✮Z00ZY's great fall pt.2✮

YUKC0 carried the kid in his arms, holding his shirt round the kid's busted open. He was running after G0Z to the other clowns office to attend to the kid. YUKC0 looked down at the kid, feeling the color drain from his face each time he looked down. The kids eye was rolled back, half open. God, he felt awful for not believing the kid earlier! 

"Dear God, kid, i'm so sorry. . ." He mumbles to himself, feeling a burning behind his eyes. He and G0Z turned the corner into the office that was his own. YUKC0 carried him inside and onto the cot in the office. G0Z instantly looked around for his supplies.

"Okay, this- this is nothing I can't fix! Nothing father can't help me with!" YUKC0 glanced up at G0Z and grabbed his shoulders.

"For God's sake, G0Z, F*CK father Sun and help the kid!" the older clown yelled, making G0Z freeze up. He looked up at YUKC0, seeing the tears of pure terror on his face. Something in his mind clicked at that moment, and he realized that the situation was grimmer than he had originally thought.

As if he hadn't been thinking at all.

His eyes widened and he pulled away, grabbing gauze and disinfectant for wounds, and a pack of stitches. He threw on a new pair of gloves and turned to Z00ZY.

"Go."
"Wha- no! I ain't goin-"
"YUKC0, GET OUT."

G0Z snapped at him. YUKC0 had never seen that look on his face before. He looked down at the kid, before turning and leaving the room. G0Z needed to focus.

He'd let him.

MEANWHILE. . .

DISM0L and SN00TZ sat in the tent. DISM0L was holding SN00TZ, who was in shock and crying horribly. DISM0L's eyes behind his shades were nothing short of shocked. Pupils small and shrunken, eyes wide and glassy with unshed tears.

'How could this have happened?' He thought, his grip tightening on SN00TZ. 'No one came in. WE would've known, the cutouts would've gone off, someone would've seen them, something, anything, just a reason or explanation for HOW this just happened.'

He held SN00TZ even tighter, his knuckles white beneath his gloves and curling into SN00TZ's shirt. She pulled back from his embrace and looked up at him, shoulders shaking. She put her hands up, trembling through the signs.

'Is he gonna be okay?' 5 simple words that hurt DISM0L's heart more than ever. He looked down at the shorter woman, the genuine sadness and guilt shining in those purple eyes. He reached up and his index and thumb touched the frame of his shade. The shades slid off his face with the tug of his fingers, his eyes a dark onyx that she'd never seen fully before.

"I'm not sure, Darlin'. . but- I-I'm sure G0Z'll find a way. Don't he always?" 
'Yes, but-'

He grabbed her hands and held them in his larger ones.

"SN00TZ, look at me." She met his intense gaze, a single tear slipping down her face and dropping to the dusty floor.

"He will be fine. And if he won't be, may Father Sun kill me now if I'm lying, but I promise you, SN00TZ, he'll be okay."

----------------------------------------------------------

T00FERZ had been unaware of the whole thing. He had been in his office the whole time, sitting at his desk. He pushed his glasses up his nose, eyes half lidded and tired. He had half a mind to go to the tents and sleep through the rest of the day, but the work wasn't going to get itself done.

A little jingle of the bell on his door woke him up, along with the familiar heavy footsteps of the always drunken clown, and he sighed. 

"What do you want, YUK-" He paused, seeing the look of absolute distress on his face. His gaze wasn't one of the familiar drunkness he always saw, but one of pure guilt and sadness. He tilted his head. "What's wrong?"
