MacLeod: Reforged: Morning of Medicine

Revan's eyes opened to the sight of Kirina's face, with a worried look, staring over him. Immediately, he turned his weight over his right arm, which made him fall out of the hammock, as the arm was outside of the hammock. He fell on his stomach with a huff.

"You always look cross when you sleep," she informed him as she straddled his back with a thinking look. "But this time you looked really cross."

"Well..." Revan tried to begin. ''Should I tell her what he told me? Do I tell her to keep back from now on, or she'll lose her head?''

"I'm hungry," Kirina stated bluntly, getting off of Revan's back. "And I smell something yummy!"

She skulked into the kitchen. Revan had not noticed before, but she was not wearing her trousers. Otherwise, the jingling of the metal of her belts would have resounded with her steps.

Revan stood up. He saw Kirina's long shirt covering her bottom as she lifted a pan lid and scream in excitement.

"Eeeeee! Chickies and eggs! Ooooh, rice too..."

Revan followed Kirina into the kitchen and looked over her shoulder. Two-thirds of the pan was full of fried rice with curry chicken and egg cooked into it. Two-thirds.

"Did you see James this morning?"

"I haven't seen him, no..." Kirina answered distractedly, staring at her spicy breakfast and licking her lips.

Well let's eat, anyway," Revan said as he looked to the cupboard to to the left of the stove. "''Other side. Ambidexterity experiment.''" was taped to it surface

Typical, Holmes, really.

Revan instead opened the cupboard to the right of the stove, finding another note, folded like an upside-down "V" atop the stack of plates, which read: "Same goes for the silverware." MacLeod simply brushed it away, took two plates out of the cupboard and opened the utensil drawer. A third note was placed above the forks, saying: "Meet me at Vale Central Hospital when you can."

After an hour, with breakfast, showering, and other morning preparations taken care of, Revan and Kirina were ready to leave. Keys to Holmes' car were on the side table, with another note saying "Call me when you get there."

He let her skip out the door first, then followed and locked the apartment.

"Come on, Slowpoke!" Kirina shouted for Revan as she slid down the handle rails to the bottom floor. "Weeeeee!"

Revan pressed his stetson down closer to his head and vaulted over the railing.

As the two of them drove through familiar streets, Kirina hummed a tune without a proper pattern and seemed to dance to it in her seat for thirty seconds before she grew bored of it.

"Are we gonna see Brains?" she asked. She referred to Holmes when she said "Brains".

"Yup," he answered. "At tha hospital." Probably because of that stalker.

"Is there gonna be a body?"

"Um... Dunno. Probably not. But if there is, Kiri, don't get in trouble fer playin' with whoever's insides."

"Tee hee! No promises!"

After a half hour, the two of them arrived at the hospital. Kirina skipped and twirled into the lobby, stopping to lean on the glass of the vending machines.

"Too early, love," Revan told her, cell phone to his ear.

"Highlander," Holmes' voice began on the other end. "Send Zoki to the mortuary floor. Butters is there. I'm in the security office."

"Will do. G'mornin', by the way."

"Morning. Now hurry," Holmes hung up.

Revan put his phone in his pocket and looked to Kirina. "Zoki." Kirina looked at him, responding to Holmes' code name. "Miss Butter's downstairs. Looks like Brains has a body for ye."

Kirina smiled excitedly and skipped to Revan to give him a kiss. With his left hand, he held her back and shook his head.

"Not now, love," he told her. "Butters's waitin'."

She pouted for a moment, then smiled. "Okay!" And she skipped around the corner.

She hopped her way down the stairs, wondering why Revan did not want a kiss.

''I his brain more wibbly? He's not being mean like the other grumpy-pants. I wonder if there's some candy in one of the desks down here...''

Obviously, she detracted from the topic as usual.

Kirina casually snuck past a guard and found Post Mortem. Pushing open the doors, she found a woman with pale blond hair and a labcoat. The woman was leaning over a table, having a conversation with the dead woman on it. The three or so other mortuary workers were somewhat annoyed with her.

"...It's hard being a strong-willed woman, isn't it?" She asked the body. "You have opinions, they shoot you in the head."

"Miss Fingers!" Kirina called from behind as she ran up to give her a hug from behind.

"Oh dear!" Wilda Butters exclaimed with surprise. "Zoki! Isn't this is a pleasant surprise!"

"Huh? But Highlander said that Brains said that you'd be down here."

"I didn't even know the Detective was here!"

"But..."

Suddenly, a hand holding a cloth appeared in front of Kirina's face and pressed it against her nose and mouth as quickly as the second one did over Wilda's. Quickly, Kirina's strength faded, seemingly like she was falling asleep quickly.

''Uh-oh... Didn't... eattle... enough... swee...ties...''

The last thing she heard before dreamless sleep stole her away were the voices of mean-sounding men.

"Now what?"

"We put 'em with that smart guy upstairs..."

Revan's thoughts were muddled. Between his love for the girl he proposed to on Valentine's Day, and the threat he posed to her... Could the two of them ever be together?

He tried pushing these thoughts away and opened the door to the main security office.

What Revan found were more than screens relaying the images of various going on picked up by the cameras. He found screens relaying various goings on with a kidnapping in the Mortuary Ward and James Holmes with hands tied to railing.

"What in the..?" were Revan's last words as on both temples, two cold, metal discs found themselves rendering his body numb.

He collapsed, an image of Kirina being carried off by mean-looking men in labcoats.
