Part 29

**Gulf's POV**

I had just started making dinner when I decided to look at the clock to check the time. It's almost 5:30 and I haven't heard from Mew yet. He promised he would be home before 6 so I'm trying not to lose my cool. I bet he's fine. Kaownah isn't dangerous so there probably just talking and lost track of time. It's understandable.

But the closer it gets to 6 the more I start to get nervous...

Did he forget what time he was supposed to come home?

I'll give him some more time...

7:30 rolled around and now I can't stay still anymore. The food is done and im just sitting at the kitchen table like an idiot. Feeling pissed off I decide to call Mew but there was no answer...

Really?

He's going to ignore me?

What the fuck is going on?

Instead of calling Mew again I decide to call Perth and he answers the phone on the third ring sounding dead inside.

Perth: "Hello?"

Gulf: "Perth? Where is Mew? I've called him and he won't pick up. He's late for dinner."

Perth: "Gulf? Oh my god Gulf..."

Gulf: "What? Whats wrong?"

Perth: "I-I need you to come down to the h-hospital as soon as you can..."

Gulf: "The hospital? What are you doing at the hospital?"

Perth: "Please just come. I'll explain everything once you get here. I'm in room 635B."

He hangs up the phone without another word and I write down the room number.

What happened?

Is Mew okay?

Is kaownah okay?

What the fuck are they doing in a hospital?

I quickly gather my jacket, wallet, keys and head out the front door. I rush to my car and speed down the highway.

Please let everyone be okay...

I reach the hospital in record time and man my hands are all types of sweaty. Quickly walking into the hospital I walk up to the front desk and try to talk to the first person I see.

Gulf: A little out of breath. "Hi, can you please tell me where room 635B is."

Receptionist: "Yes, you're going to want to go out the front door and walk to building B. Once inside, you will go to the elevator to the 6th floor and then your room should be on the right."

Gulf: I smile at her. "Thank you so much."

I run in the direction of building B and get frustrated when I have to stand in a line for the elevator.

Fuck this, I look around me until I find the stairs and run up 6 flights of stairs as quickly as I could. Except once I got to my floor I was so out of breath that I felt a little dizzy.

Shit...

Trying to catch my breath a little bit, I stand in the stairwell until I could actually take full breathes again.

Okay, you can do this...

I walk down the hall with a big sense of dread washing over me. It reminds me of the wave of unease I noticed last night. 

Was this what it was warning me about?

The lady was right. On my right about half way done the first hall was room 635B. I slowly pull open the door and the first thing I spot is Perth sitting in a chair covered in blood with so much pain on his face.
