Episode 4
*they went abt in the shadows bcoz of Morty being a HIV virus bt they eventually reached the hospital*
Alexis; 8climbed off8
Morty: *climbed off n petted the dog* Now go hide until I need u, darling *turns to Alexis* Well, lead the way, my friend
Alexis; 8nods and goes inside8
Morty: *followed behind Alexis, trying to keep out of sight*
Alexis; 8went ozzy's room and knocked the door8
Ozzie: *looks up* C...Come in
Alexis; 8opened the door8
Ozzie: *sees Alexis n Morty* Hey, Lex. Hey, Morty. Long time no see
Morty: I could say so myself as well, Osmosis
Alexis; How are you/
Ozzie: OK, I guess. Doc's said I'll probably be out in another 2 mths
Alexis; 8nods8
Ozzie: Wht abt u, Morty? Wht brings u here? N man, wht happened to u? U look like a train wreck
Morty: S'ok, my friend. It's wht u'd expect of a virus on the hiding. I hear everything frm Alexis. I'm reli sorry for ur loss
Alexis; 8bit his tongue8
Ozzie: *lowered his head* Y...Yeah...thanks anyway
Morty: Anywho, I hate to be the bearer of bad news bt... *told Ozzie wht he told Alexis abt Jared's body's situation*
Alexis; 8held his breath8
Ozzie: No! I'm not gonna let them do tht! Havent they caused enough damage already?
Morty: So u need to hurry up n decide on a funeral date asap, before he becomes the property of the state n be dissected like a lab rat
Alexis; That's fucking bullshit, the person should be willing to give up their body for research
Morty: Yes, well, life is nvr fair in a young city. Tht's how it is. So wht will u do now?
Ozzie: I'm gonna go claim Jared's body right away before they hv any bright ideas! Which morgue was he kept, Lex?
Alexis; 8told him8
Ozzie: I'm gonna go there, right now
Morty: Now hold ur horses there, Osmosis. Ur still in recovery, n I dont think long distance travel would be good for u
Ozzie: Well I cant just sit here n wait until Jared becomes the property of the state!
Alexis; 8helped ozzy onto his back8
Ozzie: Woah, wht the...?
Morty: A little unconventional, bt tht'll do. C'mon. *grabbed Oz's regular clothes tht was in the hospital wardrobe* Excalibur is out bk. We better make a move before we get caught
Alexis; 8ran out at break neck speed8
Morty: *goes out n whistled for the dog*
8the loyal friend runs up8
Morty: C'mon, hop on *hops up onto Excalibur n gave Alexis a hand*
Alexis; 8helps ozzy up8
Ozzie: *held on tight to Morty*
Morty: C'mon *took Alexis' hand n helped him up* Ally 'oop! Let's go, Excalibur
8the dog took off8
*they rode again within the shadows until they reached the state morgue, since Jared was taken in as a convict's body*
Alexis; 8snarled8
Morty: We're here. Tht's where the scent last lie
Ozzie: Right *had changed into his normal clothes on the way and made his way up to the receptionist*
Alexis; 8fallowed8
Ozzie: *approached the receptionist* Um, I'm here to claim Jared Leucocyte Jones-Roja's body
Receptionist: Who wants to knw?
Ozzie: I'm his mother. Osmosis. Osmosis Jones-Roja
Alexis; 8folded his arms8
Receptionist: *chks the records* Ah, ur the one who wasted his own son, huh?
Alexis; Watch it bitch
Receptionist: U watch it, virus, or I will make sure tht u will nvr get any clearance
Alexis; 8growled8
Ozzie: Just tell me where he is, OK? I'm the mother, so I'm supposed to claim him before u guys do
Receptionist: Fine, fine *clicks at the keyboard* Well, the plc he was kept in is...
Maria: Well, fancy meeting you here
Alexis; 8spun round8
Ozzie: *looks at her* Hey, Officer Amino
Maria: I see u hv recovered there, Jones-Roja
Ozzie: Not as much as u might hope for, bt I'm still living. Wht do u want?
Alexis; 8narrowed his eyes8
Maria: Oh, I was just going to make the statement of claiming ur son as property of the state
Ozzie: Sorry, Officer Amino, bt I've beat u to the punch. Jared's mine now
Alexis; 8heads to the morgue8
Ozzie: *followed behind*
Maria: *followed as well* Well since ur here, I might as well tell u. We're gonna take wht's ours first, then the boy is all urs
Alexis; Over my dead body
Ozzie: Wht does Jared hv tht u need? I wont allow u to taint my son's body
Maria: Well, technically he is considered an Elektra clone, n ur cold pill friend said he got tht frm a heart transplant. So, we just want the convict tht's inside him, is all. No harm taking out his heart now, innit?
Alexis; 8looked at ozzy8
Ozzie: *thought abt it n knew Maria was right. It was the heart's fault tht got him into this mess, n it was because of the heart, he had to kill his own son. The heart had to go. If he were to bury his son, he wanted him to be buried as his son, not mixed up with the she-demon's essence in him*
Maria: Well? Wht say u?
Ozzie: Fine. Take it. Take tht she-demon out of my son, bt ur not having his body
Maria: Deal
Alexis; But be warned, if it isn't destroyed soon heads will roll
Maria: An Amino doesnt bk out on their word, unlike viruses like u
Alexis; 8hissed8
Ozzie: Fine by me
Maria: *nodded n chked again her card where Jared was kept n pushed past them, unlocking the door with the card*
Alexis; 8stayed next to ozzy8
Ozzie: *as soon as the door opened, he made his way in n saw the body on the autopsy table, the cloth covering him whole*
Maria: *buzzed in for a coroner*
Alexis; 8shivered8
Ozzie: *came up to the body n undid the covers, revealing Jared underneath. He looked so calm, so serene, like he was only sleeping n not dead*
Alexis; 8felt sick8
Ozzie: *his hand trembled as he caressed his son's hair* J...Jared...I'm...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry... *hug the boy's body close to his chest n sobbed*
Alexis; 8hung his head8
Ozzie: *cradled him close, kissing his forehead ovr n ovr again*
Maria: Coroner's here. Better get it ovr n done with
Alexis; 8twitched his ears8
*the coroner came in with a container of formalin n his surgical equipment, gently telling Oz n Alexis to step aside as he did his work*
Alexis; 8gently pulled ozzy back8
Ozzie: *nodded, staying close to Alexis*
Alexis; 8stroked his arm8
*the coroner did his work, cutting n dissecting n digging. Aftr abt 20 minutes, he managed to extract teh heart out n put it in the formalin jar, passing it to Maria before stitching Jared bk up*
Maria: Right. All done now. He's all urs *puts the container into her bag*
Alexis; 8narrowed his eyes8
Coroner: *done stitching up Jared, then took the papers* Would the immediate family pls sign the release forms?
Ozzie: *came up to him* I'm the mom *signed for the papers*
Maria: Well, gtg, n...uh... *looked a little awkward* Sorry for ur loss *walked out with the container*
Alexis; 8snarled, smelling a rat8
Ozzie: *picks Jared up in his arms, wrapping him ard in a blanket to cover him* Can we go now...pls?
Alexis; 8nods8
Ozzie: *carried Jared out of the state morgue n to the bk where Morty n the dog was waiting*
Morty: All good? I thought I just saw a cop come in just now
Alexis; 8grunted8
Ozzie: Yeah, all good. Let's just go
Morty: Alright. Where to?
Ozzie: Bk to the hospital. I wanna hv my son kept somewhere I can be close to before I arrange his funeral
Alexis; 8helped him up8
Morty: *gave a hand as well n clicked for the dog to make a move*
8the dog took off with it's passengers8
*aftr a bit of a bumpy, shady ride, they reached the hospital, in which there was a small panic going on n they could see Antonio there, meaning it was his turn to visit Ozzie*
Ozzie: Oh boy... *cradled Jared's body close n got off the dog with Morty's help*
Antonio; 8ran up8
Ozzie: Hey, Tony *smiled guiltily*
Morty: G'day, mate. Long time no see
Antonio; Si, been a while
Ozzie: I'm sorry I ran out again. I... *his legs suddenly feeling weak as he fell to the ground. Everything tht just happened was just a little overwhelming for his still-healing body*
Antonio; 8caught him8
Morty: Let's get him inside. I'll take Jared to the morgue *takes Jared's body*
Antonio; 8carried ozzy in8
Ozzie: *held onto Antonio* How long were u at the hospital?
Antonio; Ten minutes
Ozzie: Oh, OK. Sorry to make u worry
Antonio; You had business to do
Ozzie: *smiled sadly* Yeah, I knw *gets laid onto the bed gently* Is...Thrax OK now?
Antonio; Still in bad shape
Ozzie: Is...Is he at least eating or something?
Antonio; 8sighed8
Ozzie: *got the idea* Oh...Will...Will he be able to visit me somehow?
Antonio; He's very weak
Ozzie: *nodded*
Morty: *came in* I've put him nice n secure in the morgue
Antonio; Thank you
Ozzie: Thanks. Where's Alexis?
Morty: On his way ovr. He just wanted to make sure Jared is stored well n all the paperwork legit
Antonio; 8nods8
Morty: *sat beside Ozzie*
Antonio; 8took a seat as well8
Ozzie: Thanks for everything, man
Morty: Anything for a friend, Osmosis. So...how is Julius doing right now? I hope he's OK
Antonio; 8bit his tongue8
Ozzie: Not too good, I heard. He n Thrax share a strong brotherly bond. If Thrax is in pain, so is he
Morty: Oh my...Tht doesnt sound good
Antonio; It isn't ever sunce they first met Julius has always been concerned for Thrax
Morty: I understand. Thrax has always been ur little brother aftr all
Antonio; 8nods8
Ozzie: *sighed n buried his face in the pillows, feeling upset abt all this*
Antonio; 8patted Ozzy's back8
Morty: Dont be so hard on urself, Osmosis. U did wht u had to do. I'm sure Jared doesnt blame u for it, n neither does ur husband
Ozzie: *doesnt seem convinced*
Antonio; 8bit his lip8
Alexis; 8soon came in8
Morty: *looks up* Ah, Alexis. How's things ovr there?
Alexis; Jared's safe in the morgue, we just need to wait that's all
Ozzie: *nods then still went bk to sulking*
Alexis; 8cocked his brow8
Morty: *shook his head, giving him a He-blames-himself-again look*
Alexis; 8sighed8
Ozzie: *curled up under the covers, trying to hold bk a sob*
Antonio; 8stroked his hair8
Morty: *jerked his head, gesturing tht he should hv a private talk with the bros*
8the two brothers left their brother-in-law to rest8
Morty: *led the bros to the visitor's lounge*
Alexis; What's up/
Morty: U think it would be possible to bring Thrax ovr to visit Osmosis later on? Or tomorrow? Whenever ur free?
Alexis; Easier said than done
Morty: Just try. Carry him or send a wheelchair in or something. Bring him here. I've got something tht might make both of them feel better
Antonio; You sure/
Morty: *smiled n nodded* Most definitely...well, I hope
Alexis; You hope/
Morty: I'm not 100% sure whether or not it will make them feel better, bt at least they would be meeting each other n stop wallowing in misery n have everything resolved btwn them, right?
Alexis; We suppose
Morty: So, wen can u bring him ovr?
Alexis; 8thought8
Morty: *waited for either of them to decide*
Antonio; 8bit his lip8
Morty: Well? Wht's the verdict? U gotta decide
Alexis; We're not sure
Morty: *sighs n shrugs* Well, if ur tht indecisive, then u guys better go bk n discuss it with the others
8they nodded8
Morty: Well, tell me wen ur ready. I'll probably be here for a while to watch ovr Osmosis, since I dont hv much to do
Alexis; You don't mind/
Morty: Not at all. I dont hv much to do n besides, easier access to food thru the hospital cafeteria
Alexis; Alright, we'll call ya
Morty: *nodded n left to Ozzie's room*
8the bros soon headed off as well8
Morty: *watched ovr Ozzie, who had already fallen asleep*
