Chapter 4

Patricia knocks on Victor's office door. She turns around and gives a thumbs up to Fabian, Amber, and Alfie who are standing by the staircase.

Victor opens the door and sighs when he sees Patricia. "What do you want, Williamson?"

Patricia laughs and crosses her arms over her chest. "Well, we're doing this project for school, and we need to read a book called The Consequences of Destiny and write a report on it. I checked out the book, and I started reading it. You see, I'm on Chapter 10, but it's missing. You were the last one to check the book out, so I was wondering if you had it or if you could tell me what it said. Will you?"

Victor glares at Patricia. "I don't have it, and I'm certainly not going to tell you, Williamson." He slams the door in Patricia's face.

Patricia scoffs and kicks the door. "Thanks for your consideration!" She walks over to the anxious teens by the staircase and sighs. "He didn't tell me anything! Maybe Eddie can get to crack tomorrow."

LINEBREAK

Trudy walks into Nina's room with a bag from the local pharmacy. She sees Nina sleeping, and Eddie staring at her from across the room. She walks over to Eddie and puts a hand on his shoulder. "Sorry it took me so long. There was a lot of traffic. Anyway, the medicine I got is to bring down her fever, and to help with any pain, so she can walk properly again."

Eddie takes the bag from Trudy and smiles weakly at her. "Thanks, Trudes. You're the best."

Trudy hugs Eddie. "You're welcome, dearie. If you need anything, call me. I'll be there in a flash."

"Trudy!" Eddie exclaims before Trudy walks out of the room. "Can I sleep in here with Nina and Amber tonight? I want to make sure Nina will be okay."

Trudy sighs and bites her lip. "Eddie, Victor won't like it one bit, but I'll see if I can convince him."

Eddie grins. "You're amazing, Trudy."

"Remember, call me if you need anything," Trudy says as she walks out of the room.

Eddie walks over to Nina and gently shakes her. "Nina, wake up. You have to take your medicine."

Nina grabs Eddie's shirt collar in her sleep and pulls him down onto her bed.

Eddie tries to loosen Nina's grip on him and get up. "Whoa, Nina."

Nina mumbles something about Senkhara and pushes Eddie off of the bed with a kick in the ribs.

Eddie falls on the floor and rubs his side. "Shit!"

Nina suddenly wakes up and sees Eddie in the floor. She laughs. "What are you doing in the floor, Eddie?"

Eddie stands up and rubs his side again. He pokes himself and confirms that Nina broke a rib or two. "Well, I tried to wake you up, but you grabbed my shirt collar and pulled me onto the bed. Then, you mumbled something about Senkhara, kicked me in the side, and knocked me off of the bed. You also broke a few of my ribs."

Nina's eyes widen. "Eddie, I'm so sorry! I was having a bad dream about Senkhara, and I didn't know what I was doing!"

Eddie laughs and hands Nina her medicine. "It's fine. Broken ribs aren't a big deal. They'll heal by themselves in a few days."

Suddenly, the door opens and Patricia walks right into the room, followed by Alfie, Fabian, and Patricia. "Victor didn't tell me a damn thing! I asked him and he glared at me and slammed the door in my face!"

Eddie sighs. "I have to make dad crack tomorrow. That's our only hope."
