Mc Ginty`s
Gary runs out the door of the loft and down the
stairs in a hurry. Stopping only long enough to grab
a handful of breakfast pastries off of the bar. He
then takes off out the door and heads down the street.
Marissa,Chuck,& Crumb are there early. And knowing
it isn`t the usual time for the paper to arrive, and
noticing Gary wasn`t carrying one they start to worry.
They`d been worrying about something like this
happening since they`d gotten him back home, after the
Lot Six experiment and the events following it.
Seeing how he`d flown out the door (and without even
noticing they were there) Chuck & Crumb decide to
follow him.
***********************************************************************
6:00 AM
Navy Pier
When they catch up to him at Navy Pier, they see him
looking the same as when the lake boiled. Gary
doesn`t notice them. He`s busy having a showdown with
a blob thing, that looks like something Steve McQueen
should be battling. Not Gary Hobson.
Chuck finds the front section of a "Sun Times" lying
on the sidewalk. Hoping for the best he picks it up
and discovers it to be tomorrows.
"Hey, Crumb?" Chuck asks.
"Yeah?" answers Crumb.
"Take a look at this."
They gaze at the headline which reads:
`BLOOD-THIRSTY BLOB DEVOURS THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO!`
The minute Chuck & Crumb finish reading the headline
the bolb explodes and splatters over the next two
blocks it`s pieces burnt to a crisp by the time they
reach the ground.
They see Gary turn to the lake to try and release his
power, but he drops to the pavement sweating
profoundly before he`s even given the chance.
Chuck & Crumb run to the fallen Gary, and find the
power building up inside of him. Pouring bottles of
water over Gary (Crumb bought it from a street vendor
who had it on ice.) to cool him down before the power
has a chance to catch him afire. They start trying to
get Gary to swallow some when they hear th voice of
Dr. Doug Ross calling to them.
He quickly examines a delirious Gary and helps them
get him back to McGinty`s and the loft. When they
reach McGinty`s they can still feel the waves of heat
being emitted from Gary.
***********************************************************************
7:30 AM
McGinty`s Loft
Patrick & Erica having already arrived and seen Henry
off to school follow Chuck, Crumb, Gary,& Dr. Ross up
to the loft and having been trailed up the stairs by
Marissa. They stop in the doorway to the loft to
observe the goings on with Carl the cat at their
heels.
Lying on the bed Gary is given a more thorough exam
by the doctor. Gary still delirious starts to moan
from deep within.
Dr. Ross starts to give them the diagnosis.
"He`s pretty much the same as he was last time, but
without the malnourishment. He`s cooling down a lot
faster than I would think he`d be. Which could only
mean he`s getting better at controling the power and
(looking at Crumb adds) that bottled water sure has
helped alot."
At that everyone flashes an appreciating smile at
Crumb, even Gary weak and delirious as he is shifts
slightly and seems to look at Crumb.
Crumb blushes for what seems the first time since the
gang has known him.
"But he`s still very hot at the time of the explosion
temperature could have been upwards of 700 degrees."
the doctor continues.
"He`ll need the ice-packs and cold compresses again
and also some cold towels. It would make all that
more beneficial if we could get him stripped down
some. Any of you care to help me out here?"
"Sure!" replies Erica, marissa, Patrick, Chuck,
&Crumb.
Erica & marissa heda down the kitchen to give Gary a
little privacy while he`s being undressed and to
prepare the ice-packs.
After helping the doctor get Gary in bed. Patrick
heads downstairs to get the ice-packs while Chuck and
Crumb start to get the towels and compresses ready.
After everything is ready. The doctor uses the ice,
towels, & compresses to 'pack 'Gary into bed. He also
gives Gary something to help him relax and gives the
gang instructions to call him in the morning. Chuck
decides to spend the night with Gary after the doctor
leaves.
