After the assassin had been detained the alarms were silenced, but Mikhail felt as though they were still blaring in his ears. While most of the pirates went back to their duties or assisted in cleaning up the area, the medical staff worked hard to tend to the injured. Hernando took it upon himself to interrogate the prisoner but had sent Jole and Dirk to watch the pirate lord closely.

Mikhail paced back and forth outside of the operating room while his two security guards were positioned at either end of the hall.

I…I can’t lose Rhonda too. What will I do if she doesn’t make it? Ooooooh, I’m gonna tear that guy apart for this.

Suddenly a voice seemed to whisper directly into his ear.

“I told you this was coming.”

The pirate lord immediately spun around and looked for the speaker. Jole stood too far away for it to be him, and Dirk was even farther down the hallway in the opposite direction. His heart pounded in his chest as he knew deep down who it had been, but he couldn’t see it anywhere.

He continued looking down the hallway when one of the medical staff came up behind him.

“Lord.”

Mikhail nearly jumped out of his skin at the mention of his name. “Oh, hey Doc,” he said when he finally saw the other man that he hadn’t heard sneak up on him.

“I wanted to speak with you about Rhonda.”

The color in the pirate lord’s face drained as he feared for the worst.

"None of her injuries was life-threatening, however, the laser did do some serious damage to her internally. She will need to spend several weeks in treatment, and I can't say for certain if she will fully recover."

“Wha…what does that mean?” Mikhail asked trying to understand clearly. “I have heard of men getting entirely new lungs before.”

The doctor nodded. "Well, yes, that has happened plenty of times in the Republic. But in the Colonial Alliance, we don't have access to the same medical equipment and technology."

“So, if she were to receive care in the Republic she could be fully cared for?”

“In a sense, yes,” the doctor said feeling cruddy for having to admit the fact.

“Can I see her?”

“Yes. She should be awake now, but she could fall asleep again from the medications.”

"Thanks, Doc," Mikhail said as he walked around him and went inside the medical wing of the compound.

The small room the Duchess had been placed in was a strange sickly white and smelled like the typical medical area. Wires and sensors reached from the injured woman up to the monitoring devices that sat by her bedside.

Mikhail could see the bandages that wrapped her right shoulder and felt a sincere pain in his gut. Rhonda happened to hear him shuffling up to her bed and opened her eyes.

“Oh hey,” she said meekly.

“Hey,” the man replied.

Despite trying to wake up from being sedated the Duchess could see the worried look on Mikhail’s face.
