The ambulance left the college premises and headed straight towards the hospital. Rui and Be, both were being moved to the hospital secretly. If anyone found out about them, they will become another pair of culprits in drug smuggling, regardless of the fact that they were framed. Therefore, Mr. Smith was moving them to safety without being noticed by anyone. Behind the ambulance, Mark and Alan were following them in Mark's car. At first, Mark was very anxious about his brother. However, having Alan next to him made him feel much relieved. " Hey Alan. Are you okay?" Mark asked.
" No." Alan sighed and continued, " I am worried for Rui. We need to detoxify her body. If a single parts per million of that drug remained in her body, it will cause great harm to her nervous system. I hate it! I hate that drug!" Alan kicked the dashboard in anger.
" I heard you talking about Novak drug on phone. Hey, isn't that drug banned all over the world? How did they even got a hold of it?" Mark contemplated.
" I don't know how. But I have to find out soon. Time and time again, that drug has defeated me. I want to know, how the thing that was completely destroyed 8 years ago is still being traded among the youngsters." Alan mumbled.
" Hey, we are here! " Mark hurriedly parked his car and got out. When he looked back, no one was following him. He knocked on car window. " Hey, why are you not coming out?"
" Mark I need some time. You go inside and help Mr. Smith complete the paper work for both of them. "
Alan explained.
" Okay. But when you are done, come upstairs." Mark went ahead and entered the hospital. What he failed to see was the shaking of Alan's hand. Being around hospital, those white walls and those glass doors reminded him of his terrible childhood memories. When he was treated like a lab rat. When people came and injected him, feeded him and tested him, however they liked. Even if he was a test subject, he was a kid waiting to go back home. In those years, he vividly remembers being kept in chamber. Then they filled those chambers with alpha pheromones slowly. With every increase in pheromone level, they noted down his reaction. They did so until he fainted out of exhaustion. When he was unconcious for week, they would inject nutrient directly into his body. So, he won't die of starvation. Every thing was too cruel and too brute.
But among all these memories, the most horrible nightmare was the one where they injected Novak drug in his body repeatedly. The subject of their curiousity was, if Novak could effect a savage omega. They played with him as if he was doll. It was tormenting. That extreme pain in his abdomen and lower body made him feel like going crazy. They ruthlessly watched him trying to touch himself in order to satiate his heat. But he was tied to chains. An eleven year old boy was repeatedly tortured that way, every week. They finally found the results of experiments. It read, using Novak drug on savage omega beyond a certain limit causes the ovaries to rupture inside causing internal bleeding and infertility. Hence, the limit beyond xxxx gm must not be breached.
Yeah, that is right. Alan didn't came out of the camp unharmed. He lost his power to bear a child at the age of eleven. The ovaries that would maintain level of secretion were lost because the torture he face at that time. Therefore, his pheromones can create secretion beyond normal omega's capacity because the creation of ovaries, that inhibited the secretion were long gone. That is why, he hates hospitals. The fact that he will never have a kid or family, the fact that his fate was to die alone made him extremely aggravated. He never deserved any of this.
When he destroyed that camp, he also destroyed the last reservoirs of Novak drug by his own hands. That's why, he can't understand, where this drug is coming from?
Alan was sitting in that car alone in that dark parking lot. His inability to see Rui and be with her at the time of need, made him feel utterly useless. Why was he like this?
" Damn, I wish I could cry." Alan mumbled. Then he folded his arms around his knees and placed his head down. " Soon...I will be fine soon."
Inside the hospital, Rui and Ben, both were transferred to intensive care units for omega and alpha. Doctors were trying hard to bring down the levels of hormones to normal. Their body temperatures were too high. If they didn't act fast, the proteins will start denaturing inside their bodies. Every medic in those rooms was running against time. Among those medics was Rui's mother who was helping the doctor in taking care of Ben. Her daughter was there, under the surveillance of omega medics. She was feeling restless but she knew very well, the life of every person is equal. That's why she has to treat the person in need, her daughter or anyone else's. It doesn't matter.
Mark and Mr. Smith were done with the documents and they were waiting outside in hallway.
" Where is Alan?" Mr. Smith asked.
" Oh he is downstairs. He told me he will come up later. Maybe he forgot. Let me call him." Mark replied.
" No. Wait. There is no need, he can't come up. He hates hospitals. I will go down and talk to him. You wait here and tell me if anything happens. Okay. Here's my number." Mr. Smith explained.
" Alright Sir." Mark complied with his request. However, he felt a little uneasy. Alan is afraid of hospitals? But the way he fights, hospital should be like a second home to him. How does he treat his injuries?
Mr. Smith went in the parking lot. He wasn't aware of the cars position. So, he called Alan. Soon, he heard ringing of phone. He followed the sound and found the car. When he saw inside, Alan was asleep due to exhaustion. He knocked on the glass and Alan woke up. He opened the car door and stepped out.
" Bosd. Why are you here? Is Rui alright? What did she say?" Alan punched one question after another.
" No Alan. She hasn't woken up yet." Mr. Smith replied.
" She hasn't? God! I am so sorry boss. It's all my fault. I should have been more careful." Alan admitted to hos carelessness.
" Don't be like that Alan. You did well. However, it is impossible for anyone to tell if a drink is drugged or not. You should not be so hard on yourself. In fact, I am grateful to you. You saved Rui again." Mr. Smith reasoned.
" Boss, it wasn't me. It was Ben. He kept Rui safe from other alphas. He is an alpha himself but he kept her company through all that. He protected her from others and from himself." Alan pointed out .
" That kid really has the will of metal. I mean being an alpha, I totally understand what kind of torment he have been through. I must say, he is a gentleman." Mr. Smith replied.
" Boss, is Rui is going to be okay? I don't want to lose her." Alan said in gloomy tone.
" You idiot. Are you putting jinx on my daughter? She is my kid. She is a warrior. This is nothing for her." Mr. Smith tries to console Alan but his fears were surfacing too. Soon, tears fell down his cheeks, " She will be fine."
Mr. Smith wiped his tears and continued, " They are controlling her vital organs now and then, they will deal with the hormones. It will take time, maybe a night or two. You should not wait here. Go back home. Her mother and I will take care of her."
" I can't. I can't leave boss. My feet, they don't move away from her. All this time, I have grown habitual of walking towards her. How can I run away now? Boss, I will wait here." Alan sighed. " Boss, make sure they detoxify her body thoroughly. That drug is a slow poison for omegas. A single ounce can create blood clots."
" Alan, I don't understand how those kids got hold of it. It's so harmful, yet they had no idea about it's side effects. Where does it even come from?" Mr. Smith contemplated.
" Those kids don't know about its effects because it shows symptoms after long duration. It is a forbidden drug. Therefore, there is no information about it in books or internet. It is a highly confidential matter. Only people of Roha and researchers of that island know about it. I think someone very powerful is moving his resources around to smuggle these drugs." Alan replied. " For now, let's focus on Rui. Once, she is okay, i will make sure to deal with those Rhodens and find the source of this drug."
" I thought you already dealt with the Rhodens." Mr. Smith asked.
" I am here boss, unable to reach Rui. And she is inside, fighting for her life. Both of us are suffering.They are the ones responsible for it. They have to pay a lot to reach break even." Alan replied.
