The office doors slid open and Keto stepped quietly in, glancing
back at the crowd of people still watching the Tree's balletic
movements.
"'Oh, we have to do something, we have to fight the big mobile
robot suit,'" he mimicked bitterly, "Not THIS doctor! If people need
medical help, then fine, but I'm not leaving this room! Let THEM
come to ME!"
It was then that his eyes lit upon Amber's bleeding form.
"Oh, smegging TYPICAL!" he growled as he hurried across, taking in
the pools of blood still leaking from the ex-pilot's wrists, "And
with your dad in the next room, too...you're not one for subtlety,
are you?"
Amber, being seconds away from unconsciousness, made little
comprehensible reply.
Keto quickly wrapped up her wrists with the few bandages he had in
the office, then poked his head back round the door.
"Wildflower!" he hissed, grabbing the nurse's elbow.
"What is it?"
"Ssshh! Much though it pains me, I need your help. Get me some
more bandages, plasma and...dammit, we're going to need Rufus here
for a transfusion..."
"Transfusion!? What..."
"I SAID SSSHH!" snapped Keto, then immediately dropped his voice
when Phil glanced across at him curiously, "Look, just get them and
get back here, this is an emergency. If you can get any of the other
staff members, do it...what with Jack and Amber, we might need them."
Wildflower stared at him, but hurried away without saying anything
more.
"Now then," murmured Keto to himself, as he returned to the office
and lifted Amber onto his desk, "This is almost enough to make me
think you'll need to see Cerebrum...IF we manage to get you through
this..."
