Chapter 8: Misunderstanding
It had been 5 hours since Jack had awoken, and unwillingly Tony was pulled out of the room to get some rest. Michelle pushed him out along with herself, since it had been way past midnight and both were dead tired. Michelle flipped the tv on for Jack so he would not just sit there in silence then forced Tony and herself back to their house for some sleep. She kept telling Tony that Jack would be fine, and he could come back in the morning after he had slept some, took a shower, and ate something.
That morning, Tony came walking in hostipal around 9am. Michelle said he had fallen asleep once he hit the mattress. She had to go to work today, and said shed be there after her shift was over. Tony just turned into the hallway that Jacks' room was on and stopped in utter shock. He saw some nurses run in Jacks' room, and he heard yelling, from various voices. He didnt know what to think, well he thought Jacks' condition had worsen over night. He quickly sprinted down the hallway and hung a turn into Jacks' room.
He couldnt believe his eyes. The nurses were working hard to hold Jack down, as one was preparing a sryinge. Jack was struggling and yelling in chinese at them and the nurses telling him to calm down.
"Whats going on!" Tony asked as this chaos was going on. Jack glanced at Tony, and stopped struggling for a second, the nurses trying to hold him down caught a sigh of relief. Jack started to struggle again at the sight of the sryinge.
"We are just trying to help!" The nurses were telling Jack, but that wasnt helping, he didnt understand them. He just went on rapid fire chinese, shouting at them. He glanced to Tony with begging eyes.
"Tony! Pleaseee Donttt Let them hurttt me anymoreeee" He called to Tony. Tony sighed in pity, and confusion. He stood by the back wall watching all this. Tony was amazed at how strong he was, he could still struggle with 5 nurses on him
"Jack they arent going to hurt you!" Tony tried to calm him with words.. Jack only struggled more, finally the team of nurses were able to keep him still, the other nurse set the syringe down and placed restrains on Jacks' wrists.
"He doesnt need those" Tony said.
"Yes, Hes a danger to himself and others" The nurse defended her action. Tony glared at her. He knew Jack wouldnt do this without a reason. He seemed frightened to Tony.
"Tony! Please Dont let them hurt me, PLEASE!" Jack begged Tony more, trying to squirm in the restraints as the nurse came at him slowly with the syringe. The other nurses left the room leaving Tony and the one with the syringe.
"You left us no choice Mr. Bauer" The nurse said putting the sryinge in Jacks' arm vein. Jack squirmed more then stopped as soon as the needle was in and the nurse was injecting the chemical into him.
"Tony...pleaseeeee" Jack begged in a desperate fearful voice one last time before his eyes shut and his body went limp.
"What did you give him!" Tony was worried that jack just fell unconcious like that, maybe all that struggling wore him out, highly unlikely though. It had to be what the nurse gave him.
"It was a sedative so he would calm down" The nurse said then started to place new bandages on Jacks' unconcious form.
"Why was he struggling against you?" Tony asked, approaching them slowly.
"I was trying to change his bandages, I think he thought i was trying to hurt him" The nurse explained. Tony sunk his head, thinking about it.
