Chapter Four

I woke lying down on the jets seats. I sat up slowly. My arm, shoulder and leg were throbbing. They had been bandaged but they were soaked through with blood. Timothy saw I was awake and came over.

“Hey. How you feeling?” he asked quietly.

“Fine if you don’t count the ‘Oh my god I feel sick’ feeling.” I said tiredly.

“Ha-ha. We’ll be landing soon to get you into the hospital.” He smiled and looked up, “Ethan’s coming.”

“Ah Kayala you’re awake.” Ethan said as he came over.

“Yep.”

“Good” Ethan said. “The mission went well I think. You were the only casualty.”

“Great!” I said sarcastically.

“Sir we’re here.” Another agent said.

“Ok.” Then to me. “Come on Kayala.” Tim helped me up and together we walked out and down the steps. We went into the hospital and were seen to straight away. The nurse I had stitched my wrist, shoulder and leg and then bandaged them. I was told I had to stay in the hospital overnight.

“I can’t stay, I have to get back. Tim tell them I have to get back.” I said worriedly.

“I know you have to get back but if the nurse says you have to stay then you have to.” He sighed. “Ring your mam and tell her you’re staying at a friend’s house and you'll be back tomorrow. I’ll go get your phone.”

“Ok.” I said. Tim left the room and came back with my phone. I rang my mum and said I was staying at a friend’s house. She said that was fine and not to stay up too late. I sighed and lay back. I gave my phone back to Tim. He put it on the table then sat down and looked thoughtfully at me.

Ethan came in followed by a nurse.

“Hello Kayala. We need to run some tests on your blood.” The nurse said.

“What for?” I asked.

“Just to check everything is ok.” She said.

“Ok.” I replied, sitting up.

“You two can go.” She said to Ethan and Tim. Tim apologised and walked out with Ethan. “Now Kayala, I'm going to prick your finger with a needle and collect the drops in this glass tube. Ok?” she said to me.

“Yeah that's fine.” I sighed. The nurse cleaned my finger with a wipe and then pricked it with the needle. It stung at first then it just prickled. The nurse collected my blood in the glass tube. She collected 15 drops then gave me a cotton swab to hold against my finger until it stopped. She smiled at me.

“I’ll take this to be tested. You will get the results in a few days.” She said. “Do you want me to send the others back in?”

“Yes please.” I replied as she walked out. I waited a few minuets then Ethan came in.

“I asked the nurse to run the tests just in case.” He said.

“In case of what?” I asked suspiciously.

“In case you caught anything off the Togra.” He replied.

“Oh.” I said as Tim walked in.
