When he opened his eyes this time, he was in the hospital. There was a thick bandage on one arm and needles on the other.

“Your stamina is truly amazing.”

Mark, who had just come to see him, dropped his tongue. He made a number of comments about Josh’s condition when he got to the hospital, how he was treated, and the injections he received, but it sounded like “a lot of injections and treatment.”

Josh was the first to pull out a cell phone, among the simple belongings Mark had brought, listening to his explanation in a dry voice. He checked the messages he had received and found a message from Emma.

[Giving me a call. I have a question to ask.]

There was not much sense of crisis in the simple message.

I will try later.

Thinking the same as last time, Josh casually confirmed the remaining message. Meanwhile, Mark’s story was slowly ending.

“I have processed all the rabies and tetanus injections. Fortunately, there was not a broken bone.”

Mark concluded as if he had taken a breath. And added a joke with a smile.

“How did you come up with the idea of ​​facing a group of coyotes? C must have been scared enough, but you passed out and looked dead. Laura was surprised to see him so taken aback.”

It was strange to hear that Chase was so ashamed of himself. Josh, who only smiled vaguely because he didn’t know what to say, soon walked away.

“So when is the return possible?”

“Hey hey. Don’t rush, what’s the rush?”

Mark reached out and calmed Josh …

“It will be around tomorrow because we can see the progress in a day or so. Take a break now, you can relax, and come back after the procedure is done and you are discharged. Maybe you should talk to your son. “

“Yes.”

He thought of Pete immediately. This time, however, they strangely overlapped with Chase, and their faces became confused. Josh quickly changed the subject.

“So what happened?”

He had many questions. Mark began to speak with a deep sigh between them.

“The problem started at the hospital.”

As expected, Josh thought. Mark kept talking.

“It seems that the chocolate we ate had medicine in it. Fortunately, it was not a drug that had serious side effects. After noon, everyone got better. Henry ate more, so he had more hallucinations. It took him twice as long to wake up … Seth, his condition was getting worse. Anyway, he told me he didn’t pick up anything for free. I was lucky that Isaac didn’t eat anything. It was easy to check the ingredients because Henry had had two handfuls of candy. “

Mark shook his head. But Josh’s interest was elsewhere.

“So who is the criminal? Who did that in the first place?”

Of course, Josh thought of Steward. But Mark’s words that followed were different than expected.

“It was the clerk who got us the chocolate.”

“What?”

Without knowing it, Josh let out a high-pitched voice. Mark nodded.

“Come on, you know. The cult that causes attacks on dominant alphas. Must have been a believer there. The hospital is operating a research institute on dominant alpha, right? He went in there on purpose to steal patient information or what he needed, and it turned out we were the target. “
