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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla44BhNEFd
“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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSGxGfVNkj
“Tonetta, where’s Justine?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjrUsd1Wgv
“She’s in Room 15, to the right.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAe35uf6yK
“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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjDOImzZC1
“Did you just come out of Room 15?” He asks.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0PnywweZj
“Yes sir I did.” The surgeon said, “Are you the parent of the patient?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3VtOs2Czk
“Yes, I am.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPOlueYXqZ
“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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy65y8keZq
“Okay.”
The surgeon walks away. Ghost, Oscar, and Carolyn stand in the hallway. Ghost starts pacing back and forth nervously.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMuhgia1zT
“What happened?” Ghost asks.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQqhsUXEmx
“Michele happened.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHML6SeEOsR
“Watch your mouth, Madame.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKbmEDHfGv
“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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53fK2R09F6
“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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0GFSur4Ow
“Oscar, can I explain the rest?” Carolyn asks. Oscar nods. She breathes.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMIzCHNKj5
“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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobVeUgNg0w
“I get it. She likes you guys but why would she sacrifice herself?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsRkM1zj8U
“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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PB48lTtXh
“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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAflN4VbeF8
“Fuck her mom. She isn’t really a mom. After what she did to her last night, she needs to stay away from her.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw2moFD3SP
“Right.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2stBwm98DK
“I understand that she can’t stay away from her but she is going to kill her if she doesn’t.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7soNqIpDD
“Right. Are you a psychologist?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lcaWfvs05
“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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mOqTAv5IM
A group of surgeons walks out of the room. Carolyn, Oscar, and Ghost look at the surgeon.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB92cP6aTJ
“Are you here for Justine?” The surgeon asks.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWqpQsdInx
“Yes. Is she okay?” Ghost asks.
“She’s doing just fine. She is just recovering right now while she’s sleeping.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC5wAv5Gqn
“Can we go in there?” Carolyn asks.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzBFJfmfXq
“Oh sure. Go right ahead.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tultUthcn
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwNmma5LXc
“Pops… Carolyn… Oscar…” Justine mumbles as she wakes up. She thinks for a minute.
“Wait. Am I in trouble?”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yscjd4MAJ
“No!” Carolyn chuckles. “You’re not in trouble.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9N7GLYO7N
“Oh,” Justine chuckles as she sits up from the bed slowly. She groans in pain. Carolyn, Ghost, and Oscar help Justine lay back down.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0dcIefxCn
“Juju… Why were you at the fight when you know you're going to get hurt like this?” Ghost asks.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMb6YB8Wq8
“I saw red lightning and I stepped in to save Carolyn from getting hurt by Michele.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkV7VR3d5i
“Carolyn is a grown-ass woman. She could’ve handled it by herself.” Ghost said, bluntly.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeObz1zz69
“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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTOmCL49mS
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTU3YyDYBF
“I know.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5ashgeSHe
“I’m not mad at you at all for doing the right thing, but you failed to realize that she could’ve killed you.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe3oaWmBC4
“Oh,” Justine said. “I did it out of impulse.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3DrFk8HIm
“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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xlya9heno
“I’m sorry pops.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKPp26EW82
“I’m not mad at you, Justine. but next time, be careful.” Ghost said.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTNDnCCpme
“Okay, I will,” Justine said.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQJqkU6onW
Ghost breaks the hug.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4eWTetwyS
“Will Felicity know about this?” Justine askes
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6lWdWEts9
“She knows. She's ready to kill Michele but she’s relieved that you’re still alive.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRysEkjfB35
“Oh. Understandable.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MSMQFx3MO
Ghost laughs. Justine laughs with him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YY7NMqUzk
“When will you be released from the hospital?” Ghost asks.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0rnplc46z
“No idea.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOGNsoNrZx
“I’ll ask when we leave. Until then, Oscar and I will make sure she’s recovering well.” Carolyn said.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sWknrf5Nr
“Thank you, Carolyn.” Justine said, “I hope it doesn’t impact my grades.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGWudeta2b
“Your school is closed until further notice because of what happened earlier. I would say check with your teachers for updates.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdK6PVcsrx
“Okay.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp6gKcjPNZ
“Wait a minute, what the fuck happened?” Ghost asks.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHa7oAcdKo
“Michele destroyed Justine’s school. Desert Meadows is it, Justine?” Carolyn said.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLXxI3Uo5G
“Yep.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0baCQpa9g
“We don’t know her motive in destroying the school.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaQK3Lv2Tl
“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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAdVoUOY0Y
“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.”
