Chapter 17: Small Revelations
Tony and Michelle stayed in Jacks' room that night, trying to keep the police from coming in periodically to see if hes awake yet. They decided not to inform Kim or Chase until they figured out what had happened. They took shifts so they could get some sleep, every 4 hours theyd wait the other up and that one would fall asleep. During the night one of the doctors came in and pulled the tube out of him declaring him strong enough to breathe for himself though as a procaution they placed a breathing mask over his nose and mouth.
Early that morning Jack finally awoke, Tony instantly jumped to his side hearing the soft moan come from him. Tony looked at him as his eye opened slowly, he looked like he was in pain of some sort.
"Welcome Back..." Tony smiled weakly, Jack stared at Tony then looked over himself, sighing heavily.
"We need to get out of here..." He said trying to keep his breathing at a calm regular pace.
"Why?" Tony asked.
"Because They are still here...they will find me...finish the job..." He hissed in pain trying to sit up but the restraints were holding him back.
"Whose they?" Tony asked in confusion, not knowing what he had said.
"They...they killed Dr. Ibly, I tried to stop them, but i couldnt. I had to run...or else i would have been dead too" He explained yanking against his restraints.
"The police think you killed Dr. Ibly" Tony stated.
"Thats what they wanted everyone to think..." He paused as he caught his breathe, contorting more pain in his expression.
"Just calm down...lets figure this out, they wont let us move you in your condition" Tony tried to keep him calm.
"they will come to finish the job though" Jack was starting to get hysterical, actual fear was evident in his voice.
"I wont let anything happen to you..." Tony tried to reassure him. Jack pulled on his restraints only to be meet by pain, forcing him to whimper in pain and frustration.
"Ill figure this out Jack, Dont worry, Everything will be fine" Tony said patting him gently on the shoulder.
