Hellhound Eat Hellhound

Insidious Medicine

As Zack exits the hospital, Castle and Sweets arrive to tell them what they have about Dr. Gene.

Castle: Dr. Gene is our killer, the evidence is all we need.

Zack: But we need to get him first, and he could be anywhere for all we know.

Sweets: How's Taylor?

Zack: He's waking up. Loona's gonna talk to him.

Sweets: *Thinks* I want to watch them talk. I think he might help us find Gene.

The three then go back to Taylor's hospital room and keep a good distance from the window, as they watch Loona and Taylor socialize. It was pretty obvious Loona's plan was working. Taylor was calm and even smiling a bit. He had a lot of trust with Loona. Heck, what's surprising is Taylor can write sentences with proper grammar very fast.

Loona: *Giggles* Not gonna lie Taylor, you have a good taste in music.

Taylor: *Writes* Thanks. I do like Verosika's songs, and some punk and pop too.

Loona: I do want to ask, Taylor, do you like Butterscotch root beer?

Taylor: *Writes* Yes. It is so delicious. Not only is it a tasty drink to have with meals, it also helps me with swallowing pills.

Loona: What kind of pills?

Taylor: *Writes* I was told they were "Vitamins," according to the doctor. But my body always felt uneasy at times and I had the urge to fight. It hurt my head a lot.

Loona: I see... It didn't sound fun at all.

Taylor: *Writes* It wasn't. I thought he was my daddy. But then he kept taking small bits of blood, loose fur, loose hair, anything on me. Then he got more angry and demanding, and I got scared and tried to fight back, but I couldn't because I felt so weak. All I realized is he wasn't my dad, and that I have been taken from my family this whole time. My real parents are probably not aware where I am, and I really miss them.

Loona: I can understand how that is. I have a stepfather and even though he is an asshole, wuss, clingy bitch, and a bunch of things I hate about him... *Sighs* At least I'm able to have a parent figure in my life.

Taylor: *Writes* I'm sorry about that.

Loona: It's okay, Taylor. I do want to ask this. Do you know where we could find Gene? Your doctor? We might find your family if we find him.

Taylor: *Writes* I do remember him talking about taking a last trip through the city. Maybe sell off research or do more tests. He said he wanted to look for one more hound, but I don't know what he referred to by that. He killed all my friends, so there's no one left. But I heard him talking about the fact he killed my friends and that it was a, "good thing," he did it. Claiming he's "Saving Them" from me because I'm a "Parasite" to Hell's society.

Loona: You knew what he did... Did you...?

Taylor: *Nods slowly and writes* I know he killed them... I even could hear his plans with each one... I just hope they'll be at peace when the doctor gets his justice. No one deserves this short of a life, especially my friends.

Loona: We'll get him. Don't worry.

Loona looks at the window and nods to Sweets, Castle, and Zack. Sweets, Castle, and Zack then get in Sweets's car and pull out, searching for Gene. However, finding his exact pinpoint location would be like finding a needle in the haystack. However, Taylor saying Gene might be looking for "one more hound" could mean one of two things. To kidnap one and test for research, or kidnap one and test the experiments to see if the results turn out well.
