Mak Wheeler: Chapter 1

10) Stab Wounds

"What the hell are you talking about Wheeler?!" shouted Steve.

"I mean that knife is injected with over a hundred different poisons, she'll be dead by Monday." Miles said, putting his head in his hands.

Mike wasn't paying attention to anything after that. All he could think about was his family. He was thinking about Mak, Miles, James, and El. They were the reason he survived. Without them he would be empty. He can't lose any of them. Everyone was silent until they got home.

Everyone got out of the car when they got to the Wheeler house. Everyone beside Miles and Mike. "I need to know some stuff that happened at the Lab" Mike said softly

"A lot." Miles laughed darkly.

"Seriously Miles," Mike turned to face his son. "I'm not losing any of my children."

At that moment, the father and son duo hopped out of the car. They opened the basement door to see Eleven and Mak talking on the couch. Mike smiled at the scene. The girls looked back at the door. Mak's eyes went wide.

"Miles?!" Shouted Mak. Both girls stood up immediately. Mak ran up and hugged her brother before punching him in the arm.

"What the hell was that for?" He said annoyed, rubbing his shoulder.

"For almost getting yourself killed." She stated. Miles then decided to flick her on the forehead twice.

"Hey!" Yelled Mak.

"That's for actually getting yourself killed." Said Miles. Mak stared at the floor. "You know what that knife could do to you, but you had to provoke him didn't you?"

"You knew?!" Shouted Mike.

"Dad knows?" Mak Yelled at Miles.

"Of course he knows Ma—" Miles was cut off by a cough, a small one. However, as seconds passed, he started to not be able to breathe."

"Miles? Miles! What's happen—" Just then Mak was cut off by the same cough.

"Miles? Mak? What's going on?" Steve shouted. In a second, both of them were on the ground unconscious. El ran over to Miles and Mike to Mak.

"Mak? Come on sweetheart! Wake up for me! Please!" Mike cooed, shaking his daughter.

"Wake up Miles, please!" El was doing the same to their son. Mike only knew one thing to do.

"Jonathan bring the car up front, my parents aren't home so we can bring them to the hospital." Mike wiped away some of his tears as he tried to remain calm for El.

Jonathan did as he was told. Mike picked up his daughter and Steve picked up Miles, and they carried them to the car. They placed them in the truck. Mike and El decided they would sit in the back with them. While they were loading them into the back seats, Jonathan called Nancy, much to her confusion, and told her to meet them at the hospital.

When everyone arrived they brought Mak and Miles through the doors. The rest of the party went down the hall to get food. Meanwhile, two medics rushed towards Mike, El, Mak, and Miles and took both Mak and Miles right away. As Mike and El were starting to follow, they were stopped by the receptionist.

"Excuse me kids, you need to sign them in." They reluctantly nodded.

"All I can think about are my kids how do they expect me to write information or even think at a time like this?!" El shouted quietly to Mike.

"Shhh, El they don't know those are our kids." Mike said pulling her in for a hug, "we're technically the same age as them" he chuckled.

"I don't care Mike." She took a shaky breath "Those are our babies in there."

Mike was still holding on to her tight. They stood there for a second before Mike finally broke the silence. "I love you El." He said. There was no response. This took him by surprise since she always responds to that. "El?" He said nervously.

He pulled her away just enough to see that she was unconscious just like Mak and Miles. "El?!" He yelled "Help!"

A different medic came and took El. As they did that, Nancy came from down the hall. "Mike?" She asked. Mike ran into her arms and started crying.

"What the hell happened? Where El?" She asked quietly so no one else would hear. Mike pulled her into an empty hall so they could talk. After Mike explained everything that happened since Mak got there, Nancy stood there shocked.

"Now, something is going on with Mackenzie, Miles, and El. I don't know what I'm going to do!" He put his back against the wall and slid down, head in his hands.
