Few minutes later we arrive in a huge mansion that was not visible from outside. I am surprised to see the sight unfold in front of me however I was more concerned about Will. As if she would read my mind she started speaking, "we are almost there sir, and I can assure you that we have the best ones looking after them. There will be no harm done to them now that they are here."

Hearing her I am relieved a little and I calmed down following her obediently.

I could hear the noise from outside as we got nearer to the medic, she spoke, "you might be worried a lot however I would like to make a request before we enter"

"Hmm"

"it might take some time for everything to settle and no one will be able to answer to your queries for now, so you will have to sit aside trusting our men on this"

Realizing that I didn't have any better options I agreed. Then she continued, "once they are able to stabilize everyone they will speak to you about everything you want to know."

Inside the medic there was a strong smell of medicine like the ones that exist in hospitals and clinics. As far as I saw, it was a huge wall segregated into small compartments. I looked around searching for Will as she spoke," can you tell me the name of the person you came here for"

"Will, William Tam"

" mmm... As per the chart here he is assigned room no. 5" she sighs a breath of relief," he seems to be out of danger as the numbers are assigned as per the criticality of the patient and since there were only six victims this time, he is on the least danger"

Though her words didn't ease my worries it was able to lessen it to great degree. I sat down in the bench nearby while she accompanied me silently. I was able to understand a lot of things through our conversation. This was not the first time they raided a bar. Everything they are doing now, they have done it before, maybe more times than I could think of. Somehow that was reassuring units own way, knowing that someone could strive relentlessly for a stranger, knowing that someone was ready to risk their lives to make things better for a stranger. I wonder if someone would have come for me if I was in the same situation as before. However, I have learned that waiting for someone to save me is a myth and not a legend. I am well aware of the realities of this world, you get trampled by people you think, love you.

I saw the ugliest side of the world even before knowing this world well. I fought with strangers, friends and the only family I knew of to survive a day longer, to eat a handful, to sleep a little peacefully. In all of those dark days, Will was my hope the light that guided me to be better person, to understand affection. However affections have a price tag, one that is too costly for me.
