Elsie leaned on the door, feeling very sick at the stench of vomit. She looked around, covering her mouth and nose, for fear of herself vomiting and located the puddle of Ew!
Hearing the bang of the front door closing, she hollered downstairs,"Get up here, guys! Jake's sick."
Ma and Dad rushed upstairs and seeing the state of affairs, jumped right into action.
Ma brought some cleaning supplies and started disinfecting the place. Dad picked up his son and ran into the bathroom to give him a shower. Ma passed him some clothes and a towel, after cleaning up the puddle. She pushed open the windows to let the fresh air in and the stink out.
Looking at Elsie standing there forlornly, she said softly," Why don't you bring over some crackers and OJ for Jake? He needs some food in him after all this." She gestured to around the room.
Seeing how Elsie looked like she might be in shock, Ma added," Go along, darling."
Preparing the sick tray and picking up a bottle of water from the fridge, Elsie couldn't help but ponder on her brother who never fell ill, fall into this state so rapidly. They were barely gone for 3 hours after Jake's return home. What happened in those 3 hours?
