Chloe watched as ghost cleaned up her wounds. "Ghost? How's sage?" She asked. "Not sure he didn't seem to well last time they checked up on him." Ghost said. Chloe frowned. "Can I see him?" She asked and ghost nodded. Chloe walked to the door and opened it. She saw the blood on the wall and got worried. She called the medical team and they came to help sage. She then walked back to her room and laid down to go to sleep. Rebel laid at the foot of Chloe's bed as she slept.

Sage had to admit he really just wanted to sleep, so he wasn't all too pleased when the medical people came and woke him up only to bring him into another dark room. He fought best he could, though that only resulted in them strapping him down. It really only made him panic, especially once they placed some kind of mask over his face. He was rather confused by then, and it was admittedly quite difficult to draw in a breath, so after a while he sort of just went limp, though his small consciousness level continued to cause him to panic. It probably wasn't helping his situation, but he couldn't help it. He was hurting and confused and upset, and the doctors were moving slowly and didn't seem to care of they saved him or helped him or not.

Chloe woke up and couldn't sleep. She walked out side and leaned on the wall watching the stars. She didn't notice ghost walk out until he spoke, "what are you doing out here so late?" He asked "can't sleep" Chloe replied. Ghost got out a cigarette and lit it. Chloe looked over at him. "You smoke?" She asked and ghost nodded. "Wanna come do the rounds with me?" He asked and Chloe nodded. They got into the car and ghost sniper was in the back. When they reached there stop ghost got the sniper out and set it up on the bonnet. Chloe was standing behind him sorta off the the side. "Wanna try?" he asked. Chloe nodded and ghost stepped back. Chloe looked trough the scope and ghost helped fix her position. After that Chloe and ghost headed back and went to there rooms. Chloe fell asleep and didn't wake up till morning.

Sage sort of just lay there for a while, not able to move or speak or even whimper, but he was definitely still in a panic as the night went on. Especially when the doctors and nurses turned the lights off and went home and just....left him there strapped to the bed and drugged up. His chest was heaving by then, and he'd coughed enough so that the muzzle they'd strapped to his face when he bot one of them in a panic was already wet with blood. They hadn't even helped anything...they'd just played around and strapped him down and freaked him out, which definitely wasn't helping things. And now he couldn't sleep either, even though he was so sick he couldn't even move or breathe almost at all.

Chloe went to the training area Unaware that ghost had followed her. Go study in the corner quietly watching Chloe train. Chloe punched the punching bag hard. She was pissed that the doctors hadn't helped sage. She turned to see ghost and almost fell as she jumped in shock.

Sage wasn't aware of how much time had passed after a while....he'd sort of just gone numb except for the pain in his chest. He wasn't really aware of anything, but he did hear swirling voices after a while. They were much too loud...but it told him the doctors were back, poking and proding and not doing much at all to actually help yet. If they ever would. He did still wonder about Chloe, much to his dissapointment...he wished he could forget about her, but it just didn't work to push her out of his mind.

Chloe went to see sage. He wasn't back yet? Chloe went to the doctors and demanded that they where supervised around him. Ghost was doing his own training and stopped as he was called to go to the medic bay. "What?" He grumbled as he arrived. "You and agent werth are going to watch over the medic team." A strange man said that Chloe had never met. "Ya mean rocket ?" Ghost asked and the man nodded. Ghost and Chloe went onto the medic room where sage was.

Sage could dimly hear other people come in, and he rolled his eyes slightly. Well, in his head. His eyes were actually closed. But whatever. His nose twitched when he smelled Chloe, and his ears pricked weakly up in her direction before forcing them back down. Why was she here? She didn't care....did she? That man, ghost, was also here. Chloe's boyfriend? He didn't know. He wasn't sure he wanted to.

Chloe and ghost stood there and watched the doctors. Chloe walked out as she got frustrated and ghost stayed. Chloe walked to the dining room and slumped to the table and rested her head on it.

The doctors seemed to pick up the pace a bit when Chloe and ghost came in, and started actually running real tests. He heard Chloe walk out, and was fairly disappointed, then was somewhat mad at himself for caring. He felt a mask go over his face, and soon enough he drifted off. So they'd finally started surgery....he supposed he could only hope that ghost being there would prevent them from messing it up.
