7 Comatoast 3 (2/2)

The nurse looked in the rooms the doctor was a.s.signed to until she found him. The doctor looked at the nurse and smiled, ”Nurse Daniels. I trust everything is in order.” He said looking directly into her eyes. But her reaction shocked him.

She pursed her lips and then shook her head. Seeing her reaction he walked to her and then wrapped his hands around her shoulder and together they walked hastily to the cafeteria. There were a lot of people talking here so they could talk freely and not worry about being overheard.

Now that they were seated he asked, ”What's wrong?”

She took a deep breath through her nostrils, ”The boy is awake. And not just awake he is conscious. I was busy injecting the Dihelathide into him when the door opened. I got such a fright that I dropped the syringe. The person that walked in was Mr Montreal's daughter. But she had no idea what was going on. So I told her I was going to inject him. However, she saw me drop the syringe and then I tried to inject that same unsterilized needle into him. She wasn't too happy with that and threatened to have my license revoked. I talked her out of it but to do that I had to leave. When I got back I heard a new voice in the room. It was the boys. He was conscious, I have no idea how but these surpa.s.sers have always been tricky to diagnose. We don't have the equipment like Esciaya. Anyway, I was waiting for the best time to enter when I overheard them saying that the mother is a doctor. So again I couldn't inject him. As you know at first glance Adrenozen and Dihelathide look the same but when you bring it to the light, Dihelathide gives off a blue tint. There is no way a trained eye wouldn't notice that? And because she is a doctor she knows that it's policy to check the syringe in the light right before injection to make sure the right amount of liquid is in. If I don't do it she will suspect something is wrong. Hence I put the syringe in my pocket and walked into the room. That is when they called me so I called you.”

The doctor put his hand over his face in distress and then sighed, ”I had just told the staff the machine malfunctioned and in fact, the boy is sleeping soundly… If he is awake now I'll look incompetent. I've been working way too hard for that promotion and this will set me back…”

”So what do you suppose we do? The longer the boy is awake the more suspicious it's going to be when he falls asleep out of nowhere…”

The doctor began thinking… Until he finally found a plan, ”First I need you to throw away that syringe and its contents and get a new dosage. We only need 22.5ml now. Second I'll go back to the Adler's and tell them I'm not sure about his condition and we'd love to run some extra tests just to be sure. This will keep him here for the night and if we are running tests then there will be no visitors allowed. So you can inject him without worry then but before that, I will need your help with the tests. I'm glad you came to look for me personally. By wasting time like this we are making the Adler's fear there is something wrong with their son. We need to sow seeds of doubt in their mind so when we tell them that Kai pa.s.sed out again it will be believable. We can't control the Montreal's but we can control the Adler's and since the Adlers are back to paying the current bills they are in charge. The Montreal's still need to pay this month's bill which will only be billed at the end of the month. So if Kai is still in the hospital due to the fact that he pa.s.sed out, the inconvenience payment will be added too. That is all we need. The plan is still on. Let's set that mousetrap.”

The nurse smiled and then they stood up and they went their separate ways. Once they separated the doctor took his time to get to the Adler's. When he finally entered the room distress was written all over their faces. He smiled inwardly as the mouse took a step closer to the cheese on the trap.

Brianna Adler saw the doctor and immediately asked, ”Is there something wrong with Kai.” She said looking deeply into his eyes.

The doctor took a deep breath and then emptied his lungs through his mouth, ”I found something but I can't say anything until I know for sure. I would, however, love to run some tests on Kai just to be sure.”

Brianna nodded her head, ”I agree. I actually had you called in for just that. I want you to run a full check up on Kai. Leave no stone unturned. I know how long it takes so feel free to keep him overnight.”

The doctor tried hard not to seem excited so the facial expression he was making was rather odd. Everything was going just as he planned the mouse was now close enough to the cheese to lick it. After regaining his composure,” As you wish. In fact, we would like to begin right away. Rather safe than sorry right?”

She nodded her head, ”Definitely then we will be taking our leave… Bye Kai, see you tomorrow.” Then they left.

Once they were gone the doctor looked at Kai, ”We will be running tests on you. Can you stand?”

Kai removed his blankets and then he stood. He felt a bit off balance here and there but it was nothing that he couldn't handle. Kai suspected it's just because he hadn't walked in a long time. Once he was on his feet the nurse walked into the room.

The doctor looked at the nurse and then whispered to her, ”We are going to run the tests on him now. Luckily he is the only patient in the private wing. This way we don't need to worry about him being seen by others. If we move at the right time we can hide him. Plus we don't need permission to use the machines because that would be a problem with priority one patients. So let's get him tested, be vigilant.”

The nurse nodded her head and then she ran point and made sure they was n.o.body so that they could move Kai. They had told Kai the reason they keep stopping then walking is that they did not want him to walk for too long. Once they got Kai to the testing room. They began running a series of tests on him. Because they had other patients other than Kai they needed to take care of too. They were back and forth in the private wing and the tests took much longer than expected. At 00:00 the tests were finally done. So they covertly took Kai back to his room.

Once they were back the doctor said, ”Well that marks the end of my s.h.i.+ft. I'll see you tomorrow nurse Daniels.” And so he left.

Once Kai was back in his bed, nurse Daniels took the syringe out of her pocket, ”I'm going to give you something to sleep. You just had a full day of tests and you need to sleep so that you have energy for tomorrow when you get discharged.”

Kai smiled then she took his arm and placed the needle into him. This time she wasn't going to hold it to the light. There was no need to do that she had already checked how much was inside. She injected the needle into Kai's vein. Then she pressed the thumb press and then he fell asleep. 'Sleep well my money tree. See you in two days,' seeing that the plan was going perfectly without a hitch the mouse moved closer to the cheese and took a big bite.

Once Kai fell asleep the nurse took all the test results and put it in his file. Then she left skipping with joy in her mind because her body was too tired. Once everything was taken care she clocked out knowing she was going to receive a bonus. As she left the hospital she sent a tick to her accomplice to tell him that everything went according to plan. It was only then that he fell asleep.

The next day the doctor and the nurse arrived at work at the same time. They were well rested as they only needed to come in at 11 am. Once they saw each other they smiled at each other then they placed their keycards on the scanner and then walked in. They looked at each other standing side by side, ”It's a good day hey Nurse Daniels,” the doctor said in the poshest accent he could imitate.

.

The nurse in good spirits laughed, ”Ah it's a lovely day doctor.” She said copying his posh accent. The two laughed all the way up the elevator. They were on their way to go see Kai. Even though he is sleeping he is still a priority one patient and they had to make sure that nothing was wrong with him. As they got to his room they heard people speaking from the inside. However, they recognized the voices. It was a doctor and a nurse who was sent to check up on Kai while they were off s.h.i.+ft.

Once they knew the situation the doctor walked in the room and said in his most arrogant voice ever, ”Okay your work is done time for the A team to step in.”

The doctor and the nurse were now in the room. The doctor looked at the other two with a smug face but they didn't react at all. That's when he knew something was wrong.

”Oh, nurse you are here. Thank you for giving me that injection. You were right I feel amazing.” Kai said sitting upright and smiling, revealing all his teeth.

The nurse and the doctor both looked at Kai in disbelief. What the heck was going on!? They couldn't understand why he was awake. The doctor wondered maybe the nurse didn't inject him like she had said but judging by her expression she had no idea what the cause was herself.

The nurse and the doctor looked at their co-worker's stupefied expressions. Then the doctor said, ”Where you expecting him to be asleep?”

Hearing those words their two bodies tensed up and they felt a strange metallic sensation pressing down on their necks, 'Oh no! Does she know?'

Then the doctor said, ”I would understand if you did. He went through a number of tests after just waking up.”

The two exhaled a large amount of carbon dioxide over an extended period of time through their nostrils, 'Whew, seems they don't know about us.' The doctor and the nurse thought as the pressure they felt vanished.

”Anyway, I guess it's your time to take over here. Just before we go, you wouldn't mind telling us why we found trace amounts of helavloxin in his blood? As you know this would only be found in the blood if someone injected excited Dihelathide into him. Usually, it's untraceable but when it is shaken violently or when it is dropped. The particles inside become excited leaving behind helavloxin in the blood. It makes no difference at all and neither is it poisonous but it's just not untraceable anymore. The amount we found in his blood correlating to the time it was in his system suggests that an amount of 19-23ml was injected into his blood. That is an amount that would knock out any normal body for two days. But why would someone want him asleep for two days? I don't know maybe because if he was asleep at the end of the month they'd be paid a bonus…Unfortunately for them, they made one too many errors in their plan. You see 23ml of Dihelathide is enough to knock out an ordinary surpa.s.ser out for two days. But not one that already awakened let alone a third generation surpa.s.ser. They are particularly resilient. This mistake had to be the doing of a doctor… Then there is the matter of the helavloxin in the blood. This mistake had to be made by a nurse. No doctor wouldn't know what happens when you excite Dihelathide. Also, 30ml of Dihelathide was taken from the inventory and the reason given was incorrect. Normally n.o.body would verify since the reason given was common but this time it was warranted. It's strange that 30ml disappeared and then magically19-23ml appears in this boy, very strange indeed. Lastly with all this information brought forward the staff is questioning the legitimacy of your statement when you said that the red light was a mistake and that the boy was sleeping soundly… Now you don't need to explain anything to me. You can explain that to my friends in blue. You guys can come in.”

As she said that two men in uniform came and handcuffed the nurse and doctor and began reading them their rights. It was at this moment that they realized they were the mice drawn to the cheese trapped in their own trap. They tried to squirm their way out of it as they felt the weight of their mistakes pressing down on their necks.

As they were pushed out of the room the doctor shouted, ”This is madness! You have no proof. I am going to sue you and this hospital! I want a lawyer.” He screamed and shouted all the way down. Where he b.u.mped into the Adler's, they glared at the dirty doctor until he was gone. They were notified of what happened after the investigation took place. Once they were gone they walked to Kai's room. That's where they saw him sitting upright in bed and he was okay. They were relieved and then they asked the new doctor a.s.signed to Kai about the results of his tests.

The doctor first greeted the Adler's then she apologized for her colleague's actions after that she took out Kai's file, ”Well after running a full check-up we can say that there is nothing wrong with your son. However, we did find some strange changes in his body. For starters, his haemoglobin is able to carry five oxygen particles instead of four which is normal for surpa.s.sers. But the strangest change is his myelin sheath. You a doctor so you know it's responsible for carrying nerve impulses. It insulates the nerves making sure messages aren't lost. It also increases the speed of the nerve impulses. You see now in your son's case his myelin sheath seems to be made from a different material than normal. After doing some tests we discovered that not only is it more durable but it also increases the speed at which nerve impulses are sent across the body. Practically doubling your son's reaction speed. These changes are weird but they are by no means harmful only beneficial. A study has shown that lightning wielders are 40% more likely to develop a form of multiple sclerosis in their old age. However, in your son's case, we think that even if he uses his abilities every day there is only about a 5% chance he will get it.”

Once the doctor had finished Kai's parents thanked her earnestly and then she left. That's when Zack Adler looked at Kai and said, ”Let's go home.”
