AJ
I suddenly jerk awake with a gasp, immediately noticing the oxygen mask over my mouth.
"Hey, take it easy, kid," a young, white male nurse tells me, pressing down on my left shoulder. I look around frantically, soon realizing that I was in the back of an ambulance.
Pebs was on the little pullout seat on one side of my head while Nick was absent.
She was on her phone, typing frantically. I suck my teeth to get her attention. When she looks up, I glance at the nurse then back at her.
"What happened?" I asked in Spanish, hoping that this guy can't understand me. Pebs furrows her eyebrows briefly before answering, "You fainted? I dunno. You were breathing hard then you were just out."
I squint at her, discreetly checking my pocket under the thick white blanket I had draped over me. It stopped right at my chest; I then realized I felt like a damn mummy.
"Where's my crossbow?" I say in a mildly panicked whisper. My eyes wide at the taller, older person. She rolls her eyes, "Relax. Relax. I took it and your little toothpicks and put them in the glove compartment."
I let out a deep, relieved sigh. "Wait, why're we speaking Spanish?" She asks and I give her a stale look, "I would speak Arabic, but I have a feeling you don't know it."
"You know Arabic?" I groan, rolling my eyes. That's when pain shot all through my face and body.
"Fuck!" I mutter in English. "Yeah, he fucked you up bad. You good?"
I nod, "I will be. What time is it anyway?" She looks down at her phone, "Almost 6." I groan again.
"I'm surprised you're just now feeling it," she comments. I shrug, looking around at the different medical devices, technology, and apparatuses.
"Speaking of which, you handled everything back there very... familiarly. Like you've done that before," she says with suspicion lacing her tone. I look back at her, seeing that she has an eyebrow quirked.
"I already told you: I don't wanna get into it. Just know that I've seen worse," I say seriously. "Excuse me? How much longer until we reach the hospital?" I ask, my accent a bit prominent from speaking Spanish since I woke up.
The nurse guy looked a bit surprised, but answered, "We should be there in less than 5 minutes." I hum, "We're going to St. Joseph's... right?" He nods, "Yep."
I internally smile, taking another relieved breath.
Everything will be alright then.

You"May I have Dr. Nahla Avery?" Kid asks after she's settled in the hospital bed, now sporting a gown that seemed a size too big for her than usual.
"Sure. I'll go get her for you," the woman doctor, who was hooking her to IVs, says after finishing. She grabs her clipboard before leaving the room.
"You talked to the police yet?" She asks in a very quiet voice. I shake my head, "Though, I have a feeling they'd visit us later on today. Might grab Nick and me first since you're all... hospitalized and shit."
"I won't be for long," she says surely. The statement had a somewhat sinister undertone. "So, what? We need to get our story straight?"
She raises an eyebrow, "What? You need a ruler to straighten it?"
I give her a weird look, "Nigga, what?" She shakes her head, "My bad. I'm still on edge."
"I feel you, bruh."
"You got the story down, though?" I nod, "They took something before bringing us here, roughed us up, then passed out."
She shakes her head, "They told us to meet them. Will threatened your life and is the one behind X's murder. Him and that big dude." I look at her in confusion.
"That's the main reason for all'is. Tell them the truth when asked." My face further contorts into confusion. "What about the chemicals?" I asked. Just as I did, I hear the room's door open and turn to it.
There, stood a woman, no older than myself, in a doctor's coat. She looked to have been mixed, but could just been light skinned. Her hair was long and curly and she had square framed glasses perched on her nose.
"A'Javi, what the hell?" She says as soon as she catches a glimpse of Kid, who smiles sheepishly in response.
"What happened? Was it-?" She trails off, looking over at me wearily. "No, not this time. I need a favor," she dismisses.
I watch as the two conversed.
"What is it?"
"What drugs have BZ, DMHP, Kolokol and a bit of arsenic in them?" She asks this in a way a child would ask an adult about the birds and the bees.
"Please tell me you did not use the crossbow," the woman takes off her glasses and pinches the bridge of her nose. "Nahla, it was for a really good reason. Now, tell me."
The doctor sighs, "Well, that sounds like a different thread of LSD. Could pass it on as such." She finally looks at me and looks a bit puzzled.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't notice y- wait a minute, you're Pebbles Johnson," her eyes widens in excitement. I chuckle awkwardly and nod, "Yep, in the bruised flesh."
She looks back at kid then me, "A'Javi didn't have anything to do with this, has she?" I shake my head, "No, this was all me. She tagged along. She actually saved us."
Nahla hums, looking back at Kid. "Let's clean your face since they failed to do that before you put on that gown." She goes into the cupboards on the other side of the room and came back with a little first aid kit.
"While I'm fixing you, you can go on and tell me what happened."
After AJ filled her in, her face was clear of blood and scattered with bandages. "Ah, now I see why you asked me about the BZ and stuff," she says, putting up everything.
"I'll make sure to get them when they come in. Leave it to me," she smiles. Kid smiles back graciously then does something that surprised me.
She kissed her.
Smack dead on the lips.
It was a quick peck, but it seemed to have had feeling behind it.
"Whoa, wayment. Kid, who is she?" AJ's eyes widen slightly before she rubs the back of her neck awkwardly, "Oh, this is Louis's momma."
"You still kiss your baby momma? Ain't you with Cojimar, now?" I start to feel this secondhand jealousy swell in my chest.
"Oh, it's nothing like that. We're just best friends. It's common in our little group," Nahla explains with a little laugh. "Yeah, completely platonic," Kid says. "Kinda like how I kissed Jesy."
I continue the subtle glare at the two before nodding, "Ok, I believe you."
"Besides, I'm married," the doctor then shows off her ring. "Damn, Walter," AJ mutters with a low whistle. I nod in agreement, "He got guap."
"Enough of you unintentionally calling me a broke bitch," AJ starts. "Go on and find out if they're here and do your thing, chiquita."
Nahla nods before leaving out. I slowly look at the smaller adult. "You a li'l mystery, eh, Kid?" AJ just smiles a little, "I guess so."
