I have bandaged right hand, and I get shot on the same arm on the same day. Remy sat on a chair reading a newspaper while Jack was looking out the window. My leather jacket was hanging on the chair Remy was sitting in. Just then, Nurse Redheart entered with a tray that contained two syringes. "It's time for your dose Mr. McManus" she said. "Oh come on, I just had a shot" I complained. Nurse Redheart laughed. "No, this is different. This fights off the sedative you took." "Sedative?" I asked as she approached me. "No wait, there was a small bottle of something right next to me" I said. When I turned to the side, I saw the bottle I was talking about was gone. "Wait a minute, was the bottle the same size as an ink bottle?" Jack asked as he turned around. "Yes." "Yeah that's the sedative. Apparently you drank it like a shot of alcohol, it was hilarious." "Why didn't anyone tell me? Ow!" I cried out when Nurse Redheart inserted the syringe into me. "We tried to tell you, but all you said was 'Oh, liquor, I love hospitals" Jack explained. "I said that? What the hell kind of drugs did they give me?" I asked as I was being injected. "They didn't" Jack said. "After Chase passed out, you passed out too and by the time you came to, I don't know what happened, but you kind of snapped." Now I remember. It must've been me overreacting to turning down Princess Celestia. "Where's Chase by the way?" I asked. "Bathroom. They dragged him into this room 10 seconds after you drank the sedative." Nurse Redheart removed the syringe. "Oh, gentlemen? If Chase gets out of line, that syringe is for him. And if that doesn't work..." A nurse entered with a taser. "Thank you nurse. We'll give him the message" Remy said with a grin. The two nurses exited the room. "What happened to Chase?" I asked. "You'll find out once he comes back. Its so fucking hilarious" Jack said. When the door opened, Chase entered like he was drunk. He sauntered over to his bed and collapsed face down on it. We could hear a muffled groan coming from him. "What's his story?" I asked. "After you drank the sedative, and saw what it has done to you, he laughed and began mocking you. He tried imitating you by drinking a sedative, but..." "But what?" I asked as both Jack and Remy tried to hold their laughter. "He didn't drink a sedative nor alcohol." "What did he drink?" I asked. "An entire small bottle of vanilla extract and tried to wash them down with an entire small bottle of almond extract. Then he tried washing down both extracts with a liquid used for eye surgery. He never looked what he picked up." "What were those extracts doing in a hospital anyway?" Chase asked groggily. "I don't know, but it was hilarious before, while, and after you drank it" Jack laughed. I eyed the syringe and the taser. "Then what are those for?" "To stop him from doing something stupid" Remy answered, taking breaths. Chase rolled on his back, continuing to groan. "That was nasty" he moaned, then gagged. I just noticed that he and I were both in our clothes rather in hospital gowns. Nurse Redheart entered the room and smiled at Chase's predicament. "So I'm guessing the syringe and taser won't do?" She asked. "Not at all ma'am" Jack said. "I think he learned his lesson" he said, glancing at Chase. The latter moaned and rolled out of bed, hitting the floor. "You're going to have to leave these two in the hospital for tonight and you could check them out of here tomorrow morning." "Lovely..." I said sarcastically as I turned to my side and slept. Chase got up and climbed back into bed. "That would be nice..." Chase groaned. Jack and Remy bid us goodbye and left the room with the nurse. That Night Nurse Redheart was the only pony inside the hospital. She was working a late night shift filling some paperwork. Outside, 4 soldiers stood by the front door waiting for a fifth. Speak of the devil, he arrived. "Remember, the only body count I want is two. And I want those bodies to be the two Horsemen inside. Let's do this." He opened the door and the five walked in. Nurse Redheart was so focused on her work that she didn't hear the door open. While she was signing a paper, a gloved hand was clamped over her mouth and the other was clamped over her eyes. "You two, tape her up and guard her, you two come with me and lets kill us some Horsemen." I got out of bed and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I approached the door, but before I could open it, I heard voices outside. I pressed my ear against the door and listened closely. "This way. When I give the signal, we'll barge in and gun down the Horsemen." I slowly opened the door and peeked out. Three soldiers were walking down the hall and they were 30 feet away from the room Chase and I are. I crept out of the room, closed the door and walked down the opposite direction. I leaned my back against the wall and looked at the empty hallway. Ahead of me were a set of double doors. I ran down the hallway and peeked through the glass door window. One soldier was sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette while the other was cleaning his gun. I leaned against the wall and unwrapped the bandage around my hand. I knocked lightly against the door and his in the corner. The soldier cleaning his handgun stood up and opened the doors. "Alright, what's the--" I jumped him from behind and wrapped the cloth around his neck and began strangling him. I then dragged the choking soldier into the corner I was hiding and began to tug the cloth tighter and tighter. As soon as he was strangled, I rebandaged my hand, and leaned the soldier against the wall in a sitting position. Outside, the soldier smoking stood up. "What's going on?" He asked as he approached the door. I bent down next to the dead soldier and took his tactical knife. Remaining in the corner, I waited for the soldier to walk through the doors. The second he walked in, I tackled him from the side and pinned him on the floor. I raised the knife up and plunged it into his chest. The soldier opened his mouth to scream but I stuffed his cigarette deep into his mouth and placed a hand over it to prevent him from spitting it out. I then struck him so the cigarette slid down his throat and waited patiently for his screaming and squirming to stop. Once the squirming stopped, I felt three guns aimed at my head. "Get on the ground" one of the soldiers ordered. Shit. I did what I was told. Chase groggily awoke and climbed out of bed. He saw my red leather jacket still hanging on the chair and made his way over to the door and opened it. His senses kicked when he saw me on my knees with my hands bound behind my back. Chase slipped back into the room and slowly closed the door. He eyed the taser on the table and glanced at the door. With a determined look on his face, he grabbed the taser and planned out his attack.
