George sighed as he walked back into Sapnap's hospital room.

Sapnap immediately sat up in his bed and gave George a cross look.

"Where on earth have you been? You left to get breakfast 30 MINUTES ago! I've texted you 15 times and I thought you had gotten lost or... "

His voice trailed off

George immediately felt the weight of guilt weigh back down on him. "Sap, I'm... I'm sorry. I got caught up in a conversation and forgot to check in with you."

Sapnap felt like forgiving George, but he wasn't going to let him off the hook that easy.

"Next thing I know you're going to be telling me you were flirting with some girl that whole time!"

George stared at the floor.

"George?"

George let out a small sigh and, still looking at the floor, said, "Her name is Monica."

Sapnap began to giggle uncontrollably. "You're (laughing)... you're serious?"

George managed to glance up at Sap before muttering, "yeah."

Sapnap patted the bed next to him, motioning for George to have a seat. "How about this. I'll eat my breakfast that you took way too long to get while you tell me all about 'Monica'," he said with a giggle.

George couldn't help but smile. He was so glad to see Sapnap returning to his happy, fun loving self.

George day on the bed next to Sapnap and began to tell him all about the girl he had met in the cafeteria from what she was wearing, to what her voice sounded like.

"I'm not sure that I like like her, but I like her as a friend right now. You know?"

Sapnap nodded. He was glad that George had someone to distract him from whatever emotions and thoughts were running through his head about the accident, Dream, and himself.

After a few more minutes of chit chat, Sapnap finished his breakfast.

"Considering it looked like school lunch food," he began. "It was pretty good."

George chuckled a bit. A few moments later, a man in a lab coat stepped through the door.

"Hello," he said in a cheerful voice. "My name is Doctor Brown. Are you 2 George and Sapnap?"

The boys nodded, slightly confused.

"Well," the doctor sighed. "You may want to come with me. Your friend, Dream, is still unconscious but can have visitors."

Being that Sapnap was still pretty beat up, a nurse came in and helped him into a wheelchair.

As soon a Sapnap was settled, they took off down the hallway.

Doctor Brown led the boys to an elevator at the end of the floor that Sapnap was staying on. The nurse pushed Sapnap into the elevator, nodded to the doctor, and walked away. As George stepped into the elevator, he watched the doctor click the button on the wall for the basement.

That's strange George thought to himself, but he decided not to mention anything to anyone else in the elevator. George was broken out of his thoughts by the ding of the elevator doors opening. The doctor motioned for George to step out, rolling Sapnap closely behind.

The hallway they had entered had lights, but was not nearly as bright as the floors above. George was silently thankful for the break, as his eyes were beginning to strain upstairs. Still, though, George felt like something wasn't right.

Doctor Brown led them further and further from the elevator, going down one corridor after another. Most of the basement seemed to be storage, but there was the occasional electrical box or generator.

After walking for what seemed like ages, Doctor Brown finally turned to face them.

He sighed then reached into his lab coat to grab something. Sapnap, still in front of the doctor, had no idea of what was happening. George's eyes widened as he saw what the doctor had. Seeing George's expression, Sapnap turned around.

All he saw was a gun barrel pointing towards his face.
