"Woah...Blood is really red," Klaus said, snickering. "Maybe I can make myself laugh by poking my tummy..." He laughed, as he poked himself.

Claire helped Lindow and Sunny move Klaus to the nurse's office. As Klaus was delusional, Claire gave a concerned glance to the others.

Lindow gave a Claire a look that said "He'll be okay, don't worry. I hope."

They opened the door to the nurse's office quickly. The nurse, who normally was very nonchalant, had taken the initiative when it came to caring for Carmelita. The nurse immediately came to the door and helped bring Klaus to a table reserved for sick patients. The nurse looked up at the girls and asked, "Where did you find him? What was he doing when this happened?"

"He was just lying on the floor, bleeding. Please don't use the defibrulator." The defibrulator was a live wire used not only for heart attacks, but also to shock delerious or fitful orphans to sensfullness.

The nurse turned her attention to Klaus and started asking him basic health questions such as, "How are you feeling? What hurts? Do you have any allergies? Do you take any medications? Has this ever happened in the past? What was the last thing you ate or drank? And what were you doing when this happened?" as well as questions to make sure he was oriented such as "What is the year? How many fingers am I holding? Where are you now?" etc. The nurse had been trained in First Aid and CPR nearly twenty years ago, but still remembered it crystal clear. She recited the questions calmly and took note of each of Klaus's answers. Claire was amazed at how different the nurse's demeanor was when faced with an emergency situation. It appeared at least one of her first impressions was wrong.

Lindow breathed a sigh of relief, then became worried again when she knew that Klaus was too delusional to remember anything.

Claire looked back at Lindow and the others. She gave them a reassuring smile, hoping that everything would be alright. "The nurse knows what she is doing," Claire reminded herself. "Everything will be alright. At least I hope it will..."

Carmelita turned her head to the side to see what all the commotion was about. Realising that these were not visitors coming to see her, she got out of bed to take a closer look at what everyone was all crowding around for. Pushing Violet aside she stared down at klaus covered with blood and promptly fainted for the second time that evening.

Sunny, trying to keep ahold of herself, walked in front of Klaus. "Me Sunny." *I'm your sister, Sunny. Do you remember me?*

Lindow started crying. "It's all my fault!"

Claire comforted Lindow, "It's not your fault. Don't worry. He'll be better." She watched as Carmelita stood up, looked at Klaus, and fainted yet again. "Here, help me put Carmelita back on the table," Claire asked Lindow, hoping that it would get her mind off her worry.

Lindow helped Claire but continued crying. "I should have turned him away! I should have told him to go to another orphanage, no matter what he was told to do! He had too much potential to come here and have something happen to him! He's too nice to get mixed up with a person like me!" She started sobbing.

Claire patted Lindow on the back after setting Carmelita gently on the table. "It'll be alright. He needed somewhere to stay, and it would have been rude not to let him come here. Despite the tendency of sudden illnesses, the run-down building, and the dangerously poisoned food here, Quentin's has some good points. I mean, look at the kind volunteers here! You couldn't find anyone as willing to help out then the people here at Quentin's. You have good intentions, and all that happened to Klaus was a little accident."

She leaned into Claire and whispered "You don't understand! Three orginizations are here, VFD, TWH, and AACO. AACO is after TWH and VFD, at least here. You see, all the members are children here, and AACO memebers are adults who lurk everywhere! The staff tries to catch them, but sometimes they get away. AACO stands for Adults Against Child Orginizations. I'm in TWH, myself." She held out her left hand. A navy skeleton key was tattooed on her palm.
