When Thorn got to the hospital, he saw that Victorique wasn't there yet. Instead of waiting for her, he walked up to his brother's room. When he got in there, there was a hoard of nurses. He was immediately scolded for dragging his brother out of there. He could have died! But there were a few other things he was getting scolded for. He was sent out into the hallway while they waited for Jagger to arrive. They planned to situate him without anyone else in the room to bother them. But there was something else on Thorn's mind as he sat on a bench in the hallway outside of his brother's room, head in his hands.

When Victorique finally go to the hospital, she opened up the back doors to her car. "Mr. Pontmercy? Can you wake up? I can help you to your room but I certainly can't carry you..." she said, but didn't dare touch him. She didn't want to break him anymore. If he didn't respond though, she'd probably have to go get a man-nurse to help her out.

"Hm?" Jagger said, hearing his name. He was almost terrified that he couldn't see anything when he opened his eyes, but then he remembered that he had been in a car accident and had a blind over his eyes. He slowly drug himself up so that his feet were out of the car and on the ground. Since he couldn't see, he held his hand out for whoever was with him to help him up. He knew his limits.

Victorique was thankful that she didn't have to call for a man nurse. She helped Jagger up and let him lean on her while she brought him into the hospital. A nurse totally took over and was kind of freaking out. Probably because their patient had been stolen. The nurse took him to his room and Victorique followed. But she wasn't allowed in. Instead, she was left outside with Thorn. She leaned against the wall that was on the opposite side of the door to Jagger's room.

Thorn suddenly realized that there was someone else in the hall with him. He glanced in between his fingers to see that it was Victorique. He quickly ran one hand across his face, then looked up at her. His eyes were wet, and it looked like he had almost been crying. Almost. Close, but not quite.
"Thank God you're here, Vic!" he exploded, "I need your help so fucking bad!"

Victorique was surprised by the explosion. She had noticed Thorn but she hadn't been paying too much attention to what he had been doing. "What do you mean'? What are you talking about?" she asked, worried now.

"I have a really, really, really big problem on my hands! I need a defense attorney and quick, and I don't think my brother will be able to defend me any time soon!" Thorn stumbled out. The words followed each other almost immediately. It was easy to tell that he was nervous and maybe evem a little scared.

"Uhmm... I'm brand new at this, don't you know?" Victorique said, and kind of wanted to know what the sudden issue was. Maybe it had something to do with him nearly killing a small child? Yeah, I'd sue for that. "And I don't even know what this case is about..." she added, hoping he'd totally take the hint.

"Do you remember what I told you earlier, Vic? I hit that little girl on my motorcycle? She died today! They're going to arrest me once they're done situating Jagger! And you're the only good attorney I know that doesn't absolutely hate me! Besides my brother, of course, but he's kind of in the hospital!" Thorn ranted.

"How am I supposed to defend that, Thorn?" Victorique asked, shocked and somewhat horrified. She didn't really want to say anything more than that because she didn't want Thorn to start crying. She'd feel bad.

"I don't know!" Thorn gasped, "You're the defense attorney! Didn't my brother teach you anything? I didn't mean to kill her, and I don't want to go to jail!"
Thorn was almost in hysterics. He was so scared of what was going to happen next.

Victorique felt bad about this so what else could she do? "Fine. I'll try to help you. But I'm really not sure how I'm going to be able to get you off the hook.." she said. If he had killed the girl, then it was his fault and he was guilty? That was about all there was to it. "If you did kill her... it means you're guilty. So unless we can find someone else who had been the ultimate cause of death..." she said with a sigh, "we don't really have a good enough case." she breathed.

Thorn exploded, "B-But I-I d-don't WANT TO GO TO JAIL!"
He grabbed onto Victorique's shirt with both hands and stared up at her with a pleading look in his eyes. He was so scared for himself. He only felt a little remorse at killing the little girl though. He had a bad childhood, therefore wasn't a big fan of children.

"Well... tell me exactly what had happened on that day, when you hit her. Every detail, if you can. Even the ones you don't think are terribly important." Victorique suggested, trying to make him feel better, even though she thought the entire situation was pretty much helpless. Who knows. Maybe she could find something that might save his ass.

Thorn sighed deeply to calm himself down, then sat back down on the bench. He said, "Well, i was just out driving like I always do. And I was driving through a pedestrian area when suddenly a little girl came out of no where. I swerved, and I remember hitting something and it sent me flying! I landed on top of a car though, and I was wearing a helmet, so I was good. But I could have sworn I just hit the back of that car though! I thought I missed the girl! But I kind of passed out when I hit the car, so I don't really know what happened...."
