CHAPTER TWELVE

Aubrey watched in horror as the wall slid silently shut behind her. Dr. Faizel walked confidently in front of them, muttering into a mouthpiece at his collar.

They were being dragged down a dark, long passageway. Aubrey's eyes darted around. How could she not know that there was a tunnel behind the morgue?

Dr. Faizel stopped abruptly and unlocked a door in the wall. She was shoved into a starkly-lit, mind-bogglingly large chamber with sophisticated machines she had never seen before.

The place looked like a huge underground bomb shelter. The hospital was an old building, and it had been rebuilt and renovated many times. Many of the older buildings in the city had spacious underground bomb shelters. Some had been converted for commercial uses and made into storage spaces.

But this…

What the hell was this?

Aubrey stopped struggling and stared around. There were gurgling, humming machines with wires and tubes connected to sharp pointy needles and scalpels. Two large computer screens covered the far wall. She saw steel tables lining the walls, and there were metal clamps at the side of the tables.

Aubrey backed away. She knew what those clamps were for.

“Clamp them down,” Dr. Faizel ordered.

Aubrey knew that struggling and screaming was futile. She had to try something else. Suppressing a whimper, she stretched out a trembling hand and touched the arm of her captor. Never underestimate the power of the human touch. A touch could heal and comfort. A kind word was more powerful than a lethal weapon. She knew that. She was a very good, experienced nurse. She could always read her patients' moods and anticipate their needs.

Perhaps she could get this tough-looking soldier to help her somehow.

Dr. Faizel was watching her with a knowing, amused look. “Don't bother trying to communicate with these mercenaries, Nurse Williams. They are hired muscle. They won't waver, and they won't hesitate to snap your neck at my order.”

Aubrey swallowed her fear and forced out a laugh. “Mercenaries? What are mercenaries doing in a hospital? You take me for a fool, Dr. Faizel. I don't think the hospital Director has the budget to hire mercenaries.”

“They don't work for the hospital,” Dr. Faizel answered as Aubrey was pushed onto a steel table. “They work for me.”

Aubrey raised her head and spat, “Bullshit!”

Dr. Faizel had his back to her, typing something into the computer. “They will obey me, even though I don't pay them,” he said absently.

“So who pays them?” Aubrey asked. She wanted to keep him talking, get as much information out of him as possible.

She had to figure out what she was up against.

“Alberto Birns,” the doctor muttered, still typing.

“Who the fuck...” she began then jerked as Luke was slammed onto the steel table beside her.

“You're hurting him!” she screeched at the callous soldier. “You might be a mercenary, but you don't have to be an asshole!” The soldier ignored her and proceeded to fasten the clamps around Luke's wrists, ankles and neck.

She heard Luke make a small sound beside her. His eyelids were twitching violently and his face was contorted in pain.
