Finding the errant cousin

[serpentinthegarden]

Who: Anthony and Alec (Closed) - NOW WITH OPEN SECTION (Visit Alec in Hospital) 
What: Alec is drunk and wandering New York with a traitorous med alert bracelet letting his cousin know where he is. He is about to be found.
It goes poorly and Alec ends up being emergency transported to Mount Sinai Hospital where his heart is restarted and he is forced to stay for observation until Monday (May 18th)
When: Right after Alec's post, Evening of May 13th
Where: The subways of NYC
Rating/Warnings: One angry hurt drunk - anything could happen : Heart attack and Hospital mentions

Alec hadn't been at the hotel when Anthony arrived though the owner remembered having seen him... after being slipped fifty dollars and being threatened with motorcycle skid marks all over his lobby which was apparently the only room in the place he actually worried about being clean. Fortunately the med alert bracelet was still with Alec and still in pinging distance of the head office. Anthony chased that signal from one end of New York to the other until it occurred to him the only way his cousin could move that quickly was if he were on the subway.

Anthony's boot clicked against the concrete floor as he finally tracked the signal down to a certain station at the correct time for him to hop onto the train. He even managed to find the correct car before the whole train lurched forward and began its circuit around the city again.

"Wake up."

The soul of Alec's shoe was given a soft kick to aide in that request.

"What are you doing sleeping in the subway? Anyone could have found you down here."

He tried to say that he was alright but nothing came out. He even tried to move from Anthony as his cousin held him on the floor but everything felt like lead weights. Eventually the blackness found him to, deep and inescapable.

And if his heart had to be restarted later, well-- at least it was. Though he was unaware of everything except the dark.

Meanwhile Anthony got to hang out in a freezing cold lobby with shitty coffee and not enough room to do the caged tiger pacing he really wanted to do. Two steps, turn, two steps, turn... When he wasn't sending panicked texts to Aziraphale he was bothering the nursing staff for information.

Near dawn the Doctor comes out and informs him that his cousin's condition has been stabilized, but that they want to keep him in the hospital for a few days for observation. They also suggest that Anthony go home and get some rest, as for now Alec is unconscious and isn't likely to regain it for a few more hours at least.

Thankfully by dawn Fell would have arrived to settle him down and keep him sane enough to see the wisdom in that. But he would be back! He wasn't leaving his cousin alone in this place for too long.
