the doctors would be able to save him.

    Remi swallowed and then
frowned.

    “ Whatever it
takes, understand?” he said when the doctors looked his way, voice
showing none of the raw emotions she could see in his eyes. There
was only determination and anger in it. “On my authority, do
whatever it takes. If Jericho dies, I will never forgive
you.”

    Ambra pushed past her and
Emmanuelle was glad when Remi stopped her. He held Ambra close, his
broad frame protecting her from the sight of Jericho. Ambra shook,
trembling in Remi’s arms.

    “ I won’t let
anything happen to him, Ambra,” Remi said and held her closer.
Emmanuelle stepped back to give them more room. “I’ll bring him
back for you, but he might not be the same.”

    Ambra looked up at him
with wide eyes and understanding gradually dawned in them. She
touched his cybernetic arm and forced a smile.

    “ I’ll always
love Jericho... always. It doesn’t matter what it takes to save
him. I’ll always be there for him when he needs me.”

    Remi’s hand covered hers
and held it.

    “ Thank you
Remi... I know that if it weren’t for you... he’d be dead already,”
Ambra said with another smile, this one holding more
feeling.

    “ I’ll be there
for you both—” He wavered on the spot, swallowed hard, and then
collapsed to his knees.

    Ambra looked
horrified.

    Emmanuelle rushed to his
side, crouching close to him and placing her hand against his back.
He wearily raised his head and looked at her. His pupils dilated
and contracted, clearly struggling to focus.

    “ Will you let
me attend to you now?” she whispered.

    He nodded.

    She pulled his arm around
her shoulder and helped him stand with the aid of a male
nurse.

    “ You were
fooling nobody by saying you were fine,” she muttered and took him
back to her office.

    It was an effort to get
him onto the inspection table and lay him down. The weight of him
drained her strength and she was breathing hard when she finally
ducked out from under his arm. She carefully opened his armoured
jacket and his shirt. He grimaced when she made him sit up again so
she could remove them completely. They dropped to the floor at her
feet.

    Several men in black
rushed past her office. One stopped in the doorway. The intricate
white logo emblazoned on the left side of his chest told her that
he was a bio-engineer.

    She grabbed the scanner
and ran it over Remi’s torso.

    “ Does
Lieutenant Lyra IV need anything?” the man said.

    She shook her head. “I can
handle him and his arm is fine.”

    The man nodded and left.
She pressed the button on the control panel and closed the door so
she wouldn’t be disturbed again. Running the scanner over Remi’s
legs revealed that he had a weapons fire wound on his left thigh
and his right knee was badly damaged. There was a burn mark and
hole in his right upper arm too, and several lacerations across his
stomach. It was nothing she couldn’t repair or aid towards
recovery. His knee would be the hardest. All she could do for it
was use the binder to bring the flesh together again and then
bandage it. It was down to his body to heal that one.

    He winced and muttered
something. She pressed a hand to his forehead. His skin was red hot
and damp with sweat. He was becoming feverish. Picking up the
injection gun, she loaded it with painkillers and then pressed it
against the side of his arm. She fired it and he winced again
before sleepily opening his eyes to look at her. Her fingers
brushed his cheek and she smiled at him.

    “ Rest,” she
said and his eyes closed and then opened again, as though he was
fighting the effect of the drug. “I won’t let anything happen to
you, Remi.”

    His eyes closed. She
checked his vitals on the large monitor above the head end of the
inspection table to her left and then set to work. It was going to
be a long night. She only hoped that the bio-engineering team would
be able to save Jericho.

    She picked up the skin
