Kendra woke up with bright lights around her. She blinked a few times trying to adjust to the world around her.  She coughed, forcing herself forward slightly.  She blinked again, her brain finally processing the images.  She was in a hospital.  She breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around her.  She could see out into the hall where a small group of people were gathered.  A smile immediately grew on her face.   Her entire team, her brother and another person she couldn’t make out were standing there talking.

                Suddenly someone looked into the room and their eyes grew. He proceeded to get Jared’s attention and point him towards the room.  Even from her bed, she could tell the group became filled with excitement.  She smiled again as Jared rushed through the doors and gathered her in a hug.  “Oh,  you’re okay!” he said with a large smile. Kendra laughed

                “Yeah, mostly” she replied.

                “You’ve been asleep for four days,” Jared informed her.

                “Only that long?” she joked with a large smile.  Jared began to explain to her what had happened after she had gone unconscious.  Apparently, Rainsford had somehow made it to the Chateau with Kendra in tow.  He proceeded to get the rest of the captives to safety and call for help.  The military had shown up in full force, getting everyone off the island and providing some intense therapy for anyone who needed it.  After he finished, Jared looked at Kendra with a smile.

                “You know Kendi, that Sanger guy saved your life, along with everyone on the island,” Jared said.  Kendra smirked and looked out into the hall, spotting Rainsford.

                “I saved his first,” she said with a smile.  This would certainly not be the last she heard of Sanger Rainsford, and that was okay.
