Chapter 23

Jake burst down the corridor of the OR toward the Path department. He was trying to move slowly in order not to attract too much attention but at the same time move quickly to get rid of whatever this thing was. He was in such deep concentration trying to stabilize the mass that he almost sped right past his contact.

Bill Thomas interrupted his concentration. “Where are you going in such a rush?”

Jake looked up franticly at the man and stared at him. “Uh, here you go, Mr. Thomas. Here is your prize as requested. But I have just one question-”

“I put the money in your locker. You are now a man without debt.”

“That’s great,” replied Jake, “but that was not what I am concerned about. You see, I inadvertently slipped my finger through whatever this is. And since it happened, I’ve wondered if it might be dangerous shit. Could this be true?”

Now it was time for Bill Thomas to panic. He couldn’t believe what he just heard. This would probably change everything. He wasn’t even sure if his contact would even pick the package up after this.

Thomas grabbed Jake’s shoulders and jerked him back and forth. “Did anyone else see you do this? Does anyone else know that you put a hole in this thing?”

Jake already felt a little better. If it were truly dangerous, there was no chance in hell Thomas would jolt it around like he was doing. “Hey, hey, settle down,” he said with a sigh of relief. “I never even took my finger out of the hole. It’s still in this piece of shit here.” He lifted the package up with his left hand. “Here is my little old finger stuck in this piece of shit. No one saw, and no one had a clue. So let’s relax a bit.”

Thomas wasn’t as satisfied and kept jerking Jake around. This issue could jeopardize the entire project. As he reacted, he realized that Jake had no clue what this meant; the more attention Thomas created, the more trouble he might make. With that thought, he stopped jostling the other man. He was about to thank him for his duty when they both heard the overhead speaker.

“Dr. Jake Douglas, Dr. Jake Douglas, stat to the OR. Dr. Jake Douglas, Dr. Jake Douglas, stat to the Operating Room.”

Jake thought out loud, “Shit. I bet that poor guy is totally septic and bottoming out his blood pressure.” He glared at Thomas. “Well, it has been a real fuckin’ pleasure working with you, and I hope our paths don’t ever meet again. See ya.” The doctor turned and ran to the OR, leaving his contact holding the specimen in the container with white powder spilled in the bottom of the basin.
