I thought there should be more Jacob Stone whump. Cause I'm crazy like that! ;)
Stone fell to his knees, clutching his head in pain just as the Ezekiel, Cassie and Baird moved forward.
Hot, White hot pain shot through his head. He screwed his eyes shut, seeing only redness, and then a flood of images. A jungled mess.
"Ah, I never thought I'd be happy to see the Annex" said Jones, as he flipped a souvenier he collected from the last mission.
Cassie sat down looking very tired, and Baird was panting.
"and Where is Mr. Stone?" asked Jenkins.
"He was right behiā¦or maybe not" said Baird and on instinct ran back through the door, and saw Stone on the floor, in intense pain. She had no time to process what was wrong with him, with a little tug and pull brought him through the portal as it closed behind them.
Ezekiel put his phone down and frowned confused at the sight infront of him. Stone was pale, clutching his head, eyes screwed shut in pain. To Jones, Jacob was like an older brother, a strong fortress, a stone wall and to see him wringed in pain, was a shock to him. "He was fine?!" it was a question and a statement at the same time.
Jenkins helped Baird carry Jacob to the rooms and gently laid him down. Stone was still in intense pain. As they laid him down, he opened his eyes suddenly, and spoke a phrase, and he went into a spasm and went limp. Baird was shocked, but managed to gain her composure and checked for a pulse. It was there but erractic. "Stone, hey Stone, wake up" she patted his face lightly.
"Jenkins." was all Eve could say as she looked wide-eyed at the blood that was falling freely from Stone's nose. She turned him to his side, so that he will not choke on his own blood.
Jenkins handed her some tissues and went to fetch some water, ointments and towels. As he came back he whispered softly out loud, "What happened Mr. Stone?".
