"I'm tired, night." She gets in her cot as I snuggle into the blanket, "Goodnight Nick." She's getting too attached to me. I sigh. Garvey, here I come! "Goodnight."

  I walk up to a giant figure as he turns around slowly. "So, you came!" I raise my fists as Garvey drops his cigarette, "C'mon! Take your best shot, kid!" I run up and throw a punch, only to reel back in pain before hitting him. I quickly grab my arm. "You can't even throw a punch, just go back to the streets where you belong." I try running as he laughs, but Switch won't move. I open my mouth and no sound comes out. Garvey smirks, "I'm sorry?" I tear at my hair. He runs up and stabs my gut like Reede did to Fox.

  I spring up in the cot, clenching my gut, breathing heavily and eyes wide. A doctor's frozen just a few feet away, "B-bad dream?" I take a deep breath, "Yeah. How long until I can throw punches?" He breaks out his ice, "You'll be able to get around in a week." He puts something in my IV bag. "Sleep tight."

  I'm back in the dark, Garvey smirks, "Back so soon?" I try to speak, it only comes out a whisper. "Fuck off." He sighs, "Why don't you like her back?" I barely get it out, "Who?" I start choking as he laughs, "You keep yourself distanced ever since Molly croaked." I need to come up for air! He laughs, "Oh shit, what'd that doctor give you?"

  I gasp as the doctor jumps out his skin, "What the hell?!" He looks down at me as I try getting up, but Switch is gone. "Uh, where are my legs?" He stiffens up, "I took them so you wouldn't hurt yourself." He walks over to a locker and brings them over. "Careful, your body's still healing." I swipe Switch back and put him on. After he locks in, he won't move. "C'mon Switch." Tango comes in, "Nick, you alright?" I snarl, "Switch won't work." She tilts her head, "Is that another voice?" I smile and laugh, She's still trying to love me, why? "The legs speak to me. But I can't hear him anymore."

  She hands me a bag of fruit and sits down besides me, "Whiskey got these." The doctor walks off, mumbling to himself, I wince, "Any idea on how to kill him yet?" She frowns, "There's no plan without you, so rest up." I rub my chin, "What're you thinkin'?" I smile and try punching forward, it hurts less than before. "We need to assume everyone from peacekeeper is a threat. We need an army to storm the base, equipped with flame weapons."

  She chuckles, "This isn't the damn future." I shake my head, "Flamethrowers, fire grenades, even rocket launchers. Ask Whiskey to pull strings from Engen." She rubs my arm with a twinkle in her dilated eyes, "Uhhh- Yeah, leave it to me."
