Later on that night, At UMC Hospital, Oscar and Carolyn arrived after the EMTs arrived with Justine. A blue and black colored flame bursts and swirls behind the couple. The couple turned around. A black man, with a blue polo shirt and blue jean pants to match along with white and blue shoes. Walk out of the flames. He takes off his glasses.

“What happened, Where’s my daughter?!” The man said.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21vHP4LSZI
“She’s inside the hospital. I’ll explain later. We don't have that much time.” Carolyn said. The man, Carolyn, and Oscar rush inside the hospital. Tonetta looks up and sees them rushing inside.

“Ghost, Nice to see you,” Tonetta said, happily.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEtvFBtc0H
“Tonetta, where’s Justine?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d3xubehBc
“She’s in Room 15, to the right.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBci9c0mSz2
“Thank you.” Ghost said. He starts to run to Room 15, and Oscar and Carolyn follow him. The surgeon walks out of the room, taking their gloves off. Ghost stops them.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy0zluNJNI
“Did you just come out of Room 15?” He asks.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjtqhr6VmL
“Yes sir I did.” The surgeon said, “Are you the parent of the patient?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pVK3yWZTQ
“Yes, I am.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBErNJRtmkQ
“Oh well. She’s going through the stitching. She lost a lot of blood but not too much to do a blood transplant. After that, she’ll recover in about two hours.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHnyxSkezt
“Okay.”
The surgeon walks away. Ghost, Oscar, and Carolyn stand in the hallway. Ghost starts pacing back and forth nervously.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvKhI1BH9J
“What happened?” Ghost asks.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoZceFQ8vw
“Michele happened.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCduYTS0ZW
“Watch your mouth, Madame.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVMab5bLsB
“I don’t need to watch my mouth, all I’m saying is that she happened to cause your daughter to be in this situation. You need to watch your mouth.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wjSYdsZ3v
“Carolyn please.” Oscar interrupted. “Apparently there was a terrorist attack in different areas. One at the Venetian, the Sahara hotel, and at the Warehouse, and Michele and Carolyn happened to be there.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ihvgEDMZ
“Oscar, can I explain the rest?” Carolyn asks. Oscar nods. She breathes.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTnuCpQIHt
“Michele and I got into a fight that caused The Venetian, The Sahara, The Fontainebleau construction, and the Warehouse to be destroyed. I couldn’t see how Justine came in but she saved me from being burnt by Michele. She sacrificed herself for me.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyFSMAmvhu
“I get it. She likes you guys but why would she sacrifice herself?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjuKN7pKIb
“That’s something you might want to ask her but I have to say, that girl is a real trooper. I mean, I have to admit. When I first talked to her, she went through a lot for her age and she's only 15. She’s not the type of person to talk about her feelings or her life in general. I get it, I’m like that. Private and reserved with my life. She’s kind and thoughtful. She’s really smart and articulate minus the cursing but she makes very clear points in a conversation. You should be a proud father.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoyBI7eOka
“I’m very proud of her regardless, Carolyn. I know why she's going through what she’s going through because her mom and I used to argue a lot around Justine when she was younger. I had to own up and be honest that Yes. I have caused a lot of trouble to make her the way she is by opening up to other people. I don’t know about her mom though.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCorsGk1Hn
“Fuck her mom. She isn’t really a mom. After what she did to her last night, she needs to stay away from her.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziCRoyiBQ2
“Right.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLc4rXKHWH
“I understand that she can’t stay away from her but she is going to kill her if she doesn’t.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBC4FjmdbX
“Right. Are you a psychologist?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXpG1XsGby
“Went to school to become a counselor. I didn’t continue my career because I wanted to help Oscar continue to build the city of Las Vegas after him.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixNcQDo6hG
A group of surgeons walks out of the room. Carolyn, Oscar, and Ghost look at the surgeon.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7jzW2LfFw
“Are you here for Justine?” The surgeon asks.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxtwTBF9oL
“Yes. Is she okay?” Ghost asks.
“She’s doing just fine. She is just recovering right now while she’s sleeping.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBbdtyYUdN
“Can we go in there?” Carolyn asks.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDQX2LwGSY
“Oh sure. Go right ahead.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHueI8ZPkru
Ghost, Carolyn, and Oscar walk into the room. Justine is sleeping and recovering from the surgery. The group walks up to their bed. Justine wakes up.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHVC3TUmE1
“Pops… Carolyn… Oscar…” Justine mumbles as she wakes up. She thinks for a minute.
“Wait. Am I in trouble?”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioFMJAxtHx
“No!” Carolyn chuckles. “You’re not in trouble.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhDT6CklEA
“Oh,” Justine chuckles as she sits up from the bed slowly. She groans in pain. Carolyn, Ghost, and Oscar help Justine lay back down.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKIsaPkydc
“Juju… Why were you at the fight when you know you're going to get hurt like this?” Ghost asks.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O1pCgt4Vy
“I saw red lightning and I stepped in to save Carolyn from getting hurt by Michele.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXFifSDWj5
“Carolyn is a grown-ass woman. She could’ve handled it by herself.” Ghost said, bluntly.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQXGkNjBtp
“I know but…” Justine sighs. “I just…I just wanted to save her and I sacrificed myself for her. Yes, it seems illogical since she's a grown woman but sometimes I can't help myself from trying to fight Michele. I just wanted to help and become stronger than I am like you are.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDnG1GWqsG
Ghost sighs and breathes. He smiles. “I understand that. But… you could’ve gotten hurt or worse killed. I would’ve killed your mother and Michele if something happened to you.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0maJNquHt
“I know.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBeBratn0G
“I’m not mad at you at all for doing the right thing, but you failed to realize that she could’ve killed you.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNQFLxJR6A
“Oh,” Justine said. “I did it out of impulse.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfxemVCj0g
“Shit, if I were you. I would’ve done the same thing but it wouldn’t be worth it in the end if I knew if the person was more powerful than me beating my ass. That’s a learning experience, kid. I’m proud of you for saving a person you care about but next time, if you know that person is more powerful than you. Always try it out but with a plan on how you do it. Doing it out of instinct can kill you.” Ghost smiles and carefully hugs Justine. Justine hugs their father back. Carolyn and Oscar smile.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhfGjvFOsJ
“I’m sorry pops.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAhQrGuK0q
“I’m not mad at you, Justine. but next time, be careful.” Ghost said.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nF9RXipoG
“Okay, I will,” Justine said.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoUxPuYKZ9
Ghost breaks the hug.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhHAMOUOke
“Will Felicity know about this?” Justine askes
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fqjPVmM94
“She knows. She's ready to kill Michele but she’s relieved that you’re still alive.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypX229EnaE
“Oh. Understandable.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATHKzTBPrb
Ghost laughs. Justine laughs with him.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNIRPcqG3Y
“When will you be released from the hospital?” Ghost asks.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhKxSjtX4n
“No idea.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W06x72bka
“I’ll ask when we leave. Until then, Oscar and I will make sure she’s recovering well.” Carolyn said.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk9acBWWFG
“Thank you, Carolyn.” Justine said, “I hope it doesn’t impact my grades.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgtSO2x686
“Your school is closed until further notice because of what happened earlier. I would say check with your teachers for updates.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00jxp90kPw
“Okay.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AmboRDSKS
“Wait a minute, what the fuck happened?” Ghost asks.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiKZfbFpET
“Michele destroyed Justine’s school. Desert Meadows is it, Justine?” Carolyn said.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ5DW8u72O
“Yep.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ah1Q9RTpj
“We don’t know her motive in destroying the school.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53i78IAvd7
“That’s pretty much the point. She doesn’t tell her the motive.” Oscar spoke up, “She would be telling on herself at that point.”
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWnQ2ZKTgf
“At that point, the truth will tell itself,” Carolyn said. “She may be smart enough not to tell anyone about her plans but her plans will show more than she could tell.”
