Heiji's POV
"How's he holdin' up, Doc?" I ask intothe speaker, anxiously waiting for his reply even though it is only a matter ofseconds before he answers. I only heard about Kudo's situation about a few daysago. Nobody felt it important to tell me my best friend was dumped by hisgirlfriend and was suffering from depression. Nope. Not important at all.
"Not too well. I've been having Ailook after him, but he's empty, and-" He lowers his voice as if he'safraid somebody will overhear. "He tried to commit suicide thismorning."
"WHA-?" I blurt out, shocked.Kudo, the guy who was all for living, Kudo, the teenager who would even savemurderers from death, tried to kill himself? I knew his situation with neechanwas bad, but for him to be this bad...
"Ai-chan found him with a smallbottle of pain killers in his hand this morning. And the thing was almost halfempty." Half-empty. One small bottle of drugs capable of death. How couldhe do such a thing?
"What's his condition?" If heseriously downed that many pills, then the guy is probably is seriously sick atbest. My heart beats like a hummingbird's wings as I almost make out the unsurebreaths of the Professor. Kudo better not be dying, I think. If he dies I'll neverforgive him...
Um... Okay, looks like it's my story....
