Donnie led his group to a hospital that may give Osa the treatment she needs. He's been protective of her since day one and wants to do so today. He knows that she is in a lot of discomfort, so he decided to take the risk of going inside this hospital alone to find some kind of pain killer, like morphine. He dismounts the horse and tells the three shifters to stay put and not go inside the hospital after him, no matter what happens. "Stay here."

"Why can't we come?" Kodi asked.

"I have a gas mask. Spores could be inside." He took his walking stick, which really acts as a bostaff. He also brought his knife and handgun. Donnie carefully opened the doors to the hospital and peeks inside. It was a Catholic hospital since he had seen Mother Mary and Jesus set up in certain parts of the main lobby. Papers are all over the floor, lights are still flickering, small pools of blood, and a dead woman behind the front desk with bullet wounds to her chest. He turned his flashlight on.

The light shined on a faint cloud just down the hallway past the gift shop and elevators. He made sure the mask was tight and secure before walking into it. Don came to the hall and read a sign that directed him around the hospital. "ICU: Intensive Care Unit." He says and walks in the direction of the arrow. He listened for any noises such as roars, click, moans, or groans so he'll be ready for an attack. Once Donnie reached this part of the hospital, he opened the doors and entered a stronger cloud of spores. "Ugh..." He groaned through his gas mask.

The halls and rooms are dark. He looks at the front desk and saw a sign that said 'please be quiet. Patients are recovering'. Don sighed. No one is recovering in here anymore. He went on with his walk in the ICU and finds nurses and doctors lying on the floor gathering dust. The turtle didn't bother to look in the hospital beds because it'll just make him feel the emotions since his real side is coming back. Instead of snooping on the Dead, Donnie went to the medical closet which was luckily unlocked and found what he was looking for. "Bingo..." The door closed behind him and he had all the medications to himself that were locked away. Don looked the racks in alphabetical order until he found the 'M's. "Morphine." He says taking a few vials from the shelf and stuffing them in his pack. While he's at it, might as well stuff some more.

"Penicillin, cloxacillin, ampicillin, oxy, and... fluids?" He shrugged and put a few of those supplies into his bag. He moved on to fresh packs of IVs, syringes, and surgical tools. He nods to himself, shining the light into his back and is happy with his load. When he turned to the door, a large figure passed by the window. He gasped and got a good look at it. "Boomer..."

It thumped and dragged its feet at its deep clicks and croaks came from the hall. Donnie checked how many rounds he had in his gun and saw there were only five left. He didn't want to waste them on this big guy, so he had the choice to sneak by the Boomer without being heard. Donnie quietly opened the medical closet door and stepped out to see the Boomer is walking away from him. The door is right where the infected man is heading and Don needed to create a distraction. He looks on the floor and found a desk phone. He used his knife to cut the phone cord and throws the phone across the other side of the ICU work area. His enemy, the Boomer roared and walks in that direction to see what made the sound.

Donnie sped walked with his body low and well hidden. Unfortunately, Donnie's ninja skills failed him this time and got him exposed for accidentally tripping on a body and causing him to yell in surprise. The Boomer roared and thumped its feet in Donnie's direction and threw a fungal plate to create golden spores. "Oh, f*ck me." He whispered. He quickly got up and hides in a room. "Big-ass candle head..."

Donatello stayed quiet and listened to the Boomer walk and click as it searched for the culprit of the noise. The infected man came too close to the curtain of the ICU patient room he was in, so Donnie prepared his gun in case it needed to be used. He hoped he wouldn't have to use the gun, but will if needed. Boomer wandered into the patient's room and detected whatever sound was inside. Donnie held his breath and carefully step by step goes to the curtain to leave and run for the exit doors.
