Author's Note: I'm so happy I have free time today. 2 chapters done in 1 day. I feel great. Anyway, here is more of it. I am so sorry if at any time, there is anything inaccurate about Hiro's (or anybody's) medical state. I plan to be an artist, not a doctor. This is a long chapter and probably very emotional.
Chapter 2: Finding out
Tadashi's POV:
I am so relieved that I made it out of the building with Professor Callaghan, who is still unconscious. I don't see anybody with medical experience, so I decide to take Callaghan to Baymax. I make my way to the science lab. "Ow" I say partially just to activate Baymax, but also because my muscles hurt from carrying Professor Callaghan all the way here.
His little case opened up and Baymax inflated. "I am Baymax, your personal healthcare assistant…" he started before I cut him off.
"Baymax. Callaghan's hurt. Can you scan and treat him?"
"Sure thing, Tadashi." he said before scanning Professor Callaghan. "Scan complete." It appears that Robert Callaghan has no permanent injuries, but he is unconscious and his lungs have high levels of smoke. I recommend getting him to a hospital as soon as possible."
"Okay, Baymax." I say before taking out my phone. I call 9-1-1. (Note: "-"s are what the person on the other side of the phone said.) "Hello? - There is someone in need of medical assistance. - His name is Professor Robert Callaghan. He was inside the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology's Showcase Hall and it was on fire. I went in to try to find him and I found him unconscious. I was able to rescue him, but the building exploded. We were far away enough to not have damage. - You'll be here soon? That's great. He will be with my robotics project, Baymax. Baymax is big, white, huggable, full of medical knowledge, and about the size of a really tall person. Thanks again." I said before hanging up.
"Baymax, please stay with Professor Callaghan until the paramedics arrive. I need to find Hiro. If he wakes up, please give him this note." I said as I finished quickly writing a note explain to him what happened. Then I ran back to the showcase hall, or the remains of it.
"Hiro?" I call out. "Hiro?" I say again. There is a huge crowd near the hall. I make my way through the crowd to see what happened. I can't believe it. There is a huge crowd gathered around an unconscious boy, about 14 years old. He was too familiar for comfort. My younger brother, Hiro Hamada is unconscious and might not even be alive. Paramedics are trying to get him conscious again.
"There's no pulse." One medic says to another. Those three words drained all the life out of me. They pull out some defibrillators. "Clear." the first medic says before using the defibrillators on my brother. "There is a heartbeat." The medic says after a few tries. I let out a small sigh of relief.
"Excuse me? What happened?" I say asking the paramedic.
"This boy sustained injuries from trying to run into the building. He was unconscious. We nearly lost him. We need to get him to the hospital immediately. Do you happen to know a way to contact any of his family?" She says.
"He's my brother." I say.
They allowed me to ride in the hospital with him. I had quickly called/texted Aunt Cass, Honey Lemon, Gogo, Wasabi, and Fred. I also contacted Baymax. By the time we arrived, Baymax was already there with Callaghan. I sat in that waiting room for what felt like forever waiting to hear anything about Hiro or Callaghan.
"Tadashi Hamada?" a nurse asks. I go over to her. "Yes?" I ask "Were you the one who had called about Robert Callaghan?" I nod my head. "Luckily, he didn't sustain too much damage. He should be awake soon." I go back to waiting in the waiting room. After a few more minutes, Aunt Cass, Gogo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred arrived.
"Tadashi! Are you hurt?" Aunt Cass said before she hugged me.
"I'm fine, Aunt Cass. But Hiro might not be." It looked like her heart had shattered into a million pieces. "He had no pulse for a few minutes at the showcase hall" We all wait and wait.
-About 1 hour later-
"How long will it be until we find out anything?" Fred asks "I'm so bored." He continues…
"Do you guys want to play cards? It might kill time and keep our minds off of what happened." Honey Lemon suggests. We all nodded our heads. "What game?" She asks. There were so many suggestions such as Black Jack (from Gogo), Go Fish (from Honey Lemon), and crazy 8's (Aunt Cass), but we eventually agreed on playing BS.
-Another half hour later-
"uh…ummm….Two queens." Honey Lemon had said before putting down two cards.
"BS, Honey Lemon." Gogo had said. Honey Lemon just silently took the whole pile and started sorting her huge hand of cards. "Four kings" Gogo had said before putting down her cards. We all looked at Gogo and knew she wasn't lying.
"Three aces" Wasabi said as he put down his cards. "Popcorn" Gogo said. "I put down 5 cards." she continued. Wasabi then put aside his three aces and counted her cards. "How did you do that?" he asked. "I'm just good at cards." she said before continuing to chew her gum. We continued our game.
-Another hour later-
"Tadashi Hamada?" a nurse asked. I went over "Robert Callaghan is now awake. We would like to keep him overnight to make sure everything's alright, but you and your friends are free to visit him if you want." I nod my head.
My friend's and I start to walk to Callaghan's room. Aunt Cass decided to stay behind just in case there is an update about Hiro.
Hiro's POV:
Everything is black. I can't believe Tadashi is gone. Why did it have to happen?
Callaghan's POV:
Beep…Beep…Beep…..I hear. It's the sound of an EKG. A few people enter the room. Students of mine.
"Hey Professor." They all say. "Are you okay?" Honey Lemon asked. I nodded my head slightly.
"We were afraid we lost you in the showcase hall. If I hadn't run in there, I don't know what would've happened to you…" Tadashi had started
"Tadashi. You ran in to try to save me?" I asked. He nodded his head "I can't thank you enough. I owe you my life." I say "Did you get hurt?"
"I don't think so." Tadashi said.
We chatted and played cards for a couple hours until a nurse said that I needed rest and ushered Tadashi, Honey Lemon, Fred, Gogo and Wasabi out of the room.
Aunt Cass's POV:
I took a donut out of my bag and started eating it. Stress eating, but it is so good. Still no update about Hiro. Tadashi and his friends returned to the waiting room. "Still nothing about Hiro." I said. They were disappointed about that. We all sat and waited.
-3 more hours later-
"I have to still run the café tomorrow. I think I'm going to go home. Call me if you get an update about Hiro." I say to Tadashi and his friends. They all said goodnight and I drove home
-2 more hours-
Tadashi's POV:
"Tadashi Hamada?" The same nurse asked again. My friends and I all ran over to the nurse's station to see what she was going to say…
Author's Note: Cliffhanger. Sorry, but not entirely. I'll try to update ASAP.
