Part III

I am the hunted that stalks my aggressor

I am neurosis, I am the measurements used

When it’s time to choose which tools are proper

For the opportunity to break it loose

When it breaks, it’ll all come together now

Armageddon, just a change in the weather now

I am the one, I’ve come to let the pressure out

More human than human, so you can feel better now

Yeah, more human than human

—X-Ecutioners,

from “(Even) More Human than Human”

Chapter 30

The new orderly arrived for his first day at work in the intensive care and trauma ward. He showed the security guard his badge with an unfriendly demeanor of annoyed accommodation.

“New guy, huh? ICU I see.” The guard inspected the badge while sizing up the new employee. “Well, alright, Mr. Whittington. Do you know where to go?”

“Yes, sir.” The orderly looked around and down, not making direct eye contact with the security guard.

“Alright then. Have you worked in a hospital before? You look a little sharper than most of our orderlies. Better shape too. Military man?”

The orderly looked up. “Sir, if you don’t mind, I don’t want to be late.”

“No problem. I was in the Marine Corps for thirty years. You sure look like a military man. I’m sure I will be seeing you around then.”

The orderly nodded and continued walking down the corridor making the hard left that visitors and new employees typically miss on their first time to this wing.

“I’m impressed. You do know where you are going. Pretty good, new guy!” the guard called out down the hall. “I’ll see you around.”

A maintenance man approached the guard to check in. “Hey, Jose, man, just saw a new big ass orderly. Military man. No Marine. Looks Army. Probably fresh out. Think I will pay a visit this week to Meredith in HR upstairs and see who our new friend is. Be a good excuse to say hello. Wonder if she is still sweet on that new administrator. She still sweet on him?”

“Yo no se.”

“Mmmhmm. Well tell me this then. Why they starting a new guy at midnight shift? You ever seen that happen?”

“Man, I don’t see nothing. That’s your job.”

“Mmmhmm. Every soldier’s a sensor, Jose. You’re my soldier and sensor.”

“I’m just a janitor, boss.”

Harrison Mann tended to the wound he sustained from Brock then finished cleaning the basement of the rental home where he held his crazy captive. The wound wasn’t as deep as he had thought, but it still needed some stitches. He had a small kit with med supplies in the trunk. Harrison looked around the house. All traces of Brock’s short stay were gone. The bungalow was perfect for their ruse of frightening Brock as his meds had worn off and his mind reverted to its diseased state. Despite the success, their work was getting sloppy. Harrison didn’t like having to assume that Brock had bled out or broke his neck. He also didn’t like playing with nut jobs. He knew Brock was a freak and wondered if Draeger was as well.

This operation needed better tactical intelligence and more time on target.
