Hours pass, and the surgery is finished, and ash lies, sleeping in his room
-
[i]Etana watches Ash as he sleeps.[/i] "The wolves will pay for what they have done." [i]He says to himself quietly and clenches his fist.[/i]
-
Ash sits up, cringing in pain. "Hey man."
-
[i]He gently pushes him back down.[/i] "Lay down, you need rest."
-
"How much is the hospital bill? God I did not need this." Ash lied back down
-
"Don't worry about it, I'm paying for it."
-
"Thanks man." Ash coughs, groaning in pain
-
"I'm assuming they told you who I was before."
-
"Something called the Ace of Spades?"
-
"Yeah, their men is based on a deck of cards. Staring from one to ace. It starts from hearts, diamonds, clubs to ace. From weakest to strongest. The highest ranking is the ace of spades, I took that position."
-
"So, what exactly are they? A criminal organization?"
-
"That's exactly what they are. I simply joined to just steal things when I was younger. I later found out they worked in terrible ways. I worked my way to the top and attempted to destroy them form the inside. I guess I failed. The reason they are based of a deck of cards is because they are so strong all they need is 52 people. But now, they only have 51."
-
"Ah I see, you need to lay low, maybe they'll give up."
-
"No, they are coming after me. For revenge or for me to take back my position. I don't know their reasons. But they are coming after me. And I'll give myself to them."
-
"I refuse to allow it, you are not going to get killed before my wedding."
-
[i]He shakes his head[/i] "I'm going to end the wolves, alone."
-
"Not without your friends your not." Ash sat up, his face racked with pain
-
"I refused everyone's help already. Trinity, Jenna, Lance and Theron. I'm not allowing any of my friends to get involved with my own loose ends."
-
"You don't have a choice."
-
"I won't allow anyone's help Ash. I made this clear. I'm going alone and I'm going to end the wolves. And I'm coming back alive."
-
"As I said you don't have a choice!" He raised his voice, angered by Etanas recklessness
-
"Ash, this is not your decision to help me or not. I'm ending them alone. To protect the city and my friends. I made a promise to come back alive. And I intend to keep it." [i]He walks out of the hospital room.[/i]
-
"Idiot!" Ash attempted to get out of the bed, but failed, still weak, he resigned to lying back down and hoping Etana doesn't do anything stupid
-
[i]A doctor helps you back in bed and Etana walks out.[/i] "I'm sorry ash."
-
"Don't die, or else I'll kill you Lutu."
