Chapter 6 - Time to make progress

*Mystery Lady P.O.V*

This kid seems really trouble. I kinda feel bad for him. I wonder why he ran in the first place. Well, it's time I make some progress on figuring that out.

"Are you alright kid?" I ask him hoping for an answer. Instead, I was met with him ignoring me. Something truly made him upset. Just as I was about to ask his name, he starts turning completely pale and started to scream at the top of his lungs. He looked to be in so much pain, it scared me. Next thing I know, I hear his bones crunching as if they're pushing into themselves. And Soon enough, he passed out from the extreme pain. As soon as I saw that, I ran to the nearest nurse and dragged her into the room. I told her everything that happened as she looks at his ridiculously high blood pressure. Then suddenly, all of his vitals went back to normal. She looks at me with pure terror in her eye and said, "This isn't normal. With these vitals, he should have had a stroke and died on the spot."

Unsure how to respond to that I asked, "So what do we do now?"

Clearing not being totally sure, she replied with, "I guess we wait and see if he wakes up. If he does, we will have to run tests. For now, we'll monitor him closely. You can go home if you like." "No! I'm staying," I said.

I did not want to leave this kid like this. He clearly has something going on mentally and physically. So, I decided I would stay with him until it get late. Later on that same day, he woke up and tried to get up again only to be stopped by the handcuffs. With a clear groan coming from him, I got up from the chair in his room and asked, "Are you okay, kid? You suddenly--" I get cut off and hear. "My name isn't kid lady, it's Soran." That was the first words of the long, long time we're going to be spending together in the future. With a little bit of happiness relishing up inside me from the progress we made, I proclaimed, " Well it's nice to meet you Soran. My name's Kat."
