I told them I'd call when you woke up." Aisha nodded to Shaundi, who went for her phone.
