The hospital: Slade/Ruby/Tai San/Lex

[_slade_]

Slade woke up with an almighty cough. He felt like his chest was on fire, and that he had to cough it out. Coughing away, and letting his lungs rattle in their cage, his eyes started to slowly adjust to where he was. As he had first woken he hadn’t remembered what exactly had happened, nor where exactly he was. However, as his chest eased and his

Lex slowly cracked open his eyes, not exactly sure where he was. In an attempt to gather his wits about him, he shook his head a little only to find he had the worst stiff neck ever. As he reached his arm up to hold onto his neck, he then realized that he had fallen asleep in a chair off to the side, and remained there all night. Lex remembered that he wanted to be there if there was any change in Tai San. Lex slowly looked around, shifting his body because his neck hurt so bad. Oh great..that Liberty guy and girl are still here..just what I needed. Lex didn't pay the two of them any attention..he had resided to keep his mind soley on Tai San

Patch jogged backed to the hospital from his room, slowing down a bit as he neared and trying to catch his breath. He felt more than a little dizzy and lightheaded,the after effects of too much coffee and not enough sleep. The first person he noticed was Slade, still awake and right beside Ruby. Patch's first thought was that the rough looking young man must really love her. It brought a smile to his face even though neither one of the unconscious girls seemed to be doing any better. Not wanting to interrupt Slade, Patch went over to Tai San quietly but loud enough to make his presence known, and checked her pulse. It was slow, steady, and she didn't seem to be having any outward signs of distress. The knot on her head was pretty sizable, but after looking over the rest of her, feeling here and there, nothing else seemed to be worrisome. It was just a waiting game now

Slade had heard Lex's outburst, something about some other girl. Remember Lex's declaration the night before about how himself and Ruby weren't welcome to stay he couldn't help but smirk slightly as Lex blurted something out about another woman and dashed off. Looked like the Sheriff had himself in a spot of woman trouble, and Slae couldn't help but that perhaps it was what he deserved. Well, if he was gonna be so rude to his Ruby, when she was unconscious and all.... It wasn't that Slade wanted to stay, and he knew Ruby would want to get out of the city as soon as she could and get back to Liberty. But then again, Liberty probably didn't exist anymore, not after the fire. Plus, either being in the city or being closer to the city would mean he would be nearer to where Josh was... His slight smirk had quickly turned to a worried frown, and remained there as he heard someone enter the hospital

The newcomer didn't say it in so many words, but the weighted tone of his voice and the piercing gaze told Patch all he needed to know. Ruby's boyfriend was obviously growing impatient just waiting for her to wake up, and he wanted to know when exactly that would be. The trouble was, Patch had no idea when that would be. It would have to be soon though, for both Tai-San and Ruby. If they didn't wake up today,...the chances that they would got slimmer by quite a margin, and whatever damage they sustained would be more likely to have lasting effects. What worried him most though about that prospect, was the fact that they wouldn't be getting any liquids or nutrients. The hospital didn't have any saline solution bags or many syringes that could be used to hook up an IV even if they had one. Tai-San or Ruby could die from dehydration before they died of smoke inhalation or a head wound. Ruby was the one he was most worried about in this regard however, since she was probably dehydrated before she'd even arrived. If Patch could
