Right, chapter 3, im getting used to writing this now, and id like to say thanks to everyone that's reviewed it so far. Im leaving lots of plotholes open, but don't worry, they will be resolved. At least one of thems resolved this chapter. This chapter is shorter than the others, but has a bit more plot significance
Chapter 3: The One with the intruder
"Phoebe" Joey yelled
"Im here" Phoebe said coming out of the bathroom
"Lets go see whats going on" Joey said
Joey and Phoebe opened the door, and to their surprise Ross and Rachel were just about to knock on the door.
"Whats going on" Joey asked yawning
"Burglar alarm" Rachel said also with a yawn
"Ive got me bat" Ross said rushing back into his apartment coming out soon after with a dis-used bat
"So, What do we do now?" Rachel said, looking a bit bored
At that time there was a bang on the escalator, they had been stopped for the night, but someone was coming up them, they could hear the breathing, a rasping breathing. Then they heard another bang, the intruder had fallen over on his way up. Phoebe looked at Rachel and made sure they were behind Joey and Ross. The intruder could be heard crawling up the stars, they saw a hand, it was covered in cuts, dirt, and blood. They all gulped, another hand came up another step, and then a head, also covered in cuts and bruises.
"Oh my God" Rachel breathed
"Chandler" Ross yelled running forward and helping him up
Joey, Rachel and Phoebe soon followed, and helped drag Chandler the rest of the way to Ross and Rachels apartment.
"Monica…Erica…Jack…" he mumbled
"Chandler, where are they?" Ross said
"Ross…Joey…Rachel…Phoebe you have to help them" he mumbled
"Chandler, hunny, please tell us where they are" Rachel said fighting back tears
"Locked up, kidnapped, eye--" chandler said
But as he began to say it, he passed out, Phoebe sobbed as Rachel ran to the phone to call an ambulance, Ross cradled his old friend, crying for his sister, Joey sobbed too, unknowing of what to do next. Some time later the ambulance arrived, Ross and Phoebe went to the hospital in the ambulance while Joey and Rachel drove in Joeys car behind the ambulance.
"Er…Rach?" Joey asked
"What?"
"Wheres Emma?"
"My mum picked her up just after you left last night, Emma's been having trouble in school, so now she goes to my mums during the week, and goes to the school near there"
"Oh, that must be a bummer for you" Joey said looking solemn
"Yer, well as long as she gets the best education, er…Joey" Rachel said looking worried
"What?" Joey replied
"You haven't looked at the road in the last 3 minutes"
"AHHHH" Joey and Rachel screamed
"Its ok, we're on the road" Joey said with a laugh at Rachel
"Oh that settles me" Rachel said sarcastically
Some time later, Rachel and Joey arrived at the hospital behind the ambulance, Phoebe and Ross got out of the ambulance followed by chandler in a stretcher.
"He's getting worse, im not sure he's going to pull through" Ross said as he sobbed into Rachels shoulder
"Do not say that Ross, he's going to get through it" Phoebe cut in
The stretched was rushed straight into the hospital front doors, as Ross, Joey, Rachel and Phoebe followed a nurse stepped in front of them,
"Sorry, you can't go any further, you'll have to wait in reception" the nurse said
"Fine" Rachel said dragging Ross to some chairs
It seemed like hours passed before someone told them what was going on.
"Doctor, Whats going on" Joey said
"He's going to be OK, but he has entered a coma that could last for weeks, what happened to him?" The doctor asked
"We don't know, he was in the middle of telling us when he just passed out" Ross said
"Well, I think you need to go home, there's no more you can do, we'll take good care of him" the doctor motioned towards the door
"Ok, please call me as soon as anything happens" Rachel said giving the doctor her number,
Joey drove everyone back to the apartment block, the alarms had been reset, and the police were all over looking for clues to where Chandler had come from.
"have you searched our apartments?" Joey said to the first cop he saw.
"Yes, you may go inside them again, we found nothing" he said
Joey lead Phoebe to their apartment, while Rachel took Ross under the arm and walked him into theirs
"Night Joe, Pheebs" Rachel yelled
"Night" Joey yelled back
In the apartment Phoebe slowly made her way to her room without saying anything, Joey sat down, deciding not to try and sleep. So much had happened in his first few hours, how could so much change. Thinking all those years back, Chandler and Monicas wedding, the chick and the duck, Treeger, dates, all gone now. Slowly Joey drifted into a deep sleep, once more filled with nightmares.
Disclaimer: So, What do you think? I would like to ensure I do not own any of the characters, but love the show, and thought id have a stab at doing it.
