Diana was led to a room. They were four beds in the room,two on the left side and two on the right. Detective Diego was lying on one of the beds by the right, beside him lay Lieutenant Horner. An IV needle was supplying them with the necessary vitamins that they needed.
Diana sat down on one of the chairs next to her father's bed,then held his hand. "Dad, I'm so sorry, I didn't know, if I did I would have come earlier"
"Is that you D, how are you"
"I'm not good,I mean look at you dad". She said referring to the bandages on his head, shoulder and belly.
"Yeah I know, the Silver Ghost had us cornered, sometimes I wonder if he really works alone"
"I take it that you went to protect Mr Cooper"
"Yep, but the bastard ran away or perhaps the Silver Ghost got him"
"You need to rest dad, have you eaten anything yet"
"Nope, only an apple"
"Well then,I'll get something for you to eat". She was about to go, when she smelt a familiar perfume and heard that deep and annoying voice, that could make any girl mad just by hearing it.
"Detective Diego,I heard about what happened to you"
"Son of a bit**". Detective Diego reached for his gun and was about to shoot him if not for Diana.
"Oh My God,dad!!!!!". She immediately collected the gun from her father's hand.
"What's he doing here D"
"Dad calm down okay." She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"I'm so sorry Detective,I just thought I'd see you and apologize"
"Of all the time to come for apologies, you choose the time when I am bedridden, and don't have the energy and capacity to kill you or fling you out the window"
"I'm sorry, I heard about what happened,is the Silver Ghost that....,I don't know... efficient and dangerous"
"Yeah,he kinda reminds me of you. So now you're back eh, I hope you brought my daughter back with you or else you are gonna regret it"
"Oh come on Dad". Diana sighed and rubbed her temples.
"Don't tell me that you've forgiven this SCUMBAG for cheating on you, and killing your sister, and causing your mom to abandon us"
"Of course not dad, but dad please be quiet and receive your drip in peace, please"
"No way Diana, don't you see that he's using you. After all these years you still have the guts to show up here. I swear if not for the fact that I'm bedridden I would have killed you with my own hands, the same way you killed my baby girl, and left Diana in shambles"
"Enough dad!!!!"
"No it's not enough D, he's the reason that your sister is dead, and the reason that your mom left us. But look at him, his life is still perfect, almost as if he never left, while we are suffering. Your sister could still be alive if not for him, your mother could still be here if not for him"
"I said ENOUGH!!!!". With that she stormed off.

After Mia and Richard had breakfast,he dropped her off at college, while he went to the office.
He parked his car,then went up the elevator to his office. In his office,his secretary, Sophie came and handed him some files.
"Good morning sir, hope you had a great night"
" Yes I did as a matter of fact, thank you". He collected the files and began to work on them.

Theodore followed Diana and caught up with her when she reached the roof of the hospital. It was said that that was the were doctors who lost their patients would stay and cry. Now it was Diana who was crying.
Her whole body shook, she hugged herself and buried her head in between her legs.
Theodore approached her slowly,then crouched down to her level and brought her into his embrace. Diana was too tired and weak to push him away from her, instead she allowed herself to be held, God knows how long she had waited to be held by this man.
***********************
By the time Diana finished crying, and came downstairs with his food, she found him already asleep, so she left the food on his table,then went home in the company of Theodore. She went to her room and had a long deep sleep.

Two weeks after the unexpected visit from the greek god, Theodore, April had just put the finishing touches on her latest project, when she stretched and went back to her desk. "Perhaps I would request to be placed back in my old office". April thought.
Jebediah walked towards her. "Hey you,I was thinking, you're an intern you need more knowledge of a desk job, not to work in a lab, so you are going to be working with Simon and Joanna in the IT section, okay"
"Yes!!!, I was just about to suggest that, cause I didn't actually study robotics, so working on the eye cam was really stressful"
"Okay, well I'm glad we're on the same page. You may go".
April nodded then packed her things then headed back to the IT department.
