"Heard from the doctor yet?" asked one of the masked guards.
"No. This is weird. He's taking too long"
"Hold this" ordered the doctor handing Jun-ho the bloody scalpel.
"We're in a hurry. Maybe I should try working on those?" called number 28. "I bet I could do it if you teach me a few tricks."
"You think you know so much?" asked the doctor raising his eyebrows. "None of this is easy," he said, glancing down at his bloody apron and then at the body on the counter.
"If you were so good, how come you ruined the eyes you pulled out last time?" asked number 28. "Those Chinese guys busted me!"
"Listen, I'll tell you what went wrong" said the doctor stepping closer. "That thing was still alive when I got here. How'd you expect me to operate with all of that struggling?"
"We don't have time for this" said Jun-ho quickly. "The boat will be here soon"
"I nearly pissed myself that night" whispered one of the masked guards when the doctor had calmed down again. "I thought the thing was dead, but then it shot up like a zombie.It started glaring at me with one of its eyes popping out."
"We could hardly salvage anything. That zombie looked promising, at least before we saw inside" said another supervisor.
"I almost died making the delivery that day" sighed number 28. "And we didn't even get full price because it only had one kidney."
Jun-ho's eyes widened slightly. His brother was missing a kidney. Could it be?
No, no. In-ho was a tough guy. He had dealt with a lot. He was still alive. He had to be. Jun-ho didn't know what he would do if he wasn't.
"It's my fault the zombie was missing a kidney?" asked the doctor flaring up again.
"Hopefully, this guy is all right" muttered number 28.
