Ericken lifted his hands off the wounded scientist, and stood up. He momentarily lost his balance, and fell forward, catching himself before falling to the ground.
Vince raised an eyebrow at what the teen coughed up. He cautiously lifted his foot off the teen's back, though he readied himself in case it bolted.

D-47 glances to Ericken,
“Are you well?”
He looks to the wound and places his hand over it after a second; applying no pressure.
The scientist flinches a few seconds after he does this.
“... He has immense internal damage. The bleeding is going to cause him to suffocate.”
The teen rolls onto its side and curls up into a ball. Seemingly it can’t breath and coughs a large amount of red fluid, the hue of it shows it to be mainly blood. After a second of coughing the teen falls silent and stops moving, having died from drowning.

Ericken supported himself by leaning on a counter. "I'm f-fine," he muttered, "Can't you help him, th-though?" He motioned to the scientist lying on the floor, and shook his head to ignore the stars dancing on the periphery of his vision.
Wordlessly, and without a hint of emotion, Vince walked out of the room to wait for Ericken. As he passed by D-47, he said, "You need better security."

D-47 doesn’t look up,
“We had better security... But the power went out.”
The scientist seems to be in greater pain, so D-47 places his other hand over the scientist’s mouth.
“Let me help you. It’s for the best.” he says calmly, keeping his other hand on the wound.
Three people come running down the hall and stop when they see Vince.
“What happened?” one wearing a light blue lab coat asks quickly.
The other two both wear white lab coats.

Ericken coughed into his fist, and tried to keep the room from spinning. He focused on D-47, wondering what he was doing to the other scientist.
Vince looked at the scientists that stopped in front of him. He figured the slash on his arm and the harsh smell of blood and bile explained the situation well enough.
"One of the infected things... got loose," Vince explained.

The scientist in the powder blue uniform motions to the room. The scientists in white walk past Vince and rush to the room.
“Are you okay. Were there any casualties?” he asks.
The scientists come across D-47.
“D-47 report?” one wearing a tie asks after a moment.
D-47 doesn’t look up of change stance,
“The infected has passed.”
“And Mar?” the other asks quickly.
D-47 is silent for a moment,
“.... He will most likely live.”
The two nod, then one looks to Ericken.
“Oh my,”
A scientist rushes over to him.
“are you alright?”
The scientist with the tie looks to the teen and wanders over to it. Kneeling down he picks up the leaf.
“What’s this?”

"I'm all right," Vince replied, still showing no hint of emotion, "The... infected teenager was the only casualty. So far."
Ericken's eyes seemed to be glazed over and unfocused. He looked at the one scientist that had spoke to him, and was about to respond when a sudden pain overtook his lungs. Ericken gasped, and gripped his chest.
"Vince," he muttered in the tone of a mad man, "where's Vincent, I need him, God, where is he..." He slid down the counter until he was sitting on the floor, trying to rid himself of the burning in his lungs. "V-Vince!"

“I see...” the scientist in blue says.
He looks to Vince’s arm,
“You should head to the ER to get that patched up. And you should take a dose of medicine.”
After a short pause he says,
"You know how it goes... Or do you not know how it goes...".
Noticing he'd never seen Vince before he decides it best to ask a question.
"You do know about stress flare do you not?" he asks after a pause for thought.
The scientist kneels down and quickly examines Ericken, checking his eyes first.
“Oh shoot its flaring!” she calls to the scientist with the tie.
Tie pockets the leaf and quickly turns to her.
“What?! How far?” he responds.
The scientist puts a hand on Ericken’s shoulder to catch his attention.
“You need to take your medicine.” she says quickly.
She reaches her other hand in her pocket and grabs a syringe to use in case Ericken had progressed too far, being sure to keep it pocketed.

Vince rubbed his arms, and let a bit of emotion escape in a sigh. He finally noticed the burning emanating from his wound. "I'm assuming its when the symptoms flare due to stress," he replied, "I'm learning on the job, you could sa--"
"VINCEEEEENT!"
Vince whirled around at the noise and ran to the room he had recently exited. Ericken had been the source of the scream. He was on the floor, trying to shove the scientists away from him.
"V-Vincent!" yelled Ericken, attempting to stand up, "Th-they're trying to kill me! Vince, help! VINCE!" He fell on his face as he tried to stand, and looked up at his partner with a desperate expression. His eyes were cloudy white, and there was a thin line of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
All Vince could do was stare in disbelief.

D-47 mutters quietly,
“Told you to start taking your regimen...” he continues kneeling next to the injured scientist.
The scientist in blue comes running to the room but stays behind Vince to access the situation.
After being shoved away she takes out the syringe and tries to uncaps it while kneeling next to him,
“Calm down sir, I’m only trying to help.” she says fumbling with the needle.
Tie quickly runs over to draw Ericken attention away from her as she preps.
“Sir we’re here to help, don’t panic everything will be okay.” he says in a slightly panicked tone himself.

Ericken scrambled to his knees, and got in a feral four-legged position before falling back to the ground. There was now a steady line of blood dripping down the corner of his mouth, as if he had bit down too hard on his tongue.
"Vincent-ai!" yelled Ericken, "Serano! SERANO!" He had lost his grasp of English and fell back on Forlian. "Heeah serano!" In any language, it was a clear wish for help. When the man with the tie ran over to him, he spat in his direction, "KAAI!"
Vince stepped back cautiously, obviously unsure of how to handle the situation.

The man jumps back in panic,
“This is bad, hurry up Victoria!” he says quickly to the female scientist.
“I’m working as fast as I can!” she snaps in response.
Finally freeing the needle from the protective cap she lunges at Ericken from behind and jabs the syringe into his upper left arm quickly injecting its contents. She then backs off quickly to attempt to avoid a possible attack.

Ericken turned around just in time to see the needle sink into his arm. He howled in pain, and screamed a variety of curses in every language he knew. He tried to stand up, and only succeeded in pulling himself to a kneeling position. Ericken's eyes slowly lost their cloudy look, but no sooner had they returned to normal than he began coughing. The coughing turned into hacking, and the hacking turned into retching. A thin red spray came out of his mouth, along with a glob of spit and blood.
Ericken knelt there for a few moments, gasping for air. He coughed once more, and looked around him.
"Wh... what happened?" asked Ericken, clueless as one could be. Next thing he knew, Vince was hugging him. Ericken blushed heavily. "Um."

“Oh thank God.” Victoria sighs in relief and falls back to regain her composure.
Tie sighs heavily and leans on a counter, his watch beeps. Like clockwork he takes out his inhaler and uses it.
Victoria’s watch beeps after a second, she also quickly uses the medication.
D-47 doesn’t look up; still keeping his hand over the wound,
“Set your watch, or your dosage schedule will be off.” he says calmly.
The scientist in blue enters the room,
“That was a close a call...”
Then answering Ericken’s question he replies,
“You had a stress flare.”

Vince awkwardly let go of Ericken, realizing what he had just done. Keeping his cool, Vince stood up, and folded his arms. Ericken looked over at D-47, and wondered how he went from putting pressure on the wound to being in Vince's arms.
"A stress flare?" echoed Ericken. He adjusted his watch so that it was on schedule.
"You went crazy," responded Vince, looking away, "said some things, too."
"What exactly did I say?"
"You said 'Vincent-ai,' for one. I'll tell you about it later."
Ericken noted a hint of red in Vince's cheeks.
