The Rainbow After the Storm (Heavy Rain RP.)

[LadyGalleth]

"No, no...we...we need to get Ethan handled first." Norman waved it off, staggering over to the car. "Um...how do I look? Am I...do I look as bad as I feel?" Without even waiting for Zayden to answer, Norman looked around to see Carter yelling at some people. It brought a smile to his face. No, Carter was never one for curtiousy. He gritted his teeth and looked back over at Ethan. "No. I'm not leaving until I know Shaun and Ethan are safe! So be it, I will pass out in this field waiting!" He announced, swaggering backwards a little. He caught himself and chuckled a little, looking over at his partner.

(( Stubborn as a mule, that one! X3 ))

Zayden frowned. "But, I've gotta take Shaun to the hospital anyways. I think that the other cops can handle looking after Ethan." he said. He laughed slightly, running a hand through his hair. "Well, no offense, dude, but you don't look so good. You're losing blood, and so is Shaun. So please, just come on. When you're both in the hospital and safe, I'll come back and make sure everything was taken care of." he promised, trying to bribe his old partner into just going.

[LadyGalleth]

Norman shared a look with Zayden before throwing a glance over at Ethan. He mumbled something about Philadelphian cops and rolled his eyes. "Fine...only if you'll come back and report back to me." He commanded with a light smile. Then, just as soon as he said that, he bent over again and lowered his head to the grass. "Let's go." He replied abruptly, reaching into his pocket and finding his keys. He tossed them over to the boy and grabbed a hold of Hendrix's shoulders. "Heh. You may have to help me get back to the car. I don't think I can walk on my own without falling..." He admitted, placing one hand across one of his bleeding cuts. "Let's just hope I don't scare Shaun.." He looked at how far away the car was and could feel his stomach churning, and not in a good way. "How much blood have I lost? Is Shaun ok?"

[GBHORROR]

Zayden smiled slightly and nodded. "Of course." he said. He caught the keys, nodding once more when he said that he might need help. "Okay, that's fine. Just lean on me and we'll walk to the car. If I'm going too fast, tell me and I'll slow down." he said, slowly leading Jayden over to the car. He looked at him again as he asked about the blood, and he shrugged. "I dunno, really..I mean, you have a lot of cuts. But losing any blood isn't good," he said, shuffling towards the car still. "Shaun seems to be okay. Incredibly shaken up, but okay. I am kind of worried though. There's glass in his head." he said. "I hope he'll be alright." he said, frowning.

[LadyGalleth]

"He probably...will be." Norman heaved, trying to catch his breath. His chest hurt, and so did his lungs. Every time he would exhale, some of the glass would go deeper into his skin, making his scream sometimes. He placed a hand on Zayden shoulders and did as he was told, leaning over on his partner, hoping that he could support both of their weights. "Glass in his...head?" He asked, swallowing hard. "Yeah, he's scared of cops. Ever since...the kidnapping, who wouldn't be?" Jayden asked, rolling his eyes as they continued to walk to the car. As they passed Blake, Norman looked over at him and glared, popping his eyebrows at him. Norman looked ahead to see that they were growing closer to the car. "So many...people will be in the hospital. Me, Shaun, Ethan and Graybay. How is she doing?"

[GBHORROR]

Zayden nodded understandingly as they neared the car. "Yeah, I can get that. He seemed to loosen up a little around me, I think." he said, glad that he did. He then sighed, shaking his head. It was beginning to freak him out, how many things were happening at once. He knew that whatever was going on with Norman couldn't have anything to do with the origami killer, and the two different car wrecks that Ethan, Shaun, and Graybay were in couldn't possibly lead back to that. But..it was just funny, how one by one, everyone was ending up in the hospital..
He shook his head as if it would make the thoughts go away. Who was next? Him, Carter, Madison..? He then answered his question. "She's getting out like tomorrow or the day after, I think. We'll both come by and see everyone." he said. "And maybe even Carter," he joked, though he somewhat doubted the man would be up for seeing Jayden OR Ethan. He didn't seem to like either of them.

[LadyGalleth]

At that, Norman had to chuckle. "Yeah...getting Carter to come see me is like getting a cat not to attack cat nip. It's not gonna happen." He, then, wrapped his grip tighter like he felt he was going to fall. He re-steadied himself with a smile. "Thanks. At least you're one partner who cares about me!" He muttered, and then shot his icy gaze over to Blake again. The least the man could've done was send someone over to help him when Blake saw he was hurt. "Getting Carter to see me AND Ethan in the same day will more than likely give the man a heart attack." He chuckled again, rolling his eyes. "Ethan and Carter have had some issues ever since one, not naming any names, beat he other one into an Origami Killer confession." He continued to stumble along. "And Carter and I have...never been, how to put this lightly, we've never been friends. We're complete opposites!"

When they reached the car, Jayden leaned up against the door, asking politely if his partner would open it if he moved out of the way. As to nod scare Shaun, he gentle skittered his way into the car with a smile, trying to conciel his glass cuts with his hand. "Hello, everyone. Miss me? I know at least someone in this car did."

[LadyGalleth]

(( Bump. ))

[GBHORROR]

Zayden nodded as he listened. "I can understand that. I don't think he ever liked me much from the start." he said with a shrug. "Heck, I don't even know if the dude likes anyone." he admitted as they finally reached the car. He helped him inside before jogging to the other side and jumping in, looking behind him before starting the car. "You alright, Shaun? We're gonna go to the hospital now." he said, backing up before making it out onto the road again. He tried to be slow and careful, though not too slow, as both Shaun and Jayden needed to go to the hospital and soon. He was sure Shaun was still a little(a little, actually, was probably an understatement) frightened and he definitely didn't want another wreck to happen.

[LadyGalleth]

Jayden jostled into as the car zoomed off. "Yeah.. we're fine." He said, smiling over at Shaun. "Aren't we, buddy?"

Shaun tried to smile, but his smile faded when he saw the blood on Jayden's uniform and torn up suit. "Norman, are you alright?"

"Yeah...yeah, I'm fine." Norman smiled. "We're going to the hospital soon, Shaun, so we'll get better soon." The agent turned to the little boy. "But, for now, Shaun. Come here. I need to check you out."

The ten year old nodded and scooted closer to the man, letting him examine his cuts. "Am I gonna be alright?"

"Yep, you are." Norman said with a wink. "Just don't think about it and you'll be fine." Norman placed his hands on his tie, gently slipping it off his head and untying it. "Hold on, Shaun. Just wait, this will make it feel better." He placed the tie on top of Shaun's wound on his arm and tied in around, gently wrapping it over the cut. "There. That will maybe stop the blood." He mumbled, looking over at Zayden and Madison.
