The medics had loaded Iggy into the ambulance and hooked him up to all kinds of things. There was only enough room for Fang, Nudge, Gazzy, Angel and Total to be in the ambulance with Iggy and the paramedics. Angel was squeezing Fang's hand over and over, Nudge had tears in her eyes, but Gazzy looked the worst. Iggy was basically his best friend, and Gazzy was scared he was going to lose him.
"It'll be okay." Fang mouthed to Gazzy. He pushed the bad thought out of his mind because Angel was sitting right next to him. Angel sniffed and rubbed her eyes with her free hand. The other group was flying overhead, supposedly. Fang closed his eyes and thought about Max as the ambulance sped along. Finally, after what seemed like years, they pulled into the hospital-ambulance parking lot. Fang scurried out of the back of the ambulance with Angel, Gazzy, Nudge, and Total, while the paramedics hurried Iggy into the ER.
"Come on." Fang said as the other group landed behind them. They ran inside the ER and asked the woman at the desk where they had taken Iggy.
"I'm sorry, but you can't see him. They have to check over his wounds, and it's just easier without everyone in there." The woman replied in her helium-voice. Fang glared around the room then turned back to the woman behind the desk.
"When do we get to see him?" He asked quietly.
"When the doctors say you can." She replied shortly while typing on the computer in front of her. Fang sighed then led the others over to a group of empty chairs. They all took a seat and tried their best to pass the time.
Angel and Fang were on a small, two person couch, and Angel leaned over and rested her head on Fang's lap. "I'm scared, Fang." She whispered so only Fang could hear. Fang rubbed her head and looked away from her.
"It'll be okay. Just relax." Fang replied quietly. Angel sighed and Fang felt her body relax. In minutes, she was asleep.
Fang leaned back and tried to relax, but there were way too many thoughts going through his head to relax. "You okay, Fang?" Kalie asked in a whisper. Fang nodded, because physically, he was. Mentally, he was a wreck.
"Fang..." Gazzy began slowly.
"Yeah, Gazzy?" Fang asked quietly.
"I'm hungry." Gazzy said as he picked some dirt out from underneath his fingernails. Fang smiled and sighed.
"Okay, you and me will go find some food. We'll bring some back for the rest of you guys, too." Fang said as he gently stood up and layed Angel's sleeping body on the couch. "Come on, Gazzy." Fang said as he stepped lightly past Gazzy. Gazzy stood up an followed Fang to the desk where they asked where they cafeteria was. After receiving this information, the two walked off to get some food, still thinking about Iggy.
