Chapter 3: Word gets out.

Eli laid on the bed, motionless and Zoe has noticed that he hasn't woken up but she hoped he would. She gets his broken arm to the front and ripped the cloth away from it and winced visibly. The skin was black and blue but it didn't seem like there was bone showing. She used some cloth to make a sling and gently put Eli's arm in it.
"What are you doing Zoe? I told you that he's a stranger"Tommy said.
"Tommy, he's hurt, if we hadn't found him, he could be in worse shape than he is already."Zoe said back.
Tommy was sure that Eli was going to be a burden. He just wished that Zoe could see it.

Zoe started to tend to the other injures and started to clean a long gash in Eli's back. He didn't stir when she was cleaning it. 'He's lucky we found him, I don't want to think at what would've happened if we hadn't' She thought. then she bandaged the wound, careful not to jar his arm. When she was done, she tucked Eli into bed and retrieved her journal from its hiding place.

She started to write.

Dear Journal, My patient hasnt woken, I hope he does. He really lucky to survive that fall. I wonder who he is. He looks really nice. When he wakes, it will be a while until he can start walking again. I will help him as much as i can. But I wish Tommy would not treat him as a burden. He isnt.

Signed, Zoe

She put her Journal away and went out of the room to let Eli sleep.

With the rest of the Shane Gang~

Trixie looked at Kord and Pronto. "Where is he? He's not with those teens"she said. Kord nodded. "Yeah...I hope he's alright."He said. "Why are you so worried?"Pronto asked. "He's obviously gotten into something that its hard to get back out of"He said. Trixie glared. "Not helping pronto" she said. She wondered if Eli was okay.

Somewhere Else~

Twist had been with the group that The Shane Gang had interrogated but he hadn't spoken. He noticed ow they didn't have a certain member. Blakk would need to hear about this. He grinned and stood up, leaving the other teens and going to give Dr. Blakk his report. He got on his Mecha and drove off to Blakk's headquarters.

At Blakk Industries~

When Twist made it to Blakk Industries, he made Lokey turn off the disgiuse and walked into the door. He walked down the halls that led to the center of the building. He saw Blakk standing in front a large wall that held Ghouled slugs. "Dr. Blakk, i have some news you might like to hear" Twist said. Blakk turned around to look at Twist. "whats this news?" He asked.

"well, I met the Shane Gang while going throught the caverns. But they were missing a member" Twist said.

"A member you say?" Blakk said, coming to stand close to Twist. "and which member would that be?"

"Eli Shane, sir" Twist replied. Blakk grinned and turned away from Twist. "I will take advantage of the situation." he said, calling for one of his men. A man came in and didnt look at Twist. "Gather your men and search for Eli Shane. Bring him to me, alive" Blakk said. The man nodded and Blakk motioned for the man to leave. The man left.

When the man left, Blakk turned to Twist. "stall The Shane Gang, put up false trails to get them on a wld goose chase. I will get Shane before they do" he said "yes sir," Twist said. "you may go" Blakk said and Twist left.

Blakk grinned and looked at his ghouled slugs. "The hunt for Eli Shane has begun" he said
