Thank you to the guest for the prompt: Briggs, Johnny and Mike head out surfing, something bad happens to Mike but he hides it from the house but they catch on later.
'Mike.. MIKE.' Mike startled awake. He can hear Brigg's voice getting louder and threw his face down on the pillow.
There was a small knock on the door.
'GO AWAY.' Mike yelled threw the pillow. He didn't feel like getting out of bed this morning. He had a late night working on a case and he was still tired.
'Hey Mike me and Johnny are going surfing and you are coming with us.' Briggs threw Mike's swimsuit at him and left the room. Mike got out of bed slowly and made his way into the bathroom.
'Is he coming?' Johnny asked as Briggs came down the stairs.
'Yes he is.' #
'Surfs gonna be good this morning. I've seen the waves and they are bigger than the house.' Johnny got a little too enthusiastic. He was excited. It's been a long time since the three of them went surfing together.
Mike made his way downstairs slowly, still yawning and rubbing his face.
'Here comes sleeping beauty. Took your time?' Briggs smiled at Mike and walked out the house. Mike was serious about staying in bed and wasn't happy with Briggs for waking him up at 8am to go surfing.
The three men ran into the waves and jumped on their boards. They floated there for a while having a conversation about what the girls were doing today. Charlie and Paige had gone grocery shopping early to avoid traffic and then they are going clothes shopping.
'It's been a long time for you Mikey. You ready to kill some waves?'
'Sure.' Mike sighed and then smiled.
'I see a good one coming, we better prepare ourselves. We don't want anyone drowning or getting slammed into the pier.' Mike swam away.
The boys were killing the waves. Mike was getting better; he is able to actually stand up on the board for at least 5 minutes.
Briggs and Johnny decided to sit on the beach for a little while to catch their breath. Mike decided to just float on his board and look out to the ocean. He was deep in thought when he noticed a giant wave heading towards him.
Within a second Mike was taken under by the wave. He found him thrown to the bottom, luckily he wasn't too deep. Mike could swim but he was struggling to swim to the top. After 5 minutes of swallowing a lot of seawater Mike managed to get his head out of the water. He was too weak to swim back to the shore but he had to get our of the water and find the others.
Mike couldn't find Briggs and Johnny on the beach anywhere; whether that was because he was dizzy and couldn't see straight or they had made their way back to the house.
Mike collapsed onto the sand and started to cough up the seawater. There was a lot of it. He sat their for about 20 minutes trying to get his breathing back to normal and until the dizziness would go.
Before heading back to the house he noticed his board sitting on the shore. Johnny would kill him if he had lost the surfboard. He grabbed the board and slowly walked back to the house.
Back at Graceland the rest of the house were sitting in the kitchen laughing and drinking coffee.
'Hey Mike. You've been gone for a while, you must of had some good waves to stay out there?' Johnny had a big smile on his face when he saw Mike soaking and a little red in the face.
'Yeah, they were good.' Mike's voice was hoarse and then he started coughing. Charlie got up and ran to Mike. She noticed he was swaying a little and threw her arm around him.
'You okay Mike? You're swaying on your feet?' Charlie walked Mike over to the couch to sit down but Mike stopped her.
'Yes I'm fine. I just swallowed a little water that's all. I'm gonna have a shower and get changed.' Mike made his way upstairs. The shower felt nice and refreshing but he started coughing again, this time it was hurting in his chest and he noticed a little bit of red on his hand. He got out of the shower and changed into his fatigues.
He was glad that no one was downstairs when he got into the kitchen. He made himself a coffee and sat on a stool at the island. He started to feel really tired and weak which caused him to drop his coffee mug on the island getting coffee everywhere. There were footsteps walking towards him.
'Mike? Are you okay, you're shaking and why is there coffee everywhere?' It was Charlie
Charlie noticed Mike was a little pale and he had a pained look on his face. When he started coughing she became even more concerned. She placed her warm hand on his forehead and gasped.
'Mike you're burning up. Please tell me what happened.'
'I was sitting on my board and a big wave came and threw me to the bottom of the ocean. I couldn't get back up and swallowed tons of water.' Just that explanation was too much. Before Charlie could respond Mike had blacked out onto the counter and banged his head.
'MIKE.' Charlie shook him.
'PAUL, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MIKE.' Charlie shouted up the stairs and everyone came down the stairs together. They walked into the kitchen and found Mike slumped over the counter unconscious. Charlie explained what Mike had told her about what happened. Briggs grabbed his phone and called an ambulance.
When the ambulance arrived the others watched as Mike was carried into the back of the ambulance and driven away.
'He's never going surfing again.' Briggs said quietly to the others and they all nodded.
