APPREHENDED

Alex and the rest of his teammates went back to the Avanti manor, and when they arrived, Camron forced Alex to get his ears treated there.

"Seriously, I'm okay," Alex repeated for the umpteen time since they arrived in the manor.

"Oh I know that you're okay, but a little treatment never killed anyone," Camron said. "Well, unless it's a rare case." He added.

"Drake, do I look like I need treatment?" Alex asked.

"Since day one." Drake thought out loud.

"What?"

"Nothing, no, why would you need treatment? You are as healthy as healthy can ever be." Drake quickly added.

"Forget it, I asked the wrong person that question." Alex's facepalmed his forehead hard in frustration.

"Let's all just agree that you're okay, but you still need to get the blood in your ears cleaned… and in the process get it checked." Katherine chipped in.

"You guys aren't going to let me be until I do this?"

"Pretty much."
