Chapter 5 "He's…he's…"
The ambulance comes to Jimmy's lab. Goddard opens the door, and the ambulance crew puts Jimmy on a stretcher. They exit the lab just as Jimmy's parents come out to see what all the commotion was about. Once Jimmy's mom sees Jimmy on the stretcher, she faints. Jimmy's dad, ignoring his wife at the moment, rushes to Jimmy's side.
"What happened?" asked Jimmy's dad, tears swelling in his eyes.
Before the ambulance crew could answer, Goddard barks, attracting the attention of Jimmy's dad while the ambulance crew puts Jimmy in the ambulance. As Jimmy is pulled into the ambulance, Cindy runs over. She tries to get on the ambulance, but is stopped.
"Who are you?" asked an ambulance member.
"I'm Cindy Vortex, Jimmy's girlfriend, and I want on, now!" said Cindy, her anger growing.
"Okay, get on." said the ambulance member.
Cindy gets on the ambulance and the ambulance member closes the door. They speed off to the hospital. Cindy takes Jimmy's hand in hers. It has a pulse, but it is ice cold.
"Doc, Jimmy's hand is ice cold. Isn't there anything you can do about it?" asked Cindy, concern present in her voice.
The ambulance doctor checks Jimmy's hand, and confirms that it is indeed ice cold. The doctor also notices an irregularity in Jimmy's pulse.
"Cindy, unfortunately, there is nothing I can do. Furthermore, I'm sorry to inform you that…that…you friend is dying." said the ambulance doctor.
"No. Come on Jimmy, don't move towards the light. Please, don't die!" said Cindy, who is almost at the point of hysterics.
"Miss Vortex, please calm down!" said the ambulance doctor.
Cindy calms down, but only a little. The ambulance doctor rechecks the pulse; there is none. The doctor gets out the EMT (?) machine.
"Stand back." said the ambulance doctor.
Cindy takes a few steps back.
"Clear!" said the ambulance doctor.
The ambulance doc uses the machine on Jimmy. Jimmy bounces up once, and then falls back down. There is still no pulse, so the ambulance doc tries again. He keeps trying until they arrived at the hospital. They try 10 different things at the hospital. After about 1 hour, they pronounce Jimmy dead. The doctors go out of the room and out into the hallway where not only Cindy, but also Libby, Carl, Sheen, and Jimmy's parents were. The doctor looks at them sadly.
"I'm afraid I have some bad news. Jimmy, well, he's…he's…he's no longer with us." said the doctor, at that, Ms. Neutron and Cindy start to ball their eyes out. Jimmy's dad puts his arms around Jimmy's mom, trying to comfort her. As for Cindy, Libby, Carl, and Sheen give her a hug. They all knew how much she loved Jimmy. Cindy and Jimmy's mom continue to cry. They all leave the hospital, trying to comfort Cindy or Jimmy's mom. They continue to cry until they get to their separate homes, where they fall asleep. This is going to be one of the saddest days all of them have ever had.
