JP - Kicked while Down

Ami watched Colt in worry.

"I'm trying…" Colt winced as a jolt of pain struck his burned side. "Thrane really kicked me hard when I was down…I didn't really expect him. Just wanted to help the guy dealing with his burning truck…"

“He takes advantage of what makes us good humans.” Frisk said, then got distracted by the incoming texts from Abraham. She read them, frowning. It would be easier if this other clone acted like Canestone, they would know what to do with him then. She did not like Abraham being alone with him, though she thought the clone would have tried something by now.

Ami went to Colt’s bedside. She still wondered if he overheard her conversation about him and Tzeitel with Cody.

Colt nodded and looked at Ami. “What’s up, Ami?” He asked, offering his good hand to her. It was still bandaged up due to the cuts he had all over him, but it didn’t hurt as much as his burnt side. “You been good while I’m trapped in bed healing?”

Leon and Lotus watched, but the moment they heard Klaire calling for them, they were out the door to find her.

Ami nodded, though she was feeling a bit guilty about using her powers when she knew her sister did not want her to.

“What’s wrong?” He asked, watching Ami’s reaction and facial features.

Ami shrugged. She was not sure how Colt would feel about having her powers used on her.

Frisk went between texts from Abraham to a text from Tzeitel. “Tzeitel has gotten her x-rays done.”

“Come on, Ami…it’s okay to talk to me.” Colt told her, gently taking her hand and squeezing it in that fatherly manner he always showed her. Turning his gave to Frisk, he frowned with worry. “How is she? Nothing’s broken, right?”

“The techs will need to review the x-rays, but it doesn't sound like any broken bones jumped out at them.” Frisk said. “She’s probably fine as far as her bones are concerned.” Frisk watched Ami in concern. “Tzeitel will be okay.” She said, thinking that was what was bothering Ami.

Ami nodded.

Colt just stared at Ami with worry, but didn’t push her for answers. He wanted her to know she could trust him but didn’t want her to feel like she had to tell him everything. “I hope Tzeitel is okay, though.” He said and leaned back, shifting in place to get more comfortable.

“Yeah, I probably should go get her so she doesn’t… get lost.” Frisk said. “I can go over the x-rays with the techs with her too. Do you want to keep Colt company, Ami?” Frisk asked.

Ami nodded.

“Thanks Ami,” Colt said and waved as Frisk left. “I hope she’ll catch Tzeitel before she can do something crazy…”

“Like gets drunk or hurts herself in the gym.” Ami said, not missing any of the code talk. She frowned when she heard her shouting in the distance.

Colt looked even more worried. “Uhm

“I’m worried about her.” Ami said, tears in her eyes.

"…why is she yelling about a bullet in her?!” Without thinking, Colt climbed out of bed and was at the door. His IV got jerked out and he bled all over his arm, but he didn’t care. His priority now was Tzeitel.

Ami followed Colt closely.
