Chapter 14: Found
Tony stepped into the dark room, something wasnt right here. His instinct told him that.
"Hello?" He called out into the darkness, He got a response. He heard shallow laborous breathing echoe threw the room. He ran his hands along the wall searching for a light switch, finally he found it and flipped it on. The lights were dim and it didnt help much on seeing things. It was like a storage area, filled with boxes apon boxes of stuff.
"Whos here?" Tony called again, he still only heard the shallow breathing. He moved slowly through the boxes, not exactly sure on what to expect.
"Answer me" Tony shouted so anyone in the room would here. Still no answer. He then looked down at the ground, the bloody footprints at started again. He followed them slowly. His mind was spinning with questions. Then it had dawned on him, it had rained last night. That was why there was no trail in the emergency bay, it was washed away by the rain. He took a deep breathe as he continued to follow the trail, it finally stopped as he found a massive pile of toppled over boxes. Also the origin of shallow breathing.
At least hes breathing, Tony thought. He immediatly started to remove the boxes off the pile. After a few He finally managed to uncover the being. It was Jack. He was covered in blood, most likely none of which was his own, Tony thought. Jack was unconcious, his right hand limply over his throat still. Tony moved to him gently moving Jacks' blood covered hand away from his throat, much to his shock he found a long thin cut trailing across Jacks' neck.
"Shit..." He muttered under his breathe, looking for other wounds, but there was so much blood everywhere on him it was hard to tell. Tony pulled his jacket off and started to wipe away some of the blood, revealing more bruises and cuts. New ones planted on the old ones. What the hell had happened? He thought to himself. Surely the doctor wouldnt have done this to Jack. Tony moved Jack to the cement floor laying him flat, Tony noticed he was shivering. Tony placed his hand on Jacks' head to find it was burning, his had almost jerked away from the reaction of the heat. Something was definitly not right here. Tony wrapped his jacket around Jack. Then he picked Jack up and carried him back to the hostipal.
