The words were barely out of his mouth, when the

door burst open and in walked Dr. Marshall and Alex¬

ander Drake. An audible gasp was heard around the

room, but then you could have heard a syringe needle

drop on the floor, everyone deathly silent wondering

what was about to happen.

Uh-oh. This can't be good.

Dr. Marshall and Drake never came up to the fourth

floor to see us. Never. I highly doubted this was a

friendly social call.

Lucas was right. Somethings going on. But what?

They walked from one end of the room to the other,

creepily pausing to check each of us out closely, before

moving on to the next bed. Dr. Marshall had appar¬

ently discarded his wheelchair, and was now using a

sturdy cane to help him maneuver around. He limped,

but it was hardly noticeable. Quite a remarkable recov¬

ery, especially considering those weren't even his legs.

Made me wonder whose legs they were, and what they

had done to the poor bastard they took them off. Was

he lying here beside m e , somewhere in this room, or

had his usefulness wore out, and he'd already made the

trip down the W A S T E D I S P O S A L chute to the incinerator

down in the basement?

Dr. Marshall and Drake whispered over by the win¬

dow, t u r n i n g to point to one bed or another, then slowly

started making their way back to the door. My heart

began to pound when they stopped at the foot of my

bed and turned to look straight at me.

"You sure?" Dr. Marshall asked his sidekick.

Drake looked at me with eyes as cold, black, and un¬

feeling as those of a great white shark staring down his

prey. Then he took a step closer, a feral grin on his face

that made the resemblance to the shark even more

chilling.

"Oh absolutely. He's the one," Drake said.

The one what?

Ashamed of myself, I was uncontrollably shaking

with fear in the presence of these two madmen. A few

m o n t h s ago, I would have shot back a smart-ass com¬

ment, or at least told them to go fuck themselves, but

most of my courage must have been cut away with my

arms and legs, because I stayed silent, not daring to

speak.

"Fair enough," Dr. Marshall said. "Bring him down

as quickly as possible, Drake. We've wasted too much

time already. I'll go and see that things are ready."

"Yes, sir. Right away."

Dr. Marshall left without another glance back, the

other men strapped in their beds totally insignificant to

him, now that his decision was made. No sooner was he

out the door when a tall lanky orderly pushed a padded

leather-covered gurney into the room and made his

way over to stand beside Drake.

"Let's go for a ride, Mike," Drake said, loving every

second of this. Then to the orderly, he whispered, "Get

him out of here."

"Where you taking m e ? " I asked the orderly, as he

unstrapped me from my bed and roughly heaved me

over onto the bedside gurney.

He ignored my question, not even making eye con¬

tact with m e , so I snouted at Drake, "What's going
