Jean grabbed his mom and ran her to the hospital.
"It's gonna be ok maw." She was passed out in his arms, bridal style.
Jean burst through the hospital doors and ran up to the counter.
"Excuse me ma'am!" She was busy with someone else.
"Ma'am! Excuse me!" Jean didn't have the time or patience for this. "MA'AM!" The lady put a finger up to him. "Hold on one minute sir."
His mom convulsed, almost throwing herself out of Jean's arms.
"Hold on maw!" Jean ran to the center of the room and looked for a way into the emergency room. He saw a set of door and didn't even bother to read the sign "employees only". Jean raced through the doors and found himself surrounded by people smoking and eating junk food. Jean raced back out and looked around once more. He saw a nurse wheeling an injured man down a hallway. Jean raced after them in hopes of some help.
"Excuse me sir, my mom is dying! I need help! Now!"
"Sir, I'm gonna need you to wait in the waiting room please."
"But my maw is dying!"
"Sir I understand that, but I need you to wait for everyone else ok?"
Suddenly Jean heard yelling from behind him. He tried to turn around but was stopped by arms gripping around him and putting him in a lock. Jean thrashed and tried to break free but failed. One of the other men there took Jean's mom out of his arms. Now Jean was yelling. Screaming "No! Stop! Please!". They dragged Jean away and Jean caught a glimpse of them carrying his mom away onto the medical room.
"Mom! Mom no!" Jean writhed and shook in the mans arms. All of a sudden Jean felt a sharp pang in his side and everything went dark.
