After the shift change, Michelle watched the clock on her bedside table. 11:50 PM. She could only read and surf the web so much in between the anxiety about her upcoming adventure with Luke.

She flopped on her back and gazed up at the top bunk, wondering why the place looked like a dormitory.

Thoughts of how to make this happen swirled in her mind. While it was dangerous for his health, she agreed he needed to get out a little, even if just down the hall from the lab. It would do him good mentally. That in itself could be healing. At the very least, it would give him something to look forward to instead of always being stuck in the “death chamber”, as he called it.

When an idea struck, she smiled, giggling, knowing exactly what she would do.

Michelle rolled out of bed and left her room, walking down to the clinic.

Careful not to disturb anything, she opened the large cabinets that held the medications. Sifting through the boxes and bottles, she found a heavy sedative. Shaking the bottle of pills, she uncapped it and dumped the medication into her palm.

“This will knock out a horse,” she whispered, slipping it into her pocket. Then she looked around, moving items until she saw a box of syringes. Smiling, she hunted down the sedative Dr. Barter used on Luke. “Ah…there we are. How much, though?” she whispered, turning the bottle in her hand.

After serious deliberation, she made a scientific guess and filled the syringe about one-third of the way, hoping if she had to use it on Luke, it wouldn’t kill him. If he got out of hand, she could quickly inject him and get him back to his room. She turned and spotted a wheelchair tucked behind the door.

“Perfect. He’s too weak to walk.”

Leaving the chair there for the moment, Michelle headed out and walked to the cafeteria, remembering she had found a hidden stash of sweets while looking for something to munch on after shift change.

She opened the cupboard and pulled out the box of cereal somebody had used to hide honey buns like they were contraband. Unwrapping the cellophane packaging, a shudder coursed through her body. Then she smiled as she pushed the sedative into the middle of the sticky, opaque-glazed treat.

She made a mad dash back to the clinic and grabbed the wheelchair, pushing it right up to the lab door.

Between her nervous energy and excitement, her heart rate quickened, similar to the adrenaline high that kicked in after a long, fast-paced run on the treadmill.

Using a yoga strategy, her other go-to exercise of choice, she took in a few deep, cleansing breaths, calming herself.

Michelle walked into the lab, then to the foyer of Luke’s room, leaving the wheelchair at the door. She took a quick peek through the observation window.

Luke lay on his side, facing the window. He smiled when he saw her, then closed his eyes to continue the charade. She noticed Joseph had his nose buried in a magazine.
