Chapter 5 – Trixie and Spud Pay a Visit
Comments from the author: New chapter! There are a few reviews so far, but that's a start. I'll update as soon as possible. Thanks for the first few reviews.
I'll also try to finish my other story. I just enjoy working on this one too.
That night, the long family went home. It was a pretty silent night. They all knew Jake was in the hospital. It was really good that he wasn't in any real danger.
In the morning, it started out with a ring from the doorbell.
Jake's mom answered the door.
"Hey Mrs. Long. We were wondering if Jake was home." Trixie said. "Oh, you want Jake." Jake's mom said. "I'm afraid that he's in the hospital for a moment.
They both gasped. "Is something wrong with Jake!" Spud asked, concerned.
"Yes, but not really serious. He just has a bad case of strep throat." Jake's mom said.
"Is there any way we can visit Jake?" Spud asked, starting to tear up. "Fortunately, yes. You can go to the New York City Hospital. He's in room 427." She replied.
"Thanks Jake's mom." Spud said, clearly hugging her. Trixie and Spud headed for the hospital.
When the two arrived, they headed for Jake's room. "Room 427." Trixie read. "This must be it." She said. Spud opened the door.
"Hey Jake!" Trixie greeted. Jake moaned. "Hi guys." He replied, sleepily. Spud gasped.
"Are you dying? Is everything okay? How did you get sick?" Spud asked, frantically. "Spud, please. I'm okay. I'm just not feeling well." Jake replied.
"How did you get sick?' Trixie asked again. "Well, I don't know. Maybe it was when I was doing a mission on the top of Mount Everest." Jake replied.
Suddenly, a nurse went inside his room. "Um, can you two leave the room for a moment?" She asked. "Of course." Trixie said, grabbing Spud.
The nurse told Jake to take more penicillin. This time, he gagged. The nurse took his temperature. "One hundred eleven. Your fever getting higher then I thought." She told him. He just moaned, and he went back to sleep.
When the nurse got out of the room, she told the two that Jake needed rest. So Trixie and Spud left the hospital. Both were still concerned.
