"How is he today?" Kay asked in a whisper, as she came into Cameron's hospital room.
"Good, he's still a little dehydrated, and still a bit groggy from the concussion, but his doctors are optimistic," Dina told Kay, looking up from her magazine. Mike was sleeping awkwardly, in a chair beside her.
Kay walked over to Cameron's side, she looked down at him, and she smiled, relief filling her heart at seeing him, at knowing that he was safe. She reached down, and gently ran her fingers through his light brown hair.
…
Elaina had been taken into custody by the FBI shorty after Cameron had been rescued, and she had given up the evidence to clear Johnny.
Johnny was now sitting in the visitors room, waiting to see Elaina, one thing still remained between them, the map.
The guard brought Elaina in, she sat down in the chair, across from Johnny.
"They told me that Cameron is going to be okay, I'm so glad, Johnny," she said, reaching across the table to hold his hand.
Jonathan jerked his hand away, he simply looked at her.
Finally, he let out a deep sigh, and reached inside his leather jacket.
"Here," Jonathan said, tossing the rolled up map on the table.
Elaina snatched it, and began smoothing it out in front of her.
"Wait, what...what's this?" Elaina suddenly asked, looking up at Johnny.
Jonathan just smiled, as he got up and walked over to the door, and called for the guard.
But right before the guard opened the door, Jonathan turned around to Elaina and tossed her the coin, she caught it, and a smile grew on her face as she watched Johnny leave.
~That night at the Archive, Jonathan had placed the real map behind a loose brick in Cameron's bedroom~
…
Cameron's eyes fluttered open, and he looked up at Kay, his blue eyes twinkling.
"Kay," he breathed out her name, and reached up to hold her hand.
Suddenly, his smile faded, and his eyes lost their sparkle.
Then an alarm started blaring, as Cameron fell back into his pillow.
Still holding Cameron's hand, Kay tried to get him to focus on her.
"Cameron, Cam, it's okay, we're here," Kay said, as Cameron began to seize.
Jonathan was walking down the hallway of the hospital, when he saw a few doctors and nurses rush into Cameron's room. A few minutes later, Cameron was wheeled out.
Fear gripped Jonathan, and he ran the rest of the way down the hallway and tore into Cameron's room.
"What happened?"
…
After what seemed like an eternity to Jonathan, Cameron was back in his room, he was sleeping, but the nurse was coming in every few hours to check on him. She had also told Jonathan that if Cameron woke up on his own, to try to get him to talk, and look for any signs of slurred speech.
Jordan had brought Cameron a deck of cards, for when he was feeling better, and Jonathan was now absentmindedly throwing them against the wall.
Jonathan had just thrown the last card, when a small whimper came from the bed, and he looked up to see Cameron opening his eyes and struggling to focus.
Cameron looked around, and finally his gaze met Johnny's.
"Hey," Johnny whispered, moving closer to Cameron's side, "You really scared us for a minute there."
Cameron's eyes were searching the room.
"Where's Kay?"
"Dina took her back to the Archive to get some rest, I promised to call them when you woke up," Jonathan told his brother.
Right then, a nurse came in, her name was Kristin, and she smiled when she saw that Cameron was awake.
Jonathan told Kristin that he needed to call his friends, and asked her if she could stay with Cameron for a few minutes while he went out in the hall.
"Oh, Johnny, that's fantastic news," Dina exclaimed.
Kay, who had been sleeping on the couch, was at Dina's side, anxiously awaiting her conversation with Jonathan to end.
"Well…?" Kay asked, when Dina put her phone down on the table.
"He's fine, he's awake, Jonathan had to go though because Cameron's doctor was there, he said that he'll probably stay with Cam tonight and that Cam was asking where you were, Kay," Dina said, telling Kay what Johnny had told her.
Kay smiled, and her heart skipped a beat.
…
"Cameron, please be careful," Dina fussed, as Cameron, using his crutches, attempted to make his way to the couch.
"I told you, Dina, I'm fine, I'm really getting the hang of these things," Cameron told her.
"Ha," Jonathan laughed, as he came up and supported Cameron the rest of the way to the couch, "Is that why you fell twice yesterday and I had to take you back to the hospital." When Jonathan had gotten Cameron settled comfortably on the couch, he went back to his bedroom to get the deck of cards.
"What, why...why didn't you tell me, that's it, I'm getting the wheelchair," Dina said.
"Dina...Din...I don't need…" Cameron tried, but Dina was already gone.
"You're in trouble," Jonathan chuckled, shuffering the cards in his hands.
"Yeah, well, no thanks to you, and just wait until Dina tells Kay, she'll stap me to that wheelchair," Cameron whined, as he began arranging the cards on the table.
"Sorry," Jonathan said, although the huge cheshire cat grin on his face said otherwise.
"No you're not," Cameron shot back, smiling himself.
"Hey, Cam, you know, I've been thinking, when you're feeling better, we should take a trip," Jonathan said, looking up at Cameron.
"A trip, sure, where were you thinking?" Cameron asked, that actually sounded fun.
"Wherever this takes us," Jonathan said, holding up the map for his brother to see.
(A few weeks later)
Jonathan and Cameron were standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, both of them smiling back at Dina, as she looked at the postcard that the brothers had sent her. There was no return address. She flipped the card over, it read,
Hey Dina, tell Kay that Cam is doing fine, I'm watching him like a hawk, he hates it, but I'm not letting him out of my sight. The map has taken us across the world and back again, I'll have to tell you when we get home about Cam getting chased by an angry parrot. Hey, we caught a show last night with these 4 illusionists, Cam thinks you guys might have crossed paths with them a year or so ago, they call themselves, The Four Horseman.
Dina went over to Jordan's laptop, which was sitting open on the kitchen table, and looked up The Four Horseman.
She frowned, flipping the card back over and looking at the picture again, just as Jordan walked in.
"So, Johnny and Cam are in Paris," he commented, looking over Dina's shoulder at the picture.
"No, they're in Las Vegas," she said, handing Jordan the card.
~Author's Note~
Okay, so this is the last chapter, and I think it wraps things up quite nicely, and perhaps opens the door for another adventure, I don't really know, I'll have to see if an idea comes to me. I really had fun writing this, I just love Deception and I really wish ABC would bring it back. Anyways, thanks again for reading!
