Ivy shivered and sighed in relief. Her arms crossed, her hands on her shoulder, rubbing them to get warm.
The tension remained in the room for minutes until Kelly began to talk, "I must apologize. It's my responsibility. I didn't realize the general...sneak in." She paused, noticing Ivy's frown, "what's wrong?" She asked, aware of Ivy's expression, "Anthony." She said simply.
Not understanding, Kelly's face shown confusion until a shout in the lobby made her jump. "Stop him! Somebody! Anyone! STOP HIM!"
She turned to look at the door when the door slammed open and a figure ran in. The figure jumped on the bed, and hugged Ivy, hard.
"Okay umm... can't... breathe..." and exhaled when Anothony loosened his grip a little.
Kelly stomped over, trying to tug him away from Ivy when Ivy stopped her and said, "It's fine. He's a friend." Then she turned to the 8-year old boy and whispered, "Anthony, what on earth are you doing here?" Anthony replied (more like shouted), "I've looked for you everywhere!"
"That is not the question I asked, you are somehow breaking and entering!" Ivy half-smiled, trying to keep a stern face but is still happy to see him. Kelly stood there, open-mouthed, Ivy actually... smiled. She never expected to see her do that, at least, not so quickly.
They were interrupted by a man in a white cloak, like Kelly. He wore round glass and was slim and tall, also holding a clipboard in his hand, he walked in and stared at the two children, then turned to face Kelly. Kelly nodded her head in respect, "Dr. Rowen. May I help you?" She asked.
"Yes Wright. I need help examining the injuries of the other children."still glancing at them from time to time. "Of course. I will be there right away." She turned to Ivy, seeing her place a smile on her face, she exhaled in relief as she turned again to follow Mr. Rowen out of the room, closing the door gently, leaving the two figures alone.
