Chapter Five

Chaos Erupts

Richards is seated with his chin resting on his folded hands. He is scared to move, nervous after divulging all he knows.

“Unbelievable!” Tonya staring straight at the Doctor, “Chief, do you believe the shit he is trying to pass off here?”

Chief motions to Tonya, “We need to talk.”

The Doctor looks over at Corey and sees him nodding off and pale. Richards gets up, makes his way over to Corey and explains his concern, “I really need to get him back to the examination room.”

Tonya walks towards Chief and turns to speak, "Remember, he is not a lab rat!”

Richards reassures the three, "I know. I just need to get him stabilized.” Patrick helps the Doctor lift Corey and get him back to the exam room.

Chief waits for the door to shut completely before communicating what is beginning to worry him, “I’m not in good shape, obviously. That thing slammed me pretty hard to the ground, amiga.”

Tonya has little patience, “What are you saying?”

Chief still seated holding his side looks at her with candidness, “This is it for me kid, but I’m going to help you get out of here.”

This is not what she was expecting to hear, “We have Richards where we want him, and he will help you.”

Chief looks away...he is firm on his decision, “He is not touching me! Just listen to what I am telling you. I have a plan.”

As Richards and Patrick get Corey back into the exam room, the Doctor’s concern is split between Corey’s condition and his own fate with a bomb stuck to his neck, “Careful Patrick, help me put him on the table.” He decides to take a chance, “What do you know about this device on my neck?”

Patrick has questions of his own for the Doctor, “First…what is the thing on his wrist?”

With Corey on the examining table, Richards begins to work on him and answers Patrick, “It is a developmental drug. One that has been tested many times on soldiers infected by walkers, but never on someone infected by a Zly.” Turning away to review test results, Richards continues, “He has shown some positive results. I’m surprised at the abilities he has acquired, even with his infection.”

Patrick has no faith in the Doctor or his motives, “Explain!”

The Doctor continues to look over the chart, “By this time a large majority of the soldiers that were given this amount of the drug had expired. But Corey shows no signs of physical breakdown, in fact he is statistically better.” Richards looks over at Patrick, “Corey should show signs of increased intelligence and perception, ESP if you will…characteristics of the Lu-Ci-4 drug.”

Patrick is perplexed, “Lucifer? Are you kidding? Is this the same thing you are taking?”

Richards takes a deep breath, “If I answer, can I get this explosive removed from the back of my head?”

Patrick provides a blank stare. The Doctor is not surprised, “I didn’t think so.”

In the meeting room Tonya situates herself to be at eye level with Chief, “We have time.
