A wall between

Chapter Thirteen

Miho returned to the hospital, worried about Robin’s condition She wanted to get away from the horrible thought that she would be out there hunting down Amon. The simple fact of it all, she hated the order she had to take.

Slipping in to the room, she found Robin sitting up in her bed. She was simply staring into her lap, not moving a muscle. Miho took a step towards the girl, who upon hearing her looked up.
“ Hi.” Robin said meekly. From her streaked face, the girl had been crying.

The hunter woman got to the bed side and looked at the younger hunter.
“ Are you feeling better?” She asked.
“ I have a bit of a headache still...” Started the girl quietly, her eyes still letting tears fall. “ But this is all so odd...”
“ It’s hard for all of us to comprehend.” Agreed the hunter woman.

Robin looked deep into the woman’s face, seemingly reading Miho’s expression.
“ So... the others know?” She asked, afraid of the answer that might come from her friend.
“ I had to tell them all.” She admitted.
“ What are they going to do?”

This was the part of this conversation, Miho knew was coming, and dreaded, but she knew she had to be straight forward with the young hunter girl.
“ I won’t lie to you...” She said with a sigh. “ There is an order out to hunt Amon.”

Robin lowered her head.
“ I was thinking that might happen.” She said, her voice barely over a whisper.
” It came down just a few hours ago.” Karasuma explained. “ It was a hard decision, but because he had awakened, and his erratic behavior, it was the only logical thing Headquarters could do.” Miho looked right at the girl. “ I scryed the room after it happened, and I saw the attack.”

Robin nodded her head, knowing the woman would have done that in the course of her investigation. She could hardly believe it herself. Her own Husband and the father of her unborn baby attacking her. It seemed all to surreal. She felt her stomach knotting with the thought of everything.

Miho looked at the girl, as tears flowed down her face. She did not have any words of comfort for her young friend, no words could possibly help the fact that the man that she loved had so viciously attacked her like that. That was the part of this all that just did not add up to her. Perhaps Awakening had made Amon go crazy or something. Either way, he was a loose cannon.. A danger.

Robin suddenly sat totally straight up in her bed and a huge gasp of air could be heard. Miho was startled by the sudden movement of the girl, and looked. The girl’s eyes were big a saucers, and the tears that she had been having were gone.
“ Miho!!” She said, very loudly. “ That’s it... that was not Amon’s craft!”
“ What are you talking about?” The woman asked.

Robin did not answer the girl right off, as she had flung her legs off the bed and jumped to her feet. Miho was perplexed at the girl getting up.
“ You should be resting, you may have a concussion..” She warned, but the girl seemed to not even hear her.

The tawny haired girl looked right at the woman.
“ What hit me was not Amon’s craft!!” She shouted. “ When we battled the syndicates men awhile ago, he stopped them with his powers... microwave powers.”
“ Microwaves?” Echoed the lady, trying to grasp the girl’s quick spewing words.
“ Yes, microwaves.” Reiterate the young hunter, racing to a free standing cupboard in the corner of the room. “ He used them to save Nagira, himself and me just as you all came in to the basement.”

Miho paused.
“ He awakened earlier?” She questioned.
“ Yes... he did not to tell anyone about it, just wanting to get a handle on it on his own first.” Robin explained. “ Don’t you see... if that was his power, he would have cooked me like a tv dinner.... that man that attacked me was not Amon.”

Miho got the picture after a second of thought. The explanation made her feelings before seem like they had been right.
“ But how is that even possible?” She said. “ He was hurt badly by getting beat, I never thought on that, just how whoever it was had attacked you.”
“ When I saw who I thought was Amon, he was dressing, getting ready to leave the hospital. I had just thought it was his stubbornness that was making him go, you know he is stubborn as heck... but I think that was not my Husband.”
“ Any idea of who then.”

Robin thought back and gasped.
“ I had came in t see him, and I was forcibly made to leaver the room by two man in suits.” She said, as the time before the attack leapt into her mind, making things even more clearer.
“ Two men?” The brown haired hunter asked, hearing this piece of information.
“ The nurse, the one that is out there right now... she saw the men, and was so scared, that she got me out of there as fast as she could.”

Robin grabbed her clothes out of the closet thing, as Miho ran out of the room. On her wobbly feeling legs just began to dress, she needed to get out of here and stop the hunt any way possible.

Miho came back in to the room.
“ I talked to the nurse... she gave me a description of these men..” She said, then looked at the girl. “ Did you ever figure out who these two were, or why they had came to see Amon?”
“ No, that was one of the reasons why I had gone to see him.” The girl said, pulling on her clothes in a very big rush.

Karasuma thought on it for a second, as the young hunter woman readied herself. She now understood it all.
“ We have to stop the hunt!!” The lady said with conviction.
“ We have to finds out who this fake Amon is, and where my husband got too.” Pointed out the young girl.

Finally fully dressed, the young girl ran to the door, followed by Miho.
“ Before we get out of here, I would like to go to his old room and do another reading.”

Robin nodded, seeing that the lady was understanding everything now. In tandem, they both hurried through the halls of the hospital back to the man’s room.

Once in the room, Miho looked at the girl.
“ Where was he standing, when whoever attacked you.”

Robin moved to point to the spot she knew where the Amon lookalike was standing, and took a step out of the way. Miho went over to the spot and knelt down, putting her hands on the floor in reading herself. Closing her eyes, Miho let her powers do their work as Robin waited nervously. Seconds passed by like hours.

Eyes blinking open, Miho gasped a very loud swear. She turned to the waiting young hunter.
“ I have scryed Amon before, by accident a long time ago... this man who looks like Amon, is not Amon.” She said. “ I scryed the room in general before, but i should have done a much better job of it... this is proof. The man that attacked you, Robin, is beyond a doubt... not your husband.”

Robin felt relief flow over her, then she gasped.
“ If that was not my husband, who is it.”
“ By the reading I got, someone with a hell of a lot of anger inside them... I got this almost overpowering feeling of anger.” Miho stood up. “ We have to stop the hunt any way we can, or the STN are going to make one hell of a big mistake.”
“ You mean...” Asked Robin tentatively.
“ Haruto and Dojima are out there doing the initial scouting for Amon... but it is not Amon we are after.”

The two hurried out of the room and int the hall. They needed to sign out Robin and get back to the STN and fast.

The Doctor that was Robins suddenly appeared in front of them.
“ Where are you going, Miss Syunji?” He asked, seemingly quite shock at seeing his patient out of bed.
“ Thank to for everything, but I need to get out of her fast.” Robin said as politely as she could, as she stepped around the doctor and followed the woman who had already done so. “ I just have to go find my husband before it is too late.

The two Hunters were down the hall and gone in a matter of moments. The doctor watched them go, a frown on his long face was prominent. He went to a nearby stairwell and pulled out his cellphone. He dialed and then he spoke.
“ The girl has figured something out.” Was all that could be made out through the man’s whispers into the phone before he put it away and went back inside to the main part of the hospital.
