Patience is virtue

"Where is Alleyn?" Aaric asked after sometime when he did not find his friend for quite a few minutes. At first he thought that maybe he must have gone somewhere, but now since a lot of time has passed he was sure that there must be something amiss. 

On Hearing Aaric's question, Elijah replied casually.

"He has gone to the hospital. He said that he will be back in a few minutes." Pausing a little bit Elijah added.

"But it has been two hours since he has gone out. Should I give him a call?" 

 Aaric frowned after hearing Elijah. He thought for a while and gestured him to wait, and said that he will be calling and check on him. 

The phone kept on ringing, but nobody was answering from the other side, it made Aaric tensed. Knitting his brows into a knot, he tried to call him back again. Elijah who was sitting in front clearly saw the tensed expression on Aaric and easily understood that there was something which must have happened on Alleyn's end.
