27 Rehabilitation: Memory Extraction AI (1/2)

After about an hour or so, they finally arrived at Katz's research center, the Mental and Physical Anomaly Research Center. As Katz neared the entrance, a tall slender woman with curly black hair in a white lab coat was there, accompanied by two men in black suits.

”Is that the boy with the double personality?” the woman asked when she saw Karma lying down in the back seat.

”Yes. His condition is very unstable,” Katz replied. Is Laboratory A ready for experimention, Shirley?”

”Yes. The other doctor are just double checking a few things,” the woman called Shirley replied.

”Alright,” Katz replied. ”Guards, please carry this boy to Resting Area A.”

”Yes, Sir!” the two men in black suits replied. They carefully carried Karma out of the car and headed inside the lab building.

”You seem to be very excited about this test,” Shirley said when she noticed a small smile on Katz's face.

”Oh, how can I not be?” Katz replied. ”His condition provides a chance for new information to be revealed. It is truly marvelous.”

The two headed into the lab, where they were greeted by two men in the same lab coats as the one Shirley was wearing.

”Was that the boy whom we will be working with?” one of the men asked.

”Yes,” Katz replied. ”Dr. Shirley here told me that there was a need to double check the equipment and procedures to make sure everything would go smoothly. How is that coming along?

”We're almost ready,” the other man replied. ”We just need to run a confirmation test and we should be able to proceed with the experiment.”

”Perfect,” Katz said. ”Let's do that then.”

The four then proceeded to head to Laboratory A.

Meanwhile...

Karma was walking alongside his mom. They were having the time of their lives, going to the mall, eating at restaurants, and just having an overall great mother and son moment.

And then, to make a better day for the both of them, Karma's dad, who was always busy with work greeted them when they were on their way to the supermarket and they spent a lot of quality time together.

*I wish this moment would last forever* Karma thought happily.

But it didn't.

Karma suddenly seemed to be pulled away from his parents. In fact, he seemed to be pulled from the world he was in by an invisible force.

”What?!” Karma exclaimed in surprise. ”Mom! Dad! Help!”

But his parents smiled at him and turned away. Karma tried to cry out again, but no sound came out. Then there was screaming. Shirlls. Laughther.

”No! I didn't do it! I swear!” Karma screamed.

”Mr. Karma!” a voice shouted. A light appeared in front of Karma and he awoke.

”Wha-?” Karma started, but his head immediately started to hurt. He held his head in agony.

”Here, take these,” the voice from before said. Karma turned to the voice to find a lady in a nurse outfit. She had short black hair. In her hands laid two small blue pills and a cup of water.

”Who are you? Where am I?” Karma asked in a panic.

”Calm down,” the lady replied. ”You are here in Dr. Katz's Research Center. You suddenly passed out in his car and the guards carried you here per Dr. Katz's request.”

”I-I see,” Karma said as he tried to control his breathing. ”What are those pills?”

”They will help your mind stabilize, so the pain would be eased,” the lady replied.

Karma took the pill and the effects worked like a miracle. His head no longer ached. In fact, he felt in tip top condition.

”I feel great!” Karma exclaimed. Thank you... Uh...?”

”You cn call me Amy,” the lady replied, smiling.

Then, Katz came in.

”Oh!” Katz said upon seeing Karma. ”You're awake! How are you feeling?”

”After taking the pills that Ms. Amy gave me, I feel much better,” Karma replied.

”That is good,” Katz said, smiling. ”Are you ready for your rehabilitation to control your other side?”

”Y-Yes!” Karma replied excitedly.
