Fryingpan Chapter 4 Fright and Flight

Tyson jogged into the room lugging a loud of pills, a washcloth, and a bowl of cold water which he was slopping everywhere.

"Thank you Tyson." Rei said dipping the cloth in the water, ringing it out, and laying it on Kai's head.

Kenney ambled into the room, "Mr. Dickinson is on his way. No telling how long it will take him to get here." He sighed collapsing down in one of the chairs. "Is there anything I or Dizzy could do to help?" He asked.

"Possibilities of any of us being any help at all is low, but if Dizzy could do a scan of Kai to see if she can see what's wrong…" Rei trailed off, the cloth slipped off Kai's head as he began to fidget.

Emotions he was not suppose to have swirled around in a blurred jumble. His head ached and he could hardly move. Kai tried not to be sick as he tried to sort out what was going on, he could just barley hear the mumbling of people. "Shit! What the hell's going on?" He asked the memories and blurred faces, before he blacked out.

Kai calmed and stopped thrashing, and Rei was able to place the cloth back on his head. "Agh, that's impossible. How can he have a temperature that high?" Kenny exclaimed.

Every head turn toward him, "How bad is it chief?"

Tyson asked as Rei set his hand on Kai's head and with drew it with a hiss, "No wonder the cloth is having little effect."

Max leaned back in his chair, "What could do this to Kai, he's always been so strong."

"It's okay Maxie, well find out what's wrong. He'll be back to normal in no time." Tyson said sounding more like he was trying to convince himself. They sat in silence for more than a half an hour silence being broken only by Kai's shallow breathing and occasional outbreaks. Finally, there was a knock on their door, and Kenny was up like a flash to let Mr. Dickenson in.

"So what happened boys?" He asked.

"We aren't sure, he just collapsed. He's over here." Rei said leading him to Kai.

Mr. Dickenson picked up Kai's body; "We have to get him to the hospital. Rei, would you mind coming with us?" Rei nodded fallowing him out the car. Mr. D passed Kai to Rei and climbed into the drivers seat as Rei climbed into the back laying Kai across the seats placing Kai's head in his lap. Rei ran his fingers through Kai's bangs, his fingers stroking his cheek. Kai flinched away, his whole body tensed even though he was unconscious.

"We're almost there, hold on Kai." Rei said.

Kai's eyes opened and he blinked once trying to clear away all the gray. He started to make out the ceiling and door of a car, the streetlights blurred outside in the black sky.

Clouded crimson strained to see who was in the car, "Rei?" He called out blindly.

"I'm right here, Kai," He said taking and squeezing Kai's hand for reassurance, "We're almost there just hold on."

"What's going on? Where are we going?" Kai panted.

"You're not well, Kai, we have to take you to the hospital."

"No." Kai said firmly, "I'm not going to the hospital."

"Kai, relax, we're going, now calm down." Kai couldn't see how he could calm down, he was being forcefully dragged to the one place he absolutely hated and Rei wouldn't even let Kai put in his two cents. Hospitals didn't help anybody the only caused more pain and often death. Kai tried to sit up only to have Rei push him back down. "Kai, don't waste your strength."

"Rei." Kai growled.

Mr. D slammed on the breaks, instinctively Rei's right hand braced himself and his left caught Kai's waste to keep him from falling on the floor. Kai broke away from Rei and shoved his way out of the car, taking off at a run as soon as his feet hit the ground.

"KAI!" Rei called jumping out of the car after him.
