《47 - Drugs》

Chris and TJ ran over to where Harley, Franccesca and Craig stood, a nurse walking away after talking with them. Franccesca had stitches on her cheekbone and over her eyebrow, and her arm and her abdomen was wrapped in gauze but she seemed fine.

They had to handle the whole mess at Headquarters and the scene before being able to letting the Geeks handle everything at the scene and the Cobras handling the club.

Andy was in bad shape when EMTs got to him, according to Vinny. The bullet had severed one of his major arteries so he was still in surgery, but it wasn't looking good for him.

They took the sole survivor who trief to run into interrogation, as well as the Royal Council leaders just in case.

Manson was gonna blow a gasket, though, since the State Department is gonna catch wind of us doing that.

"Where is he? Is he okay? Please tell me we weren't too late," Chris asked frantically as they approached them.

"The kid's fine, we got to him just in time. He's got a concussion, broken wrist, two busted ribs, and a few bruises and scratches, but all og that is from the crash," Craig explained. "He does have a pretty nasty black eye though."

"Poor lil thing is shaking, though," Ash said sadly.

"He's awake?" TJ asked.

"Yeah. They also ran a tox screen, though. He was drugged, that why he was unresponsive earlier when we tried to talk to him. Some sort of cocktail with ketamine and other stuff, almost enough of it to take us all out twice," Craig added

"Medics say its a miracle he didn't even seize up or anything," Franccesca said.

Chris gulped, started to get scared that the worst happened as he looked at TJ, who looked equally worried, then back at Craig. "D-Did they...?"

"Relax, they ran a rape kit once they got him here, Chris. That nurse you saw just came to tell us that it came back negative," Craig assured. "They just roughed him up a bit, but most of his injuries are from the crash."

Chris and TJ sighed with relief.

"The kid's still freaked out like hell. Can't say I blame him," Franccesca said.

"You okay?" TJ asked her. "Misery said you took a hell of an asphalt slide."

"Nothing I can't handle, but they gave me some heavy pain meds, so I'm on paid leave now," she shrugged.

Chris nodded at them before he walked into the room, TJ continuing to talk with Craig, Franccesca and Ash.

He sees Matt in bed between Kuza and Ghost, Angelo seated nearby. Matt's face buried into Kuza's side as he clung to him, tubes in his arms and bandages on his arms.

They turned over to me and Angelo stood up.

"Hey... Did you guys get them all?" he asked.

"Aside from the one survivor that ran, the passenger up front survived but took a big blow to the head, still waiting on word from him, driver died in the crash. Geeks rounded up the rest of the stiffs," I said, then motioned to Matt. "How is he?"

"Mostly shaken up. Doctors are gonna let him rest the night, give him another scan, and release him in two days tops, depending how much he improves," Angelo explained. "The tox results showed a lot of ketamine in his system, and a mix of barbiturates, propofol, and even scopolamine,  which they're flushing out now."

"They told me," Chris said as Angelo handed him teh charts. "My god... Its a miracle he's alive."

"That's why he couldn't respond at first, but he managed to still be conscious enough to set off the earring alarm before it got worse," Angelo explained. "But them drugging him this bad, its probably why the undercover cops never responded back. Matt's body was probably resistant enough for the drugs, but maybe Hale and Momsen weren't."
