Mirino thinks for a moment sitting on a street bench, she plays back last night in her head. One guy came in with a trench coat... He was looking for me, the other guy came in to kill Crazy Jack. But why Teddy? Why the bouncer? She has a flash og Jack lying on the table blood seeping from his chest to the floor. Then she sees has another glance of Teddy lying on the floor with three metal objects in his chest. "He was breathing when I left..." She stands up, "He's probably in the hospital!" her eyes water up, "So my ninja didn't kill two people!" She closes her eyes and looks down, "He just killed one..." A bus pulls up and the door opens.
"You gonna get in?" The woman behind the wheel asks. Mirino climbs the large steps.
(A little over a half hour later)
She runs off the bus and into the large hospital yelling at the receptionist "A friend of mine was hurt last night!"
"Are you family?" The woman asks without looking at her.
"Yes." It's obvious she's lying by the look on her face, but the only thing the woman is looking at is a stack of forms.
"Male or female?"
"His name is Theodore. I think..."
"Excuse me?"
"We all call him Teddy."
"What was the reason he was admitted?" Mirino focuses on the floor and plays back the incident in her head. "Excuse me, are you listening?"
"Oh yes sorry. He was attacked... He was hit by a couple of sharp metal things..."
"The big guy in the penguin suit?" Mirino nods violently. "Right this way." She walks with the nurse toward her hope. "He's been in ICU since last night, he had to get fifty-three sticthes. He's lucky he is bulky, if he hadn't had that extra inch of fat on him he wouldn't be with us. There was some kind of poison on the shurikens, that's what they were, I didn't know people still used those. Anyway we havn't been lucky as to find the antodote yet. It's some rare Earth venom, ever since that damn sattelite exploded... He isn't able to talk, the poison causes paralysis, but he is so big that it wasn't enough to stop his vital organs from working." The two women watch Teddy as the breathing machine keeps pumping his lungs. "I'll leave you alone with him, but I'm pretty sure he won't talk." The woman leaves Mirino in the open room, with the white curtain open. She walks closer to the bouncer and looks at the tubes in his nose.
"How can somebody kill..."
