A few days later, Thierry returned. They were at the front door. when the security guard answered. Guard 2- "Man, you guys again. Come on in."
Thierry- "Thank you." They entered the dim lobby, some people for the first time.

Alex was uncharacteristically silent in the research center. Until they leave, he'll nibble on snacks and leave the talking to Ashley/Thierry/Sarah/Micah, unless somebody addresses him directly.

Ashley had never been here before, and looked around in curiosity. Otherwise he did not say a thing, and followed Thierry's lead.

Micah had a look around the dank foyer, so this was UWMRC huh. It still had a kind of hospital like smell. Hospitals always made Micah feel like he ought to be sick and was letting everyone down by hanging out in a hospital without a terminal disease. He'd spent a few days in hospital before he left Australia, waiting for his mum to get tests. There was an uncomfortable silence in the place and Micah racked his brain with something to fill it. "So uh what kind of medical shit did they do here?" Nice, like anyone would know. Sarah- "Marie told me this, she said, 'You know the advertisements on buses saying "Participate in medical experiments for cash!"? The UWMRC does those experiments.'"

This place was eerie. It was a 1970s styled small hospital, with no electric light, and newspapers taped all over the inside of the lobby windows to reduce zombie interest. A gas lantern in the brown murk made it seem like the wild west somehow... The wild west of linoleum floors.
Thierry and the others followed the security guard up four flights of stairs, into a lobby with another security guard. That guy went in, leaving them in the waiting room.... Security Guard- "Man, you cats are nothing but trouble."
Thierry- "And yet we are the ones who were assaulted by yours, and you are the ones who have turned on each other."
Security Guard- "Fuck it. I didn't want to talk anyway." Alex remembered this jerk from before.

Ashley glared at the guard and crossed his arms, waiting. He could, at the very least, pay respects to the man who made sure his shoulder was working.

"Hospital staff never fucking change do they, snooty fuckers. How are you going Alex?" Alex seemed uncharacteristically quiet and it was giving Micah the creeps. Micah cast his gaze around the room checking out if they had magazines or something to do. If it was anything like it used to be, they'd be hold up in here at least another two hours.

It was too dark to read by. Maybe this floor did research on kids, because there was a little stack of Ranger Rick magazines and some kind of weird toy for babies, all plastic wires and geometric shapes. The guard glared at Micah, but then went back to focusing his attention on the extra buff guys. Sarah rubbed her temples. Thierry just stared back at the cranky guy.

Alex stopped glowering at the jerk guard to answer Micah. "Mmhhmm." He resumed glowering.

The door opened A little scruffy blonde dude poked his head out. Scruffy- "Thierry, oh, hey it's chatty kid, and... Don't know you guys. First round of well wishers?"
Thierry- "Indeed, Lee."
Lee- "Come on back, but remember to stay with me." He led them inside, and they began to walk through the dark halls.

Ashley follows closely and seems quiet and thoughtful as he walks.

They came to a room not far away, with those divider things hiding the patient from view. A man with his head in his hands sat up at the intrusion, relaxed and smiled. Dr. Green- "Ah, hello. Charles is in good condition, I was just resting my eyes. I'm Dr. Green."
Thierry- "Oh?"
Dr. Green- "He's as good as he can be, and in a week or so I think we can be more confident that he's on a road to healing. I'm sad to say that after that time, we still can't know if he's ever going to wake up, but I am hopeful."
Thierry- "So... Here we are. What's next?"
Dr. Green- "Everyone keep a distance of a three feet, cover your mouth if you're sick, and take a look. I'm sorry to see you under these circumstances, folks. But you're welcome." He led them behind the curtain...

"...." Micah wished he hadn't come but it had been the right thing to do. It seemed pretty pointless now but it had to count for something, right?

Alex knelt about four feet away from the bed and bowed his head. "Doctor? It's Alex. Micah's here, too. Don't worry. I won't pray." "If you can hear me, I'm sorry for many things. Like ... raising my voice, telling boring stories, interrupting your work for band-aids, proselytizing, bragging ... You don't have to clean the chicken coops! Wake up! Pleeease. We need you. Wake up now?" He looked at the doctor's face expectantly. Alex just knew that he'd open his eyes. He had faith!
