They rushed me to their medical center. Everything was blurry and starting to fade. They laid me on the table and started examining my leg. "Where's my brother?!" I hear while groaning in pain. "Hang in there, David!" I can feel Danny grab my hand and hold it tight. One of the medics grabs hydrogen peroxide and says, "Okay, this is going to hurt a lot." Before I could react she pours it on the dog bite. "Ahhh!" I squeeze Danny's hand. "Hey! You're hurting him!"
She looks closely at the cut, "You're going to need stitches..."
"What? No way I'm getting that!" I said.
"There's no other choice, David." She said while her voice shook. I look over at my brother and he looks back. "She's right David..."
"Okay...Let's do it." I swallow hard. She preps my skin and then hands me a towel. "Bite on this towel." I put the towel in my mouth and waited for the first pinch of pain.
She starts and the pain shoots up my leg. "Stay calm..."
Sweat starts to drip down my face as she continues to stitch the wound. "You're almost done stay with me." I feel my heart race and thump with every stab.
"I'm done, you can relax now. I'm just going to wrap it up." I can see relief on Danny's face as I let go of his hand. I take the towel out of my mouth as she wraps my leg. "Okay, you need to rest for a couple of days."

"Okay, thank you..." She nods, hands me pain medication, then leaves the room. Danny gives me a cup of water and I take my pill. Somebody busts through the door, "Mr. President, we have a situation..."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Danny looks at me, "I'll be back get some rest." I nod and he leaves the room urgently. I took a look at my leg which was still in pain. I laid back down and tried to relax by closing my eyes.
"David!" Joey and Juju come running into the room. "We have a serious problem!" Joey says.
"What? What's wrong?" I said about to panic.
"There's nothing wrong, they're not after us...yet," Juju says to Joey.
Joey ignores her and says, "They found a clue that somebody has been sabotaging this place and is giving away some of the supplies. What if they're looking for us?"
"But we haven't done anything we just got here, it has to be somebody else," I said trying to stay calm. I look at my right forearm with the tattoo. "I guess nobody saw this.."
They both looked at theirs. "We have to cover this up, or we're going to have to wear long sleeves till we leave here," Juju says.
"Joey! We need you ASAP!" Somebody yells through the door. Joey runs out without saying another word. I turn to my right to look out the window. I see a girl about my age on the ground with her hands up. "Who is that?" I thought to myself. I looked around the room and found crutches in the corner of the room. I slowly got out of bed and used the side of the bed and the wall to limp to the crutches.
I grab the crutches and put them under both of my armpits then slowly use the crutch to exit the room. I get outside to see a crowd standing around the girl. "Who are you? Do you work for anybody?"
The girl hesitates then speaks, "I'm just looking for somebody."
I hopped a little closer to get a closer look at the girl.
"Who are you looking for? What's your name?" Danny says. I push through the crowd with my crutches. My eyes widened when I saw who it was.
"My name is Erica and I'm looking for David."
