Kobra’s P.O.V
--------------------------
“Hey D, does the vending machine have Cheezos?” I ask Dr. Death. He gives me a death stare and shakes his head.
“I don’t know Kobra,” he says and gives me $3.50. “Go look, and if they do, get me a bag too.”
I take the money and nod. I have to pass Ritalin’s hospital recovery room so I stop and poke my head in the doorway.
“Bro, want Cheezos to cheer you up?” I ask him when I see him sitting in the chair staring at Ritalin.
Poison looks at me and wipes tears off his cheeks. I feel so bad for him and Ritalin.
“Nah, but thanks,” he sniffs.
I walk up behind him and say softly, “She’ll be okay dude. The docs here will make sure of it. And if anything bad happens to her, Dr. Death-Defy will flip shit, because Ritalin is like his daughter and he knows how much she means to you. HE will make sure nothing happens to her, that threatens her life. We all got your back too, Poison.”
Poison looks at me then Ritalin without saying anything.
“I know I don’t show it, but I’m fucking terrified right now. I don’t want to loose her either, and I think its my fault she’s like this,” I honestly tell Poison.
Poison looks at me again, “How in the hell is it your fault Kobra? It’s mine!”
I look Poison in the eye. “Poison! I saw Ritalin and Thunder fighting at the top of the waterfall. I paused and didn’t know how to stop Thunder. All I did was yell.”
He shakes his head, “I let Exposition blindside me. I was closer to Ritalin. I could’ve saved her…”
“Dude,” I sigh. “Its not either of our faults, okay? Lets agree on that please? It’s Thunder’s fault because he’s an asshole and he doesn’t have a working heart.”
Poison stares me down and sits in the chair, next to Ritalin’s bedside. He brings his knees up to his chest and buries his face into his knee. I walk up to the other side of the bed and look down at Ritalin, who is unconscious still.
“I’m sorry lil’ sis,” I say taking her hand in mine. “I hope you feel better soon and can be yourself.” Poison looks up at me, wipes his nose on his sleeve and stands up.
“On second thought, I’ll have Cheezos. And an Iced Starbuckks coffee too,” he tells me while smirking a little bit.
I smirk back when I notice he’s smirking, “She’d want me to relax a bit.” Poison finishes.
“Cream and or sugar?” I ask him before leaving.
“Both, extra sugar,” he winks, and I pat his shoulder, and leave.
When I get Poison’s coffee, I go to the vending machines for Cheezo’s. I walk up to the machines and press C3, 50 cents comes up on the screen so I put in a dollar 50 for 3 bags of Cheezo’s.
I drop a bag on accident because it was either the coffee or the bag, “Shit,” I mumble. I bend over and pick the bag up. While bending over, I notice something shinny under the vending machine, so I set the coffee cup and Cheezo’s down on the ground and get on my stomach.
I put my hand under the vending machine, feeling dust, sand and then my hands slide across the shinny thing.
When I pull my hand out I notice that it’s a computer chip. Hmm, wonder what this is. I slide it in my pocket and grab the coffee and Cheezo’s.
When I stand up and turn around, I turn around to face Thunder, Exposition, and two dracs. Shit.
“Hey Kobra. Lets take a long and interesting walk, shall we?” Thunder says taking the coffee, and throwing the Cheezo’s on the ground.
The two dracs already have grabbed my arms and had tight grips on my arms.
I expose my fangs to Thunder and sneer, “I’d rather not. Why don’t you just go to hell?”
