Matt, Rex and John had finished eating and were heading out to the parking lot when another one of their friends, Jeff, caught them in the hall. Jeff had ran over and grabbed onto John's arm, "Hey guys, wait!" All three of them stopped, and Matt and Rex braced themselves for Jeff's stares, but all he did was quickly look at them and nod. "I see you two are closer than ever."
"Haha very funny..." Rex rolled his eyes and would have walked away, but Matt had their feet planted and wasn't about to yield to Rex's struggle for control.
"Hey Jeff." Matt greeted, "What's up?"
"Not much, I just need to talk with John for a second. It's work related." Jeff didn't miss a beat. He saw the other three guys expressions change. They all knew that Jeff and John worked at the lab where the accident had taken place leaving Matt and Rex fused together. Jeff nodded slightly as though he could read all their minds, "Yes, it is about you two. Me and John need to go in so they can see if they can get you two apart."
"Hmm, ok!" Rex's eyes had lit up, "We'll drive you over there and drop you off. We wanted to stop by anyways and see if there was any news about... this!" Everyone was in agreement so they continued on their way to the car and drove off to the lab.
When they pulled up, Jeff and John jumped out and ran ahead while Matt and Rex argued over where to park. It took them ten minutes to find a spot. By the time they had and gone in through the entrance, Jeff and John had already disappeared into the back, behind the double doors. The secretary had done a double take upon seeing Matt and Rex approach the counter. "Oh, you must be Matt and Rex!"
"Actually, I'm Rex." Rex said, "Did Jeff and John go threw there?"
"Yes they did. You can too, just don't go through the next set of doors, it's employees only" Matt and Rex both nodded in unison and walked through the doors and found a single chair waiting in the next room. They were both curious as to why there was only one chair, but soon shrugged and sat down to wait for their friends, or anyone for that matter, to come in from the other door.
Matt and Rex had fall sleep by the time someone had come and startled them awake. It was the scientist from before. He looked down and the drowsy pair, "Ah, hello you two! How are you doing? Still stuck together I see! What brings you by today?"
Matt rubbed his eyes with a hand while Rex did the same with the other. "We came with Jeff and John. Where are they?"
"Oh..." Dr. Jones seemed to pull away at that question, "Umm... well you see... I'm sure they'll be right out! I'll go! Oh, and tell them to come see you! Yes, that's what I meant!" With that, Dr. Jones had run off back through the doors.
"What was that all about?" Rex turned and asked Matt.
"I don't know... But I think something happened to our friends!"
