Chapter 17
The hospital ward was usually full to the brim. It was another shock to Scott to find no nurses by the reception.
This wasn't the reception he'd known. Definitely not the old Rockwell International Hospital.
"This way! " A doctor clad all in white told him.
Scott hated hospitals. The aculine smell of death, the bad toilets...

Inside the small room were the boys. Peter Parker on drip. Watson David looking on like a helpless lamb.
"How's he doing? " Scott asked.
"He's going to be fine." the doctor paused, "Here is all the medical checkups we did on him. "
Scott glanced at the fuzzy incomprehensible handwriting.
"Alright. Give us a few minutes. "

"What the hell happened to him? " Scott asked Watson after the doctor had gone.
"Dunno. He just said Miles. Over and over again, then he foamed. Pretty disgusting. "
"Has this ever happened to him? "
"Pete? Of course not. He's been as healthy as a bee. "
Scott didn't smile. "How about his parents? "
"Oh. Pete's parents died in a plane crash and then he... "
"No, I mean did they know? " Scott justified.
"And how am I supposed to know that?"
"Of course, you don't. " Scott sighed, "Just give me a few minutes with him, OK? "
