Come back down.

"Guys" Cherry said. "This is great! Spunky's gonna be okay!"



"Let's all have a group hug" Spanky said.



Strawberry, Quaker, Cherry, Pixie, Spanky, Popcorn, and Poser all had a group hug, as Muffins walked into the room, looking at them strangely.



"What?" Popcorn asked.



"I don't wanna know" Muffins said, heading for a chair.



"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Poser asked, breaking free from the group hug.



"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.



"Cherry and I have syphilis" Poser whispered.



"Okay..." Muffins was confused.



"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Poser said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"



"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.



"I'm pretty sure I do" Poser replied, looking scared.



"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"



"What, what's wrong?" Poser asked. It's treatable, bro, we'll be fine"



"Me and Farrah had sex tonight..." Muffins said slowly.



"What the hell, Muffins?!?!"



"Then I found out she's only fifteen..."



"Oh dear lord" Poser said.



"I've gotta go tell him" he started to walk towards the elevator, but Poser grabbed his arm.



"Spunky's getting transferred back to L-Town tomorrow" Poser said. "Wait till you find out first, and if you have it then tell her right before we leave. You'll never see her again"



"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Poser the other way to get tested.



Meanwhile, Cherry was allowed to go into Spunky's room and wait for him to wake up. She was super anxious, pacing around back and forth. She looked over at the empty bed, with the sheets still messy, and felt guilty.



Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.



"Cherry..."



She turned around.

"Spunky!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"



"No..." Spunky gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.



A nurse walked in. "Spunky, you had an accident" she said gently.



"Those mexicans..." Spunky said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."



"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"



Spunky tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.



"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"

She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.

"Spunky, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.



"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"



Cherry stepped back in the hallway for a few minutes, and when she came back, she said "They're going to be on the lookout"

Bam.
