The Doctor

Chapter 15

Albina just had a simple role in this plan, despite the fact that she started their plan and that she and Thomas would be in charge of it. She did feel guilty that she was in charge and that she wouldn't have to do much because it seemed that everyone was doing hard work while she did not have to do anything hard. By the time Smok would find out that all the victims would be against him and his loyal ones would be out of the way, it would be too late for him. Only just ten minutes ago did Albina get a message from Rinko that she and José were going to give the instructions to prisoners and became their guides. She also told Albina that John and Dionyz have taken control of the generators and the vans were hijacked. Albina wanted to check up on Lester so she took out her walkie-talkie and dialed the station to him.

"Hello Lester?" greeted Albina. There was no answer. She waited a minute before dialing again but like last time there was no answer. Why wasn't he picking up? She dialed him again and gain but the answer never came. Something went wrong and she knew it. Hopefully, he was just being rude and not answering her because he didn't trust her.

Suddenly, there was Dr. Smok and Nurse Snynnister on the other side of the door. Shocked, Albina wasted no time and hastily thrust the walkie-talkie into the pocket of her jacket. Dr. Smok along with Snynnister entered into the room without bothering to close and lock the door behind them. The Doctor, looking pleased, carried a clipboard and a pencil with him. Snynnister didn't have anything on her but she conjured her usual cynical grin.

"Today is the day, Albina Ratownik" said Smok with a tiny fanged smile.

" Why do you want to torture me?" asked Albina, trying to stall him. "You have already captured me, given me an itchy scar and thrown me across the room. Thanks to the scar that you gave me: my skin stays pale and won't turn red no matter what. Your disease is making my guts hurt; I have lost the color in my eyes; my chest feels tight; and I get massive headaches once in a while. Why do you want to hurt me even more? I already feel like fainting?"

"Good," responded Smok "then you will have a lot of fun with your psychological experiment today. Ursela, don't let her out of your sight!"

"No problem," chuckled Snynnister as she pulled a scalpel that had a puny, tiny blade and directed it toward Albina.

"You're gonna stab me with that?" mocked Albina "That's cute."

"Laugh as much as you want but you're not going to be laughing when you find out that this scalpel can slice through your skin like butter." remarked Snynnister as she dropped her smile into a frown "Get up."

"But I don't want to" she taunted and a fearless, mocking smile "Doctor as your patient I refuse and do not give consent." Time was running out – for them! This was perfect.

Snynnister tried to slap Albina across the cheek but she dodged it and kicked her leg across the nurse's legs causing her to fall on her side.

"Go operate on her," grinned Albina to Smok as she pointed to the fallen nurse. "She doesn't look well."

Smok pushed Albina causing her to fall on the bed; then he picked her up by the collar of the neck and he pushed her towards the door way. As Snynnister got up she grabbed Albina by the shirt and gave her a good hard slap. It hurt like a bee sting and if it wasn't for her disease, her cheeks would have been red. Snynnister held the scalpel at her again as if she was desperate to stab her with it.

"Move it!" shouted the evil nurse.

Albina obeyed without hesitation.

***

Dr. Smok was in the front, Albina was in the middle and Snynnister in the back. She was still pointing the scalpel at Albina and her black eyes were watching Albina's every single move. The nurse warned Albina that if she made any suspicious movement, she would be tortured by Snynnister later. The teen's headache was getting bigger; her cheek was still glowing in pain; and she felt her heart racing. She was also afraid that the nurse would get so close to her that the scalpel would stab her nape. They were walking through the hallways that Albina was familiar with but then they walked the hallways that Albina had never seen before.
