We Broke the Hospital Rule

So as you can tell, interrogation didn't go very well. In fact I think that might've been the worst fucking our shit has ever taken because I woke up yesterday morning in a hospital.

I don't know if she's mentioned this before but Annalee's got this "Don't get someone to fix something you can fix on your own rule," that applies to pretty much everything. She has a vehement problem with hospitals. She doesn't like them, she doesn't like putting the people inside them in danger, she has her own med kit, so she says don't check into hospitals.

But a few days ago she did. She checked herself, Jaime, and me into a hospital. That's how fucked we were.

I can't exactly remember what happened after the interrogation. We were underground in the storerooms, and Annalee was questioning the Proxy and trying to get him to tell her why he was there, when all of a sudden the door crashes in and this dude dressed like a cop starts firing at us. Annalee put a knife right through his head, but then he...came back to life I guess. I don't remember that being a part of a proxies skill set. 

This guy, Morningstar, I guess, came down and tried to get at the proxy. Annalee had me wheel him into the back cellar while she took him on alone. From what I heard from the door it sounded like she was really getting hurt. Her ribs were already broken I mean, and she'd make a fuss about sitting up in the morning and then here she is trying to fight off this fucking guy who just gets up when you put a knife through his head. 

Then the next thing I knew, there was this pool of that black stuff you guys are always on about leaking through the door, and Annalee was freaking out and trying to break it down and...jeez it just kind of latched onto me. I'm probably remembering this wrong but it started tearing me apart, and I blacked out and next thing I know we're in a hospital.

I guess out of everybody I got off the most scotch free, again. All I have are these weird burns all over that I hope are going to go away at some point. Annalee's ribs are officially in pieces and one of them punctured her stomach so she's been throwing up blood and been in a really terrible mood. She has a concussion, a broken nose, and is missing a ton of teeth. There's also this big chunk missing from her right arm, like somebody bit into it. 

Jaime's legs are gone. I know he's a hardened gang criminal and all but I feel sort of bad for the guy. He was chained up and didn't have any way to escape, and he's still in shock. He's been laying around staring at the wall with this terrified expression. I don't know what we're going to do with him, to be honest. It seems cruel to just leave him to fend for himself after we killed all his gang buddies and then crippled him for life.

Annalee made up a lie we were mauled by a mountain lion and I somehow fell into a campfire. I think she might be trying to bribe the doctor into letting us go without asking too many questions, which seems like a not too good plan. I don't know how rational she's being right now, considering last I spoke to her she was going to rip out her IV and make an escape via window, forgetting we're on the fourth floor and the fact that there is absolutely no reason she should be alive at the moment. She's really really pissed off by this whole ordeal.

She's being secretive again though, which okay I can understand because if I'd kept the secret about who all we have locked up we wouldn't be in this situation. 

I wish she'd just tell me some more of what's going on though, so I at least know.

The proxy mentioned Georgia, which was really weird. Georgia, see, she was a doctor. Like a really smart doctor. A lot of the notes in Anna's archive are hers, and you can actually read those. If he knew her...I don't know. I shouldn't be here talking about shit without telling her. 

I guess bottom line is we're all for the most part alive. 

Don't worry too much, I'm sure we can sort all of this out.

  1. Good to hear all of you are alive, shattered, but alive.

    Danny keep an eye on her, if she isn't willing to keep her anger under control, someone has to do it for her, you need to make sure that she doesn't do something stupid.

    Good luck.

    1. Well she's been pretty sedated, so she's angry but also high. I don't think she's going to be able to do anything to crazy in her state, but I'll keep an eye on her.

  2. Remind me to send Flowers. Maybe a Get Well Soon Card. Hey. Danny. Tell Annie that I will always consider her my special friend. I REALLY look forward to seeing you all again. Really tempted to go back and burn that nice little shack of yours down.

    OH. Hey Danny. Tell me something. You allergic to cheese?

    1. GOOD. Great. So. What I am going to do is get a vat of boiling cheese and start dunking you in it. Delicious. I had a taste of your flesh, and I can tell you. The flavor and texture SCREAM to be immersed in boiling liquid cheesy goodness.

    2. Morbidly wondering what my flesh tastes like. Don't think I really want to know, though. Probably like Skittles because I eat so many of them.

    3. This is a conversation I really don't want to be having.

    4. Well he bit you, at least ask a nurse to make sure you don't have rabies.

    5. Daniel, my advice? Become lactose intolerant. FAST.

  3. The burns sound like an adverse reaction to the azoth. Speaking of which, if you start showing signs of exposure, hearing voices etc, please let us know.

  4. Good to hear you guys are still alive. And my advice about Jaime? Leave that fucker to die (Unless you want some information from him still). Jackasses that hurt the human race without cause deserve little better than what's been handed him. And, lets face it, a gangster without legs is going to die. Some other gang'll do things that would make anyone sick in revenge. Meeting it would probably be a faster death for him. Sides, the Jackass attacked you guys first. I'm amazed you haven't already become at least a little harder. It's admirable. Remember to thank her for not making you into a monster. It's the greatest gift she can give you.

    1. Whoa. Whoa. Do you have history with gangs, Linux?

      There's a third option. I could make prosthetics for him.

      Delete
    2. Well I mean, I feel bad because he's only a kid.

      Really Prosthetics? You could do that?

      Delete
    3. Maybe a little, most of it not personal. It almost always ended after I WAS involved though. Anyways, why would you give him movement. You can't trust those guys. It'll just end up with Jaime screwing you guys over. Trust me. All gangsters can't be trusted. And the leaders won't follow you. They will (Try) to take you over.

    4. I made some for R, and one for Roy, and I'm getting better at it with each one I make. If you send me his measurements, I'll see what I can do.

      Linux, "all X are Y" is often a false statement. There's exceptions to every rule.

    5. I never meant to imply that there could never be a "fixed" gangster. I apologize for doing so. However, that would be the exception rather than the rule. I suggest not taking the risk. It just seems like you'd be putting yourself at risk. Taking on some scared guy, mildly dangerous. Taking on anyone with the mentality of a gangster (or religious fanatic) is dangerous as hell.

      Delete
    6. Well, we're all fanatics in our own way. And the guy is just a kid.

      Delete
    7. Once you lead a gang, once you kidnap people, and god knows what else that "kid" has done, you can't be called a kid. Still, I'm no there, ask Annalee. She'll have more perspective than me, and I'm gonna guess that she has more experience with those types of people than you.

  5. Maybe I should come back down for another visit...
