"Come on, don't be like that, you know they were bad people. They would have caused more harm if they were not stopped."
"*sigh* yep, that's why I'm still on it. Anyway let's start the day. Sarthak are you in?"
"Yes-wait you're receiving a call."
"Rick? Did he wake up already? Why call me now?" Sat started thinking loudly.
"Just answering the call would give you the answers, goddammit why don't you just answer it?" Sarthak was annoyed with his overthinking.
"Oh-right, hello?"
"Oh hey ...Mr. Sat, good morning, did you sleep well?" Alex called in a flow, but he forgot he's bad at having conversations.
"What? You're not Rick, you're Alex right? Why are you calling from Rick's watch? What happened? Did Rick go missing this time?" Sat looked and sounded confused.
"No no everything is alright... Alex what the hell are you doing..." Lucy's angry words interrupted Alex.
"Hey wasn't that Lucy? What is happening? Did you do something last night and asking for contraceptive? You shouldn't be so shy about it kid."
"NOO OF COURSE WE DID NOT, okay Rick broke your yellow magic ball and some liquid inside there came out on Rick's hand, and apparently that's causing something bad." The accusation made the flow of words easier.
"What? Did you have a nightmare?" Sat was now yet more confused than before.
"Sat sir we're not joking, Rick's hand has gone black and it's worsening every moment...and Lucy is kinda affected too." Emma joined.
"Wow the whole team is- wait did you say black hand? Tell me more." Sat said as he stood up from chair in excitement.
"His veins turned blue and they are glowing-"
"STOP, do what I say. Wrap their whole body in the white sheet, there should be a spare on under the bed, I'll informing Alvarez further information." And Sat hung up the call and immediately called Alvarez.
"HEY CÉCILE, DROP WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING. Kids are in emergency."
"But it was emergency yesterday."
"Yes it's again now."
And there outside the room, Ravi was having a weird conversation with Alvarez.
"So it was all because he accidentally zipped his penis, and I don't get how this is not an emergency. He needs immediate medical attention."
"Yes but we already took care of it, we all made it right." Ravi made a good excuse.
"We all? Are the girls inside too? Seriously what are you doing?" It looked like Alvarez would go mad in confusion. Ravi didn't think the excuse thoroughly and now he didn't have any answer about the girls'presence. But thankfully they were interrupted by Alvarez 's incoming phone call.
"Alvarez it's emergency."
"But sir, the kids are in something fishy-"
"Oh good you're already there. It's about that, don't ask them anything. Just bring them on an ambulance towards sector T quickly and advance untill my further order."
"Yes sir!" And he hung up.
"Before you ask me anything, it was a facade and even I don't know what the emergency is about so please go ahead, spare me from my nonsense" Ravi said as he opened the door for Alvarez.
Alvarez entered the room and saw sleeping Rick and sweating Lucy covered in white bedsheet.
"Before you ask anything, it's not what it looks like." Lucy was panicking but still thought of clearing any misconceptions.
"Oh trust me, I wouldn't have asked anything even if I was ordered to. Now hold him boys." And Alvarez pulled a stretcher out of nowhere.
"Where did that come from...", it seemed just like illusion so Alex couldn't hold back the question.
"Oh it is on the side of every door of the room, normally nobody notices it." Ravi and Alex helped Alvarez getting Ravi on the stretcher. "Now everyone go to the ground floor, take care of Lucy. Wait for the ambulance.", despite being called on the wrong time, Alvarez didn't seem to be much annoyed.
"I'm fine, I can walk." Lucy didn't want to look weak. Apparently nobody even had thought of putting her on a stretcher.
They all accompanied Lucy to the ground floor and saw an ambulance waiting. The driver was none other than Alvarez.
"Do you need an invitation now?" Alvarez said to the kids watching the little too advanced looking ambulance with awe. Hearing that, they rushed into the ambulance and saw Ravi already inside.
"Aloe, green corridor is on, go berserk!" Sarthak said from a speaker.
"Seriously? Aloe? Aloevera? I am working you know." Alvarez said he started accelerating quickly. They saw the road was wide open, all buildings were put to a side to make the road turn free.
"Keep it up for 2 minutes and stop, and it's hard to call you by the long name so Aloe it is from now." Sarthak said.
2 minutes passed, nobody talked.
"Ok Al, stop the car and stand outside." This time it was Sat from the speaker.
"Sir yes sir." Alvarez said with little bit of fear and respect mixed in his voice.
"Of course why would you complain about Al..." It seemed that Sarthak sighed when Alvarez stopped the car. As the car stopped, they saw Cécile and Sat stopping and leaving their bike and approaching their ambulance.
"Al take the bike." Sat said in serious voice.
"Bu-but sir I cannot ride bik-"
"Then use the freaking auto-pilot." And Sat closed the door in astound face of Alvarez.
Nobody uttered a word seeing Sat and Cécile serious. "Cécile I should have asked this long ago, but where did you get your driver's license from?"
"Believe me your timing couldn't be worse, I'm taking the steering, I'll answer once we reach there, T engine building right?" Cécile said in straight face.
"*sigh* yes that's a better idea, yes gp towards T engine and let me clarify the situation... why's he sleeping?" Sat pointed at Rick.
"He was panicking so we had te stab him by hand softly..." Ravi answered without looking towards Sat, to him the corner of the ambulance was more important.
"Hmm someone knows his work... we gotta wake him up-"
"Slap him hard." Cécile's advice came outta nowhere.
"No Cécile... he's a patient...please just drive..." It seemed Sat had to give a lot of effort to keep his calm. "Alex there is a cold water bottle under your seat, bring it out and put all of it on Rick's face, till then Lucy, stop sweating and unwrap yourself."
The Lucy who always debated Sat, calmly unwrapped the white sheet around her and showed him her right fingertips.
