Your Life or Mine

Chapter 3

Suddenly a man and a girl burst in. The people from earlier, that were riding in Serena's cars.

"YOU!" Zack snarled angrily at them. Both their eyes flicked to Serena and back to Zack again.

"YOU HAD BETTER KNOW A GOOD DOCTOR!" Zack said, approaching them with a vengeful glare and clenched fists.

Darien and Rei backed away, not knowing what to make of Serena's friend....

Darien stepped infront of his sister protectively and pulled out his cell phone.

"We do." Darien stated calmly. Rei was staring at Serena, prone, breathing shallowly, and bleeding.

Rei walked carefully over to Serena and took her pulse. It was definitely too slow for her taste. Rei simply glared at the once strong and demanding girl before her and smiled.

'If you can't handle it, practice or don't use it' Rei thought with a slight smile on her face. That was the first rule she learned in all her classes.

"Yeah yeah yeah... just get down here. Bring all the stuff you can, and I do mean all of it!" Darien demanded to the doctor on the phone.

"yea, hold on..." Darien turned towards Zack, "What's the address on this place?"

"13257 Jamison Street. What car does your doctor drive?" Zack said hastily.

"2000 glx passat, silver." Darien stated calmly as he began to relay the address back to the doctor.

"Good. I'll see you then." Darien said briefly and hung up the phone.

"This doctor of yours better be good!" Zack said menacingly, "Or I'm going to have your hide!"

"Alright, alright. She'll be here in a little bit. She just got off of work for the day. She has her own practice for goodness sake." Darien remarked.

Sighing deeply Zack once again took a look at Serena's prone form. Suddenly she began to cough, and cough up she did.

*COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH*

Zack immediately rushed over to her, grabbing a waterbottle along the way.

"Drink." Zack said, lifting her body up slightly. Serena drank the water but continued to cough.

*COUGH COUGH*

This time it was all blood that came up. Zack ran quickly to his bathroom and grabbed a towel. Upon coming back he saw that Darien and Rei were trying to check Serena's vital signs and she kept pushing them away.

"Leave me alone." she managed to croak between her coughs, her hands now covered in blood.

"Zack..." Serena said before she passed out again.

Zack hastily brought the towel over and unceremoniously unseated Darien and Rei from their spots next to Serena. He wiped up the blood on her hands and face and glared at Darien.

"When is your doctor coming?" Zack demanded.

"Soon, she should be here in like 5 to 10 minutes. Here I'll give her a call." Darien said just as anxious as Zack.

Zack watched Darien impatiently as Darien dialed the number to his doctor.

"Hello?"

"Yea yea, it's me. How far away are you from the garage?"

"Alright then. I'll see you in a bit."

"She's outside the door" Darien said as he turned towards Zack.

In relief Zack glanced towards his desk. He turned his ring around, once again and pressed it into his desk. However, this time he turned his hand as he was doing it and the screen still came up. It was different though. He grabbed his now portable screen and tapped a few windows with his soiled hands. The image outside of the garage door popped up and he glanced at it.

"Is this your friend's car?" Zack showed the screen to Darien and Rei who were now standing just a few feet behind Zack, watching him as he rushed around his office.

"Yeah." Rei said simply.

"Alright then." Zack said and pushed a few more commands into the computer. By this time the garage was closed, and there wasn't much to worry about. So Zack opened up one of the garage doors and the car drove in.

"Finally" Zack sighed in relief.

"Ames!" Rei said happily, running from the office to the garage and hugging the doctor.

"Nice to see you too!" Ames squeaked from inside Rei's ferocious hug.

'No, not her...' Zack thought.

"Where's this patient of yours?" Ames asked patiently.

Rei and Darien both motioned to Serena lying on the floor. Something unexpected happened. Ames turned away and began walking towards her car again.

"I'm not going to treat her." Ames said a slightly angry tone infecting her voice.

"Why not?" Rei demanded as she stepped infront of the door to the garage.

"Ask him!" Ames pointed at Zack, her finger shaking angrily in the air.

Darien and Rei both glanced at Zack who was staring straight back at Ames, with a cool fire burning into Ames' blue eyes.

"You know that story wasn't true. Why'd you believe it?" Zack said cautiously, walking towards Ames slowly.

"No! Leave me alone!" Ames said and tried to push Rei away from the door.

"Treat her first." Rei said gently, motioning towards Serena.

"Fine." Ames said, visibly crumbling. She walked dejectedly over to Serena and took her pulse. Her eyes widened in suprise as she felt an extremely slow pulse, a high fever, and a clogging of her lungs.

"What happened to her?" Ames asked quietly.

"Her chain." Zack said as equally quitely.

"Ahh... her infamous chain." Ames said as she rummaged through her bag of medical supplies. Quickly she injected two things into Serena. An antidote and a nutrient supplement. She discarded the needles and packaging and again walked towards the door.

"You know the drill Zack, water and rest. For at least two days."

Rei stepped away from the door thanking Ames as she walked through it.

"Thanks Ames. You're a lifesaver." Rei said, pulling Ames in for another hug.

"You know I hate hugs." Ames whispered back. She continued to walk towards her car, but turned around at the last minute.

"Don't ever call me again." Ames stated loudly and pointedly towards Zack.

"I always did what you asked me to." Zack replied sadly.
