Chapter 2
Cal jumped when he heard a scream adding his own Curse to the piercing noise as the hot water from the cup spilled over his hand he grabbed a tea towel and wet it with cold wrapping it around his injured arm and ran to the living room where he spotted a soaking wet Robyn trying to calm down Ethan who was hysterical and backing away from her
Cal looked at Robyn who shrugged her shoulders but backed away letting Ethan see Cal Ethan instantly calmed and ran to Cal giving Robyn a wide berth he tripped over the table Cal caught him and Ethan flung himself on him sobbing Cal wrapped his uninjured arm around Ethan and lowered them both to the sofa where Ethan buried himself into Cal's side whispering to him
Cal pulled back and place a hand gently under Ethan's chin raised his head so he could look in his eye not that they would focus a lot "Slow down buddy, what are you saying?"
Ethan peeked at Robyn and paled before answering "ttthey ssent her to get me"
Cal looked confused "sent who Ethan this is Robyn, you know Robyn"
Ethan shook his head "no, no, no, ttthats the red headed dwarf"
Robyn burst out laughing and Cal struggled to control his laughter but knew laughing would unsettle and unbalanced Ethan
"Ethan no one here is going to hurt you, you trust me right"
Ethan nodded into Cal's shoulder before saying
"Can you make the red headed dwarf leave?"
Knowing he couldn't hold hid laughter for much longer he nodded "will you be ok here while I go speak to her"
Ethan nodded eyes wide but Cal could see the tiredness in then he gave Ethan a quick hug before laying him down and covering him with the blanket he nodded for Robyn to go through to the kitchen and followed her
Once there Robyn took a seat while Cal run his injured hand under the tap before getting burn cream and gauze from their thankfully well stocked first aid kit. Once his hand was wrapped he took a seat and began to speak
"Ok will you please tell me the story from the beginning, and do we know what she has drugged him with"
Robyn nodded answering "yes and no"
After Robyn was finished telling the story and Cal had checked on Ethan and was satisfied that other than a temperature, he was stable at the moment
Robyn frightened him when she spoke behind him
"What do you think she gave him?"
Cal shrugged "I don't know but he is going to have one hell of a come down off it, and please Robyn don't mention the whole dwarf, or the crying thing to him or anything else"
Robyn made a cross over her heart "promise, right well I think I'll be more of a hindrance than help here so I'll go, will you be ok"
Cal nodded "yeah, I got him, could you let Dr Hanna know that we both won't be in for tomorrows shift"
Robyn nodded and gave Cal a quick hug before leaving
Cal spent the time Ethan was sleeping to sort some things out, he got the duvet and pillows from Ethan's bed and placed them by the couch, he got his duvet and placed that over the chair he placed a good supply of water and chocolate on the table and got a bowl, he dry swallowed 2 pain killers for his hand then sat in the chair waiting for whatever Ethan needed when he woke up.
He didn't need to wait long Ethan awoke after Cal had been waiting just 5 minutes Cal comforted himself with the fact Ethan looked more lucid when he woke that comfort lasted 2 seconds as he watched Ethan turn grey and start gagging, Cal quickly placed the bowl under Ethan as his body tried to repel the drug Cal sat by the side of him a comforting hand on his back.
When he had finished Ethan looked at Cal, though he was a little more lucid he didn't have compete control of his emotions and he spoke in a small voice as tears filled his eyes
"Cal I'm scared"
Cal's heart melted as thought about a young Ethan standing at the foot of his bed as thunder roared outside saying those exact words
Cal pulled Ethan to him soothing him "can you tell me what you're scared of"
Ethan burrowed into Cal and sniffed "I don't know I just feel really confused and everything aches"
Cal pulled back a little "Ethan do you know what happened to you"
He could see Ethan thinking and game him time to get his jumbled thoughts together while still rubbing comforting circles on his back
Ethan sniffed again answering him "I was at the hospital and Bonnie was there and Clyde was dead and Bonnie told me she did, and then I remember you coming to get me"
Cal nodded "that's good Ethan she drugged you, we don't know what with so I'm afraid you're going to be a feeling a little out of it for a while yet but you are definitely more lucid than you were 30 minutes ago, just don't try and sort through your jumbled thoughts too much it'll come to you on its own ok"
Ethan hated that he had tears running down his face and that he felt he needed to be close to Cal but he couldn't help it he sniffed again and frowned as he noticed Cal's hand
Cal laughed "it's nothing just had a little run in with the Red haired dwarf" at Ethan's confused look he shook his head "don't worry about Ethan it's nothing I promise, right we need to get some fluids in you and maybe some small bits of chocolate the drugs are probably affecting your blood/sugar levels and we need to keep you hydrated, once you have had them you can go back to sleep ok"
Ethan nodded speaking quietly "will you stay with me while I sleep"
Cal smiled and nodded 10 minutes later and Cal had made Ethan a makeshift bed out of his pillows and duvet on the sofa and he had him settled, Ethan turned on his side and watched Cal as he tidied up washing out the bowl and placing it back beside him he then sat in the chair and put the tv on low he could see Ethan looking at him
"Go to sleep Eth, I'm not going anywhere"
Ethan swung his arm out and Cal held tight to the offered hand giving it 3 squeezes he smiled when he heard the "I love you too Cal" before Ethan's breathing evened out in sleep
Cal gently covered Ethan with the blanket and turned the TV off he figured he should get some sleep while Ethan did as he had a feeling this was going to be a very long night
If only he knew just how long it was going to be.
So hope you enjoyed and you've probably guessed but there will be a 3rd chapter.
