Chapter 4: First reactions.

LaoShi walked up and down threw the store and stared at the phone. He knowed: If Jake and Haley are not ill, someone other who maybe still is in the magical-community could be make other ill.

After a long while of talking and explaining about this disease, everybody stared at the phone and waited for the test-results from the magical-lab. Sun leaved the shop to go to the magnus-bazar to warn the local community. She also knowed the disease and the precautions in this case.

"And what are that precautions?" Spud asked the old man.

"Well, if there is a 'hunch': Only warn the people! That means they should stay away from people who look ill, or call the doctor if you feel something."

"And what's when it's confimed?" Jake asked.

"Than we have a problem. The whole community have to be isolated. Everybody have to stay home and have to wear mouthguards. But we all hope that it's not serious. Right?"

Everybody agreed. Than the phone start to rang.

"Hello!" LaoShi said. "Oh yes doctor!..."

Everyone stared at LaoShi who first looked confused and than shocked. He hanged off and looked at the others.

"What?" Fu asked.

"T...The lab said that the blood from the tissue is from a human!" LaoShi explained horrified.

Jake and Haley almost got unconscinous. They knowed that there was only one human in thier house: thier father.

Short time before Jake and Haley leave the shop the phone rang again. Fu Dog took the phone and was also shocked.

"Jake, Haley... your father has the disease!" he explained shocked. "He has the disease Type 1."

In the little hospital in the Bronx, where yesterday all victims of the plane-crash got medical-help, it was quite now. The everyday life came back and the doctors and nurses make thier normal daily work.

But when a young doctor wanted to visit a victim of the plane-crash in his room he was shocked: The bed of the around 20 years old man was full with blood and the patient was in a coma. The young doctor was shocked and shouted for the nurse during he check the sleeping man.

"Oh my gosh!" the nurse shouted when she arrived in the room. "Doctor, what happend with him?"

"I wish I know it!" the doctor said worried and looked at the man.

They wanted to send him home today but now the doctor had to find out what he had. After around one hour, the man was in the ICU and got oxygen by a mask. The young doctor walked tired threw the hospital and met some other survivors of the crash. When he met a older woman with a broken leg, he helped her. After they walk a while, the woman start to bleed threw the nose...

Jake and Haley arrived in the hospital where thier mom and thier aunt already waited. Both didn't realized thier aunt when they ran into the arms of thier mother.

"MOM!" both shouted. Everyone stood thier, in front of the intensive care unit and have to wait.

"It's my fault!" Jake said horrified. "If I told him everything earlier, he was ready for those things."

"It's not your fault!!!" his mom said. "It's mine!"

"What are you talking about?" Patchouli asked confused. "The doctor said that Jonathan had a allergic shock or something else. He will become okay."

"You have no clue..." Jake said before the doctor appeared.

"Doctor, how is my husband?" Susan asked.

"Hmmm... Mrs. Long, I have to say... I never seen something like this! First I thaught that it was a allergic shock but than... your husband, is in coma."

When the doctor finished, Susan start to cry. How was that possible, was it a aftereffect from the crash. But the black pimples... and the tissue, it wasn't possible. 'No' she thaught. That was impossible.

"I have to see him!" Susan cried.

"Okay, but only one person..." the doctor couldn't finish before she disappeared behind the door.

Jake and Haley looked worried on the door to the ICU. Both felt guilty. How happend that? During they waited, Haley saw some nurses running nervously threw the corridor. She stood up and eavesdroped at the door to the nurses-room. She could only hear a few words from a radio or a tv-show:

"...I repeat,... some hospitals in and around New York, report that survivors of the terrible 217-accident yesterday afternoon, got a myterious disease. The doctors are clueless, they said they never saw this. And they don't know something about it: Is it deadly? Is it contagious? Who knows?..."

Haley ran back under shock. When she told Jake everything he was also totally shocked. A magical disease...befalls humans!

LaoShi talked via phone with the lab above the test-results. He was wondered. Was it a mistake?

"Are you sure?" LaoShi asked. "Type 1, the husband of my daughter has the pest. The 'magical version' of the pest!"

"Yes,... I'm so sorry! But there are also good news: He is not contagious! Type 1 is really 'harmless' but you should find the person who infected him..." the scientist explained.

"But how is it possible that a human get this?"

"We don't know it yet, sorry! But we will call you back in a couple of hours, good luck!" the person said and hang off.

LaoShi walked up and down and think about everything. Fu Dog appeared in the room, out of breath and switched the TV on.

"You... have to... see this!!!" Fu stammered.

"WHY?" LaoShi shouted angrily in cantonese before he understood what Fu meaned.

The ancorman told above around 20 sick people, all survivors of the same plane-crash Jonathan survived, who all feld into a coma. Everybody had the same symptoms, and got unconscinous at the same time.

"Now, we have a problem!" both said worried.

Jake walked in front of the entrace to the hospital and tryed to calm down. His human father is infected by a magical-disease. He took his mobile after he heared it ranging.

"Fu, what?" Jake asked with a angry voice.

"Jake, it's a epidemic!!! Nobody, leaves the hospital! We are on the way!" Fu explained fast and hang off.

"Say what?... hello... HELLO!!!" Jake only heared a beep.

When he look up, Jake could see a convoy of millitary-vehicles driving on the parking-lot. 'Aw man!' he said to himself and ran back into the building. Directly into his aunt!

"Jake...! It's all okay! He will become healty again. Let's go home, I cook for you and get some stuff for your father and..."

"NO!" Jake shouted on his aunt. "I mean... Gramp's bring it! He called me. Ahhh.... auntie Patty, ..." than Jake start to invent a good story. "...I'm a very sensitive young boy, who is worried above his father. Please, give me solace." Jake said and hug his aunt.

"Awwww.... come in my arms." Patchouli said. "I have a idea,... during we wait here, I tell you the story above my last trip to Europe...!"

"Yes, yes... okay, the main-thing is that we stay here. Inside... far away from the other, healty, people." Jake said before some soldiers in protection-suits entered the building and the people start to shout...

"It's in the news..., in the newspapers! And on all channels, from the USA, in Canada, and even on Al Dshasira.... Forget it! I give up! Do you know our problems!" she shouted angrily.

"Calm down! Okay, I agree! We met in one hour at the airfield outside the town! Be punctual!!!"
