About ten minutes later everyone was waiting outside if a room Jack was in
all wondering if her was going to be all right. The woman then came out and
closed the door behind her.
"Is Jack going to be all right?" Molly asked.
"He should be. He just has a mild concussion and a broken rib. Bur he should be fine if he rests for a couple of days."
Molly nodded. "All right. I have a concert tomorrow but I 'll post pone it."
"Gonna have to anyway," Ned stated. "I need to fix the bus. There's a couple things wrong with it."
"Well you folds stay here as long as you need to. There's plenty of room," the woman said.
"Thank you," Molly replied. I'm sorry, I never got your name."
"Oh, pardon my manners. I'm Gina Bass."
"Hi, I'm Molly Phillips, and this is Clu, Carey, Annie, the guy who just went outside is Ned, and my son's name is Jack."
"Nice to meet you all. And Ms. Phillips I just wanted to say that I know you work and you're very talented."
"Thank you. And in that case, I would like you and you family to be special guests at my next concert."
"Oh, Ms. Phillips, thank you, but-"
"No buts. You helped my son and you're offering you home to us. Please, it's the least I could do."
Gina nodded. "Thank you, Ms. Phillips."
Molly smiled. "You're welcome. And please, call me Molly. Um, can we see Jack?"
"Oh, of course."
"Thank you."
Everyone then walked in and found Jack lying unconscious on the bed with a big band aid on his head. They all then crowded around his bed and Molly sat down beside him.
"Dude, he looks so pale," Clu said.
"What, do you expect him to look like a million bucks?" Carey replied.
"Well, no, he's never looked like that."
"Very funny," Jack replied in a weak voice as he was coming to.
"Honey? How do you feel?" Molly asked.
"Like a bowling ball hit my head."
"Jack, what happened? How come you're the only one who got hurt?" Annie asked.
"I don't know," Jack replied, looking confused, "I was looking outside and- Uh, I mean the bus swerved and I got thrown against something hard."
"Must have been," Molly replied. "I mean you got a concussion and a broken rib."
Jack looked a bit uneasy witch caught Annie's eye right away. "Are you sure that's all that happened, Jack?"
"Yeah, Annie, I'm sure."
"Well, we'll leave you alone so you can rest, sweetie," Molly said, giving him a kiss on his head.
"Sure thing, mom."
"Sweet dreams, dude!" Clu said, following Molly and Carey out the door.
Annie stayed behind and when the coast was clear shut the door.
"Yes, Annie, may I help you?" Jack said, annoyed.
"Jack, something more than what you said happened, didn't it?"
"No, Annie it didn't."
"Than how do you explain what happened?"
"Um, a car accident?"
"Jack, come on if you don't tell me what happened then I'll go investigate."
Jack sighed. "Do you hound all guys when they're down? All right, fine. But this stays quiet."
"No problem."
"Okay, I was going back to my room when I thought I saw something outside. So I went to look and then the bus crashed, only, I felt like a greater force had pushed me somehow."
"What did you see outside?"
"I don't know. I think it was a woman."
"Strange."
"Yeah, you know, that is strange."
"Really? You think so?"
"No, Annie, I don't. The force I just felt could have been the bus swerving plan and simple."
"Jack, come on. I mean, I was like a foot away from you and nothing happened to me. And I was by more things that could have hurt me."
"Well, I'm a klutz, what can I say?"
"Come on, Jack."
"Annie, just leave it alone. Don't be turning this into something. You always do."
"What did the woman look like?"
"I don't know, a woman. Like you. Only probably not quite as annoying."
"Yeah, but what did she look like?"
"Well, I would have let you known, but then I lost consciousness."
"Did she look at you?"
"I don't know, Annie, I couldn't see that well. It was storming you know."
"But-"
"Annie, please, just let it go."
"You know I can't do that, Jack."
Jack sighed. "Fine. Just, if you have to investigate, don't do it know, when it's dark outside. Because if by some very small chance, there is something going wrong out there, then I don't want you mixed up in it."
"Oh, so you do think something is going on, eh?"
"No, Annie. I don't. Now please, just drop it. Or at least until morning, anyway."
"Fine. But I can't make any promises," she said, going out the door. "Goodnight."
"Yeah, I hope it is." ** About a couple of hours later, Jack woke up to a noise outside of his window. He groaned and slowly got out of bed trying to ignore the pain of his rib. "Probably Annie. I wish she would just leave it alone."
He then walked to the window and saw an animal walking around outside his room. An animal what looked like- a tiger?
"A tiger. Why would there be a tiger outside in the wilderness where we're at?" Jack wondered.
Suddenly, he saw a young girl come out with some meat on a plate and walked up to the tiger. She made it sit, and then fed the meat to it. Curious, Jack opened the window an inch so he could hear what they were saying and heard the girl speaking.
"Oh, don't worry, mother can never take you away from me. As soon as I figure out a way, we'll be together forever."
Jack, being confused and thinking that that was weird, tried to back away quietly but accidentally hit a table and broke a bowl on it. The girl looked up to where Jack was and right in front of Jack's eyes disappeared in a gust of wind.
"Is Jack going to be all right?" Molly asked.
"He should be. He just has a mild concussion and a broken rib. Bur he should be fine if he rests for a couple of days."
Molly nodded. "All right. I have a concert tomorrow but I 'll post pone it."
