[INDENT][INDENT]The smell of disinfectant invaded Aiden's nostrils as he sat up. Realizing he was in a bed, Aiden looked around in confusion, tugging at the hospital gown that was draped over him.

[COLOR=INDIANRED][b]"Hey, Sleeping Beauty."[/b][/COLOR] 

Looking up, Aiden moved his eyes towards the voice finally noticing Chester sitting in the room. Rubbing his eyes, Aiden felt his body aching all over. It was as though there had been a major shock to his system, he racked his brain trying to think what exactly had happened when suddenly it all came flooding back.

The party on the beach, the bullies, the spiked punch which lead to the bleeding eyes.

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"What happened Chester?"[/b][/COLOR] Aiden asked, his throat dry as he forced out the words. 

[COLOR=INDIANRED][b]"You and the girl blacked out, people were bleeding out their eyes so I being the only sober person called nine-one-one."[/b][/COLOR] Chester stated smugly. [COLOR=INDIANRED][b]"Strangely, you didn't react the same. Hopefully that means you just had a minor case of alcohol poisoning, which every freshman suffers during Frosh Week."[/b][/COLOR]

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"One can only hope, man."[/b][/COLOR] Aiden replied with a wry smile as the door to his room opened.

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][b]"Ah, you're awake."[/b][/COLOR] 

The voice of an older man caused Aiden to turn his head as the doctor entered the room. 

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][b]"I can only hope you're feeling better than you were when your friend had you brought here."[/b][/COLOR]

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"I can't honestly remember in order to compare Sir."[/b][/COLOR] Aiden replied as the doctor nodded knowingly.

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][b]"Anyways, your results came back."[/b][/COLOR] The doctor continued. [COLOR=SLATEGRAY][b]"There was an unknown foreign agent in your blood stream, but it seems to have dissolved since the initial tests. Odd, but it must have been some new designer drug, unfortunately we can hardly keep up with them these days. But you're one of the lucky ones Son, you and the girl that came with you and Mister Chester here are the only ones who made it through the night."[/b][/COLOR]

Aiden felt the blood leave his face as the doctor spoke. Only he and Whitney had survived the spiked punch? How were they the only ones who survived?

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][b]"I'd like to keep a few more samples of your blood for further study. There's a few other irregularities I'd like to look into."[/b][/COLOR]

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"Yeah sure Doctor."[/b][/COLOR] Aiden responded with a nod. [COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"Am I free to go?"[/b][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][b]"Yeah, if anything else shows up we'll call you. Just leave your contact information with the lady at the desk."[/b][/COLOR]

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"Will do, Doctor."[/b][/COLOR] Aiden replied with a smile. [COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"Thanks, Doctor uh, I didn't get your name."[/b][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][b]"Doctor Hank Jentyll, but you can just call me Doctor J, I hear that's hip among you young people."[/b][/COLOR] The older man added as he extended a hand. Taking the gesture, Aiden shook the doctor's hand as he swung his feet over the edge of the bed. 

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"Will do Sir, er... Doctor J."[/b][/COLOR] Aiden said with a sheepish smile. [COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"Uh, where are my clothes?"[/b][/COLOR]

[COLOR=SLATEGRAY][b]"Just in that wardrobe in the corner. Have a good day Aiden."[/b][/COLOR] The doctor said as he bid his farewell.

Pulling the curtain across to shield Chester's eyes, Aiden quickly dressed before disembarking from the room as he and Chester made their way to the front desk. Filling out the required paperwork, Aiden handed the pen back towards the receptionist before pausing as he turned towards her again.

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"Could you tell me what room Whitney... Uh you know, she didn't give her last name..."[/b][/COLOR] Aiden said as his voice trailed off.

[COLOR=INDIANRED][b]"Carter."[/b][/COLOR] Came a matter of fact tone from Chester. [COLOR=INDIANRED][b]"Whitney Carter."[/b][/COLOR]

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"Could you tell us what room Whitney Carter is in then?"[/b][/COLOR] Aiden asked the receptionist as he nodded his thanks to Chester.

[COLOR=SILVER][b]"Room 104, just down the hall and around the corner."[/b][/COLOR] 

[COLOR=STEELBLUE][b]"Thank you, have a great day ma'am."[/b][/COLOR] Aiden said as he expressed his gratitude before the pair departed towards Whitney's room.[/INDENT][/INDENT]
