A World without Alex Russo
Chapter Ten: Captured
The blue Lexus car parks near the hospital as the assassin steps out of the vehicle. He looks around and then pulls out the magic tracker from his car system. He looks at the device beeping slowly as it shows the flashing red dot somewhere in the hospital. He looks toward the hospital as the device continues beeping in a rhythm.
"Hmm… Now I need a disguise…" he tells himself and takes out a crystal wand. He whirls it around his head, as he becomes Uncle Kelbo. He looks at his reflection in the window of his car and said with an evil grin in Kelbo's voice, "Perfect…"
Back at the storage closet, Justin and Harper see a doctor staring at them from the doorway.
"What are you two doing in here?" the doctor demands them for an answer. Harper looks at Justin for an answer. Justin was trying think of something.
Finally, Justin steps forward and answers the doctor, "Umm… we are… medical interns and one of the doctors told us to get something for him here."
"Which doctor?" the doctor questions him while staring at him intently.
"Umm… doctor… " he stutters as his eyes shift all over the closet looking for something he can use. He spots a bunch of empty needles "Umm… Syringe! Yeah! Doctor Syringe told us to get… the flu shot needles," he nervously responds back.
The doctor stares at him and Justin thought they were caught, but then the doctor chuckles and said, "Oh that doctor Syringe! Always sending his interns off on wild goose chases!" Justin and Harper laughs nervously with him. He chuckles some more and tells them, "The flu shot needles aren't stored here! In fact I am pretty sure Doctor Syringe already has the needles!"
"Ohh… he got us!" Justin chuckles with him.
"Yeah… he did," Harper, laughs nervously along.
"Okay, well I just needed to get this," the doctor said and grabs a bag filled with medical things. Before he leaves, he turns to them one more time. Then he chuckles while shaking his head and leaves the storage room. Justin and Harper breathe a sigh of relief and follow him out.
At the waiting room, after the police officers had left, Jerry and Theresa ponder over what they just found out.
"Jerry, what are you thinking about?" Theresa asks him while looking at him. "Jerry?"
He looks up startled and said, "Oh… sorry Theresa, I'm trying to figure out who would be after Alex."
"Shouldn't it be why someone is after her?" she asks him.
He turns to her with a serious look and she said, "Right, we already know why they are after her."
He nods and said, "Yeah, now we just have to figure out who is after her."
"Mom! Dad!" someone shouts over at them. They look up and see Justin running over with Harper right behind him.
"Justin! What happened to you before? Why did you run off like that?" Theresa asks him when they got there.
"It's a long story, I will tell you later mom, "he said to her. "Right now, I got something important to tell you guys."
"Yeah us too, Alex's accident wasn't an accident, it was on purpose," his dad tells him. His parents were surprised he wasn't surprised or shocked at all.
"Sooo… that explains why me and Harper almost just got ran over before!" he shouts out loud. Everybody in the hospital looks at them strangely. "Uhh… I mean... me and Harper saw a rabbit ran… pass us before…" They go back to doing what they were doing before.
Jerry motions for them to go into Alex's room. They follow him in the room. Max was in the room eating a Milky Way bar.
Theresa runs up to him and hugs him tightly, "Max! I'm so glad your okay!"
Max looks surprised and said with his hands out, "Whoa mom! I just went to get a snack!" Jerry turns to his oldest son.
"What do you mean you almost just got ran over?!" Jerry asks him.
"The same car that hit Alex before, just tried to run over me and Harper!" he responds back.
"Oh my gosh! Are you okay honey?" Theresa goes over to him and puts her hand on his shoulder.
He turns to his mom, "Yeah, I am fine mom. Harper and me got out of the way in time." Jerry starts pacing back and forth. Suddenly, he stops and shouts out, "Okay this all makes sense now! Someone ran Alex over on purpose for some reason and is now trying to run you over for that same reason. But the question is what that reason is."
"I have a feeling we are going to find out what that is soon," Justin tells them.
The fake Kelbo enters the hospital and causally approaches the desk. The receptionist was typing on the keyboard when she sees him and turns to him.
She smiles and asks, "Hello, who are you here to see?"
He smiles back nicely and answers, "I'm here to see Alex Russo, I heard she was in a terrible accident and hope she is okay."
"She is doing fine, but can I see some identification please?" she asks him.
"Yeah sure, I'm Alex's uncle, "he takes out his wallet and shows her a fake ID card.
She looks at the ID card and then at him, "Okay Mr. Russo, you can go see Alex, she's in room 103. Enjoy your visit."
"Oh I will," he smiles evilly and walks toward room 103.
While Jerry, Theresa and Max decide what to do next, Justin notices Harper looking at Alex with sad eyes. He goes over to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey… You okay Harper?" he asks her.
She looks up at him and answers, "Yeah, I'm fine." She looks back at her best friend. He also watches Alex laying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed as the heart rate monitor beeps in a rhythm.
"You're worry about Alex? Justin asks Harper.
Harper turns to him and said, "What if she never wakes up from her coma, Justin? I don't know what I will do without her…" He sees that Harper is really upset over the fact Alex may never wake up again.
He takes her hand and looks at her in the eyes, "Don't worry Harper and if I know Alex, she will make it through this."
"How do you know that? What if she stays in a coma forever?" she asks him with a worried look.
"Because… it's Alex… She never gives up, especially on herself," he answers her with a small smile. Harper smiles back and hugs him. Justin is surprised by the hug, but unlike other times, she tried to hug him, this time he embraces it warmly.
Kelbo was near room 103 when he sees the room doorknob turn as he quickly hides behind the door to a stairway. He peeks from the stairway and sees Justin and Harper walk out of the room together.
"Want me to go with you?" Justin asks her.
She shakes her head and answers back, "Nah, I will be fine by myself. Thanks."
He smiles back and said, "Your welcome and get me a drink and a snack also! Hurry back! You don't want Alex waking up without you here right?"
She chuckles and tells him, "Yeah, I don't want that to happen."
Justin laughs and walks back into the room. He sees his parents smiling at him and Max grinning at him.
"What?" he asks them and walks over to Alex.
Harper watches him go in and then she walks toward the waiting room. She walks pass different rooms. She sees the snack machine in the distance. She walks toward it passing the door to the stairs. Suddenly, the door of the stairway opens up fast as hands shot out and grabs her roughly in the stairway.
"Hel-"Harper starts to scream out, but that's all she could manage to say before a hand goes over her mouth. There is muffled screaming as she struggles against her captive, but then her eyes slowly closes. The last thing she sees is a crystal wand hovering over her as everything went black.
Back at room 103, Justin is wondering why Harper is taking so long with the snacks and drinks.
"Hmm… Harper is taking a while getting the snacks and drinks," Justin said after a while.
"Why don't you just go check up on her Justin? Maybe she is having trouble getting the snacks out of the machine," Theresa tells him.
"Yeah, she does… have trouble with that," Justin chuckles and turns to leave when his cell phone starts to vibrate. "That's probably Harper," he chuckles again. He looks at the caller id on his phone and sees it says Harper Finkle. He smiles and tells them, "Yep, it is Harper all right." He picks up the phone and said, "Okay, Harper I know you need help getting the snacks out of the machine! I will be right there to help you!" There was no answer back except a faint breathing in the background. "Hello? Harper?" he said into the phone. Theresa looks at Jerry with a worried look. "Harper!!" he screams into the phone.
Finally, someone says, "Hello… Justin Russo."
"Who is this?! And what have you done with Harper! If you hurt one hair on her body, I swear I will-"he starts to tell the guy angrily when the guy interrupts him.
"Relax Justin, she is fine. And she will continue to be fine if you just listen to me carefully," the guy tells him.
"Fine, what do I have to do?" he asks the guy.
"You have something I want Justin," the guy tells him.
"What do you want?"
"I want the microchip."
"Huh? What?? What microchip?"
"Ask your sister, she knows."
"But she's in a coma! How is she going to tell me?!"
"Not my problem. Bring the microchip to the back of your school in an hour and don't even think about getting the cops involved or you will never see your precious girlfriend again," he tells Justin.
"But wait-"Justin protests back.
"Tick tock Justin, tick tock…" that is all the guy says before Justin hears a dial tone.
