It was a beautiful morning. Edd, Matt, and Tom had an amazing breakfast. Kelcey didn't show up. Edd called her. She showed up with a scarf, earmuffs, mittens, and fluffy boots. Matt squealed at her adorable outfit. Tom chuckled.

"Why are you dressed like that? Does Tord let you wear anything?"

"Well boys... in Norway, especially in Oslo, it snows a lot. There was a big snowstorm last night. A few feet of snow."

"Oh shoot!" Edd laughed. "We didn't think about packing for snow!"

Kelcey smiled. "I gotcha covered. Alma!"

The two robotic beeps returned.

"How can I help you Kelcey?"

"We need some snow clothes. Specifically three of them. Green, blue, and purple."

"No problem."

A few toboggans, cloaks, scarves, mittens, and earmuffs went in front of them. They chose what they wanted. They left the home, got directions to the hospital Tord was at, and left the base. They decided to walk. Kelcey played in the snow. Edd smiled. Kelcey noticed his smile.

"What're you so happy about Edd?"

"We barely get snow back in Lincoln."

"Plenty of snowmen to make!"

They laughed. Matt blew into his hands. "It's way too cold."

Kelcey shrugged. After walking for a little while, they made it to the hospital. They saw that the reception room was very pleasant and calm. They walked up to the receptionist. She looked up and smiled.

"Hallo. Hvordan kan jeg hjelpe deg?"

"Oh, great. She speaks Norwegian." Tom sighed.

"Don't worry. I got this." Kelcey smiled. She cleared her throat.

"Hei. De snakker ikke norsk. Kan du fortelle oss hvilket rom Red Leader er inne?"

Edd, Matt, and Tom looked at each other, confused. Kelcey rolled her eyes. 

"I asked her which room Red Leader is in. I want to keep his identity private." 

"Hvem er du?" The woman asked.

"Oh. Jeg er hans datter. Dette er hans venner. I told her who we are."

"Du ser ut som han. Følg meg."

"Follow her."

Kelcey, Edd, Matt, and Tom followed her to an elevator. Kelcey watched her press a button. Floor Five. They made it to a room. 521. She cracked the door open, then closed it.

"Legene er opptatt med ham. Du må vente."

"Greit. Takk skal du ha."

Edd looked at her. "What'd she say?"

"Doctors are doing something."

They sat in the chairs beside the door. Tom looked through his medical files. He got frustrated.

"Is this hospital full of this crap? This is a bunch of bullshit."

"Tom, relax." Edd said, reassuringly. "Kelcey can read it. But I don't want her to worry."

Kelcey took the papers from Tom. "I'm not scared. I'll read it." She looked through the papers. She shook. "Jeez, I can't imagine how much pain he was in. Or still is in!"

Edd looked worried. "What happened?"

"Some shots went completely through, some caused internal damage, almost caused a collapsed lung!"

"Ow!" Matt cringed.

A doctor came out of the room. He looked at Kelcey.

"Er du de besøkende?"

"Ja."

"Greit. Dukan se ham nå."

Kelcey looked at Edd. "We can see him."

"Kelcey, you should go first."

"Um... okay."

She gulped, then opened the door.
