As Eagle One departed the Antarctic cafe, Eagle Two and Eagle Three exchanged worried glances. Although they might not agree with their brother's sense of morality, he was still their brother.
"All for one..." Eagle Two started reluctantly.
"...And one for all!" Eagle Three finished, unenthusiastically.
Eagle Two and Eagle Three then stood, and followed their brother outside, and all the way back to the Rubyland hospital where E Ruby had been admitted.
"I'm sorry sirs, what is your purpose here?" the attendant at the entrance to the hospital asked. "There is Mosestarian Malady spreading about like a wildfire, and we can't just let anyone into the hospital."
"We're here to see E Ruby" explained the three clones in unison.
"Oh, I see. Well, I'm sorry sirs. Only direct relatives of the patients are permitted into the hospital."
"I'm her father," explained Eagle Three.
"I'm her husband," explained Eagle Two.
"She's my patient," explained Eagle One.
"Oh, errr, I see," answered the hospital clerk, trying to take all the information in at once. "Well, I guess if you are her doctor," the clerk said, adjusting her spectacles and trying her hardest to distinguish any difference in appearance between Eagle One and the other two clones, "I guess Dad and Hubby can go with you."
"Excellent!" replied Doctor Eagle.
"Oh, but before you go through, please may I see your I'm-Not-Mosestarian Passports?" asked the clerk.
"No need," explained Doctor Eagle looking backward at the hospital clerk, as the three strode past the checkpoint. "I've checked them already - these two are most definitely not Mosestarian."
By the time the three clones had entered the intensive care facility, they'd adorned themselves with apparel more suited to hospital roles.
The three encountered E Ruby in a hospital bed, barely able to sit up, and connected via various tubes to an assortment of machines. A nurse was speaking to E Ruby, holding a clipboard in front of her weakened frame, and offering her a pen. Eagle Two noted that the pen did not look expensive at all.
"I just need you to sign here, dear. You won't be needing your organs for very much longer - let someone else use them when you shuffle off this mortal coil..."
"Nonsense!" exclaimed Eagle Two crossly, snatching the paper from the nurse's clipboard, and tearing it up in front of her. "E Ruby is as tough as an old boot, and I'm going to see to it that she outlasts her great, great, great, great grandmother Rubina's record."
At the mention of her great, great, great, great grandma Rubina, E Ruby weakly opened her eyes a little more. Had she arrived yet? Was this Heaven? Could the family matriarch be here already?
"And I take great offense at you preying on my weak daughter!" exclaimed Eagle Three indignantly. "Trying to steal her organs simply because your hospital is too shoddy to offer the life-saving medicines she needs! I do intend to sue you and your hospital into oblivion!"
The nurse was looking a little guilty and a lot worried. "Who are you, and who let you in here?" she asked the clones angrily.
"I let them in!" interjected Doctor Eagle, as he scooped a spoonful of foul-tasting medicines into E Ruby's mouth. "I'm E Ruby's doctor, and I'm very unhappy with the level of service you've been providing my patient," he scowled. "Most unethical!"
Eagle One knew that he could have his medical licence revoked if ever the Medical Board were to find out that he had administered medicine without providing E Ruby fully-informed consent. However, given his medical licence was as fake as his I'm-Not-Mosestarian Passport, and the medicine he had administered was an all-natural concoction of herbs and spices developed over centuries by the wisest of Mosestarian wise men, and ultimately, that he knew it would work, it was a chance he was willing to take.
Eagle One kicked off the brakes on E Ruby's mobile bed. "Nurse!" he exclaimed. "I'm taking my patient to another ward."
Eagle One strode out of the intenstive care ward, closely followed by Eagle Two and Eagle Three, wheeling a weak-but-rapidly-strengthening E Ruby, and an assortment of machines still connected to her via various tubes.
