"Kid, ya look really pale, are ya sure yer okay?" Husk asked as he helped Alastor clean the table. Angel nodded but he felt sick. His body felt like it was on fire and he was having trouble breathing. "Al, ya didn't poison or drug him, didja?"

"No, why?" Alastor asked as he cleaned his glasses. Husk pointed to Angel, who was falling into a daze. He rolled his eyes and walked over to Angel, placing a cool hand on the boy's forehead. Only to immediately take his hand away seconds later. "Shit- he's got a fever. It might be a reaction to lead poisoning from the bullets.. Get him into the bedroom, I'll call Mimzy to see if she's got anything that can help."

Husk nodded and gently picked Angel up as Alastor ran off to call Mimzy. Angel was shivering despite his fever and sweating cold bullets. "hang in there kid, Al's gonna get ya fixed up.." Husk murmured as he carried the taller back to the room they had kept him in the first time.

"G-gon..-- G-gonna pu..--puke.." Angel stuttered out, weakly putting a hand over his mouth. Husk swore under his breath and had barely managed to set Angel down before he was vomiting all over the floor. Husk had to hold him up so he would fall into his own fluids. "S-sorry.."

"It's alright kid... Let's get you into bed.." Husk murmured as he helped Angel lay down on the bed. He used the sleeve of his sweater to wipe the vomit off Angel's mouth. The sight of Angel looking ill made his heart hurt. "Are ya having an allergic reaction to something ya ate..?"

Angel shook his head, causing Husk to sigh softly. "S-sorry.." he stuttered out once more, feeling bad about it. Husk shook his head softly and tucked the blanket around the younger male. "T-tell Alastor 'm s-sorry.."

"Ya can do it when ya feel betta' kid.." Husk murmured softly as Angel started falling asleep. He bit his lip as he held Angel's hand so he'd know if the boy's heart stopped. His head snapped to the door when Alastor came in. "Kid threw up so watch where ya step. I'll clean it up when he's stabilized.."

"Mimzy said she's got some medication she can give him and some spells. if we're lucky, the spells'll help him recover. If not then he's gonna get a boot to the ass when we meet again in hell." Alastor spoke, sitting on the bed next to the sick boy. "I noticed him having signs of lead poisoning before but I didn't think it had already gotten to a deadly point.."

"All we can really do is sit and wait.." Husk murmured as he rested his head on his taller friend's shoulder. Alastor nodded in agreement. They barely knew Angel and he was technically a victim but they'd be damned if they let him die by something Alastor didn't cause.
