Guts

Boe Healy with the help of Dad

Dr. Moriarty stood by his patient’s bed with a syringe in hand. He stopped what he was doing when the nurse entered the room. He stared into her eyes and she stared back. “I saw what you checked out,” she said. “That’s the wrong medicine. It’ll kill him.”

“God can only hope,” said the doctor.

The nurse’s eyes widened. “I cannot let you knowingly kill a man.”

Dr. Moriarty sighed. “This is not a man,” he said looking over at the bearded man in the hospital bed, gray goatee sharp as a knife. “This is a monster.”

The nurse shook her head. “Back away from him or I’m going to call security.”

“This man,” he said, emphasizing the word, “has killed more people than you’ve met.”

“Then let the police sort it. We can call them, tell them he’s here.”

The doctor shook his head. “There’s not enough evidence. He doesn’t kill through conventional means. He’s a sorcerer. Right now we’re safe because he’s unconscious. I need to make sure he never wakes up. Then he can finally stop hurting people. No mortal man should herald that kind of power.”

“A sorcerer? Are you joking?”

“I wish I was.”

“Dr. Moriarty, give me the syringe.”

“I can’t do that.”

He watched the nurse turn on her heel and head for the door. He knew he couldn’t let her leave. The sorcerer had to die. She didn’t believe, but she would see soon enough if he let that monster live. He ran up behind her, palmed the back of her head, and smashed her face into the door. She collapsed and he locked the door to keep out anyone investigating the sound. The nurse looked up at him from the ground, her ankle twisted and her nose broken, black and blue and spewing red.

“I’m sorry,” he said to her. “Death is the only way to stop his killing. He must be stopped.”

Dr. Moriarty walked over to the bed. He stuck the syringe into the man’s IV and watched him shudder, seize, and fall still, his monitor giving off one long, sustained beep. He sat on the edge of the bed. The nurse was trying to pull herself up to her feet.

“See you in hell,” Moriarty said to the monster behind him. Then he took another syringe from his pocket and injected himself.

“What have you done?” the nurse cried.

Stanley chuckled as he gestured toward the body on the table. “You believe in sorcery?”

The older, taller, and wider, Banner, shrugged his big shoulders. “Dr. Moriarty obviously did. The nurse said he broke her nose and sprained her ankle, he was so determined to kill the poor bastard.”

“He is creepy looking.” Stanley laughed. “Looks like he’s like three hundred years old or something.”

“He’d have a little bit more than gray hair and sagging skin if he were that old.”

“Did you do the autopsy? Find anything weird?”

“I’ve cracked him open but I haven’t gone digging yet. It was lunchtime. From what I saw though, his innards are the same as everyone’s.”

“Damn. I thought he would have a black heart or something crazy.
