Here I lie at the mercy of my enemies, confusion in my soul .....
I lay here in this pristine white hospital bed, my chest aching and tight, a new heart beating strong and clean within me ....
[[Liquid closes his eyes, there are too many emotions, and he's not good with these sorts of feelings, rage and hate and bitterness are just so much easier, even in their intensity they are better to handle, less crippling ]]
No one has been allowed in, or have they all decided to desert me now?
Where is my sweet young brother, I expected to see him here, I was a fool to think the reckless notions I had, or am I only mourning in error, will he come to me at any moment? My sweet David...... [[his inner voice trails off, the yearning and longing for the Rookie moves his soul to hurt in a way Liquid loathes, because it makes him weaker even still ]]
I hear talking outside the room.
My brother ....one of them ...will come to me soon, or perhaps Father ...
I won't feel so alone.
I hate needing.
I hate hurting.
Adamska................what I wouldn't give to have you here with me now ............your young self even, someone, bloody hell I am going mad with need, and I am not a needy person!! I am not a victim, I am the conqueror, I am the master of the whole world ... I am ....
Bested.
But only for the moment.
.....my wiser brother, David ....what lies ahead for us? Were your words true? Father....how can you make amends for discarding me as garbage, for consigning me to refuse....
I am lonely.
I hear footsteps ..................................someone's coming........
[[ Liquid has no idea that the one headed in momentarily is someone who has more hate than love for him, someone that will bring him no comfort, only a threat, only a hurt ---that Jack Bauer is about to put him to the Question like in the days of old, interrogation to find out where the Tardis is, and other things that must be addressed ]]
