Chapter 3: The member of IR.
"Come on Jessica, we need to go back to the town. They need your help. Besides, if there would be another mudslide…" said a person with black hair.
"Wait a second, Patrick. I think I saw something." Said Jessica, who had blond hair.
"You always see stuff, Jessica." Said Patrick.
Jessica just ignored Patrick and walked next to what once the river, that had now muddy, dirty water in it.
"Jessica, don't go close to the river, you might fall in it !" said Patrick worried.
"Relax, I'm just going to look what there is under that pieces of wood." Said Jessica and she went to the pieces of wood.
When she reached it, she gasped. "Patrick !" she yelled suddenly, "Come quick ! There's a man under it !"
Patrick came immediately to her and saw the man too. He checked if he hand any pulse and there was one ! "He has a pulse." Said Patrick, while looking at Jessica.
"Let's take him with us, he seems badly hurt." Said Jessica and begun pulling the pieces of wood of the man. Patrick nodded and started to help. In no time, they had all the pieces of wood off the man.
"Let's turn him around." Said Patrick and when the turned they both gasped. The man was wearing a blue suit, that is now covered with mud and had a yellow slash on. On the slash was a logo standing on it with the letters IR on.
"Oh god…" said Patrick, not believing what he saw.
"This guy is from International Rescue…."said Jessica, while looking at the person.
They kept staring at the man, till Patrick jumped out of the staring. "Come on, let's get him to the Doc." He said and grabbed the man's legs and Jessica picked up the arms.
They carried the man back to their home town. Several other people, were just staring at them or some of them went inside their home, out of sacredness.
------
At the Doctor's house, there was a loud knock on the door. An old man walked to the door and opened it up. "Yes ?" he said.
"Doctor, you need to help this man, me and Jessica have found him next to the river." Said Patrick.
"Alright, bring him in." said the Doctor, to Jessica and Patrick and he let them carry the man inside.
"Lay him down on that bed." Said the Doctor, while pointing at a bed that was ready to have his patient on it.
"How is he, grandfather ?"said Jessica to her grandfather, who was the only doctor in this town.
"I don't know, honey. All I can tell is, that he's right now in shock." Said the Doctor. The doctor started to cut the slash and cut opened the shirt that the man was wearing. He put the clothes he had cut off, away and then looked at the injuries.
"Okay, this doesn't look too good for this fella." Said the doctor and then he went to a little room, getting stuff out and the started to wash his hands.
"Okay, everyone out, now. I need to take good care of this man." Said the doctor while putting gloves on.
Everyone went back outside and stood there, waiting for some news.
-------
Inside the Doctor, was taking care of the man's injuries. Before he bandaged the whole chest, the doctor had putted the man on his side and pulled blood out of the bruised sides on the back. Then he looked at the foot, witch was sprained. After bandaging that, he looked at the left arm of the man. When the doctor had thought about the arm, the man moved a little with his hands and pulled a face that he was in pain.
"Sir ?" said the Doctor, while grabbing a little flashlight, shining in the man's eyes, looking at the pupils. The man winces again.
"Sir ? Can you hear me ?" said the Doctor. Suddenly the man's eyes opened half and he started to cough. That's when the doctor noticed, that the man was soaked. The doctor grabbed some blankets and wrapped the man in them.
"Are you alright sir ? Do you have pain somewhere ?" asked the doctor.
"Everywhere…." Said the man.
"Okay…What is your name ? Can you remember your name ?" asked the doctor.
"Virgil…" said Virgil.
"Okay, Virgil, I'm doctor Mitchell, you are in a town, my granddaughter and a friend of hers found you. Now, I'm going to give you some painkillers and I'm going to give you something so you can get some sleep, okay ?" said the doctor.
"Okay." Said Virgil while wincing.
"Okay." Said the doctor and grabbed some injections. He injected Virgil first with a painkiller. Then with something to let Virgil fall asleep.
"Let the drugs take over, okay." Said the doctor.
"Okay." Said Virgil. "Doctor ?"
"Yes ?" said the doctor while he was looking back at Virgil's left arm.
"Can…Can you thank your granddaughter….For finding me and bringing me to you ?" said Virgil.
"I will do that."
"Thank you…" said Virgil and he closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep.
After a while, the doctor was now done with taking care of Virgil's injuries. He tugged Virgil and then went to his door, opening it, he saw a lot of people looking at him worried.
"He's okay." Said the doctor. All people sighed in relief and they all returned to their houses.
"How is he ?" asked Jessica when she went to her grandfather.
"Like I said, Virgil's fine." Smiled her grandfather.
"So his name is Virgil ?"
"Yes and oh, I need to thank you and Patrick, for saving him."
Jessica blushed a bit, but smiled. "Thanks." She said. "Emh…Can I see him ?"
"Sure." Said the doctor and let her in the house.
Jessica walked in and saw Virgil laying in a bed, sleeping peacefully. Jessica smiled when she saw him asleep. "You gave him some sleeping stuff, ha grandfather ?"
"Yes I did." Smiled his grandfather. That's when suddenly, the mayor came suddenly in.
"Charles, is it true what I just have heard from Patrick ? Is it true that, Jessica and Patrick have found a member of International Rescue ?" said the mayor.
"Yes, Bill. This man is from International Rescue." Said Charles.
"My god…I never dreamed that this would happened." Said mayor Bill.
"Yeah, me either."
"I better leave you two alone." Said Jessica and she went out of the door.
When she came out of the house, Patrick came running to her. "How was he ? Is he okay ? Was he awake ? Did he say something ?" Patrick fired his questions at her.
"Whoa, calm down, yes he's okay, he was fine, no he wasn't awake and no he didn't say anything." Said Jessica.
"Oh…" said Patrick. "So what are we going to do with him ?"
"Don't know. The mayor is talking with grandfather now." Said Jessica.
-------
"What can we do with him, Charles ? We don't have any radio that works now. They have all been destroyed by the mudslide. We can't hold him here. You know how the people are when strangers are in the town." Said mayor Bill.
"I know , Bill. We can't send him away, he's too weak for that now." Said Charles.
Bill sighed and looked at Charles patient. "We need to get him away, Charles. No one will take care of him."
"I will take care of him." Said Charles.
"Okay, but if he does anything wrong, you're responsible." Said mayor Bill and went out of the house.
Charles sighed and looked at Virgil. 'Please, if you are going to be awake, please don't do anything silly.' Thought Charles.
-------
Four days later, Virgil re-opened his eyes again. His vision was drowsy. He blinked several times with his eyes before getting clear vision. When he saw better he saw a young women smiling down at him. He couldn't help it, but smiled back.
"Hi." Said Virgil.
"Hello there," said the young woman. "Welcome back to the land of the living."
Virgil smiled at the last comment, Scott would always say that too. When some of his brothers where out of conscious for a while.
"Where am I ?" asked Virgil, while wanting to sit up.
"Whoa, easy tiger." Said the young women, while pushing him back down. "I really wouldn't get up now, if I was you. You got a high fever there. And you're at my town, remember ? My grandfather has told you it."
"Oh…Oh yeah, now I remember it." Said Virgil, remembering what happened last night.
"That's good. Oh I'm Jessica by the way." Smiled Jessica.
"Nice to meet you, Jessica. I'm Virgil." Said Virgil and wanted to shake her hand but suddenly felt so weak.
"Easy." Said Jessica and laid a wet cloth on Virgil's forehead. "We can talk later, okay ? You better get some rest."
"You sound like you're a doctor." Said Virgil while looking at her.
"Well, I do live with my grandfather and he's a doctor so…" smiled Jessica proudly.
"Don't you live with your parents then ?" ask Virgil, wondering where her parents can be.
"No, they have past away. My mom died while giving birth to me and my dad died in a mudslide." Said Jessica sad.
"Oh…I'm sorry…." Said Virgil, knowing how it feels to lose someone special.
"That's okay. But now you need to rest." Said Jessica and she stood up and walked to the door.
"Hey Jessica ?" said Virgil from the bed.
"Yes ?" said Jessica while turning to him.
"Thanks." Said Virgil.
"Your welcome." Said Jessica with a smile and went outside.
Virgil smiled back and then close his eyes, falling back to sleep.
