Chapter 10 - Colt helps a friend

[scene: Colt sitting in school looking out the window while Bella comes towards him]

Now , how to handle that fat pig? Even if I gave him a shot of air to stop his heart while he sleeps,

I don't know how the nobles would react.

Will they suspect assassination?

Can't risk it , what if-

Bella : "Colt."

Colt [turning to face her] : "Yes, Bella, is it time to play?"

Bella : "No, Ken's sick, and I'm worried about him."

While playing and training to upgrade invisibility , search and magic sight,

I became friends with Ken, Bella and a few other kids…

You know what? This is perfect… it might be what I'm looking for…

Colt :"Can we go visit?"

Bella :"Yes , I was there yesterday."

[scene : Cola and Bella at Ken's house, Bella knocks on the door]

*The door opens.*

*Ken's mother appears, orange long hair, colorless eyes.*

Ken's mother [with an exhausted smile] "Oh, hi, Bella… came to visit again I see, and who's your friend?"

What the ! she looks pale…sunken eyes… this is not good …it's the start of a severe malnourishment… she hasn't eaten in days.

Guess their savings ran out first.

Colt : "How do you do ma'am I'm Colt and I came to check on Ken."

Ken's mother : "Thank you two… I'm sure Ken will be happy."

*They go to Ken's room, Ken is lying in bed, asleep from fever.*

*They just sit silently.*

Good, he doesn't seem to be malnourished.

His parents are good people… they'd rather starve than take even a portion of their son's food.

Again… a bit naïve , because if they collapse who'll take care of him ? But, they earned my respect, and therefore, my help.

It's a good thing the father isn't here… pulling this with three people is hard enough.

*Air subtly gathers around Colt's nose and mouth*

Gather it.. compress it.. oxygen and a small hint of CO2.

Now.. makeshift extra small oxygen tank is in place.

*Molecules of CO2 and water vapor are separated, atoms combining to a different shape*

It's a fast acting-short duration sleeping gas… it has some effects similar to Propofol except it's a gas.

Having secret research knowledge sure is handy.

*Bella's head fell.*

*Colt then looks at Ken to find he's still asleep.*

*Colt sneaks outside the room, he finds Ken's mom sitting at a table, barely keeping her head up.*

Not that she needs it but..

*Colt makes the gas from behind her, her head falls on the table.*

*Colt heads outside, kneels on one knee, touches the ground.*

*In front of him where his other hand is placed ,two syringes are formed.*

*Colt holds them.*

Create a vacuum around the needles

*Colt heads inside, stands next to the mother, he fills the first syringe with glucose Then injects her.*

This will help on the short term , but the long run ..not really .

I need to do away with that pig or else we'll have a famine on our hands.

*Colt starts heading to Ken's room, on the way, he decomposes and reconstructs the syringe he used to inject the mother.*

I think this should be a good method of sanitization, since no foreign atoms or organisms are present.

*Colt reaches Ken's room, takes one of the syringes and draws some of Ken's blood.*

*Then fills the other syringe with antibiotics and injects Ken.*

That takes care of Ken.

I know that one shot won't do the job but it will help tremendously.

*Colt sits as he was before like nothing'd happened*

*Hides the blood syringe in his clothes, waits.*

*Bella's head moves slightly.*

*Bella lifts her head, looks at Colt.*

Bella :"What happened?"

Colt :"Nothing, you just spaced out for a minute."

Bella: "Oh.."

Colt : "I think we should leave and let him rest."

Bella [ a bit sad ]: "Yeah.. you're right."

Sorry little one ,but you're not gonna waste my efforts ,I didn't take all these risks for nothing.

*As they leave the room, the find that Ken's mother is still asleep on the table.*

Called it.

Colt [ whispering to Bella ] :"Don't wake her up."

*Bella nods silently.*

*They leave, door closes.*
