Charlie and Olivia had already run up three flights of stairs and were only halfway to the infirmary. It wasn't easy on Charlie who was carrying Emma but he didn't complain. They were both breathing hard and Olivia could only nod when Charlie said that they should go faster to make good timing and then get back to their dorms.

At last they finally made it to the infirmary and the nurse automatically led them to a hospital bed.

"Now tell me what happened," the nurse ordered them. Olivia was still breathing too hard so Charlie had to answer.

"She got sick and Olivia here came to get me because Emma had passed out and she didn't know what to do. We didn't know what had happened so we took her here."

The nurse nodded. "You can leave her here. I'll take care of her. You two kids did the right thing."

Charlie nodded and whispered to Olivia, "Let's go now. We're gonna be late."

Olivia nodded and followed him out the door. They began to run to the dormitories. "We have five minutes!" he panted as he reached Olivia's room. He looked at her for a long moment then kissed her cheek and murmured, "Night Liv."

She watched as he ran down the steps back to his own room before going into hers. The other girls watched her intently with grins plastered to their faces. "Yes, may I help you?"

"Oh, no thank-you," one replied with a small giggle. Olivia scowled at them before crawling under her blankets.

Charlie arrived at his dormitory with only two minutes to spare. He quickly put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and hopped into his bed. Fidelio was already sleeping two beds over as were Gabriel and Billy.

Good, Charlie thought to himself. Now I don't have to get pelted with questions.

But then Gabriel woke up and asked, "Yo, where were you?"

"Well you know I went to the office. It's obvious that they electrocuted me. But Liv, Fido and Em came to help me and then Manfred did the same to them. We all passed out but Emma wouldn't wake up no matter what we tried. Fido wasn't looking good so I sent him back here. Me and Liv had to take Em to the infirmary."

Gabriel looked scared. "The infirmary?"

"Yea, we didn't know what else to do. Pass it on to the rest of them will you? Be careful of Tanc though. He's going to flip out when he hears about Emma."

"Lights out!" Matron barked and her hand slithered around the doorway switching off the lone light bulb in the center of the room.

Charlie fell asleep in a few minutes completely exhausted.
