Stay Chill

Little Drop Of Poison In The Mist

The kids and Lynn Sr looked concerned and confused by what just happened from Rita, who sounded shocked and scared while talking on the phone. "Okay, okay, we'll go over there right away. Thank you sir, bye." she hung up the phone and rushed back into the kitchen. "Kids, we need to go to the hospital." she urgently said to them

"Why? What's wrong?" asked Leni

"It's Pop Pop. He's been... poisoned somehow." Rita admitted. The kids and father gasped hearing the dreaded news.

"Poisoned?" They all said in unison.

"How?" Lynn asked

"I don't know. That's why we need to go over there and check on him." Rita explained. "Just put your breakfast aside and get ready to go to the hospital." the kids and the father all put their foods in the fridge and immediately got ready to check on Pop Pop, and see how badly he was poisoned, and they all hoped that he was feeling alright, and it was not too late to try and save him from the angel of death.

Everyone got in Vanzilla as fast as they could and Rita was the one driving the car down the hospital. Poor Rita was very worried about this, since she was Albert's daughter, and she did not want him to die now. At last, when they arrived at the hospital, the parents asked the room where Albert was and they went to the seventh floor on the west wing of the health facility.

There laid Albert, looking weak and his veins turning purple. Poor Myrtle was sitting right next to him on the right, holding his right hand with her own pair. "Come on, Al. You need to pull through."

All the kids gasped seeing their grandfather in this poor condition that he was going through right now.

Rita sat on the left as fast as she could, and she felt like crying seeing how bad her own father looked like, whatever poisoned him. "Dad!" she said

"Pop Pop, are you okay?" Lincoln asked him

"Ah." Albert moaned. "I've been... poisoned by something, Lincoln, and... I have no idea what it is."

"Come on Pop Pop, you have to pull through." said Lola

The old man made a small chuckle boldly. "I'm tough as nails, sweetie. "You all know that better than anyone else." He looked at his veins that still looked purple around his limbs.

"Can you tell us how you were poisoned?" asked Lucy

"well, when eating breakfast, I was just having a nice meal of Belgian waffles in the rest hall, and all of a sudden, while drinking my prune juice, i felt something painful inside my heart, and... I suffered a heart attack and collapsed."

Everyone besides Myrtle gasped again. "Who could have poisoned you, dad?" Rita asked, with a few tears going down her face in desperation.

"Well, we don't know who," said the Asian doctor. He appeared Vietnamese or somewhere southeast Asian. His name tag was labeled: "Doctor Hoo" on it. "But we discovered a very deadly toxin that is very rare in the United States. It is a toxin called "Monoxupop" It is usually found in the venom of a Horned Scorpion. A very rare and very aggressive arachnid from Australia. A tiny drop of venom was dripped into his prune juice, and he has been vomiting as well.

Speaking of which, Albert felt something with his stomach again, and picked up a trash can that was empty of any trash, except for vomit, and Albert added more to it from his mouth. "Oh my gosh." he grunted.

"Poor dad." Rita said.

"So someone must have put the Monoxupop toxins in his beverage. It was clear that someone did this on purpose, and highly unlikely that you would find that in your everyday Prune liquids." Lisa speculated.
