Scarlet opened the front door to Jon's house letting Jason and Bear in first before helping Jon inside with Levi, Scarlet then shut the door ''Second door on the right, there's a closet inside.'' he explained to the two, they then went upstairs to find what he was explaining, Jon then looked over to Jason who was sitting with Bear ''Come here.'' Jason looked over to him before getting up and walking over to him and sat beside him ''I know what it's like losing a parent, trust me I lost them both.'' Jason looked at him ''How?'' Jon looked at him ''Car accident, I was even involved that's how I got this.'' he said pointing to the long scar over his left eye ''How old were you?'' Jon sighed with a slight smile ''Seven.'' he said thinking back to what happened that night.

Jason looked at his feet ''My dad left when I was five.'' Jon looked at him ''How old are you now?'' Jason looked at him ''Nine.'' Jon nodded and put his arm over him hugging him, Jason wrapped his arm's around Jon's waist ''Suck's right?'' Jason nodded into his side, Scarlet came back down and saw them smiling a little, she looked up seeing Levi carrying four pistols not loading them right now. He passed by Scarlet and walked over to Jon handing him a pistol and a magazine, Jason sat up letting Jon load the gun, Levi crouched down and set two gun's down loading one.

He then put the safety on and handed it to Jason ''When your ready you can shoot it alright, but only when you get the proper training form either me or Jon.'' Levi explained, Jason nodded before getting up and walked over to Scarlet doing and saying the same thing, Jon looked at Jason admiring the gun ''Soon.'' Jason looked at him, Jon could see this kid trusted him a lot, Jon rubbed his back as Levi brought over a medical kit, they all looked at him ''Do you know what your doing?'' Jon asked sitting up more ''Uh, no.'' he admitted and looked at Jon, Jonathan smiled and pulled the soaked apron off seeing more blood pour out from the wound.

He took a breath in and slowly breathed out ''Ok, open the kit.'' he said and tried pulling up his pant leg having a hard time considering it was jeans, he saw there was no exit wound and sighed ''You have to get the bullet out.'' they all looked at him ''You mean, dig threw your wound to find the bullet?'' Jon nodded unsure if he could stay awake for the process ''It's the only way it won't get infected.'' Levi nodded, Jonathan turned to Jason ''Go with Scarlet.'' Jason looked at him with pouting eye's ''But shouldn't I know how to do this to?'' Jon paused looking at him then at his leg and sighed ''Take out the pair of tweezers and clean them off.'' Levi took the tweezers out and took a alcoholic rub thing to clean them off he then turned to Jon as he slowly and painfully turned his inner calf in more so the wound was more vertical.

''Move it around until you feel it hit something, make sure it isn't bone, I'll tell you if you've hit the bone or not, do not un-pinch the tweezers until you've hit the object your removing.'' Jon explained and Levi sighed out pinching the tweezers down and put them into the opening of the wound, Jon clenched his fist's and shut his mouth tight pushing his teeth together ''Jason, get me a cloth from the kitchen.'' Jon managed to say threw his shut teeth, Jason nodded and got up running to the kitchen grabbing a cloth and ran back giving it to Jon who put it into his mouth and bit down, Levi kept looking at Jon making sure he didn't hit bone.

Levi then hit something that moved so he stopped, Jon looked at him feeling the said thing move ''Was that the bullet?'' Jon nodded he then took the cloth out ''Grab it with the tweezers, this is a difficult part.'' he said and put the cloth back in his mouth, Levi found it again and opened the tweezers and grabbed it tight enough so it wouldn't get lost in his leg again and loose enough that it wouldn't pop out of the tweezers, he slowly pulled the tweezers out and Jon relaxed again hearing the bullet hit the ground, he took the cloth out of his mouth and looked at Levi ''Now, get a medical pad out of the box and a wrap and wrap up the wound.'' Jon said as if he was reading something from a script.

Levi did this and Jon looked in the box seeing there wasn't any duct tape and looked to Scarlet ''Kitchen, top drawer next to the fridge there's a roll of black duct tape, can you bring it here?'' she nodded and left to get the thing that was asked for ''It's just so that the wrapping doesn't come un done.'' Jon explained seeing Levi's confused face. Scarlet came back and gave it to Levi who wrapped it around top and bottom of the wrapped part, Scarlet then saw how tired Jon was getting and crouched down to him ''Which room is yours?'' she asked, he pointed up stairs ''Third.'' they helped him to his feet and walked him upstairs.
