I own nothing but Devil's Glare.
Now as I always say… on with the story
Kim POV
We walked down the hallways of the hospital, the walls were either white or a light shade of yellow and the flooring was all wooden.
Seaford hospital is known for being big; it is around twenty stories high, each containing a different ward.
We entered a hallway on the 16th story, which were all private rooms.
According to the receptionist Jack was in room 98.
"When Jack wakes up I'm so going to kill him!" heaved Jerry when we reached the hallway.
I rolled my eyes, Eddie laughed.
After what felt like an hour, we finally reached room 98 and outside was a nurse with brown hair tied back into a bun, she wore a uniform that was totally blue and in her hands she held a blue clipboard.
She smiled when we walked up to the door.
"Hello, you must be Rudy, you must be here to visit Jack?" she presumed.
Rudy nodded, "Yes,"
She continued to smile, yet said nothing.
We stood there for a while in an awkward silence before I asked "Sooo… can we go in?"
She shook her head "I'm sorry not for around five minutes, the doctors are still trying to figure out what's wrong with him," she looked at the floor her face grave.
"What do they think is wrong?" asked Jerry, who for once actually seemed interested in the answer.
The nurse continued to look at the floor and we returned to awkward silence.
"Well?" Eddie piped in,
She sighed, "I am not sure how to tell you this but…" she met each of our eyes and she looked shaken with worry.
"Tell us what!" I yelled in frustration, "What is wrong with Jack!"
She gave another sigh before saying the words we could never have expected…
"We think Jack's been poisoned,"
"WHAT!" we yelled.
X-X-X
A man walked out of room 98 around two minutes later, we were all sitting in the waiting room right at the end of the hallway, biting our nails from the anticipation.
The man walked up to us and kneeled down in front of me, He had grey hair and a short, grey beard, with brownish glasses and a wrinkled face.
He was clearly not too young.
He didn't meet me in the eyes though I noticed he was clearly stressed, I figured this out from the beads of sweat that were running down his face.
"What are the results of the test?" asked Rudy who was sitting next to me.
He sighed, "According to the test we are afraid Jack has indeed been poisoned,"
It was more of a shock the second time, at least the first time we had a little hope that the test would come back negative.
"It seems he has consumed a large amount of poison called Devils glare," the doctor continued.
I heard Milton who was sitting on the other side of me stifle a cry.
"Will he live?" I asked glumly trying to find some hope.
He shook his head, "Not unless we find the person who did this to him,"
Hot tears blurred my vision as I tried my best not to cry.
Milton was already in tears.
"Why?" asked Rudy his voice shaky.
"Because the only available treatment for Devil's glare is itself," The doctor responded.
"But Devil's Glare is terribly rare in fact there isn't another plant that makes it still in the world,"
"However the person who did this might still have some,"
Great I thought now all we need to do is find an attempted murderer how safe could this get.
Yet I didn't give up hope.
"Do you have any of it?" I pleaded.
He bit his lip, "I do but not much, it's only enough to keep him awake for an hour or so,"
All of our faces lit up at this, "Can we use it?" asked Eddie
He thought for a moment and took in our pleading faces.
He sighed again, "Fine, I will come get you when I have given it to him," he smiled.
"Thank you so much," we all replied in union.

Jack POV
I awoke to find myself staring into blackness,
"I think he's coming through now," a friendly female voice said.
"Jack wake up," the voice belonged to Rudy.
I groaned before I tried to open my eyes, it was hard at first but soon managed to open them.
Through my blurred vision I saw the outline of five people; I blinked twice to clear my sight and noticed the people were Rudy, Kim, Milton, Eddie and Jerry.
"Jack!" they all squealed and smothered me in hugs, even Jerry gave me a quick one.
"Hi," I greeted my voice was weak and shaking and their happy faces dropped slightly.
I rubbed the back of my head "Where am I?" I asked.
"You're in a hospital Jack," a voice said, I looked over Eddie's shoulder and saw a nurse, her brown hair tied back in a bun and she had a broad smile on her face.
"Do you remember anything?" the nurse asked.
I thought for a moment, trying to see if I could remember the earlier events then I remembered, I remembered winning a green belt, I remembered talking about the match in Falafel Phil's, I remembered Frank's strange mood and then I remembered that feeling, the feeling that I was about to die ….
"What happened to me?" I asked,
Everyone turned quiet.
"Ummm… you were poisoned Jack…" Rudy answered, my eyes widened in horror.
"WHAT!"
I take it Jack has took it well lol :)
What do you think will happen? Tell me in the reviews.
