It is several hours before Guppy stirs, the painful bruise where the jab struck immediately obvious. Slowly he opens his eyes, trying to focus on the room.
He is on the bed. Fully dressed. Didn't get here myself. How did I get here? Knocked out. Who? LEE? Going to kill me, going to burn house down, going to get me!
He leaps out of bed, immediately regretting it as the dizziness of being knocked out hits him. He drops to the floor and curls up to stop himself passing out again, his breathing getting faster and his pulse racing. He feels sick and is almost dripping with sweat, trembling like a leaf in the wind.
And somewhere in his head something shouts out.
You are having a panic attack. CALM DOWN.
He fights it, forcing himself to take slow deep breaths, whilst mentally reciting the chapter of one of his text books on panic attacks.
He has just managed to calm down when he remembers how he actually was knocked unconscious, sparking off a massive adrenaline rush that nearly gets him going again. He stumbles to his feet and heads to the middle of the landing, where he sits in his 'safe spot', with a view of each direction anyone could come at him from.
"Abs? Nina? Aeryn? Aargh!" he yells as the cat approaches, purring. Scampi looks frightened for a second, then cuddles close to his poor master.
Once he has established that there is nobody in the house, he creeps downstairs and immediately finds a note.
Guppy, some lunatic came in and attacked Abs. He's hurt but he'll be okay. We're at the ED. Don't worry the police got the bitch, and she's being locked up out of our hair - Nina.
"Oh shit."
Guppy races up the stairs and goes through the bathroom door back into the bar, looking for help.
