A/N: Hello again, folks! I'm surprised I'm even updating at all, because I went to see the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie (it was awesome). Since I'm very most-likely not updating tomorrow (and probably not Sunday, either), I thought I'd do something quick now. I hope it's still good! Let's go!
Chapter 28: Conscious and Angry
Megan's PoV:
I wake up, and I don't recognize where I am, at first. My head hurts, and I feel nauseous—almost as nauseous as when I get the flu. I look around me, seeing how I'm in a fancy room, in a fancy bed. I now question what's going on.
"Oh my god! You're awake!" I jump, when I hear my sister's voice. I shoot my head over to that direction, and I see my teary-eyed sister. She's been crying. Crying for me… "Oh my god…" She runs over to me, with her arms wide open. Her arms are around me, in an instant. My sister and I are close, but I've never seen her like this before; not even with what's all happened with Kevin, and now what's going on with Buzz, our parents, and our Aunt and Uncle. "I thought you were gone…" she speaks, almost in a drift.
"Gone?... What do you mean?…" My voice is filled with weakness and confusion.
"You were poisoned," Linnie pulls away from me. She tells me this, almost in a manner that I should remember this, but I honestly don't. I remember eating some cake, and it's all blank after that. "Don't you remember?" She cocks her head to the side.
"No…"
"What do you remember?" The tears still remain on her face, as she continues to worry for me. She just stands there, waiting for me to answer. Even though I know what I remember, it's very difficult to talk.
"I… I only remember eating cake…" I think back. Was it the cake that did this to me?
"That damn cake…" Linnie looks down at the floor, and I swear she's holding back the urge to curse.
"Why?… What was wrong with the cake?…"
"It was drugged… Or poisoned… Or something…" Linnie looks like she's about to break again.
"How am I still alive, then?…"
"I… I don't know… It must've been some sort of weird drug…"
"How… How are Jeff and the others?…"
"They're fine. Just fine,"
"Did they eat any of the cake?…"
"No, we didn't. After we saw what happened to you, of course we didn't,"
"I knew that Concierge was up to something…"
"I know, but what was his purpose in doing this?"
"I don't know… I guess to let us know that he means business…"
"Yeah, probably…" Linnie looks down to the floor and thinks. She then looks up at me, wondering, "Do you think the Concierge suspects that the cake has been eaten by now?"
"I don't know…" I weakly answer, trying to sit up, which isn't as easy as it should be. "He probably expected all of us to eat the cake…"
"Yeah…" I don't like where this is going…
"So, if that was the case, what was he trying to accomplish?"
"I don't know, but he hasn't been back here, since he dropped off the food," Which now leaves me to wonder where the location of that crooked Concierge is…
Kate's PoV:
I continue to glare at the bastard, wondering what sort of twisted things are running through his head. As for me, I'm thinking of all the different ways to kill him. Unfortunately, that would cause trouble for me, and I wouldn't be any better than him. The man continues to smile proudly, before glancing back over to Buzz. I take my eyes away from the man and look down at my son. By the looks of him, it's as if he's seen a ghost.
"Buzz, are you OK?" I ask, with concern, because that's the last thing I need: is something to happen to my oldest son. I can't afford to lose another child…
"They're in trouble…"
"Who? Who's in trouble?"
"The kids, at the hotel…" I almost swear he's psychic, but maybe that dream told him a lot more than just about Kevin.
"Buzz, honey, what do you mean?"
He continues to look scared, as he glances over to me and says, with the same terrified voice, "He… He did it…" I look over to the Concierge, because I know he's referring to him.
I immediately look at Buzz again and ask, "What do you mean?"
"He's going to hurt them…"
"Hurt them?" As a Mother, I'm so full of worry; I just don't know what else to do, except try to keep it together.
"Yes…"
Seriously, what is going on through Buzz's head? What's been injected into him at this hospital? Some sort of special powers, granting him the ability to be psychic? Honestly, I'm so lost right now… I then shoot my head up at the man again, who remains standing in the same place, just as proud as punch.
I then force myself to ask, "What did you do?" He continues to stand there, with that dumb smirk. So, I decide it's best to shout it out of him, "What did you do?!"
"Hey," He raises his hands, acting as casual as possible. "I'm a criminal… I could've done anything." Finally, I snap, and nothing stops me from running over to the guy—not even Peter and Leslie's shouting can stop me.
I barely realize what I'm doing, because I'm so full of rage, but I do so, anyway—I shove the man up against the wall and shout at him, "What did you do?! What did you do to my kids?!"
More than one set of hands grab on to me, and I'm pulled away from the grinning man. I just glare at the asshole, and if I could, I would seath. "Alright, Katie. Kate! That's enough!" my husband shouts at me to stop.
If it weren't for him and my sister-in-law holding me back, I would attack the man again. The Tim Curry lookalike—which I believe suits him very well—just starts laughing at my attempts to hurt him, as if he's unaffected by anything, at all.
He then speaks the words I've been dreading to hear, "Oh, your kids are being well taken care of. After all, the Plaza only serves the best in all types of dishes. I'm sure your kids will be fine," He then smiles again, as if he's accomplished something evil. And I just stand here, as a frantic Mother, worrying what the hell he could mean by that…
To be Continued…

A/N: Thanks again, folks! :D Wow. Not only did I write a decent chapter, I was able to have a little bit of spare time, afterwards! Anyway, what do you think of Megan's PoV? Surprise, surprise! She's alive! :D (Or, is that not a surprise?) Anyway, what do you think the Concierge's intentions are? After all, he admitted to Kate that he did something to him, but in a smooth criminal type of way. ;) (Lol. That song literally just came on my playlist.) Do you think Kate will rage again, or what do you think will happen? I guess we'll just have to find out! Until the next time I'm magically able to update, I'll see you again! :D
