[Back at Tracy island]
(Third person P.O.V)
Soon as they were back home at Tracy island. Scott, Virgil and John were in the kitchen and they heard Kayo, Grandma Tracy, Brains and M.A.X up in the living room.
"How are we going to tell them about Gordon and about Alan's condition?" John quietly asked.
"We'll just have to break it to them gently John." Virgil said.
"And the 3 of us will do it together." Scott said to Virgil and John.
So the new three of them went up to the living room.
[in the living room]
Once they were in the living room, Kayo and Grandma Tracy saw them and started to worry when they saw their sad faces.
"Boys, what's the news? Is Alan okay? Where's Gordon? Is he okay?" Grandma Tracy worriedly asked them.
"What we're trying to say is guys is that what happened at the hospital?" Kayo calmly said whilst comforting Grandma Tracy.
The three older Tracy's quietly sat down in the sitting area. Once they were sat down, Brains who was sat next to Grandma Tracy and Kayo, gently said them.
"Do take your time boys, it seems that the news you have for us have hurt you more." Brains calmly said.
Scott cleared his voice then took a deep breath.
"There's good and bad news I'm afraid. The good news is that Gordon isn't too badly injured, he was only stabbed on his right arm and left leg, he's only staying for a few days because he's lost a bit of blood."
Kayo, Brains and Sally were relieved that Gordon wasn't seriously injured but were worried about the bad news. So Scott carried on saying.
"Unfortunately the bad news is that Alan is in a coma. He had multiple injuries on him and when the doctors were doing a scan he started fitting. There was a bleed in his brain."
When Scott was finished, Grandma Tracy bursted into tears after hearing the bad news about Alan. Kayo put her arms around Grandma Tracy and started to comfort her.
"So what do we do to bring him back?" Kayo sadly said.
"Nothing I'm afraid Kayo. The only thing we can do is be there for Alan and hope he'll come round by himself." Brains said.
"My poor Alan." Grandma Tracy sobbed in Kayo's shoulder.
John got up and ran to his room crying. Virgil went to make tea while Scott stayed sitting where he was. Grandma Tracy was still being hugged by Kayo and Brains went to his lab while M.A.X was helping Virgil make the tea.
The only thing that all of them could think was Alan and his condition.
