The family doctor had been called and arrived within twenty minutes.
He had requested for a clean room , the patient to be layed upon a bed on his back , clothes stripped and the wound to be made visible , though the bloody waterfall at his shoulder quickly confirmed that .
Dr.Klaus took the appropriate tools , and began the operation .

Assessing it , the wound was two centimetres wide in the front ; the bullet exiting through the back , the exit hole measuring four centimetres wide ." No wonder the poor lass had been bleeding profusely ", he thought .
Dr. Klaus filled long syringe with local anaesthetic , first cleaning the surroundings of the wound with an antiseptic solution of iodine. " You're going to feel a quick sting...and then nothing " , he said smiling , the sting of the needle is brief but sharp , followed by a numbing sensation.
Taking a scalpel , he quickly located the bullet however it was lodged deeply within the muscle , he gently , as much as possible , pride it from the tissues using retractors. The wound was flushed with a saline solution to prevent infection and any remaining debris is removed , the wound is then stitched with a sterile needle and surgical thread .
Analysing the bullet , which is found to be a 50 BMG , quite the big bullet still in its shell case . The snipers gun was probably rigged , because the case should've come off on impact the moment he fired . Dr. Klaus understood why the wound had hurt more as the case was plastic and pointed at the end meaning the entrance into the skin would've hurt more nerves as it's blunt , but the bullets accelerated speed would've helped in break the into the skin regardless .
After bandaging the shoulder , he informes the Louis to make sure the arm is kept in a sling , not touched by water and not to be strained in any way , leaving the room he goes to report to Mr.Pyro .
' Is it done ? ' , asked Pyro . ' It is.' said Dr.Klaus , ' He just need a bit of sleep and he should expect some muscle spasms time to time , the bullet was quite big and didn't blow it's case off . He should refrain from overworking his arm or rather not use it at all till it heals enough for movement ' , Dr.Klaus instructed .
' That's quite a pity , 50 BMG, still in its case , no wonder he was bleeding that much' he said thinking about it whilst gliding his toned hand over his goatee.
' Thank you for your services Mr. Klaus , our apologies for the haste request.' he says bowing down at his waist ' Not a problem at all Mr.Pyro ', he says ' Well , let me go my way ', he says leaving down the stairs accompanied by a maid .
Louis had been walking up and down the halls for the past two hours , his heartbeat high in anticipation, for the good news od Maddison's health . It was just a bullet to the shoulder , a soldiers standard wound on war , and yet Maddison was not a soldier , not a man scarred by war or trained under inhuman conditions, he was a city person used to indoor life , thus the concern he had for him.
Louis spotted his butler , Pyro approaching from the hallways , he waited patiently for Pyro to report Maddison's health status.
" The doctor says he's alive , just shouldn't strain his arm much " , " And the blood Pyro what about all the blood he lost . I-I-Is there a reason why or..." , Louis said stuttering in worry .
" Please calm down young master Louis, the bullet was just big and had made quite the brutal intrusion as it still had its shell " , said Pyro , rolling his own eyes at the worry displayed by Louis , it was no wonder the child was always shunned he displayed his weaknesses as if they were the sun , meant for all to see , a weakness he detested Louis for .
" Oh ! , that must've hurt , no wonder the size of his wound " , Louis replied , relief flooding through him , atleast his friend was clear . Pyro resisted the urge to retort , ' You wouldn't know the bloody difference between a stab wound and a gunshot wound ! ' . But alas he kept his mouth quite , knowing the boundaries and his place as a servant .
Louis dismissed Pyro with a careless wave, his hand making a sweeping motion as it dismissing dirt.
After the dismissal he walked up the second floor stairs to the third floor stairs to the sixth bedroom where Maddison rests. The scene he came upon calmed his erratic heart in an instant.
Maddison , sleeping peacefully, hugging his pillow, blissfully unaware of the heated gaze upon him . All that mattered was that Maddison was alright ; on the road to healing , meaning all that was left was...the case...the mere mention of it pushing his mind to a migraine.
Exhausted and spent from the days events, Louis unruly crashes onto the coach and closes his eyes , promising himself to deal with his father , the case and his nosy brothers , whose maids he noticed among the commotion spying for information to report to their masters .
So , willing himself to sleep he closes his eyes , catching the cruise to dreamland .
