NICK'S POINT OF VIEW

"Let's move further west"

The new Bravo1 team has been exploring the island now for almost six hours. They'll be camping soon. They've found a few lost enemies prowling around the island but Nick and his team have taken care of them. They've done a great job of expanding the perimeter.

"Sir, Master Chief, sir!"

"Yes, Sergeant John, please, at ease"

"Thank you, sir! If I may speak freely?"

"Of course, what's on your mind Sergeant?"

"Some of the guys are getting tired and wondering if we could make camp for the night?"

"Yeah, I guess we did well enough for one day. Let the guys know and I'll have a look around"

He excuses himself and then walks back to the rest of the team. Nick makes his way through the thick bushes. He then finds a rock to sit on and as he sits down the pain in his leg comes shooting through.

"Fuck this pain!!"

He realizes that they haven't stopped for a while and that he maybe has been blindly driven to destroy every last one the attackers that raided their camp. He takes a deep breath and for the first time, thinks about you. He can't seem to get that last image of you out of his head. The beauty that's you consumes him so. He slowly stands up and checks the parameter for the night one last time. Pain shoots through his leg with each step he takes but he musters through it.

He goes back to the men and they make camp for the night. Each one gets a turn to stay alert while the others sleep. The next morning just before dawn they're all ready to explore and secure even more of the island. They work thoroughly through every inch of the jungle as they walk to the west. They've passed the building they've cleared just a view days ago. As Nick and his team walk even further through the jungle he feels a sudden icy cold wind blowing over him.

"Did you feel that?" He turns to John.

"Yeah, that's pretty strange for this kind of heat we're experiencing now"

Then Nick remembers the words of the Admiral when they just landed on the island.

"Oh shit!"

KIM'S POINT OF VIEW

It's time to wake Helena up and you've asked the nurses to call you when it should be done. You stand next to her bed and check her vitals. Everything looks good and she's ready to wake up. You take the syringe and slowly injects it into her drip. This will wake her up slowly and this way you can control the outcome. Most of the patients that have been asleep for so long tend to be confused when they wake up.

You watch as her eyes open slowly and then she starts to look around her until she sees your face.

"What….what happened?" She tries to get up but you push her down.

"You've been stabbed and had a few surgeries. I need you to lay down and be still in order for you to recover. Can you do that for me?"

She looks around bewildered but then she nods her head. You give her some ice chips because you know that her throat would be very dry after being asleep for so long. She takes the chips and you see that the sedation hasn't worn off completely.

"Where's….where's…Ray?"

"Who? You mean Nick?"

"Yeah….yes….where is he?"

"They just got deployed again but you should know that he was by your side almost every day"

"How long have I been out for?"

"About two days"

"Oh god! Oh god! No….what happened to me? What did you give me??"

You stagger back at her reaction and the weird questions she's asking you. Then you walk back to her side and hold her hand, pushing her back into the bed.

"Helena, we just sedated you. As I said, you were stabbed, and for you to recover we needed to sedate you. Part of your liver and pancreas was raptured but you're doing well"

You see sheer panic spreading on her face. It's as if she's seen a ghost. She immediately turns pale.

"What's going on? Are you feeling okay?"

She tries to sit up but you push her down again. "Please you need to lay down. Tell me what's going on?"

She looks around her bewildered and then looks at you as if she wants to say something but she keeps her lips sealed.

"I can't help you if you don't talk to me, Helena"

"I'm fine, really. Can you please call Jen for me?"

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, thank you for everything you did. I just really need to talk to Jen"

Jen is one of Helena's closest friends here on base. She's been at her side a lot during this time. She has a job in the kitchen.

"Okay, I'll get her for you"

You turn around and wonder why did she freak out like that. Maybe it's some after effect of the induced coma. You also wonder why she asked about Ray and not Nick but then again, she was confused and you can't take anything seriously after waking up a patient that was asleep for two days.

You make your way to the kitchen tent and find Jen behind the counter. You explain to her the situation and then walk with her back to Helena.

"You feeling better now?" You smile, looking down at her.

"Yes thank you"

You walk away hesitantly and move into a position so that you can still keep an eye on Helana. You see as Jen bends down to talk to Helena and then Jen covers her mouth as if Helena just told her something shocking. You see as Helena looks around her to see if anyone saw them. Helena holds Jen's arm as they're clearly arguing about something.

You can't help your curiosity and tries to move a bit closer to hear what they say. You move to a patient close to them and look very interested in the patient's chart.

"…you can't keep this a secret, Helena" Jen whispers to her.

"I can't tell anyone, it will hurt a lot of people around me"

"Helena, you just came out of a few surgeries and you almost died. You're going to have to tell your doctor."

"NO!" She shouts it out loud for everyone to hear. She then smiles at everyone. She pulls Jen closer.

"Especially my doctor can't know…not her"

"But then you have to tell someone, someone in the medical profession. They need to know"

Suddenly Helena's monitor starts to scream out. You see Helena curling up in pain. She moans and screams out in pain. You rush to her side. She grabs her stomach.

"Talk to me Helena what's wrong?"

You push Jen aside and she stands there with her hand over her mouth in clear shock.

"Helena! Talk to me, where's the pain?"

"It's my…my….damn!!"

You see tears streaming down her face of all the pain. You try to determine where the pain is coming from but it's far from where you operated on her.

"Helena! What's going on?! Where's the pain?!!"

"Aaahhh….please...my…my baby!"

Hope you've enjoyed my updates! Looking forward to another exciting update tomorrow. Enjoy!
