Upon seeing the frantic CEO Charles, Ali stepped forward.

"He's fine, relatively," Ali said while Lucka continued to examine Kyle.

"What happened?" CEO Charles said.

Ali was stumped as to what and how this could be explained. The fact that the lift fell was one thing but what about Kyle being out here?

While Ali was racking his brains to think of an answer, Alex said, "The lift was stuck inbetween floors and Kyle was inside. He called us about it and we came to help."

"Why didn't you just call for help?" CEO Charles asked in puzzlement, also partly in anger. How could they have thought they had the skills to get someone out of a stuck lift?

"Kyle said he had already done so," Alex explained calmly, repeating what Kay was telling him. In truth, the cover-up story was being provided by Kay, who was currently directing Alex what to say via the earpiece.

Lucka took the opportunity that the attention was not focused on him at the moment to surreptitiously take out Kyle's earpiece. He palmed it so that it remained hidden, then proceeded to openly remove all of Kyle's personal items. Once the response team arrived, the items would be a hindrance.

"We came here to wait for the rescue team to arrive. But when we heard this loud crash, we just started running and were quite rude to the people here. We apologize for that. We didn't mean to push you aside but we were so worried," Alex said with a sad face and he bowed to the people who he had pushed aside.

Those that had initially been angry were appeased and understood the situation after hearing what Alex said. Especially when they saw the injured Kyle on the floor who still had his eyes closed.

"We thought the worst and when the doors opened, we were just so relieved to see him hanging there. How he got there, we don't know," Alex finished explaining.

The best person to come up with the cover story about that would be Kyle but he was out of commission at the moment. So the next best move was to simplify and give just enough information about the accident instead.

The rest of the team were already doing what needed to be done to create a back-up to the story that they had given. Not like there was much to do, except tamper with the security footage within the lift. For that, Zero simply erased all footage from the moment Kyle sat down in the lift.

He then made it seem like the camera malfunction along with all the electronic wiring in the lift and anything connected to it. Thus, there was only static after that. That way, it wouldn't have been weird to see how Kyle, who had been sitting in the lift until the moment it fell, was suddenly outside and on the ledge.

"Kyle! Kyle! Stay awake, ya hear me?" Xing Han was shouting as he crouched next to Kyle, his face all scrunched up in worry. One would even think he was going to cry. When Kyle didn't respond, Xing Han leaned down and stared at his face.

"Hey, we haven't gone on a double date yet, so you can't fall asleep now. You also promised to feed me! And not to mention, you have to find a girl first. And one for me. Or two. No wait. I shouldn't since I have a fiancee. But who said I can't play until the day, right? And YOU! You need to find one, too, before you're 18! Otherwise, you're going to be stuck with someone you don't know and ..."

"So noisy" mumbled Kyle.

"KYLE!" wailed Xing Han.

Kyle weakly patted Xing Han's hand.

"I'm fine. Dizzy. Can't open eyes. Ankle hurts, too," Kyle replied softly, finding it an effort even to say that much.

"Stupid Kyle," Xing Han sniffed, "You should have said something earlier and not lie down there like a corpse! Made me so worried for nothing. Humph."

Kyle's lips curled up a bit into a smile.

"I got to hear Bullet Train again. Wasn't for nothing," Kyle said with a small laugh then regretted it for it made his head pound more.

[Stay awake, dear brother]

Although Kyle wasn't wearing his earpiece anymore, Kay could still hear what was happening through Alex's and Lucka's earpieces. All of their earpieces were connected to each other so the only person who couldn't hear was Kyle.

Kay smiled a bit, touching the laptop screen that showed the security camera where Kyle was. At least, with Xing Han there, Kay felt a little reassured. She wanted to rush over as well but she also knew, that by the time she reached there, he would already be on his way to the hospital. It was best that she meet him there instead.

Kay sighed. It was hard to hold back, though.

Ali was just watching the scene quietly, smiling. Right now, everyone else was also watching how gentle the Devil Director was being and they couldn't believe it. At that moment, he actually looked like a normal, human being comforting someone else. The change was just too drastic!

Kyle was getting sleepy and tired but he knew he shouldn't succumb to it. Not until the medic arrived, that is. Even the numbing pain in his ankle was of no help to keeping him awake. So he tried to give some responses to Xing Han and then to Kay so as to keep himself awake.

The emergency response team came and quickly stabilised Kyle. They secured his neck in a brace so that his head wouldn't move so much, checked his pulse, his eye dilation and started inserting an IV line. They cut open the lower part of his jeans and secured the sprain by wrapping bandages tightly around it. He was quickly placed on a stretcher and ushered into the waiting ambulance below.

Xing Han insisted on going inside the ambulance, refusing to leave Kyle's side. The paramedics finally made a decision to allow him to do so, even though the regulations state only immediate family could go.

The reason being that Xing Han looked like he was hyperventilating and may faint, as his excessive behaviour would only calm down if he was beside the patient. They didn't want to have to turn around and come back for him nor answer to the hospital for leaving behind a potential patient.

"Go," Ali said as Xing Han climbed into the ambulance, "I'll get Kay and we'll meet you at the hospital."

Alex and Lucka watched as the ambulance took their Leader away and was itching to join as well. But, they knew they couldn't. Their job was here, and their presence at the hospital wouldn't change anything. Steeling their hearts, they trudged back to their HQ, their mood somber.

Kay was waiting impatiently at the hotel doors. She managed to pay one of the employees at the hotel to take care of Oreo while she went to the hospital. Once she saw the taxi that Ali and Sam were in, she quickly got in.

It was a 10-minute drive to the hospital but it felt like hours. Kay rushed to the registration desk and saw Xing Han pacing there. His eyes lit up when he saw them.

"He's gone for some tests," Xing Han said, "MRI and something-something I can't remember."

Kay patted his shoulder, saying, "Kyle will be fine. He's stubborn that way."

"I tried to do his registration but they wanted Uncle or Auntie instead since I'm not family," Xing Han said, gesturing to the nurses.

"No problem," Kay replied, "I'll handle this. You should go and get something to eat or drink."

"Come on," Ali said as he tugged on Xing Han, "You can't let Kyle see you like this when he gets back, can you?"

"But what if he lost his memories? What if he doesn't remember me? What if he doesn't even know I'm his BFF?! What if ... " Xing Hans' voice trailed off as Ali took him away.

Kay took a deep breath and settled all of Kyle's admittance procedure. She filled in the form, chose the VVIP room that was in a secured private wing and gave them her supplementary credit that her parents gave.

At first, the nurses were about to object to the choice of room due to the exclusive nature of the wing. It was reserved for Heads of State, or prominent figures such as foreign dignitaries. However, the Staff Nurse paused when she saw the name 'Kyle Smith'.

It was Spiderman Kyle aka the Smith Heir.

Earlier, it had been too rushed to truly know his identity and even when they heard the name 'Kyle', they didn't associate it with THE Kyle. There was no doubt that his identity was enough to qualify for the VVIP room.

Word quickly went around the ward about the latest emergency admittance. With his identity and the cause of his admittance, the hospital would surely be stormed by the media and curious public. Hence, they needed to be prepared.

Kay now took out her phone and gulped.

"Give me the phone," Sam said, "I'll call them to let them know."

Kay shook her head, "Thank you, Sam but no. I should do it. I'm just wondering how to break it to them. It's been barely a month since the Mall T incident. Now, this."

"Why don't you wait until the results are out?" Sam suggested, "Perhaps then, the news won't be too much of a blow."

"Perhaps," Kay said, "I need to think about it. First, there are a few calls I need to make."

Sam nodded and sat down waiting for news while Kay walked a bit further away.

Kay was thinking hard on the next few steps that she needed to do. The lift malfunction would be big news and she knew it was a matter of time before the newshounds would get hold of it. She knew she had to tell her parents before they found out from the news again but before that, she had to secure the area.

She didn't trust the hospital's arrangement. The lift incident wasn't an accident. She had to make sure no such accident happened in the hospital.
