[b] Daniel - Apartment - Shannon and Valentina [/b]

Daniel slowly lowered his gun, appalled by the sight of this girl. "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you." He slowly lowered to his knees to be more on the little girl's level. "My names Daniel, and this is my friend, Shannon." He clicked the gun on safety, dropped the clip from the pistol. With a loud click, he ejected the chambered round and in clattered to the floor. He slipped unhooked the ring of keys from his belt and slid them over to the girl. "You- uh- you look like you're hungry. The key is the bright blue one. That'll let you into the closet." 

He eyed her gun, cautiously. "You've got a gun too, I see... It's a very nice one, too." He clasped his hands together, balancing in a squat. "I hope that no one has to use their gun." 

[b] Emma - Haywood Infirmary/Complex Courtyard - O'Connor [/b] 

Emma sat in the infirmary, swinging her left foot back and fort under the examiner's table. "Breath in..." O'Connor said in his Scottish accent. Emma obeyed and inhaled. "Breath out." Again, Emma obeyed. "Well your breathing is fine right now... When exactly were you having trouble?"

"Last night... I woke up in the middle of the night and I felt like I was suffocating." She recounted the event to the man, who in return scratched his red beard. 

"I'd like to say it's simply a repercussion of your wound... " The man admitted. "I think you've got the slightest case of pneumonia. Even still, it was most likely given a kickstart from the problems you had after I first took the bullet out." 

"So what does that mean for me?" 

"It means that you'll have to keep an inhaler on you. We've currently got three available, but I can give you advair as an alternative." He quickly walked to the a closet and came back with a red inhaler. After he instructed her on how to use it, Emma slid it into the pocket of her jacket. She was thankful for this man, deeply grateful. He'd saved he from death and he'd helped her recover. 

"Riley, could you... uh... could you do me a favor and not mention this to Daniel? He's got enough to worry about." Emma pleaded. Daniel was now the leader of Haywood, and he had a lot to keep his mind busy. 

"What, ya don't think the mighty Mayor can keep himself together?"

"I think he's more than capable, I just don't want to be his burden to bear." Emma confessed. Grimly, O'Connor nodded. She exited the infirmary and left the main building, stepping out into the cold morning air. She stuffed her hands in her coat and began to walk home.
