Chapter 11
The car moved off fast. âHow much shit are we in?â I asked Wei.
Wei glanced back to Vroomâs hotel and lowered his head. âI have no idea. But it wonât be good.â
When he went silent, we all did. Lan knotted her fingers with mine and though there was a significant amount of pain, I relished in the feel of her still with me.
Wei glanced between us. âI donât know whatâs going on, but watch the âhands onâ around the sect grounds. They donât like any relationships between us. We canât be seen to flake out in bad situations over the partner either.â
It seemed to take a while, but the car eventually stopped, and the doctor got out first with Zhu and Joe behind him. âWeâve to report to room 178 in the training house,â Wei said. âIâll inform the Grand Master weâre here for debrief and report to Sect Lord Zhong.â
âYou have to go directly to him?â I asked.
Wei didnât even look at me. âYou have a lot to learn, and youâre gonna get a crash course today. Go, Iâll be back as soon as I can.â
He got out and walked in the opposite direction, shoulders straight, head high.
âI never expected any of that,â Lan said and slid out of the car herself. When she offered me a hand on the other side, I declined and pushed myself up and out.
âPain still the same?â the doctor asked.
âGetting worse,â I replied honestly.
âIâll nip to medical, see you in a moment.â He rushed off in the opposite direction, completely ignoring the fact weâd been told to report to room 178.
Zhu and Joe led the way, not talking. Lan followed, with me slightly behind. Every step was agony. The pain was worse than when Iâd shattered my hip. I didnât show her any of it. She took my good hand in hers, though. âYou just told the doctor it was getting worse.â
âIt will get better,â I winked at her.
Room 178 was just a classroom. Zhu and Joe sat, while Lan paced up and down. I flexed my leg, not only pushing the pain boundaries but getting used to how it felt.
We all waited.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
The doctor returned with a 3D pad and bag. âLet me look.â He waved down my body.
I nodded and stood still while he held the imaging device at me. âDamn.â
Then he rummaged around in his bag once more.
âWhat?â Lan said.
âPain relief,â he said. âIâve got something strong enough. I think.â He continued to rummage. âMight knock an elephant out.â
I stepped to him, put a hand on his bag. âIf thatâs enough to knock an elephant out, Iâm not taking it, not now.â
Lan frowned. âKeiââ
The door opened, and we all turned to see Wei, his face pale. No one asked; no one dared.
âSect Lord Zhong has asked to see you and I.â Wei looked directly at me, then to the others. âDoc, go home. The others dismissed, go get some sleep.â
âWhat?â Lan asked. âSleep, youâre kidding me?â
Wei leveled his eyes with hers, and she lowered her head, flushed.
