17. HOSPITAL BREAK

After the surgery was successfully over without any kind of complication, Mark was taken to a dead end hallway somewhere in the hospital so that he could rest. Seeing no reason not to take that chance, he got comfortable and wavered off to sleep. He woke up suddenly but he did not open his eyes right away. Not much time could have passed and he was still feeling a bit tired. His chain and gems were still inside his boot, he could feel the hard rocks against his toes. They were bothering him a bit. He was feeling a cold pressure around his wrists… handcuffs. He was handcuffed to the hollow metal bars on each side of the gurney, but two of them seemed a little bit excessive. Officer Kong and the surgeon were having a conversation a bit farther down the hallway and Mark opened his eyes only a little, and tried to listen to their conversation. He could hear them, but he also focused on reading their lips so as to not misjudge a word.

“It is not my place to tell you how to do your job officer. What I can ask of you though is not to disturb my patient further. Resting is of utmost importance, especially during this early stage of healing.” The surgeon was saying sternly, moving his index finger back and forth as if to make his point clearer.

“That little shit lying down there all carefree and cozy is the prime suspect for murdering two people earlier today, along with destroying private property. And I am using the word suspect and murder as a formality in this case. The sick bastard beat one of them to death and he burned the other one alive along with half a wedding boutique, and all that in a Monday afternoon in a busy street. He is dangerous and unstable and he needs to be locked away as fast as possible, for the sake of justice and the sake of society.” The cop was saying, his face a mask of passion and rage; his voice not as gentle now as earlier in the emergency room. ‘Well…when somebody presents their argument like that… two pairs of handcuffs start to make a little more sense than one.’

“Ah, I told you, he cannot leave the hospital just yet. When he is able to be safely transported I will let you know. Do what you must, just don’t wake him up and let him rest, please, the better he rests the quicker he will be out of here and into a cell… Trust me I don’t like it either.” The surgeon said mildly with a sigh, before walking back to Mark’s side to check his shoulder. He seemed a bit perplexed with what he saw, and justifiably so. He frowned upon the injury, that according to Mark’s judgement should have been almost healed, and he walked away.

“Don’t worry officer. By the look of things he might be able to leave here faster than anticipated.
