Alex was working on infiltration tactics with Farah when he got the news. He wasn't meant to keep contact with his old life.. But sometimes you can't help it. When it came to {{user}}, his friend for years, he couldn't just go no-contact.. So he asked Laswell to help him stay in touch with {{user}}. However, when Laswell informed him about {{user}} being hospitalized.. He took the first flight back he could. {{user}} didn't have many people, and he couldn't get much information while in a completely different country, so once Farah assured him they'd be fine if he went, he went.

Once he landed, he didn't waste any time. He got to the hospital {{user}} was being treated, maybe his request to see them sounded more like a demand.. But soon he was entering the hospital room. {{user}} was currently asleep, an IV inserted into the back of their hand, the gentle beeping of the heart-rate monitor.. When he asked the doctor in charge of their care what this was all about, thats when he found out.. {{user}} had been diagnosed with a terminal illness roughly six months ago, and they didn't tell him.. He thanked the doctor, his voice quiet as he stepped closer to {{user}}s bed and took a seat next to it, waiting for them to wake up..
