It was lonely, the air so clear if felt thick. It was a terrible place, a place of death and a place of life. Everything was white, everything was clean, too clean so that it felt as if you couldn't breathe. Brooks lay in that hospital bed looking alerted and awake. He didn't seem very sick that day he's been much worse, yet this was the time, in particular, the doctor's decided he was very sick. Brooks read from his book as he waited for Agustin to get there. Dylan had to leave to switch places with him so Aman wouldn't be alone. Brooks just waited and read, he found the book exciting and although he was now 16, it was every boy dream adventure and he still had a bit of that boyish imagination.

"Flying Cyrus had a mission to complete, he needed what Leatherman called a new inner essence. He told him to search for it and that no doctor or any other mortal could find it. He needed to find it himself."

Back at the house, Dylan had switched places with Agustin who was now on his way to the Hospital. By then Javier was off of work so decided to make dinner. They were all panicked about Brooks, he was only 16 and already very ill. 

"Is he going to be alright?" Aman asked Dylan who paced the bedroom.

"They want to keep him in the hospital overnight on till they can do more testing tomorrow. Since his white blood cell count is low it could only make things worse." Explained Dylan feeling guilty for being jealous earlier. Brooks might have the looks but, he was very sick and Dylan has always been healthy. 

Just then Javier came bursting into the room looking panicked. "Tomorrows the day!" He cried.

"Don't shout," Groaned Aman placing a hand over his head. 

"What day Javier? You can't just come in here shouting something without explaining yourself." Snapped Dylan already feeling nervous. 

"Officer Heart is coming! We have it marked on the calendar!" 

Dylan could feel his face go pale and Aman was sitting up by now. 

"You guys have to cover for me! Tell him I just have the" Aman stopped to lay back down looking too weak to be sitting for so long. "Flu." He finished. 

"We can't do that he'll never fall for it!" Shouted Javier. "And the house is a mess you guys don't even care!"

Aman sighed. "You and Agustin go be the good boys, but I need to lie!" 

"Yeah right and get into worse trouble. I have a feeling this is why you're here because you lie. I really don't like you, Aman! I'm moving to the attic!" Shouted Javier causing Aman to wince again.

"I claimed the attic first!" Aman mouthed back.

"Oh, you won't need the attic because you will be in jail once Officer Heart finds out!" Javier put his hands on his hips.

"Tell Officer Heart and you'll get it, Javier!" Aman attempted getting out of bed and nearly fell over when Dylan stopped him.

"Alright, boys knock it off! There are far more important things going on, we need to be reasonable and think of a plan." Said Dylan helping Aman lay back down. 

"I won't think of any plan, dinners ready, help yourselves." And Javier left slamming the door on purposes for Aman who just swore at him.

Agustin got to the hospital as soon as possible. He knew Brooks needed him he's been away from his parents for the first time in his life and was quite clingy.
