Reese's POV:
Reese opened his eyes slowly and turned his head and sighed Shane slept on the chair that sat next to the hospital bed, Spike walked in to the room and saw that Reese was awake.
“Well the douche is alive sadly” he turned to Rex who had walked in behind him, Spike patted Shane’s hand and kissed her head she groaned and woke up.
“And Shane too has woken” Rex said, he wasn’t old but he did speak Shakespearean like a pro.
“Who’s awake?” Shane sat up and rubbed her face, her eyes trailing Spike everywhere he went, Reese would give anything to have her look at him like that, her eyes finally looked at Reese who was in the Syndicate hospital bed “Well hey there Sleeping Beauty, did Spike give you a kiss to wake you up out of your sate?” she asked and made kissy noises, a snicker came from Rex’s lips he was obviously amused by the way she said it. Spike walked back over to her and whispered something into her ear, a blush spread over her ivory skin and her eyes seemed to turn a lighter colour of brown.
“Okay guys enough of that.” Rex said all amusement left his face and eyes. He was more laid back then Jackson was but then again Rex was no Jackson, he didn’t have the constant threat of danger everywhere he went, Shane swatted Spike’s hand that he had put on the arm of the chair.
“You” she said turning toward Reese, he’d sat up and had opened his mouth to ask how he’d gotten here, but Shane had beaten him to it, “Are here because you were idiot enough to shoot Spike and kidnap me, consider yourself lucky that I didn’t kill you when I had a chance” she looked at Rex who had a smug expression on his face “and you I know your waiting for this so, thank you for putting the tracker in my arm” she cringed “god I can’t believe I just said that” Rex patted her on the arm and then turned his attention to Reese.
“Why did you shoot Spike?” He asked and moved around the bed there was an eerie grace to the way Rex moved his steps were almost silent against the vinyl floors.
“I had to” Reese said he looked at Spike and noticed that Shane had gotten up to look at his leg there was a bandage wrapped around both his leg and head, it was pretty obvious that Shane was trying to play the nurse, she was failing.
Shane's POV:
I looked up from Spike’s leg “What do you mean you had to?” I asked, he couldn’t be serious I might do stupid things sometimes because I had to but to the point of where I had to kidnap someone and try to kill another is just ridicules! I looked back at Spike’s leg the thing was a bloody mess and like any good fiancé would – no one knew that we were engaged – I poked the ruddy great big hole in his leg, he cringed and swatted my hand away, job done I smiled and went up to Reese.
“I got told to…” he trailed off then he whispered “I’ve said too much already” he looked down at his hands, I guess you could say my anger got the best of me because I tried to strangle him with the IV line that was in his arm, Spike came up behind me and grabbed my arms and Rex hooked his hand between the tube and Reese’s throat. But what really got me angry was the way Reese acted just like all the other times I’d tried to kill him he just closed his eyes and just laid there. I let the IV line slip from my fingers.
“You were told to by whom?” Rex asked when it as obvious that I had calmed down.
“I can’t tell you” Reese looked at me and my eyes narrowed “I can’t or I’ll be killed” Spike shook his head.
“You’ll die if you don’t tell us” I said, my anger flared up again but I bit my lip and didn’t act on impulse and kill him in the bed.
“You remind me of your mother” Reese said and moved grabbing my chin “But you do have your father’s features” there was a moment of shock, Reese and myself had worked as partners for the Syndicate, but not once had Reese met my parents and yeah we might have gone out before I met Spike but that was ancient history, how did Reese know my parents? My rage was about to boil over when the doctor walked in and was going to place another line in Reese’s arm, when I grabbed it and stabbed it into the notch of his elbow a scream erupted from Reese’s throat.
