DRIPPING DARKNESS

Ch-6: Friends or Enemies? Part- (2)

"From the depths of my heart, come the words of a brother,
where our souls and our minds, are like that of no other.
The spirit of competition will always be there,
in the look of our eyes, and the glance of our stare.
Protecting each other, is always a must,
good times or bad times, never losing that trust."

(PART-1)

It's been some time since Theo got injured. Melisa called Liam a while later, Liam got to know about him and then he came to visit him in the hospital alongside Mason.

Mason: "what is it, Liam? Who's sick?"

Liam: "you'll see."

Mason: "what the hell Liam? You said it was important...you better not make any dumb excuses this time. Cause.... they suck."

Melisa: "you two! get over with your pep talks, we don't have much time."

Liam: "sorry.. did u find out what happened to him? Why isn't he healing?"

Mellisa: "I don't think the answer to your question is as simple as saying a yes or no."

Liam: " what does that mean?"

Mellisa: " I ran some lab tests of his blood. I found wolfsbane. The crazy part is that the wolfsbane is trying to invade his immune response and his body keeps trying not to heal. It's a loop. It keeps on happening. And i have not idea what I can do for that. "

Mason: " Oh...I don't have a good feeling about this. Is this who I think it is? Answer me Liam...please for god's sake.."

Liam nodded at Mellisa, both sharing their eye glances and secret exchanges with each other. Those messages could not be interpreted by Mason, the one who was trying to digest why the hell did Liam bring him to this hospital for.

Mellisa: "you guys have heard the horrible news that's all over the place right?"

Liam: "little children going missing?"

Mellisa: "yes. Any clues about what's going on? or what's about to happen?"

Liam: "No..I guess not...I'll have to take a look into that later. Now...Where is he? Take us there.."

Mellisa: "..Yeah sure... I don't wanna get caught someday trying to do illegal stuff in a hospital and neither do you guys so get your butts to room no. 420."

Mason: " 420? Did it have to be 420?"

Liam:" why? What's the problem?"

Mason: "I don't know...It's just an unlucky number.."

Liam: "what?...whatever."

(PART-2)

Liam and Mason arrived at room 420. Mason stepped in before, Liam in curiousness. He looked at him and was shocked.

Mason: "oh my god! It's this guy again. LIAM, why didn't you tell me this before? That's what's important to you at this time?"

Liam: "your reaction pretty much explains it. Doesn't it?"

Mason: "Stop using those one-liners..okay? Your little one-liners don't work on me...Liam Dunbar.."

Liam: "Desperate times..desperate measures.."

Mason: "Oh! For God's sake Liam! shut the hell up.."

Liam came closer to Theo. His eyes were semi-closed. The heart monitor kept beeping.
