"Turn off that screen. Just an hour of me being away and you people neglected the lab" The man, who was reprimanding the other seemed like the boss. He was mad because the guards neglected the wolves.
"Where is that useless lead doctor," Asked the same man
As soon as he asked about the lead doctor, an older man in a lab coat was dragged and pushed to the man feat. The older man was shivering in fear, but the others didn't seem to care about his emotions.
"You seem not to care about your family. Now that one of the lab rats has gone missing, what do you think is going to happen to your family?" The so-called boss had grabbed the doctor by the chin and was quizzing it.
Although he was scared, the doctor knew they wouldn't kill him because they didn't have another doctor who could do what he could do.
"I bet you must think that you are the only doctor that we have, and that you can't be harmed. Well, you're mistaken" The man's statement had scared the doctor to the core. He thought he wouldn't be killed because of his ability.
"Please spare me. I didn't do anything" The doctor tried to be a bed. He didn't want to die before meeting his family that he hadn't seen for ten years now.
"Why should I spare you when your experiments and research haven't done anything viable for the past ten years. We have provided you with everything you have asked for, but as always, nothing has come out of it. You better think straight after this. Bang"
And just like that, the doctor's thigh was shot making the old man scream out in pain. It was such a sight especially since he was already of age with all the gray hairs showing on top of his black hair. He cried so pitifully and begged that his life be spared.
The boss squatted down to the doctor's level "You see Mr. doctor Tony, this is not a hospital. You will have to be careful with personal decisions because each one of them has consequences. Lose any other rat and you will not know what would happen to you"
He then used his leg to step on the doctor's shot thigh making the old man scream in excruciating pain. The doctor's assistant was shivering in the corner in fear thinking that he was next.
He was called for a job five years ago after he had newly graduated from medical school. Adam had graduated top of his class five years ago and everyone with whom he came in contact said that he was going to have a bright future in the medical field as a researcher after seeing what he had achieved as a student.
He didn't know that his current state would be that bright future that everyone had spoken so highly of. At the current moment that he was in, he wanted to escape, or better yet, begged for death to take him. He always wanted to kill himself but, being twenty-one years old, he felt like it was a useless sacrifice to let the heartless beasts who had ruined his life have the last life.
His relatives believed that he was dead, thanks to the fake death his supposed employee had come up with. He could only imagine what his family had gone through after his death. He will not deny that after working under doctor Tony for five years now, he heard learned so much. He was grateful to the old man.
Tony had taken care of him as his son but recently, his will to live had deteriorated. He missed his family every day especially now that he spoke a lot about them. Saying that he missed them and that he wanted to see them.
"Lie down doctor Tony. I am glad that the bullet went through the thigh, otherwise, it would have been dangerous if it had remained. I am also sorry that you have to go through so much pain" Adam who was treating doctor Tony tried to calm him down
The two were back in their dorm and even if it was a small room, they were glad that they could at least be themselves and breathe some air away from the monsters who had destroyed their lives.
"An old man like me is getting weaker and weaker every day" doctor Tony tried to speak although he was weak. Adam looked at him with pain
"I don't think that I would be able to meet with my family anymore. I know that I have held on all these years but I am now getting tired. We don't even know where we are" The old man who was in pain smiled pitying himself
The two doctors didn't know but they were somewhere on the outskirts of the city among scattered houses. They were fooled on the day that each of them was brought to the lab by taking them on drives to confuse them. The building that they were in among other structures is a very calm community. Outside, it was old and dilapidated but the inside had the most modern medical types of equipment.
It also goes to say that whoever had opened the lab was a wealthy person. Everything around the lab looked modern and up to date. They had some chemicals that were illegal in the country and their equipment was better than those in most hospitals in the country.
The man who had shot doctor Tony seemed scary but, they seemed to be more scared of the boss who was the top man. Whatever he was trying to achieve with everything in the lab, one could only cross his fingers praying that it wasn't something bad. Prayers and hope can only go so far, judging by the fact that they were willing to use animals that are humans.
