And Suddenly, A Threesome

[Ghost Raziel]

"yeah, looks dead, where I come from you can't be too safe dude." Cy listened to Aiden's thoughts and nodded.
"let's get him to a doctor then, and in the meantime you can explain what you count as suspicious, since it's never usually the same thing twice." Cy picked up his guns and holstered them before moving to pick up the apparently living crash victim.
"point the way dude, I sure as hell don't know where I'm goin."

[TempoPrestissimo]

Aiden carefully bend down, hooking his arms through the other man's. He didn't weigh very much, certainly a lot less than he looked (which wasn't all that much to begin with). He didn't understand why the man's stomach wound was acting the way it was. It sounded like a punctured lung sometimes did. Aiden had the unfortunate chance to see one off those when one of his troupemates had fallen the wrong way off a set piece. That had been a long day.

"We should probably take him to the church rather than a doctor's." Aiden half-joked quietly. "But it's not far. You see where the market starts?" Aiden nodded backwards over his shoulder. "It's just before that."

[Ghost Raziel]

Cy looked over his shoulder then nodded.
"then let's get a fuckin move on, and in the mean time you can tell me what suspicious means in this place." Cy looked at Aiden and started walking backwards.
"I hope this doc we're takin him to works for free, I'm broke here dude, and you don't look too well off either." He hefted the almost corpse a bit, getting a better grip on him as they walked.

[TempoPrestissimo]

Aiden looked from the guy he was carrying to the guy who was helping you. "Between this guy and you... that pretty much covers it." He said, his voice short. "I don't know what those are..." He nodded to Cy's guns, "Or Whatever you're wearing. And no, it's not free..." he sighed, not bothering to explain further. "Take a look around and guess, yeah? That should make most things that don't fit in pretty obvious..." How did you explain that? He stepped backwards into the door to the doctors, which was really more of a congregation of people who sort of knew what they were doing all in one place. and sort of looked around. "Someone feel like giving us a bloody hand, here?"

Of course, someone helped them, picking up the not-quite-dead man and dragging him off on to a bed. "Oh god this is going to cost me..." Aiden groaned, not to anyone in particular.

]Several Hours Later

It was very dark by the time Aiden thought to do something again. The unconscious man had stopped wheezing from his puncture wound, and the rest of the room, maybe even the building, was quiet. Cy, the loudmouthed man who had also fallen from the sky, was dozing.

Now was Aiden's time to duck out. He didn't want to deal with any more of this craziness. He was surprised it had not gotten him killed yet. So, very quietly, he got up, intending to sneak from the room and vanish into the dark.

[Ghost Raziel]

Cy wasn't normally a light sleeper, at least not when he was at home, but this wasn't home, this was some random dimension and his guide was taking off. Cy sat up and stared at him.
"where the fuck you goin? ditchin a couple'a lost guys out here in your world." Cy shook his head and light another joint.
"that dude lives he's gonna need someone to show him the ropes and it can't be me, I don't know the ropes either." He stood up and stepped towards Aiden.

[Ghost Raziel]

Aiden, halfway out the door, turned to look over his shoulder, glaring at Cy from under his hat. "Lost but not incapable, unless you're an idiot. And he won't be going anywhere for a while. He doesn't need to be capable." He said, sighing.

"If they catch me here, they'll want me to pay, which I can't, and then I will get in trouble, which is a lot worse than you might think." he said shortly. "I helped as much as I can. "If I stay here, I'm screwed. You have actually no idea." He said, shortly. Not that he needed Cy's permission to go, but now Aiden had to plan an exit where he wasn't going to be seen, if Cy was deciding to get in his way.

[rawful]

Somewhere behind them there was a sudden shuffling noise. Every now and again the man would jerk or twitch like an insect pinned to a spreading board, and as if they were re animating a corpse, jolted back to life with a deep breath.

With eyes half lidded, it was clear he was still only semi conscious, but the more conscious he became the more alarmed he was at his current situation.

"Hhnnn! Ou'sah.....ou'sah!"

Aiden didn't have long before the patient woke up the whole hospital and ruined his chance of exiting unnoticed.

[Ghost Raziel]

"I'm a bounty Hunter, I can make the money, 'sides, dude's up now, let's go check on him. I'm sure he'll wanna thank you for helpin." Cy grinned, tugging aiden lightly over to the former corpses.
"how you feelin not - so dead dude?" Cy grinned.

[TempoPrestissimo]

Aiden jumped when the man in the bed suddenly awoke. Of course, he had no idea what he was trying to say, and at the moment, he did not have enough in him to care what it was. if he got louder he was going to wake the doctors, and like Cy was trying to do, he was going to ruin Aiden's escape.

Somehow he should have seen this coming. Those two were too much trouble for his own good.

"I didn't save either of you for the thanks." Aiden said sharply, ignoring the rest of what Cy had said. The man in the bed was incoherent, and not very quiet. Aiden sighed. He was screwed.

[rawful]

Suddenly his eyes opened and began scanning the room and faces around him. His breathing became erratic and his speech frantic and desperate.

" HRRRNG OU'SAH! OU'SAH!"

He was panicking. Granted anyone would be if they woke up injured in a strange place but this man wouldn't have the privilege of a proper explanation before doctors and nurses came pouring into the room.

[TempoPrestissimo]

There wasn't exactly a lot of people, medical buildings were not the most well-maned places, not unless they were for the military, and this one was definitely civilian. But, Aiden felt an immediate wave of anger when he heard footsteps. Now he was screwed, and it was entirely Cy's fault. What he wanted to do was bury his talons in the man's midsection and be gone... But it was too late for that. Aiden took the anger and pushed it away. It wasn't going to help him here.

There was a few people that flooded into the small room; the doctor who had given them the bed, one of his helpers, a woman who was probably his wife (they'd live in the same building, after all) and someone who might have been another helper? Aiden didn't know. All he knew was the no longer unconscious man was incoherently thrashing on the bed and he got the hell out of the way to let the doctor take a look. It was one of his helpers who asked the inevitable question.

"How are you going to pay for this?"

Aiden sighed and shrugged. God damn it.

[rawful]

The doctor shook his head in disappointment and tutted like he was reprimanding naughty children.

"Tsk tsk tsk. Well I understand. You couldn't just leave him there now could you? No matter, there are..." he paused " other methods of paying."

In the background the patient was being restrained by the staff, causing an uprise in his panic. The doctor closed his eyed and ground his teeth. It was late, he just wanted to sleep, and the sound of the patient was grating on his nerves.

"My goodness Matilda what does he want!?"

"Sir I think he wants to go outside..."

"Fat chance." He scoffed, as if he was never going to let the patient leave ever . "Sedate him before he pops his stitches."

"Yes sir."

The nurse conjured up a large sinister looking needle somewhere from inside her jacket and shoved it right in there.

"Now restrain him."

"But sir?"

"Well we can't keep him sedated forever."

"Yes sir."

[TempoPrestissimo]

Aiden groaned under his breath, scowling and trying really, really hard not to kill someone. He could, as much as it wasn't in his character it really would simplify the situation and that could save him so much trouble. Those words. He KNEW those words. They've been said to him before and not once had it ever been good. He hated those words.

And now, by proxy, he hated the doctor who said them.

"Why not just bother him for payment when he wakes up and stops being delusional?" Aiden tried hard to keep his words civil. The Doctor scoffed. "If he dies he can't pay, now, can he?" He reasoned.

Aiden groaned. He hated helping people. He always did it, but it never ended up good. It was always too much trouble. "And if he doesn't, then you can make him pay for the services you gave him. I'm leaving."

[rawful]

The doctor shook his head and sighed. He wondered to himself, how could he have taken up such a noble profession, to save the lives of countless people, and be treated with such disrespect? It was a shame people like Aiden refused to acknowledge the benevolence of his deeds, but seeing the smiles of his happy healthy patients was rewarding enough in itself.

Unfortunately he couldn't pay the rent in smiles.

"Now sir, I'm only a doctor, in his condition I can't guarantee a recovery..." He blocked Aiden's path and nodded to one of his nurses who disappeared from the room. "Why don't you sit down and tell m what happened, perhaps we can work something out?"

[TempoPrestissimo]

Aiden declined the offer to sit, shaking his head and saying only, "I can stand. I have been sitting most of the night, after all." He sighed. He could have just left the fellow out there. Or made sure someone else found him. Why was he always getting himself in trouble? At least he could normally get out of it on his own...when other people didn't mess that up for him. "He fell, it looked like it was in a combination of mud and hay, which is why I think he isn't in pieces. I don't know that his name is, where he is from, or anything. Not even a guess." He wished he was back with his caravan and his sister. This night wasn't going to get any better.
