A Third Of A Pie

Chapter 16

Again, he anxiously checked the time.
He had been doing that the entire time.
He couldn't sit still.
Not with the current situation.
What if he wasn't ok?
What if he was gonna die?
What if it happened again?
What if-

"Sweetheart," he jumped slightly, meeting her blue eyes, "it's gonna be ok. He's fine, I'm sure of it. He's not a child, you know."

Sighing, he took another sip of his drink, "I'm sorry, but... what if he isn't? I wouldn't be there to help him..."

"Come on now, Jonathan. If something had, by some rare chance, happened, they would've called."

Ring ring!

Johnny jumped, turning to look at his phone.
"E- excuse me, mother," he apologised, stepping outside to take the call.
He read the contact, "Fred."
He cringed slightly at the name, but answered.
It could've been important.

"Toast! We need you at Immortal Hospital right now! Ghost is here, being treated!" Spooker yelled, sounding extremely distressed.

Toast gave a look of horror, before answering, "I'll be right there!"

He hung up, before rushing back in, grabbing his coat.
"I'm sorry, mother, but I need to go. Johnny is in hospital," he briefly explained.

"Oh my! Take my car!" She offered, giving him the keys, "I'll explain to the rest of the family."

"Thank you, mother," he thanked, taking the keys and kissing his mother's cheek before rushing out.

Johnny rushed through the doors, seeing Spooker and Colon in the waiting room.
"What happened," he asked, sitting down.

"We don't r- really know.... we just f- found him laying there. He was curled up, in a pool of sick, blood and spit!" Spooker explained, doing his hardest to not remember the images in his mind.

"Yeah. And the whole time, he was acting weird. He was being much more aggressive and was just being a dick," Colon added, folding his arms.

"... I see. You two go home. Work ends early today," Toast stated.

"What? No! We wanna know if he's ok!" Spooker argued, real concern on his face.

"Please, just go home. I'll call and update you if anything happens," Toast sighed.

"No! We wanna help!" Spooker continued.

"Fred!" Toast raised his voice, making the two interns flinch. Never had they seen Toast yell or lose his temper. The sight was... actually scary...

Toast calmed slightly, giving a sigh, "please, Fred, you'll help him the most if you just go home. Please, just do as I ask."

"Ok. We'll go home," Colon gave in, before grabbing Spooker's arm lightly, "come on, Spooks."

The duo left, Toast now sitting in silence in the waiting room.

He got up, and made his way to the receptionist, "Hello, ma'am. I'm here to see Johnny Ghost."

Colon got in the company's van, turning on the ignition.
He began driving, but Spooker noticed something.
He made a wrong turn.
It looked like he was going towards...

"Oh! Are we dropping the van off and then going home?" Spooker asked, smiling.

"No. We're going to investigate."
