AN: I just had state testing done and I've just got very little time to relax,so i apologize for lack of updates. I am trying my hardest on this story. Those who have asked where John Gage is, you're about to find out, if you haven't guessed already. Everyone wanted to know where Johnny was so I thought I'd make this a short chapter and let you guys find out.

As they backed into the ambulance bay, Roy saw dixie and Doctor Brackett waiting for them. Once the ambulance had stopped, he immediately opened the door, revealing the patient and himself. Roy was very concerned that time may not be on there side. The boy was as pale as his skin would allow, and hot to the touch. He'd taken in what seemed to be a lot of smoke.

Unloading the patient, Roy walked along side Dixie as Doctor Brackett and the ambulance attendants took over the stretcher. The group walked as fast as their feet would take them down the crowded hallway.

As they closed the door to the treatment room, the boy started to regain consciousness.

"Easy there, you're alright" Doctor brackett said as he laid his hand on the boy's shoulder. He felt the boy tense up and saw the boy open his eyes . The heart monitor started racing.

"Woah, It's okay." He said as he took his hand off and made sure he wasn't going to scare the boy again. " I'm a doctor and I'm only here to help you." The heart monitor started to slow down, but not completely. The boy was still very scared.

The boy looked at him, then everyone else in the room. Everyone could see the tears that now started to peak down the boy's cheeks. Dixie came over with a tissue and gently wiped the boy's cheeks.

'Dixie gives the best care that's closest to a mother's care. This boy really needs some love right now. ' Roy frowned as he thought of the boy. He wanted the best for him.

"Hi there. " Dixie was looking at the boy calmly. She looked like she was about to tell a toddler they were going to Disneyland. " My name is Dixie. I'm a nurse. Do you know what a nurse is?"

The boy shook his head yes. He didn't seem to be too scared of Dixie. Everyone else in the room seem to give off a bad vibe to him.

"Now, you wait right here, okay?" She winked at the boy. " I'll be over there talking with the doctor. I wanna see if I can make you feel better. " She smiled, and turned to Dr. Brackett and Roy.

Walking over to them, she sighed. "Well, what do you think Kel?"

Kel leaned back on the wall, and made a half smile. He thought for a moment. " I think he's afraid. Of what, I'm not sure, but I know he's afraid. I think we all know he's afraid. Do we know where his parents are?"

"I saw the other squad bring out two adults , so I'm pretty sure that they are the parents"

"Okay, thanks Roy. Can you go see if they've been brought in yet, Roy?"

"Sure, Doc. " He gave a half smile and turned away. Before he walked out the door, he looked back at the boy. Knowing all he could do was wait, he walked out.

"Dixie, can you take his vitals again in 30 minutes, I'm going to go look for the parents as well. "

"Sure thing. I'll stay here with him until then." She smiled at him then the boy. " Right kiddo?"

The boy smiled and closed his eyes. Soon after, he faded into a deep sleep.


"Roy"

Roy jumped slightly and turned to see standing behind him.

"Oh hi Doc. "

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Did you find the parents?"

"No, I didn't. They must not have..."

Roy was interrupted by two stretchers being rushed through the ambulance bay doors. He recognized them immediately as being the adults at the scene.

" Arlight, treatment one. " Dr. Brackett pointed at the first adult. Then walked to the second. " Put him in treatment 4."

"Doc" Roy put a hand on Kel's shoulder, stopping him. " Those were the two adults from the scene. I'm pretty sure that they are the parents."

"Okay, thanks Roy." He smiled slightly, and took off .


Dixie looked the boy in the eyes. " Now, how about you tell me your name?"

He shook his head no.

"Please?"

He shook his head no, again.

"What if I take you to get some chocolate milk?"

He shook his head no.

"A piece of pizza and some juice ? I'll let you chose the flavor. " She blinked her eyes and gave him a puppy dog face.

"John.." He mumbled it so softly that she only saw his lips moving.

"Hmm? Say that again?"

"John."

"John. That's a nice name. What's your last name? "

"Gage..."

"Honey, I can't hear you if you speak so soft.." She made a sad face.

"Sorry.."

"It's okay, sweetie. Just speak louder. what did you say your last name was?"

"Gage."

"John Gage. Such a nice name for a handsome fella' like you." She smiled and ruffled his hair with her hand.

Knock Knock Knock. stepped in and waved for Dixie to come over to him.

"I'll be right back, i'm only going to talk to the doctor. Okay?"

John nodded his head. He was really tired still. He closed his eyes and turned his head. Slowly he fell asleep.

As Dixie walked over, she could see the sad look on 's face.

"Dix, the two adults that were brought in from the same house fire, were his parents. They didn't make it. I called the police department to confirm that the adults that lived at that address were his parents. "

Kel sighed and they both looked at the little boy who was sleeping on the table peacefully.

"So he has no parents..."

"The police department also said that there's no extended family . His parents and siblings were the only one's he had."

"He has no one..."

This brought tears to Dixie's eyes...
