Stuck In The Box: Graduation Day

Chapter 5: Stay Below

In the hospital, Dr Hayley and her team were busy looking after a patient in the intensive care unit when Dr Hayley got a call from someone. "Guys, someone is calling me," Dr Hayley said. Dr O'Connor, Dr Mills, Dr Lynch and Dr Chen all looked at each other. "What's going on, Anne?" Dr Chen asked. "It's Henry," Dr Hayley said. "Go ahead," Dr O'Connor said, allowing Dr Hayley to leave the room and pick up the phone. "Henry, what's going on?" Dr Hayley asked. "We were under attack and Roland and Tony were poisoned, you need to come to Basildon right now," Henry said on the phone. "Poisoned?" Dr Hayley asked. "Yeah, they were stung by a red-eyed, you have to come here quick, Roland is getting sicker and I fear Tony might have to amputate his leg," Henry said.

"I'll be there, just let me grab my team," Dr Hayley said before she hung up. The stress from previous days have been catching up to her ever since she and her team transferred to the paediatric intensive care unit. "Anne, you alright?" Alex asked. "Not really, Alex, we've been aiding a patient who is at end stage respiratory failure and there was an alien invasion in Basildon," Dr Hayley said. "I'll get the team for you, go ahead to the ambulance where you can rest," Alex said. "We need two, it's Tony and Roland this time," Dr Hayley said. "Okay, go ahead, I'll get your team," Alex said. Dr Hayley then went to the passenger seat of the ambulance, sat down and broke down into tears. She was so stressed out from her shift in the intensive care unit, she wanted to explode.

Back in Basildon Academy, Chris was trying his best to prevent the poison from flowing by using his powers. "Any luck?" Roger asked. The Wild Boys had transformed back into their human forms and went back to their civilian outfits. "I'm getting tired, Rog," Chris said. "Don't worry everyone, help is on the way," Henry said. "I sure hope it does," Kim said. Curt just held on to Roland in his arms, not wanting to let him go. Soon, Dr Hayley and her team arrived. "Oh my goodness, what happened here?" Dr Hayley asked, noticing how ruined the auditorium was. "It seems like there was a party here," Dr Chen said. "Thank goodness you guys are here," Henry said as he ran up to Dr Hayley and her team. "Henry, what happened here?" Dr O'Connor asked.

"The Wild Boys and the entire school were having a graduation party because the older ones were going to graduate," Mr McCartney said. "It's no wonder," Dr Mills said. Dr Hayley then ran up to Curt who was holding on to Roland and placed Roland on a stretcher. "Roland!" Curt exclaimed before he broke down in tears. George and John went up to him and comforted him. "Curt, it'll be alright," George said. "He should've told you guys," Curt said through his tears. "Told us what?" John asked. "Curt, what are you on about?" George asked in concern. "He has gastroparesis," Curt said. "Who has gastroparesis?" Andy asked. "Roland," Curt answered. "Curt, everyone has a hidden disability and didn't want to tell anyone," Nik said.

"He only told me but he never wanted to tell any of you about his condition," Curt said. "So you knew all this time that Roland suffers from gastroparesis?" Kate asked. "Yes," Curt said. "Steve, how's Tony?" Martin asked. "I don't know for sure but they might operate on his knee," Steve (Norman) said. "I can recall that it was his faulty knee," Gary (Kemp) said. "Faulty knee?" Steve (Norman) asked. "Do you want to know why he's very tall? He was an athlete but he had to quit after injuring that knee that was stung," Gary (Kemp) said. "No wonder," Steve (Norman) said. "I pray both of them will recover," Bono said. "Wild Boys, me and the teachers will go to our office and if we have the chance, we'll visit you in the hospital," Mr McCartney said. The Wild Boys nodded, allowing the teachers to go back to their office.

"What about you, Lord Henry?" Larry asked. "I'm staying for a while, I can't just go back to another Aer Lingus flight unless Bob books for me," Henry said. "Let's go to the hospital," Kim said. Billy and Howard helped David off stage since he needed a wheelchair. The Wild Boys went out of the auditorium. It was already night time and all the students had already gone back to their dorms. Including the graduates. The graduates will still stay in their dorms but they have the option to go out before the upcoming camp. "Wow, so much time has passed," Morten said. "I know," Magne said. "So, where are we going?" David asked. "We're heading to the bus stop, let's go," Andrew said. "The bus stop? What for?" Gary (Webb) asked. "We're going to the hospital, come on," Susanna said.
