Chapter 15: Vampires in the Hospital
At the end of Route 27, enter Becky Street, and head northwest at Becky First Street in the middle section, where Barton Mercy Hospital is located. x. Life is actually very convenient for those who live in this area of Becky Street, and because of the history, you can find all the amenities that a city needs in the surrounding area.
It was nearly midnight, and the neon on Becky Street was at its most vibrant, but after a few streets of separation, the street where Barton Mercy Hospital was located was not touched by colorful lights, and the dim streetlights and glowing lights made the hospital look like a raised tomb.
Markers drawn in fluorescent materials marked the location of the emergency room on both sides of the road, and three men pushed open the door to the emergency room.
"Do you need help?" the doctor on duty hurriedly stepped forward, his gaze already on the three of them. He really didn't see the blood of the people who usually showed up here at night, and he didn't look like he was in any pain, so he was really questioning.
"You didn't see us. Zach's eyes were red and he said to the responsible doctor. Then the three of them directly crossed the doctor on duty with a somewhat confused expression, and walked in without stopping.
At night, the main entrance to the hospital was closed, and the emergency room was the only entrance, and Zach repeated his words before a nurse could speak.
Zach smiled inexplicably, it felt good.
I don't know how many medical staff I encountered, the bright lights in the emergency room gradually weakened, and the corridor began to darken, only the emergency lights in the corner of the wall emitted a leisurely fluorescence.
Zack's gaze was no longer level, but upward, in the curved mirror hanging above the corridor, between the stout Benjamin and the calm-faced Mike, two red rays floating in the air. The nurse reflected in the mirror looked at the two red rays in confusion, "There is no one behind the corner." Zach's voice turned at the end of the corridor.
The three turned the corner. Zach leaned slightly to the side and let go of the nurse with a confused expression. When they walked by completely, the nurse shook her head and complained, 'Confused on the night shift. 'Walked around the corner. Zach pulled out his bottle and tilted his head back in Benjamin's wrinkled chuckle.
"Well deserved. ”
Zach smiled dryly and patted the demon beside him. "Mike, I'm tired, it's your turn. ”
Mike nodded, the inky black spreading out in his eyes, his arms stretched forward, clenched slowly.
There was no change around them, just the three of them quickened their pace. They passed by standing, sitting, and lying figures, statues who seemed to be unable to breathe, and had no sense of the three people passing by. When turning the corridor again. Mike's palm loosened, the blackness in his eyes quickly retracted, and his steps staggered forward. Zach grabbed Mike and patted him on the back, "Then it's my turn." ”
And in the corridor they had turned, the stagnant man resumed his movements. It's just that he subconsciously pressed his chest that suddenly rose and fell rapidly, wondering where this short-lived feeling of suffocation came from. Of course, they'll never know.
I should be glad to have a demon on board. Zach and Benjamin had intended to advance violently, that is, to enter with lightning speed. As for the people who were hit by the 'lightning', there will be one more case of 'the hospital night shift staff being mysteriously knocked unconscious' in Barton City. Now, they can do it in a gentler way, except for a little slower, and it doesn't hurt to do anything.
James had left Wells' ward number. Actually, it doesn't work. Because as soon as he reached the third floor, Zach saw two policemen sitting in chairs with their heads down, obviously dozing off.
"How do you get on ......?"
"You didn't see us. Zach looked at the female nurse who was standing up behind the nurse's station, and such a false memory, which was clearly contrary to the truth, would not be easy to succeed. Zach was able to get here with the Eyes of Charm because it was midnight. Common sense makes it easy for medical staff to accept the setting that no one is there at this time, and then it is dependent on Zach to eat without interruption since noon.
Benjamin was already frowning, and the deeper he went into the hospital, the stronger the smell of various medicines became. So he seemed to be a little heavy, and the two policemen guarding the door snorted before fainting. Benjamin shrugged, "What are you doing, what if they wake up halfway through?"
Zach shook his head, Benjamin was probably just trying to do something. After all, we know that for tonight, Benjamin also slept all afternoon, with the intention of violently rushing forward, but with the rotation of Mike and Zack, it is too 'gentle' now, and Benjamin has no sense of participation.
"I'll watch from the outside. Mike glanced at Benjamin in a consultative tone. Unlike Leon at the Mill, he is not curious about the werewolf species, but a little more nervous.
Zach didn't refuse, and Benjamin pushed the door into the room.
Zach sighed, and the night light in the corner printed the man in the hospital bed. The metal tripod lifts the plaster and bandaged legs, and between the split legs, the fixed neck rests straight on the pillow. Zach no longer recognized the human face peeking out of the bandage.
Seth, how much did they do?
"Wake up, Wells. Zach hesitated to pinch Wells' nose because he really didn't know where this guy could touch. Now it looked like he was in a cast and bandage, and it would fall apart when touched.
The plaster man lying on the bed suddenly moved, and Zach let go of his hand and looked at the former civil servant with a smile, "It's nice to see you again, Wells, remember me?" ”
After a brief moment of surprise, the former civil servant blinked blankly, his pupils kept contracting, dilating, repeating, unable to focus. The guy who was so blind that he was almost blind couldn't see the two people standing next to the bed in the darkness with only a trace of fluorescence, but fortunately, he seemed to remember Zack's voice, "Zach Grande?"
"Hah, it's me. Zach's hand dangled in front of Wells' face, and he watched as the other man narrowed hard, followed the movement of his hand, and pointed at Benjamin, "That's Benjamin." ”
"Uh-" Wells seemed confused, his voice lengthened. His eyes looked ridiculously left and right, but there was a blur on either side, "Grande's two brothers." Uh, now, what time is it? Why are you here? Where are my guards?......"
Zach put his finger in front of Wells's mouth, which was noticeably louder, and stopped him from continuing to ask.
"Do you want to continue sleeping?" though knowing that the other party can't see it. But Zach still smiled habitually, and the red in his pupils gradually expanded in the iris, "Answer me a few questions, and you can continue to sleep, how about it?"
"Good, good. "Even if the head is immobilized. But Wells still expressed his affirmation with a slightly swaying body, and the tripod with his legs hanging shook for a while.
Zach pouted, "Say with your mouth, don't move." "Human beings are already very fragile in the eyes of vampires, and now Wells is extremely fragile in Zack's eyes, and Zach actually has a trace of sympathy.
"Who's calling the police?" Zakla sat down over the chair next to the bed, leaning his face back towards a confused Wells, his swollen eyelids making his loose eyes look even more ridiculous.
This is what Zach has always wondered. Seeing Wells' state, the doubts were even greater. Zach didn't think that Wells in this state still had the ability to call the police, and he could just let the prisoner be caught, and the 'general's subordinates would not be so bad as su.
"I, I don't know, I, I heard. It's an anonymous call. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Where were you? in the middle of the night in a rainstorm?"
Wells had tear marks on the corners of his mouth. Apparently at the time of the 'General''s violence, he was silenced. James's account comes from Coson's retelling, and Cousson is also a member of the homicide team, and he can't overstep the bounds, so the events are not entirely clear.
"Arthur Street. In the middle of the night, I. I just found an alley with a dry spot. They, they rushed up, and then they ......"
It seemed that the content of the memories was too much to bear, and Wells's voice could not continue in a choked voice. "Shhhhhhhh Changed the question, "Why did they beat you so hard?"
Zach had stumbled upon the work of the 'General' once, and Seth was among them. The time is also after midnight, which seems to be the style of the 'general'. But looking at the scene, the time Zach met was a threat that was far greater than the actual damage, needless to say that he robbed someone else's car in the end, and it is estimated that the original purpose was also.
After several encounters with the General, Zach was able to tell that this was a very practical person. James had said that Wells was in debt, and that the 'General' was really just a middleman, and that it would be no good for him to dissolve Wells.
The question seemed to be more difficult to answer than before, Wells's already bitter face wrinkled, "I, I don't know......"
Zach frowned, none of the questions he wanted to ask were answered.
"Don't worry about that. Benjamin was already impatient, "Leave here after finishing it, this smell is so uncomfortable!"
Zach sighed, "Wells, the first thing you wake up tomorrow is to drop the indictment. ”
The sudden 'decision' that went against his mind made Wells's expression completely confused, and Zach didn't give him any chance to reject the decision, "The first thing I did when I woke up was to withdraw the indictment." Now tell me about it. ”
Wells repeated.
Zach nodded, "When you get better, your old job will come back and report directly to the Bureau of Land Management." You still have to pay your debts and your medical bills yourself. But this is a new beginning. Do you understand?"
This was requested in a phone call from Zach to Anthony while James was still around. Otherwise, James wouldn't have left so happily.
Wells' eyes were palpable with hope and excitement.
Zach nodded, "Now, close your eyes and sleep." You haven't seen us. ”
Zach closed his eyes, his palms rubbing in his eyes, "Solved." Now, I'd love to talk to Seth. ”
Benjamin had already walked to the door, shrugging his shoulders impatiently, "Whoever you want, get out of here!"
Zach opened his eyes and glanced at Benjamin, although he didn't remember the last time Benjamin appeared in the hospital, but in his impression, he definitely didn't have such a rejection. Zach pouted, he hadn't used the pupil of charm to 'inquire' where the blood bank was, looking at Benjamin's irritable appearance, he probably didn't have a chance. (To be continued......)
