[color=007236]"But, uh...I'll live. The nurse told me I'd be able to leave before the day's done."[/color] It was fairly surprising to see Alex again after everything that had happened. He had honestly forgotten that he wasn't around what with Alexis passing out and the whole fiasco with that big guy. Suddenly he remembered what the nurse had said before. [color=007236]"Hopefully I'm wrong, but I think the nurse mentioned Detective Hammer before you guys got here."[/color] Rheese said, his expression darkening. He honestly didn't know why he was the one being interviewed, he was knocked unconscious before the whole ordeal was over after all. [color=007236]"If that's true...well I'm sure I don't need to mention that I can't stand that asshole on television, let alone-"[/color] Rheese was interrupted by the door being flung open as a giant of a man entered dramatically with his cameraman in tow. [color=9e0b0f]"I'm here to speak with Reeces Loudhat. I was just told that he regained consciousness."[/color] The man said as though it wasn't obvious that he was looking for the one still in the hospital bed. The glare he received didn't even seem to register. Rheese decided against correcting the moronic pronunciation of his name. [color=007236]"That'd be me."[/color] Rheese said, his voice dripping with venom. While he'd have loved to just hide and let the others deal with this, it would have been kind of a dick move. [color=9e0b0f]"Oh good, the last several hospital rooms I entered were determined to hide your whereabouts."[/color] Detective Hammer responded seriously. Rheese felt his eye involuntarily twitch as he realized that this man had bothered other patients instead of simply asking at the desk. [color=007236]"I'm sure they were, I mean they probably had no idea where or who I was, but I bet they were just determined to keep you out of here."[/color] Rheese said sarcastically, his glare hardening even more. [color=9e0b0f]"Just because they claimed to have never heard your name before doesn't make it true, kid. Now, to the meat of the issue. I'm sure you're very excited to meet me, but I need answers."[/color] [color=007236]"I can almost promise you I don't have any."[/color] Rheese deadpanned, truthfully he only knew the guy had several grunts with him and an Aerodactyl that was able to wipe the floor with several trainers simultaneously.
