Tuck barely notices the time as he plays inside a Party Shop. Full of costumes and novelties, he goofs around the aisles as a firefighter. Pretending to drive a firetruck, put out pretend-fires and save store mannequins. Later swapping for a werewolf costume, then a stormtrooper.The fun dies when his name is called."Tuck?" Eris's voice comes from his backpack. He rushes to it and digs out the radio."I'm here." Tuck responds."Tuck, where are you? The party's in an hour." Eris grumbles with annoyance. "Did you get the thing I asked you?"Tuck winces, remembering why he was sent into town. "I… I forgot." He hesitates to admit, and Eris goes off in his native language. "Eris, please, I can't understand you when you sound like a telenovela." Tuck responds."Tucker Enrique Demetrius Mayflower! Get back here right now.""It's not Mayflower" Tuck tries to correct."Ay""Tuck, do as he says." Came Vincent's calm voice."Roger that, Doc" Tuck says and starts to pack up. He returned home in t

"Drink this…" Vincent returns with a glass of water and her favorite fruit. To her surprise, he brought an extra blanket. "This one's heated." He explains as he covers her legs with it. Pleasant warmth soaks her skin when he does. "There won't be any tests today… Just rest. I'll be nearby if you need anything-""Vinny." Eris's voice stops him. "You won't believe this.""What's the matter, Eris?""I just got word… She's alive. Isla is alive, and she's with Soo.""That's great news." Vincent smiles, glancing toward Cole."What about my nurse? Is Rue alive?" Cole wondered.Vincent hesitated, but asked anyway. "Are there others? Any news about Rue?"A long silence passes before Eris answers. Cole held her breath, expecting to hear the worst news."Isla was the only one rescued… but… I can tell you that there isn't a nurse by that name, among the ambush victims… She made it out… We just don't know where she is."Cole stayed silent, feeling uneasy when he answered."Thank you, Eris." Vincent

With a final, careful twist of the flathead screwdriver, Vincent secured the new lock on their bedroom door. He took a step back, surveying the room with a meticulous eye, mentally ticking off each item on his list. The bathroom and hall closet were stocked with extra supplies, each weapon in the room discreetly hidden and loaded. Everything was in its place, a small measure of control in a world that often felt anything but secure. He locked the door behind him, the sound of the click somehow both reassuring and heavy.As he turned to leave, a sudden vibration from his wrist caught his attention. He glanced down at his tech wristlet, his heart sinking when he saw the spike in Cole’s BPM. Without a second thought, Vincent bolted upstairs, his heart pounding in his chest.He slipped on protective gear with practiced speed and pushed open the door to Cole’s bedroom. "Cole?" His voice was steady, but the urgency was unmistakable. His eyes swept over the room, taking in the disarray—furnit

Over the days, the weather got warmer. Vincent and Eris were hard at work, while Tuck spent afternoons skating within the halls. Often, he left to enjoy the sunny day. However, he always returned to see Cole.Vincent secretly worried Tuck was having too much play time with the patient. As he was much more athletic than Cole...Then one morning, he walked in to find the pair practicing the Warrior Pose and other less challenging exercises. Cole had a smile and hardly had to stop to catch her breath. Unlike the first week, when she could barely get across the room without panting. Today she wore a candy-blue two-piece yoga outfit. Her toffee-brown locks are spun in a pair of buns. While a dimpled smile stretches on her pink lips. Today marked the 103rd day, and Cole's was healing well.To Tuck's surprise, Cole lowers herself into a full split."How are you doing that?" Tuck stares from where he posed; on his yoga mat. Then he stood straight and watched as Vincent entered the room. "Come

"Vin… Vin… BLONDIE!" Tuck's voice calls eagerly from his right. Vincent stirred awake, lifting his head to see that Tuck was pointing at his wrist. Where a similar tech wristlet was beeping away."Could you turn that off? Jeez…" Tuck groans, rubbing his tired eyes as he is about to return to bed."Oh god…" Vincent stares at his wristlet, which showed an increase in his patient's heart rate. "Why is she awake?" He mumbled, forcing himself to sit upright. "It's 1am… Cole's never up this early.""She's probably having a nightmare." Tuck guesses, throwing himself back in bed.Vincent chewed his lip as he thought about it. Eventually, he laid back down and silenced the wristlet.--"SOMEONE!"Eris opened his eyes, instinctively pulling out his pistol from his clutter. Natalie did the same as she slipped from their bed and entered the hall."That was Cole!” Tuck came out of his room but was yanked back in by his collar."Don't leave the room". Vincent blocks him quickly and shuts the door.N
