Daehyun was the one to keep things calm as he grabbed Hyungwon's phone from Joshua's pocket, quickly texting Ryeowook. "If he dies Jaejoong is really going to get the death penalty," grumbled Jinyoung as they tried to move Joshua without jostling him and aggravating the the wound even more. Minhyuk ended up carrying him bridal style down the street to where Ryeowook would pick them up. "Stay with us Joshua!" Said Minhyuk.

Ryeowook pulled up to the curb with Siwon in the passenger seat. "Get him in the trunk," said Siwon as he rolled down the window. Vernon quickly translated and Minhyuk hurried to get to the trunk while Daehyun and Jinyoung ran to open the trunk. Daehyun hopped into the trunk, leaning down to take Joshua from Minhyuk and gently setting him down as the others climbed into the trunk. Vernon knocked on the window and Ryeowook made a quick u-turn being careful not to throw everyone in the trunk around and drove off back to the house.

"We can't take him to the hospital," Ryeowook said to Siwon. "None of us here are medics!" Said Siwon as Vernon and the others quickly got Joshua down from the truck with Minhyuk carrying him inside. "I know someone who is," said Vernon. "But we can't take him to the hospital," he said. "The best we can do right now is to stabilize him, and get a train ticket for my pack mate," he said. Siwon stared at Vernon before sighing and nodding. "Where is he?" He asked. "Seoul," said Vernon. "I'll text him now," he said.

Minhyuk put Joshua on the bed in their room that they were sharing and Jinyoung quickly worked to stabilize Joshua, ripping open his shirt and checking his wounds. "Can you see if they have a first aid kit?" He asked Minhyuk. Minhyuk nodded and ran to find out. "Anything I can do?" Asked Daehyun. "Get me a bowl of water and some towels, we need to clean this wound up," said Jinyoung. "It doesn't look like it's a through and through but we'll see when we flip him over," he said. "Hyung, he was shot from behind," said Daehyun. "Damn it," said Jinyoung. "Alright, we need to move him to his side," he said. "Help me out here," he said. Daehyun nodded and helped Jinyoung move Joshua onto his side.

"It looks like he's already healing," said Jinyoung as he checked his back side. "Go get some towels and let Vernon know that he's already healing," he said. Daehyun nodded and ran out of the room. Minhyuk came back with a first aid kit. "He's already healing," said Jinyoung. "But it's best we help him with the pain a little," he said. Minhyuk nodded and got what Jinyoung asked him to get and handed it to him. "I'll take care of him, just go and relax a bit," said Jinyoung. Minhyuk nodded and left the room.

Seungkwan hurried over with Ryeowook going to pick him up with Vernon. When they got back Jinyoung had stabilized Joshua as much as he could. Seungkwan went to check on Joshua to see what Jinyoung missed. "He's lucky it was a through and through," he mumbled. "I don't think any of us have knowledge on how to remove bullets," he said. "You did a good job Jinyoung," he said. "Thanks," said Jinyoung. "He's already healed, we just have to wait on him to wake up," he said. Seungkwan nodded. "We wait then," he said.

Joshua woke with a gasp, sitting up and looking down at his stomach. He then looked around, wondering where he was. The last thing he remembered was getting shot in the back but that was it. He looked up, seeing his wolf there. "Hey you," he said, standing and walking up to it. "Came to say goodbye?" He asked as he pet it. The wolf whined, causing Joshua to sigh. "I'm going to miss you," said Joshua. "Say hi to Hyungwon for me," he mumbled as he watched the wolf fade from his mind.

Joshua heard voices around him but he couldn't make out who was speaking, but he could hear things. "He doesn't smell all wolf-y anymore," said Daehyun. "That means his wolf is gone," said Seungkwan. "Will you still accept him as a member of your pack even if he's just a regular shape shifter now?" Asked Minhyuk. "Of course," said Vernon. "I don't see why we wouldn't," he said. "He's been with Sungcheol for so long that it'd be stupid for us to just kick him out," he said.

"I don't know what you are saying but I hope that whatever it is it involves Joshua still being in your pack," came Siwon's voice as he entered the room. "That's what they were discussing," said Ryeowook as he entered the room. "You need to learn English," Vernon said to Siwon who shrugs. "Maybe if I go to America I will," said Siwon.

Joshua stirred, opening his eyes. "Ya'll are loud you know that?" He grumbled, rubbing his eyes. "You're awake!" Yelled Minhyuk as he tackled Joshua. "Ow ow, careful," said Joshua. "Sorry," said Minhyuk as he moved away. "How are you feeling?" Asked Seungkwan. "As best as I can be after my wolf left me," mumbled Joshua. "But physically I feel fine," he said. "How's your stomach and back feeling?" Asked Seungkwan. "Fine," said Joshua. "I still hurt a little but," he said, shrugging.

"We'll head home in the next few days," said Vernon. "We'll see after you rest up a bit more," he said. Joshua nodded. "Hungry?" Asked Ryeowook. "Sure," said Joshua as he tried to sit up. Minhyuk helped him sit up and propped him up with some pillows. "I can't exactly walk yet, but yeah I'm hungry," said Joshua. "No worries," said Ryeowook as he left to go get something for him to eat. Everyone left Minhyuk and Joshua alone so they could reconcile.

"I'm glad you're back," mumbled Minhyuk. "You had me so worried," he said, sighing. "I can heal pretty quickly, even before I was turned," said Joshua. "I'm going to miss my wolf," he said, sighing. "It was the last thing Hyungwon gave me before he left," he said. "We need to stay strong for him," said Minhyuk. "I know," said Joshua as he scratched the back of his head.
