The ambulance had already arrived to take Bill to the hospital. Jacob was worried about what would happen if they treated him while in this vulnerable state. He confided in Jon.
"We can't let them take him."
"What? How come?"
"You saw what happened didn't you?"
"I just saw the flash and then he was on the-"
"Okay, right now he is in a very delicate condition. That flash you saw was from the little stone in his soup. I don't really know too much except right now, there's a reaction going on inside him. Right now, he's going to be in a lot of pain and then well, we'll see for ourselves."
"Well, I know I'm probably going to regret saying this, but what do you suggest we do?"
"We have to stop that ambulance!"
They ran out the front door of the restaurant. Jacob was despaired to see the ambulance had already left. In the ambulance, Bill was feeling excruciating pain in his veins.
