The Miracle Clinic

Chapter 41 - The East Side (8)

"Well, this was harder than I thought it was going to be," Ronnie admits.

As Ronnie, Elizabeth, & Alex all look toward Graham, Marcus looks toward the door that's passed him.

"Since Blanko & Graham are here, that must mean Vanessa's behind that door," Marcus says.

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" Blanko asks as he walks over, also getting ready to fight the group.

"Because you just told them," Graham tells Blanko.

"DAMN IT!" Blanko says.

Ronnie looks over to Marcus and says, "You go to the door, we'll hold these people off."

"You sure?" Marcus asks.

"Of course bub!" Alex remarks as he gets in a boxing stance, "We can take care of these nobodies!"

"Yeah, don't worry about us and get going!" Elizabeth remarks.

Alex and Blanko rush toward one another and exchange blows while Elizabeth & Ronnie begin their attack on Graham. Now with the opportunity, Marcus rushes through toward the long hallway. However when he is about to reach the hallway he feels his legs get lifted off the ground.

"Huh?" Marcus remarks as he realizes Graham is holding him up by the shirt.

"Sorry but you aren't going any further!" Graham remarks as he holds Marcus in place.

"Hey let go of him!" Ronnie reacts as he goes to punch Graham only for his meaty hand to catch Ronnie's fist, "Whu-"

Graham effortlessly tosses Ronnie away. However with him distracted Elizabeth manages to sneak in and deliver a kick straight into Graham's right calf.

"Didn't see that coming did ya!" Elizabeth remarks.

With his grip on Marcus loosened, the scrawny teen manages to break free and run down the hall. Graham tries to go after him however when he does so he feels a punch land on his face from Ronnie.

"Did you forget about us!" Ronnie yells as he goes for another punch.

Graham sighs as he turns to face the two teens.

"Have it your way then," Graham remarks.

As Marcus rushes down the hall, he manages to finally reach the door only to see it has a keypad lock on it which requires a three digit combination.

"Oh come on!" Marcus groans as he tries every possible combination.

Meanwhile, over at the main downstairs area, Alex is throwing jab after jab toward Blanko, however the freckled teen manages to bob and weave through each attack, avoiding them with ease.

"So you know a thing or two about boxing, aye?" Alex asks as he attempts a left hook.

"A little but it isn't exactly my specialty," Blanko begins to say as he avoids the left hook.

Alex gets ready for another hook however just as he's about to do so, his vision is obscured by Blanko's leg as the freckled teen performs a hook kick, sending the leg careening into Alex's face.

"That'll have to go to kickboxing!"

Blanko goes to move his leg back however it won't budge.

"Is that so?" Alex asks as after taking the hit he grabbed onto the teen's leg with one of his arms, "Since you wanna talk so much, how about I let you in on something a friend of mine taught me!"

Blanko tries to have his leg escape Alex's grip, but it can't until Alex delivers a punch to his gut.

"You don't always have to aim for the face!" Alex yells as he goes for another gut punch.
