*as the cabby drives down the road (extremely fast) I check my phone to see if my boss had texted me. '12 unread messages' it flashes on the screen. I check who the mesages are from and they are all from my boss* "as expected" *the cab driver looks back at me in curiosity*

Cabby: "what?"

Me: "keep your eye on the road!"

*the driver turns his head back to the road just as the cab is t-boned by a pickup. Glass shatters and the car crunches down into itself as the pickup rams through the cab like it was butter. I almost see it all happen in slow motion as the window glass shatters and cuts gashed into the side of my face. The pickup swerves right and knocks the cab into a barrel roll down the street. My head is thrashed from side to side as the cab rolls down the street. My head smashes against the broken door frame and knocks me unconcious. I wake up several minutes later as many people attempt to rescue me and the cab driver from the now ablaze car. Just as they get me free from the seatbelt and drag me away, the engine explodes and forces everyone back. I begin to loose consciousness (and LOTS of blood) as people run and scream in all directions. Color and light begin to fade as I hear sirens wash in. Then everything goes black*

*I watch the the event unfold, and sprint down the street. I walk cautiously up to Dodge, wincing.* "Shhh....Jesus..." *I tear the sleeves off of Dodge's suit, and bandage the biggest wounds. I kneel down by Dodge, checking his pulse.* "Come on...come on!" *Someone calls the EMT's.  The caller walks over to me.* "Hey, the ambulance will be here soon." *After verifying that Dodge is alive, I walk over to the cabbie, but I can already assess that it was too late. I walk back to Dodge, and kneel beside him.*

* I wake up in the hospital bed cords and wires protruding from all over my body, one of my eyes is covered with gauss and both my arms and left leg are in cast. I look down and see gauss rapped over almost my entire body. The nurse walks in*

Nurse: "don't sorry Mr. Hollis you will be just fine. The surgery went very well all the schrapnel has been removed from your body. We just need to keep you hear a couple days"

Me: "surgery? I don't remember a surgery? What time is it? Oh s**t! My producer is gonna kill me."

*i real my head and it falls back into the pillow as I let out a big sigh*

Nurse: "don't worry you will be fine. Why don't you just get some rest"

Me: "sure that sounds like a good idea"

*i close my eyes and almost immediately I fall asleep*

(Can I just say out of character that this is super awesomely fun)

[Rayleonarde]

*I tap on the door to Dodge's hospital room, after conversing with the nurse, convincing her I'm his brother (adopted, mind you). I walk in, and sit in a chair in the far corner of the room, twirling his keys on my finger.*

[dodge_hound]

*I notice Ray enter my room and lift my head to look at him, I wince in pain then drop my head back on the pillow*
"hey Ray. Hows the car?"

[Farewell]

*Gaia walks in the hospital limping to the emergency room and gets put on a bed token to get surgery*

[Rayleonarde]

*I stand up, and walk over to Dodge.* "Hey, man.  The car's fine, I drove it here. How're you? When the ambulance came, you weren't exactly responsive." *I lean in close.* "The lie is I'm your adopted brother, okay?" *I wink, and lean back.* "Don't worry about your bills, I got 'em paid. And I also drove over to the studio, and informed your boss." *I smile, apologetically.* "They're postponing the release, until your recovery."

[dodge_hound]

*I smile and laugh in relief and amusement. I look over at Ray* "you're so kind, thank you so much. honestly you didn't have to pay my expenses I could have covered it myself. Did the cab company refund you the cost?

[Rayleonarde]

*I chuckle.* "Yeah...they thought you were me, and they payed half of your expenses.  I didn't know your income, so I covered the rest."

[Aconitum]

(Wow, I missed a whole crash. Sorry about that. Phone's been weird.)

[dodge_hound]

*I look over at my phone and back at Ray* "it has been a strange morning. How bad was the crash? I only remember the car hitting us then rolling down the street, and being pulled from the cab. What else happened? Is the driver okay?"

[Farewell]

*gaia lays on the bed with the pieces of glass and her bone was snapped the nurse comes up and says* "sorry but we may have to Proform surgery ma'am" *Gaia looks at her leg* "yea I know thank you" *the nurse leaves the room quietly closing the door* "well this sucks" *Gaia then lays on the bed thinking about the surgery*

[Aconitum]

Acon ran into Dodge's hospital room, pushing past a nagging nurse. "Dodge! Are you ok? I thought you were a gonner for sure."

[dodge_hound]

*I look over at Acon with a smile* "ya I'm okay. Just a couple cuts and bruises, maybe some broken bones. Could've been worse." *I look over at my phone again and then rest my head back on the pillow*
