[Rouchly an hour before the attack]
Ryu Ran through the hospital door dripping wet from the rain that fell like a million bullets. "What was that about a heat wave again," he said to himself looking for signs to A&E. Then a nurse walked up to him.
"Excuse me, are you Ryu...
"Yeah"
"Your sisteris is just this way, I'm affraid all of our beds have been used. your sister is fortunate that she came in when she did, another moment and we'd have had to find somewhere else."
As the nurse led him to his sister he felt a tutch of anger, a hospital short of beds, he didn't press the matter. He klnew the hospital well and knew they would do everything they could. All other thaughts were put aside as he spotted his sister. She was a wreck.
Her right eye was swolen from heavy bruising and a cut pcontinued to bleed on her cheek. She had a naturaly pale complexion anyway but thisw was something else... she was ghostly white. she was drenched in sweat. she bit her lip to fight the pain as a drop of swet hung over a rough graze above her right eye. She sat in a wheel chair, slightly reclined.
The nurse smiled "Kiyra, your brother is here." She then looked at Ryu who knelt beside his sister. "She's been hurt badly all over her body, we dont need an exeray to tell she's brocken two ribs on her left side and one on her right. We will anyway. Who ever did this knew what they were doing."
"Kiyra, it's... it's me, Ryu. Sorry I took so long, traffic and that fuckin' chicken chaser 'aint all that good anyway."
Kiyra giggled slightly and hugged her chest with a shuddering breath.
"Shit, I'm sorry." He held her cold hand and whiped a tear from her face.
The nurse stepped forward "I have to be somewhere else now so I'll send for someone else while you wait foer an x-ray."
