[Nuit étoilée]
Jemisha arrived at Blake's store and came to see how the setup of the camera came along.
'Blake!'
"Rose!?"
Jemisha hugged him.
"What brings you here?"
'Well I was wondering how it was going with the installment of your security system.'
"Well, by the looks of it they seemed to hit a problem with the software. I told them to call Hugo, but he seems to has difficulty to figure out the problem."
Jemisha sighed and walked over to the people.
'Quel est le problème?'
"Patron il semble y avoir un problème dans la configuration du protocole de détection."
'Hmm… Qu'a dit Hugo?'
"Il y travaille mais il n'arrive pas à trouver le problème."
Jemisha found the problem in just 2 minutes and fixed it.
'Je l'ai corrigé, s'il y a plus de problèmes, appelez-moi et je l'examinerai.'
She decided to call Hugo because it wasn't like him to not be able to spot such an obvious error.
Jemisha walked to side and made a video call to him.
"Rose, why are you calling, is everything alright?"
'I should ask you that question, what's up with you for not able to spot an obvious error?'
"Ahh, I'm sorry Rose… I think…"
Hugo collapsed during her call and Blake saw the horrified look on her face.
'Hugo? Hey Hugo!, Hugo!, Hugo!'
Jemisha started to panic and was in absolute state of fear
'Hugo!, say something!'
Blake rushed over to her and tried to calm her down.
He made a call to Hades.
"You go to Hugo right this instant, he collapsed during a video call."
"And I want to know what is going on and how it's possible for him to collapse like that."
Blake took her phone from her and ended the call.
He took her to his office and had his secretary bring some water and he sat with her, hugging her.
"It's going to be fine Black Rose, although he complains a lot he is strong."
'But he looked a lot thinner than last time and he also looked so tired…'
'I'm scared, Grey!'
'He needs to get out of their asap.'
'I don't want to lose him.'
"I know and I will have Hades move him to Harvey as soon as he is fit to move."
"Why don't you go back and I'll handle…"
'No!'
'I want stay here until you get word from Hades about his condition.'
"Alright, Black Rose."
Blake laid her head down on his lap and tried to calm her down by stroking her head.
"I'll let Jake know what happened and that you'll be here for a while longer."
She nodded and closed her eyes.
Although she and Blake hugged and be flirty with each other, this was the first time she felt his soft and caring side.
After 2 hours Hades called and Blake put it on speaker.
"I got Hugo to the General Hospital in Sydney, it seems he is malnourished and dehydrated."
"He will be released after two days."
Jemisha started to tear up and Blake felt the warm drops.
'Please don't let him return there, I beg of you. Please don't, he will die if he goes back.'
Both Hades and Blake couldn't help but feel the pain and the fear she was feeling.
"Black Rose… But how are we going to get him out? If he doesn't return…, my grandfather will be…"
Jemisha got up from Blake's lap and whipped away her tears.
'I send Hawk to Sydney, and I will have Lorenzo, Nathaira and Hunter go to the hospital he is staying at and let them guard him. When he is ready to be released I have him transported to the airport and let him fly over to Harvey.'
Blake and Hades thought it was a good plan, Hugo would be the safest at his side.
"Alright, I'll wait till Hugo regains his conscience and you inform your people, I'll wait till they come here."
Blake ended the call and Jemisha called Nathaira, Lorenzo and Hunter, she explained the situation and told them to guard Hugo till he was ready to be released and bring him to Sydney airport and find Thomas, and should be looking for a black plain with a red rose on the tail .
The three of them did what she asked and went to the hospital.
Jemisha got up but stumbled and lost her balance.
Blake caught her and held her firmly.
"Are you alright?"
'I'm fine Grey, just a little dizzy.'
Blake held his hand against her forehead and felt she was burning up.
"You're not fine, your burning up, you have a fever."
"I'll bring you back to your Hotel."
She nodded and she held on to Blake and he walked her to her car.
Half way she fainted due to the fever, Blake saw the sweat drops on her forehead, neck and décolleté and he checked her temperature again but she was so hot he turned around and drove to the hospital.
A doctor saw Blake trying to get her out.
"Blake, let me help you."
Blake looked up and saw a familiar face, it was one of Loki's men.
"What are you doing here, Justin?"
"Loki told me Black Rose was in Paris and I should come here just in case."
"That's great."
Justin signaled for some people to get the stretcher that was near the entrance.
They got Jemisha out of the car and brought her to the emergency room.
"What happened?"
Blake summarized it for him.
Justin looked concerned. "This is not good, her temperature is over 40°c."
"Does this happen often?"
"Last time she got a fever due to anxiety and fear was when she got a DNA test report, but it was mild."
Justin told the nurses to put her on an IV-drip and take her to the hospital therapy bath to lower her temperature.
Jake, Jasmin and Richard arrived when they got the message.
"Mom, dad, you go with her, I'll come and find you guys later."
Justin took them to the therapy area and saw her being put in to the bath.
'Richard…'
"Don't worry Jasmin, she is strong. She will get through this."
Blake told him what she had arranged for Hugo at the moment.
"Alright I send Thomas to Australia and call Harvey and update him on the situation."
"I'll call Jack, but I think she will only get peace of mind seeing Hugo save and sound."
"I thought so too, but now that Chris is out…"
"Don't worry, all we need to do is manage her metal thought, and get Hugo here."
"If we do that, than for her mentally shutting down or shutting us out will be less likely."
After soaking for 3 hours her temperature finally started to go down.
Blake called Harvey and told him what happened. After Jemisha got better he will send Hugo to him, because if he was send back even he didn't know what would happen to her if this would happen again.
"I understand, let me know when he will be coming and I'll personally go and pick him up."
"Understood."
"What's up, Jake."
"Well prepare yourself, because I don't have good news."
"What's the matter?"
Jake took a deep breath.
"It's baby Rose… she was with Blake helping fix a problem. She then made a video call to Hugo to see what was going one with him because she thought it was strange he had a hard time to fix the problem."
"During the call he collapse right in front her eyes, it send her to the highest level of anxiety, panic and fear."
"Blake took her to his office to calm her down and told Hades to see what was going on, when Hades told him Hugo was starved and dehydrated, she feared for Hugo's life."
"Before she collapsed she managed to cook up a rescue plan for Hugo, but when she was ready to leave she started to get a fever. On the way back it got worse."
"When Blake arrived at the hospital her body temperature was already above 40°c"
"She is now in a therapy cold bath to get her temperature down."
"But I'm afraid once she regains her conscience, she will either shut down or shut us out until she sees Hugo is fine."
"So Blake and I will have Thomas pick up Hugo and bring him here until she is better and then send him to Harvey."
Jack was in shock that something like this had happen.
"Alright, you bring Hugo to her. Because if you don't there is no telling how long it will take for her to return to her normal self."
"Jake take good care of her, call me if you need help with her."
"I will, but honestly speaking, I can't take this anymore. I just want to go back and kill that bastard right now."
"It hurts me to see her like this, I can't stand it anymore."
"I know, but right now you and Blake are the only once she has right now, you need to be strong for her, you two can't fall now."
"I know… but still."
"Jake you're the eldest, but I will share that burden, you just need to call me, that's all."
"I know, Jack."
"Hurry up and finish that mission of yours or else I send dad after you to help you out."
"Please, don't."
"Keep me up-to-date about our baby Rose, I'll go break the news to Chris."
"Alright."
Jake hang up the call and Justin brought them to Jemisha
As they were looking through the window, it was easy to see that these two grown man couldn't help but feel powerless to see her like that.
