Not long after, a doctor in-charge of Alex and Q's case drops by. He stated that they both need to stay at the Centre for a while. He emphasised that Alex is fortunate because his case can be more complicated if he didn't wear any safety equipment while riding the bike which clearly he did when he's riding the bike.
The doctor also said that they will be transferred into the closed-room ward since they are still teenagers and have the higher possibilities in getting an infection from any older and high-risks patients there. Actually one room is enough and compatible per one person but Q's case is not so complicated than Alex's so they were both located together in one room.
[After done transferring them to the closed-room ward]
"Umm, Q. Now that I know you are safe and sound here, I'll get back home to take some of your things and bring them here. Won't be long I guess depending on the current traffic. Anyway, (looked at Alex) umm, Alex right?", said Sylan.
"Yes, sir", replied Alex.
"Ahh,no need for formalities here. Uncle would be just fine. Want something? Food or anything?", said Sylan to Alex.
"No uncle, everything's good. Thanks for asking.", replied Alex.
"Alright then. See you guys later. Take care. Anything just call me 'aight.", said Sylan to both of them.
[After Sylan left the room]
"Hey Alex. I'm sorry to ask you but where are your parents? I can ask the nurses to call them for you.", asked Q curiously.
"Umm, actually Q. I don't even know if they are alive right now. I grew up in the City's Countryside Orphanage Centre since I was a lil' kid. Now, I decided to move out from the OrCent (short form for the orphanage centre) and stay alone here in the city. Got some finance incentive supported by the city so I'll be fine I guess. Sorry that you need to hear all of this.", replied Alex slowly.
"Ahh, I see. It's okay, Alex. Umm, want some snacks?", asked Q while handing out a bag of chips that he got from the RN earlier as a gift.
"I'm alright, Q.", replied Alex.
"Okay then, suit yourself.", said Q while he started to open up the bag of chips and start to munch it.
"By the way, where is your mother? Haven't seen her coming in just now.", asked Alex curiously.
"Ah, 'bout that. Umm, she currently works at the Pongo Countryside Medical Centre. She does her part-time there as a medical assistant. Maybe you knew her, she works there quite a while already. She won't be back until next week, my father said that she got somethin' up there.", replied Q.
"Oh. Maybe I knew her 'cause I was there last time. I'll check again later.", said Alex while having some hidden smirk in his smile.
Alex then pulled up his hospital bed's duvet and went to sleep. Q eats the rest of the chips while watching the room's television.
...
After a while, Q wanted to go to the bathroom. He stood up and made his way up to the bathroom. Right after he settled in the bathroom, he worked his way to his bed. He accidentally kicked Alex's bag and something came out and dropped on the floor.
Q gets near that thing and sees that it's a portable makeup box with a letter 'A' inside a circle line above the box. He thought that it was the brand name of the makeup box. He giggled a bit because he just knew that Alex wore some makeup on his face. He silently thought that was cute in some way. He put the box back in Alex's bag and zip the bag up before climbing up his bed to take some nap.
[In the meantime]
At a grand hotel named Zesta's Executives Hotel, a group of The Posse's members walked into the penthouse of the hotel. They sit at a ridiculously long dining table and wait patiently for their head member, Pyry. Not so long after that, Pyry arrived with two other significant (bodybuilder's body-like) that are actually his own personal and private bodyguards. At the same time of arrival, all of the members stand up in order to pay respect to their head member. He then sat at the front of the dining table and then ordered all of the members to be seated.
When all of the members are seated, a small group of private butlers starts to serve them with some appetisers in order to start a fine meal.
"Greetings to all respected members of The Posse. And also to our newest member which is (while looking at the newest member) umm ... where is the other one?", asked Pyry to the vice head member of The Posse, Mara.
Mara replied with "Ohh, another one has something come up. Here's the text, Pyr." She's showing the text on her phone next to Pyry.
"Hmm, okay. (Clearing his throat) Remember! (with a strong voice) This gathering takes place once a month and all members are required to attend them without excuses unless you wanna be terminated as a member. By all means terminated, I meant killed of course. (looks at the newest member) Yup, once in, always in.", said Pyry.
Then all members chant the sentence of "Once in, always in!" about four times repeatedly and loudly.
The fine butlers then served them the main meal to fill up all member's stomachs that had been growling since the arrival of Pyry.
"So, what needs to be discussed today? Hmm, I heard that my love-boy has been a bit naughty nowadays. How 'bout we start with that?!", asked Pyry.
"I saw him yesterday at the café then we wanted to gang up on him, well ...", said one of the members.
"Well what? Said them clear, bloke!", responds Pyry.
"Well, all of a sudden there was some interruption and we left immediately. I think it's the authorities. Will do better next time, Pyr.", replied one of the members.
"Next time is the last time. Pin that in your head!", replied Pyry.
After that, they continue their other agenda at the hotel.
[Back at Pongo City Medical Centre]
Alex woke up to go to the bathroom and after he's done with it, he went back to his bed. He grabs his bag and takes the makeup box.
He opens it and takes something out of the box. Seems like a normal phone. He then calls someone and has some quick-talk.
After some point of time, Q woke up from his sleep and he sees Alex looks like he is calling somebody. He didn't hear the words clearly since the semi-conscious condition of him. He then proceeds to ask him who is the person that Alex is calling. When Alex realised that Q had woken up, he changed his tone of voice and said that he will call them back later before ending the call.
Alex looked at Q's face and said that the caller is the guardian of his back at the countryside and asked for any updated situation. Of course they knew the situation because the incident happened while the field news reporters were live recording due to the recent events of riot there.
Q nodded and asked him if he needed his help in any condition available. Alex replied with "Nothing, you can continue with your sleep and sorry the interruption Q.", said him softly.
"I've had enough sleep, Alex. If I continue sleeping, my head is gonna be so done later.", replied Q.
[The door of the room's opened]
A shadow of a person walks into the room and leaves Q's face surprised.
