CrypticQuery Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Zeke had noticed a change in Patrick's expression. "What's on your mind?", he asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack22 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "Oh, its nothing," Patrick said half-heartedly. He was obviously lying, since he tried to smile but ended up making a sort of half grin/snarl. I haven't seen Angel in so long, I hope she's still okay, Patrick thought while setting the burger down. Wishing to change the subject, Patrick said, "Oh, um, did you get a hold of Gearhart yet?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "Yeah", Zeke replied, still suspicious of his friend's behavior. "I told him we were here. Is there any reason you know of that would bring him down like that?", Zeke asked, totally clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack22 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "I'm not sure," Patrick replied, too busy thinking about Angel to put two-and-two together. "Maybe he just needs some extra time to get ready. Where was he anyway?" Patrick then recalled Zeke being at the bar. "And what were you doing at the bar? I didn't know you drank."

CrypticQuery Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "Yeah, I'm trying to break that habit", Zeke joked. "Gearhart was drinking and smoking his troubles away last night. That's all I remember though." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack22 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "Troubles?" Patrick questioned as he tried to pick his brain for useful tid-bits he might have picked up a while ago. "Last time I talked to him he seemed fine. Did he tell you about them?" Patrick asked, his voice filling with concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "Nope, he didn't say a thing", Zeke replied, now concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack22 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Now, what would Angel do if she were here? Patrick thought, thinking about how nice she was to everyone all the time. She'd probably go look for Gearhart or try to contact him again. Man, I miss her. Patrick felt a tear start to form in his eye, but he blinked it away. "Well, if you guys could excuse me for a moment," Patrick said as he got up and away from the booth. He slipped a few credits toward the waiter, covering the tip, he continued, "I'll go find Gearhart. My guess would be his in his room. Nice visiting with you all." Patrick said poliety and headed down the hall.He came back in a few seconds with his old nervous expression back. "Um, could one of you guys show me his room again? I still don't know where it is," Patrick admitted, rather embarrased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "Sure, I'll accompany you too.", Zeke said, trying not to mention the tear still going down Patrick's face. "His newest room was 112", Zeke said as they continued to the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjack22 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "Ah. Thanks." Patrick followed Zeke down another corridor and thought of happy times with Angel, trying not to feel too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluxy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Gearhart looked at his bottle of pills. No, I need to learn to not use them. Train my body. he thought as he walked back to his bed and laid down, waiting for Nel to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticQuery Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "Fine, I'll knock", Zeke thought, after losing sight of Patrick. *knocks* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluxy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Gearhart paused a moment. He sighed and got up, his wounds on his abs and chest still present and opened the door, with a fake smile that looked real on his face. "What's up guys?" He asked in a pleasant tone.

CrypticQuery Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Zeke jumped back immediately after seeing the wounds on Gearhart's abdomen. "What the hell happened to you!?", Zeke asked in a wavering tone, still visibly shaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluxy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Gearhart looked down at his wound. "Oh, it looks like I'm hurt!" He said, as it most likely a lie. "It hasn't been affecting me to much I guess. Probably happened last night." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Zeke, obviously not phased by the lie, continues, "Gearhart, you're lying through your teeth, and it's pretty obvious. If you want to talk, I'm always here, but otherwise, stop being a shut in, get those wounds looked at, and for my sake, go eat something." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluxy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 "You txt'd me." He said while pulling out his phone (Remember?! ). "Look, if you want, you can come into my room so we can talk while I patch myself up." He offered while losing his smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticQuery Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 "Oh...yeah...I got it", Zeke said, slowly remembering. "Sure, if you don't mind", Zeke said as he stepped in. "A bottle of whiskey will do that to ya", he laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluxy Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Gearhart closed the door while offering a seat to Zeke. He got out some supplies and started wrapping up his chest. "I just can't be around Arashikage right now. I was horrible to him all that time ago." He said, his depressed tone coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
