Elsa and Anna wasted no time taking Jack back to his home while Rapunzel rushed to Dr. Baymax's office for help. Baymax then rushed over to Jack's house bringing Kristoff, who's leg was wrapped up in a cast with him.
When Baymax arrived Jack was laying in bed wrapped under a blanket. He was sweating from head to toe and Elsa had a cold wet rag placed over Jack's forehead to try to keep him cool. Jack's eyes was closed and his breathing was heavy, and Baymax could tell just by looking at him that his condition had worsened.
"Give us two the room please." Baymax said when he arrived. "I'll let you back in when I am ready." The others nodded and walked into Jack's guest room, Anna helped Kristoff to the guest room considering he still had trouble walking on his crutches.
For the next five minutes no one said a word, Elsa just sat in a chair staring silently at the ground. She tried hard not to look worried but Anna could tell by her wide eyes and her slouched position that she was worried for Jack and Anna couldn't help but feel concerned as well. It was that concern that finally broke the silence.
"Do you think he is going to be OK?" Anna asked
"No he won't" Elsa said, a small tear coming from her eye. "He's dying."
"How do you know?" Rapunzel said
"Because he told me himself." Elsa said "When I first came to him asking for his help. He didn't won't to take the case. Told me he had cancer and that it was slowly killing him. I was persistent though and persuaded him to take the case anyway. I didn't put his health into consideration because I wanted so badly for him to find Pitch. Now he is in no shape to fight anymore, and I am left without no one to track Pitch and them down."
"That's not true Elsa you got us." Kristoff said, "And Reid is doing everything he can to stop them as well."
"No offense Kristoff but you really aren't in any shape to fight." Elsa said "And Reid is no Jack Frost. Jack was the best before the cancer got a hold of him, no one could do what he could."
"Keep up the faith Elsa," Kristoff said "This isn't over."
"I don't even know if I have faith." Elsa said. It was then that Baymax walked in to deliver the news. By the looks of his face however Baymax didn't need to say a word for Elsa to figure it out. It wasn't good.
"I ain't going to sugar coat it." Baymax said "It's bad."
"How bad?" Elsa asked
"The cancer has gotten worse and has spread to his liver and lungs."
"Is their anything you can do for him?" Anna asked
"I'm afraid not. The best I can do is help take care of his needs for the remainder of his life but other than that there is nothing. I know you may not like to here this but at most he has maybe a couple of moths left."
"Why couldn't he even remember me?" Elsa asked, "We have been through so much these past few days?"
"The majority of the cancer is in his brain." Baymax said "And as is get's worse his body starts shutting down more and more, and with is the brain will experience symptoms of memory loss."
"Will it come back?" Rapunzel asked
"Eventually, but even when it does I can't promise it will stay that way. As it continues to get worse the spells will continue to get worse and worse until he dies. I'm sorry."
Elsa heard all she could handle and she instantly broke down in tears and cried in Anna's shoulders. As Anna wrapped her comforting arms around Elsa she thanked Baymax for all he was doing.
Once Elsa finally calmed down about four minutes later she walked up to where Jack was laying in his bed, still sweaty with the damp wash cloth over his head. Jack's eyes were closed at first but when he heard the sounds of foot steps he slowly opened them.
"Are you a angle here to take me to heaven?" Jack asked in a faint voice, letting Elsa know that he still didn't have his memory thus not recognizing her.
"No, Jack I'm not." Elsa said in a sweet loving voice taking a seat next to Jack.
"Oh, well then your pretty cute for a demon then." Jack said causing Elsa to have a slight chuckled.
"No Jack, I'm neither a angle nor a demon. Your not dead yet, your in your own home, don't you recognize it?"
"No." Jack said. Jack then started coughing and between coughs he asked for a cup of water. Elsa quickly ran to the kitchen and got Jack some water and when she got back she helped hold Jack's head up as she slowly poured the soothing liquid down Jack's throat."
"Angel." Jack said to Elsa "Please don't leave me angel, please."
"I won't" Elsa promised, "I won't leave you."
A few minutes later Reid arrived at Jack's house completely unaware of the current events, luckily Baymax was still around to help catch him up with the help of Rapunzel and Anna.
"Wait so Jack's dieing?" Reid said.
"Yes." Rapunzel said "And we don't know how long he has. You are going to have to do a lot of the hard work for here on out."
"So what did you find out?" Anna asked
"Well I did find the dress that Hans wore to frame you." Reid said "Now I just need to bring it to Mayor North's attention and warn him about Nottingham."
"Do you think he will believe you?" Anna said
"Who knows but I need to at least warn him."
"You go talk to him. Let him in on what's going on, offer him protection and guard him all night if you have to just warn him about the upcoming danger." Anna said "The rest of us will stay here and take care of Jack."
"Be safe." Reid said then he left the house and rode off to warn Mayor North about the upcoming danger.
Mayor North had been the Mayor of Colby Texas for four years and saying that his run was anything less but stressful would be the understatement of the year. During his time as mayor he had witnessed a spike in crime and murders including the death of several good rangers as well as the deaths of the old sheriff, judge, and deputy all to the hands of the Pitch Black gang. His failure to stop the terror gang had hurt his approval rating and with election season coming up, he feared that his failure would undoubtedly hurt his chances at reelection.
As Mayor North set in his office going over some files he was suddenly interrupted by Reid bursting through the door wearing the mask that he used earlier to interrogate Cavendish. The sight of a masked man bursting into his office undoubtedly startled North who instantly reached for his gun.
"No need to reach for your gun mayor," Reid said "I am not here to hurt you, just here to talk."
"What is it that you want?" North asked, still weary of the masked man who entered his office.
"I am here to warn you that your life is in serious danger."
"How so?" North asked
"You know the recent strings of deaths that has been happening lately by the hands of the Pitch Black gang? How the gang has killed the old sheriff, deputy, and warden?"
"Do you take me as some sort of fool masked man? Of course I am aware of that, I am the mayor of this town."
"Those murders weren't just random murders, they were hit jobs issued by Pitch so that he could put one of there on men in charge. Pitch is slowly taking control of Colby and I have reason to believe that you are their next target."
"Back up a second there cowboy, you are saying that Hades, Frollo, and Nottingham are all involved with Pitch?" North asked
"As well as nearly all of the Texas Rangers" Reid added "Think about it North, how else have they been able to get away with their crime spree for so long, unless they have someone in power to cover up their crimes."
"Even if I did believe you, which I'm not sure if I can, how can I be so sure that you are not one of them?"
"Because I came here to warn you." Reid said "Plus I bring you some evidence to prove my claim." Reid then placed Anna's dress and the fake wig Hans wore to frame her on North's desk. "I found this in Hans's closet. Hans set Anna up in hopes to get control of the Winters's ranch. Hans took out Mrs. Winters life insurance disguised as Anna before murdering Mrs. Winters and burning down her ranch. Hans made sure that Anna would be framed for the crime so that when she hung they would get their hands on their land. Pitch see's the money that can come from these ranches and is working hard to get his hands on every ranch here in Colby so he can control the prices of the food that comes from it."
North rubbed his temple as he took a deep breath, taking in the information that the masked man was spilling to him. "I've expected that Pitch was trying to get his hands on the ranches for a long time, I tried to have Nottingham investigate it but he said there was no proof that the ranches were taken by force."
"That's because Nottingham is involved."
"How can you prove that?" North said
"I am working on it but first I need you to trust me." Reid said. "Your life is in danger I can offer you protection for the time being."
North sighed, he didn't know if he could trust this man, and he really didn't feel comfortable with the idea of him as a body guard, but still if what he was saying was true then as much as he hated to admit it, he would need him.
"OK I'll take you up on your offer. But you better be wrong about this."
Elsa was still standing over Jack as he laid in bed, when she heard something she didn't know if she would here again, Jack mentioning her name.
"Elsa," Jack whispered.
"Jack, Oh my god you actually remember me?"
"How could I ever forget you?" Jack replied. Elsa thought about bringing up Jack's memory loss but decided against it.
"How are you feeling"
"Like hell." Jack said "The cancer is getting worse isn't it?"
"Baymax said it has spread to you liver and lungs, and that you got two months at best."
"Doesn't surprise me."
"Jack, please you can't die, you are tough you can fight this." Elsa pleaded, which Jack responded with a slight chuckled.
"Death is a enemy not even I can fight my dear." Jack said
"But this isn't fair though. You don't deserve this."
"Lesson number one sweetheart life isn't fair." Jack said "Elsa, promise me that when I am gone you won't mourn over me. Promise me you will stay strong." Elsa tearfully nodded agreeing to try to stay strong. Jack spotted the tears falling from Elsa's eyes and stretched out his right hand to dry them away. It was right then that Jack noticed for the first time just how pretty Elsa was, and how her face glowed with the sunbeam shining from the open window.
"You will make someone a good wife one day Elsa. Promise me that when I am gone you will find yourself a great man to merry, have beautiful kids and live a happy life, you deserve happiness."
"So do you." Elsa said
"It was never safe for me to be happy Elsa" Jack said "I always believed in my line of work that it was never safe for me to find love and raise a family. Because I knew every time I ran off that there was a chance I wouldn't come back. And the last thing I wanted was for my family to worry about me. Plus there was the chance that some one would use my family to get to me, and I don't know how I would handle someone killing my wife or children just to get to me. That's why I never found love Elsa, for me it was to dangerous."
"Is this because of what happened to Sophie." Elsa asked and Jack gave a small nod.
"I loved Sophie Elsa, and to see her brutally murdered the way she was, I just knew I could never let something like that happen to anyone I loved again, which is why I avoided love all my life."
"Everyone deserves love." Elsa said
"Sorry Elsa, but not everyone."
The two of them remained silent for a couple minutes before Jack finally broke the silence again.
"Elsa, can you get me a pen from my desk and a sheet of paper, I would like to do some writing for a little bit."
"Sure" Elsa nodded and got up and left the room. Elsa returned a minute later with a sheet of paper, a pen and a bowl of ink as well as a book for him to use as a hard surface.
"Thank you Elsa, can you give me some privacy for a bit."
"Whatever you want." Elsa said then she left the room and gave Jack some privacy.
Jack stared at the sheet of paper for a few seconds before slowly dipping the pen in ink and started writing.
Jack's will. Jack wrote on the top of the paper.
As my last will in statement. I Jack Frost leave all my possessions that I have too..."
Jack then felt his arms trembling and head pounding, he couldn't finish writing. As Jack moaned about the pain the bowl of ink dropped to the floor and Jack passed out there in bed.
The sound of the bowl dropping got Elsa's attention and she instantly came in to check on him. She saw Jack laying on the bed, eyes closed and ran to check if he was still breathing which to her relief he was.
Deciding to let him rest she removed the paper and pen from his bed. Not checking what the paper said thinking it was none of her business. She then grabbed a towel and cleaned up the spilled ink from the hardwood floor. As soon as she was done she sat beside Jack again and watched as he slept.
As Jack slept Elsa started admitting to herself something she didn't realize till now, she was falling for him. And not just because she took pity on him or because of the fact that he was helping track down Pitch but she was literally falling for him.
As Jack slept there in bed Elsa bent down and kissed Jack on the forehead. "Sleep well Jack Frost." Then Elsa quietly left the room only to return a minute earlier topless and only in her underwear. Elsa then scooted Jack over gently and joined him under the cover giving Jack one last kiss on the top of his head before falling asleep with him there in bed.
