60 Chapter 60 Bombs in the Brains (2/2)
”We could find you another PED, there was a warehouse full of parts,” said Dustin, awkwardly.
”The main components necessary are down on the planet, and I'm pretty sure I won't make it that long.If you don't let me cut that thing out of your head, then I'm done talking to you.”He turned and headed for the door.There was some noticeable sagging to his skin, now that Dustin looked at him.He couldn't shake the feeling that this guy was the real thing.Besides, what did he have to lose anymore?
”All right, I'll lay down,” grumbled Dustin, noticing Olivia's surprised face.The man paused then turned back.As he lay down on the table, he realized with a jolt, it was the same lab from that memory he had when he touched the glass.He almost got back up.
”Flip over.The bomb is in the back of your skull, next to where the spine connects.Your healing is probably so high, I'm going to have a hell of a time getting done.”
Dustin flipped over, and grasped the bed in anticipation of the pain.
”You need to remove those crystal scales off the back of your head, this thing is sharp, but not that sharp.”
The scales receded after a quick order to the PED, and then the first cut came.It hurt, but not as bad as he had thought.There were many things that had hurt way worse than this.Breathing slow and deep, and holding onto the bed for dear life, he felt it when the blade started to cut through the skull.His teeth vibrated and tears squeezed out of his eyes as he fought for control.
”Damn! Your bomb is bigger than mine was!”There was a loud thunk, then after several moments, his head had healed enough he could sit back up.
”Your turn, Olivia,” he said, motioning for her to put down her guns.She shook her head.
”I can't just lay there like that!” she whispered fiercely.
”There're straps on the bed and I can hold your head still,” said Dustin.
”You don't want to have gone through all that to get to this point, then have them blow your head off!” growled 15.
She moved haltingly, finally being pulled by Dustin to the bed.She lay down stiffly, and allowed them to tighten the straps around her onto the bed.In any other situation, Dustin would have thought this kinky, but all he could remember was the feeling of his teeth being vibrated as the knife cut through his skull.
”Remove the scales from your head, or this whole thing is pointless,” whispered 15.His face was starting to sag, and his hands were starting to tremble.There wasn't much time left for him.
As the scales receded, Dustin watched him first cut through the skin.It was healing almost as fast as he cut it.Then he started cutting through the skull.She muffled a scream against the bed, as it no doubt started vibrating her teeth.
”There it is, can you grab it?” 15 whispered.His hands were shaking so bad, that he dropped the knife onto the table and moved away.Dustin plucked the metal ball from her head, then nudged the bone and skin back into place.He dropped the bomb into the metal bowl that held his.
Boom!!!
