Chapter 2 - 2. Happy New Year (2)

The unknown man tried to rouse Selina: "Miss... Miss..."

Upon realizing this, the mysterious man rushed to load Selina into the limousine with his companion. Ally was wasted. She staggered in the direction of the enigmatic man who abducted her friend. While trying to catch up to them, she was holding a glass of tequila in her hand.

Ally: "Dude! Hands off, my friend, at once! She just needs to sleep this off, or maybe down another shot. She will be fine!"

Ally slipped and fell onto the pavement floor. She struggled to stand up. The unknown man immediately called the security guard at the club to apprehend Ally and bring her inside. While he, his friend, and Selina drove off.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the 2nd of January when Selina awoke and found herself on the hospital bed. Her wrist was attached to peripheral IVs. She was confused and tried to think back to her last memory.

'What happened?' Selina wondered. The last thing she recalled was leaving with Ally for a club to celebrate the New Year.

'Ally!' Selina jolted up, causing her to immediately have ice-pick headaches. It was excruciating that she laid back down on the bed and rolled away from the IV, causing the tube to detach. Blood and other bodily fluids leaked out of the tube. Not long after, a nurse cleaned the wound and reattached the IV. The headache vanished as abruptly as it came.

Nurse: "Miss, I would advise you not to struggle or make sudden movements. You are recovering. Meals will be served soon, and here is a cup of water and some juice."

The nurse adjusted the over-bed tables and placed the drinks on top of them.

Selina: "Thank you. Can I ask you, What happened to me?"

The nurse looked at Selina sympathetically and said, "You nearly died." As the nurse was about to leave the room, Selina quickly said, "Wait, that's it? Who brought me here? Where is my friend? When can I leave?"

Nurse: "Doctor Hawke will be here to explain everything to you as soon as I notify him that you are conscious. In the meantime, drink your liquids."

The nurse left Selina alone, feeling perplexed and furious. She couldn't help but wonder what had happened and why she was left in the dark.
