Chapter Eight

Edge June 2097

Toa’s back didn’t hurt anymore. Though he pretended it did as the guard shoved him along towards the infirmary. He bumped into things as well. None of them needed to know he could sense enough around him to be able to move around by himself.

Toa was shoved onto a gurney and he had to catch himself on it or otherwise fall. It was tempting to stumble some more and make the guard think he was more handicapped than he was. But he didn’t want to try too hard, otherwise the guard might become suspicious. A medic came up to him and whistled. “What happened to him?”

Toa didn’t answer but waited for Murphy’s man to give an excuse.

The soldier grumbled. “Accident in containment.”

The medic flicked at Toa’s clothes. “They dress you well over in containment.”

Toa grunted, but didn’t explain his outfit. He wanted there to be suspicion over his appearance and injuries.

The soldier huffed. “Just fix him up and keep him here. The General wants to make sure he is looked after and that he doesn’t wander off.”

The soldier went to the edge of the tent and turned his back on them.

The medic snorted. “So you got on the wrong side of the General. Not very clever or do you have a death wish?” The medic pushed his head back. “This appears like it’s years old. When did this happen?”

“Last month,” Toa answered confused.

“Wow. You heal well.” The medic sounded very shocked.

The medic had him take off his shirt. The medic checked the wound on his back. “All nice and pink you probably won’t have a scar either or a mark in about a month. Healed up perfectly. You didn’t have any problem with infection or inflammation?” he said distractedly.

Toa reached behind him. The medic was right. The small cut was completely sealed. The faint wound felt like it was a month-old wound.

Toa said to the medic bewildered himself, “No problem at all.”

What the hell had they done to him? Natasha had implied they had been using these atramento things for years. Why hadn’t he heard about this bloody miracle Bioware that could stop bullets and heal so fast? If the military had a Bioware which could heal wounds in the fraction of the time they would have been putting it into every soldier they could afford to.

Toa turned his head a little to listen to the soldier outside and then said to the Medic, “What would it take for you to be careless about watching me?”

The medic chuckled. “Let me just take a blood sample, then I’ll be over there for a bit checking it over.”

Toa smiled at the medic. It seemed Murphy was burning his bridges like he had done before. It appeared the axiom that a leopard couldn’t change their spots was accurate when it came to Murphy.

When the medic finished, it didn’t take much to slip off the gurney and out the back of the tent. The soldier must have either trusted the medic or he was afraid of hospitals.
