Al woke up to the sound of the door creaking open. He lifted his head, and Izumi was standing in the doorway; blocking the dusty sunlight from coming in through the door.
"I know you don't want to eat, but you have too….it's on the table" Izumi said and she walked out the door.
Al lifted his body out from the bed, and pulled on his clothes; running a brush through his hair, and then tying it up in a small pony tail. He went into the kitchen, where he found himself alone.
He shrugged, and ate some toast, and eggs.
He wasn't feeling too good, he was a little dizzy, but that had been going on quiet recently. Al sighed, and for a moment he thought he saw Ed's form standing right in front of him, but then the next minute it was gone.
Al blinked over, and over again. The house was quiet, until finally Izumi stepped into the house.
"Al?" she said questionably. Al didn't answer.
It was only a few second when Izumi realized something was wrong.
"Sig!" Izumi screamed, and in that instant it seemed time seemed to move ever so slowly.
Al let out a choked crying gurgle, like he had tried to scream, and cry at the same time. And then his eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he collapsed on the floor.
Time started moving again, and Izumi was at his side, not really remembering how she'd gotten there. Sig came in, he put his large hand on his wife's shoulder, Izumi got up. He picked up Al's limp small body, and put him back in his bed.
Izumi called the doctor.
&&&&&
The doctor listened to Al's heart, he smiled.
"There seems to be nothing wrong with this boy" he said.
"Then how do you explain what happened" Izumi asked harshly.
"He's too young, and healthy to have a heart-attack. Since he's healthy, and perfectly fine…then the only logical explanation would be that he passed out from shock of...something" he answered putting his pen back in his breast pocket.
He headed toward the door, but not before giving Sig a slip, which had the cost of this "meeting" on it. Sig growled in response, shut the door after the doctor.
&&&&&
Al opened his eyes slowly, his head pounding; his closed his eyes which ceased the pounding in his head a little. Izumi came in.
She put an aspirin, and a glass of water by the bedside table, noting for the first time the picture she had taken a long time ago; was still on the table.
Al sat up, and took the pill, Izumi kneeled to him.
"Do you remember why you passed out Al, I need you to try" she said as gently and firmly as she could muster. Al hesitated, and then shook his head.
"I don't remember anything" Al replied.
Izumi looked worried as she shut the door back closed. And she called the doctor again.
Of course he said the only "logical" explanation would be amnesia, which was very common with shock. At this Izumi slammed down the phone.
"Izumi don't take out your grief, and worry on the doctor" Sig said gently, holding her shoulders. Izumi pushed his hands away.
"It's not that Sig….Doc here keeps on saying the only "logical" explanation is this…and that...but I don't think this is logical at all. No this is very far from it" Izumi said, she coughed violently, and blood spurted from her mouth. Sig said nothing, but he gave her a hanky, and some pills.
Izumi slept from the strong chemicals in the pills, and Al slept, his mind free to wonder, Sig was the only one who didn't sleep.
