A/N: Oh my god guys I'm finally BACK! It's been SOOOOO hectic for a while now I am SO SORRY. I've been swamped with school and soccer games and practice for soccer games and training and I have a solo in a performance tomorrow morning and ugh. I'm currently sick and off of school today so I'm finally getting around to writing, not sure what the length on this will be I haven't written it yet! Well….enjoy I guess.
Willa POV:
My head shot up when I heard the name. Of course he would end up working in a hospital, it was perfect for him. All the medicine and the science and the...the geniuses.
How had he not recognized Finn? The blonde hair didn't make him look too different, and they had taken the scarf off of him thank god. How come he didn't remember?
Maybe it's the same reason he has a girlfriend. The voice in my head told me, the voice that was my own. I scowled, remembering, then tried to perk up, knowing Finn and Maybeck would catch my glare.
"Are you sure?" Maybeck asked standing up. "Because if we are going after this theory we have to be absolutely certain." I rushed over to Maybeck, making him sit back down. He was going to hurt himself.
"Yes, yes, I'm sure!" Finn said quickly, I didn't quite believe him, but I knew he wouldn't leave without finding out for sure. We couldn't risk not knowing, not right now.
"Ok, fine." Maybeck said finally, relaxing, coming to the same conclusion I had.
Finn shot up, he wore the same thing as Maybeck, and hurried to the door. He seemed perfectly fine. I walked over to Maybeck and pulled him up, putting his arm around my shoulder to support him. We followed Finn out the door and down the hall. Based on his reasoning, the doctor and his assistant couldn't be far.
Maybeck POV:
I felt as though I was crushing Willa. I could barely stand, she was basically dragging me through the halls. She never complained, though, never said a word. Her mind was obviously somewhere else. Finn was a few paces ahead of us, so I questioned her.
"What's bothering you?"
"Nothing." She answered quickly and sternly, not leaving any room for discussion on the matter. We were about to, possibly, see Philby. That should make her happy. What the hell happened in that airport?
We went down two flights, then up three more flights. It became clear Finn had no idea where he was going.
Finally, we turned a corner and Finn pointed down the hall. Standing there, looking at a bulletin board, was a kid, a little shorter than me, with messy dark hair. He wore a lab coat and had a few pens neatly placed in his shirt pocket. I couldn't see his face, but it sure seemed like Philby. It was about time, too. I was almost about to collapse on the floor, and I probably would've brought Willa down with me.
Finn ran over to the person, Willa and I hobbled along behind him. I felt so useless, I hated it.
"Philby!" Finn shouted as he got close, putting a hand on the boy's shoulder. He turned to face us.
The guy had glasses on, huge, nerdy glasses, but there was no denying the face. It was 100% Philby.
Philby looked very confused when he saw all of us. He raised an eyebrow and gently brushed Finn's hand off his shoulder.
"Can I help you, Mr. Simmons?" He asked. That was weird, he sounded…American. "And my name isn't Philby, it's Chase." Philby rolled his eyes at Finn and turned back to the board. It didn't make any sense. Didn't he recognize us? Any of us?
Philby's head suddenly shot up. He set his gaze straight on Willa. She moved awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable. Well, he recognized someone.
"You." Philby pointed at Willa, taking something out of his pocket, a phone, starting to dial. He looked scared. What was happening?
Then I saw it, the poster on the bulletin board. It was a warning sign. It said to look out for an escaped mental patient from Maine, then there was a picture, Willa's picture.
Mental patient? When we got Philb-o out of here, Willa had some serious explaining to do.
Finn grabbed the phone out of Philby's hand. "No need for that!" And then the device was tossed backwards down the hall. "We just want to talk to you…"
Finn POV:
Philby, Chase, whatever, had agreed to talk to us outside, around the back of the hospital.
"So you're saying you don't recognize us at all?" Maybeck asked, both eyebrows raised high on his forehead.
"I have never met any of you ever before." He looked at Willa. "And you're lucky I don't call the cops."
After a while more of just arguing back and forth about whether or not he knew us, someone opened the back entrance and came out.
"Chase" It was the doctor who treated my head wound. "You're needed."
"Sorry guys I gotta go, Mr. Simmons you should probably go back to your room and rest, we'll test you for brain damage."
Well that was insulting.
The doctor looked us over, and I noticed: green eyes. Bright green eyes. He was standing in the doorway, I went over and closed the door on him quickly, standing in front of it to block him coming back out. It wasn't easy, this guy was not small and kept ramming against the door.
Philby looked panicked, Maybeck walked over to him.
"Sorry Philb." He said before punching him in the face. Hard. Philby was knocked out before he hit the ground. Maybeck cried out. "Good lord that hurt!"
"What the hell was that for?" Willa was suddenly involved in the conversations.
"Easier to get him to come with us this way!"
I looked back through the door, the man was gone, but a herd of hospital security guards were rushing to the door. "Guys we have to go NOW!"
"Well what do we do?" Willa shouted.
I went over and picked up Philby, draping him over my shoulder. I looked around, my eyes setting on a group of vehicles by the front lot.
Willa followed my gaze and sighed. "We're going to steal an ambulance, aren't we?"
I breathed out. "Yup."
A/N: Okay guy HOPEFULLY more to come actually SOON this time! I have no clue how to introduce other characters so any suggestions would be very appreciated. Also, very IMPORTANT! : This morning I wrote the first chapter to a Hunger Games fic called The First Rebellion it does not star the Hunger Games characters but I've been working with this idea for a while so if you like the Hunger Games check it out please?
