Chapter 9
Kevin was just in his room, laying down, watching T.V. He finally started to get a little more relaxed, and was just started in drift asleep when Nick and Howie entered the room.
"What did you find out?" Kevin said very impatiently, now wide awake again.
"We have a doctor's report for you," Nick said, trying to act a little cheery, as not to upset Kevin.
"Some one poisoned and choked A.J. His neck tube things got screwed up a little but the fixed them. His heart also stopped earlier, but that started up again too," Howie said very fast, just trying to get it all out. "
Will he be O.K.?" Kevin said with a terrified look on his face.
"So what are ya watching?" Nick said trying to change the subject. "The Discovery Channel? Gosh, that lightning bolt must have done more damage to your brain than we thought!"
"That's not what I asked you Nick! All I want to know is if he'll be O.K.! Tell me now or I'll go down there and ask the doctor myself!" Kevin said, getting really annoyed.
"Hey, Kev, did anyone tell you that your hair looks really crappy?" Howie said, also trying to change the subject.
Kevin attempted to get up, but before he could Nick said, " Kev, to tell you the very truth, they're not sure if A.J.'ll even live or not."
Then Nick stepped out of the room before he could see Kevin's reaction. Even from out in the hall though, Nick could hear it when Kevin yelled, "Noooooooooooooooooooooo!" and when he started to cry.
