It was a calm morning and the beach was not so crowded. There were people moving around, different types of people and all came for different purposes. Logan and Arielle had decided to come to the beach, actually it had been Logan's idea as he had told Arielle that he would want them to do something different. So he had suggested that they visit the beach. Sitting down close to the water on the warm sand. Both in their underwear, basking in the cool ocean breeze moving softly around them, they observed the people around. There were a few surfers out on the water, riding the waves with ease. There were also couples around, most of them walking along the shoreline while orders were seated just like Logan and Arielle. That wasn't all, there were children too, children running around, chasing each other and laughing Between Logan and Arielle was a small cooler with bottles of juice and a plate of roasted meat wrapped in foil that they had picked up on their way here. Arielle bit in

“Ahh! They are here” That was the first thing Logan heard when they walked through the black door. The voice came from a man standing near the center of the room. He was tall, bald, with a wide smile on his face. Looking at him, he was dressed in a sharp dark suit with gold cufflinks and expensive shoes. Mere looking at hom, Logan could tell that this man reeled money. The cost of his shoes alone would be enough to buy the cars of most wealthy people. "Welcome," the man said, spreading his arms slightly. "Logan Lancaster. We have been expecting you."Logan stepped in fully, his eyes sweeping the room.Honestly, It was nothing like he expected. The room was circular. It wasn't the usual square or rectangular shape, it was curved in a way. Logan could see that the ceilings were curved in a wide dome with the walls which were equally curved, it gave the entire space a particular sense of being sealed off from the rest of the world.At the center of the room stood a large round tabl

"Mr. Lancaster?"Hearing this, Logan looked up from the chair he had collapsed into the moment he arrived. A doctor in blue scrubs was walking toward him with a clipboard in hand."Yes." Logan stood immediately. "How is she? Where is she? Can I see her?"Another had been on his mind, while driving here, his mind had been barraged with all sorts of thoughts. The doctor held up a calm hand. "My name is Dr. Felix. I'm the attending physician who handled Miss Shaw when she came in." He gestured toward a quieter corner of the hallway. "Let's step aside."Logan followed him, his jaw tight.Actually when Logan arrived earlier. Dr. Samuel who called him earlier had told him that the attending physician would be with him shortly. "The accident was severe," Dr. Felix said, keeping his voice low. "Therr were multiple impact points on the vehicle. She sustained head trauma, two fractured ribs, and internal bruising." He paused. "We were lucky she was brought in when she was. Any later and th

Later that evening, Logan drove to LFH.The hospital was quieter at this hour. The hallways had a low and steady hum to them, there was nothing like the rushed noise of the daytime. Logan could see a few nurses moving from room to room. Logan walked to Arielle's room and pushed the door open.A small smile spread on his lips as he watched. It was a painful smile, the monitor beside her bed keeping its slow and steady rhythm. After watching her for a while, Logan pulled the chair beside her bed and sat down, resting his arms on his knees.He didn't say anything for a while. He just sat there, it was at that exact moment the door pushed open and Logan looked up to see who it was. His eyes narrowed as he noticed who it was..Sandra. Arielle's roomie and best friend.Logan had totally forgotten to inform the lady, and seeing her here meant she had heard the news one way or the other.For her ti vine visiting at this time of the night only meant that She must have been here during the da

Dinner that evening was quiet.Pa Lancaster sat at the head of the table, Logan on the other hand sat to his right. The food was simple, it was soup, bread and grilled chicken.The old man didn't ask how training went immediately. He waited until they were halfway through the meal."Greg," Pa Lancaster said. "What did you make of him?""He knows what he's doing," Logan said almost immediately like he had been expecting his grandfather to ask the question. The old man nodded like that confirmed something. "He's never failed anyone I've sent to him." He picked up his glass. "How do you feel?""Like I used muscles I forgot I had." Logan laughed. Pa Lancaster laughed too. "Good. That means it's working."They finished dinner a while later and then Logan got up ready to retire for the night. "Rest properly tonight," Pa Lancaster said. “Tomorrow would be a better day” "I'll try," Logan muttered. Pa Lancaster held his gaze for a moment. "She'll be fine, Logan, don't think too much about
