When Worlds Collide (Taynew)

episode ✍️ 19

When they got to the doctor, he examined New and said, "It seems like there's a very small needle or something embedded in your neck. I can't be sure, but I need to remove it quickly."

New, scared of the pain, asked, "If you take it off, it's going to hurt, right?"

The doctor replied, "Just a little pain, like when you get an injection."

New winced. "Injections hurt too."

Arm intervened, "Newwie, if it's poison or something that could slowly weaken your body, you'd end up in the hospital with lots of injections. Are you okay with that?"

New, now more frightened, said, "P', how come it could be that bad? Don't scare me."

Arm signaled to the doctor, who nodded and said, "It's possible, like Mr. Arm said."

New, now truly worried, said, "Really? Then take it off quickly."

The doctor and Arm held back their smiles, knowing they were scaring New a bit. The doctor said, "Okay, you need to lie on that bed."

New nodded and lay down. The doctor slowly injected a numbing agent and carefully removed the thing. New winced in pain, "Ouch, it hurts!"

The doctor reassured him, "It's done, Mr. New. You can get up now."

New said, "It's still burning."

The doctor explained, "It's because I pulled the chip out. Apply this cream, and it will be fine."

When Tay and Arm saw the chip, Tay said, "It's a microchip."

Arm asked, "How did you know?"

Tay responded, "I have knowledge about these things. I gathered the information."

Arm, puzzled, asked, "How did it even get on Newwie?"

The doctor said, "It's simple. Someone might have just brushed past him at college and gently touched his neck to implant it. I've seen similar cases where they put poison on them, but this case is a chip, not poison."

Arm said, "It means someone at his college did that?"

Tay replied, "Maybe they just paid someone to do it."

Arm nodded and Tay said, "Destroy the chip fast."

Arm dismantled the chip and said, "It can only transmit audio. You said he could see too?"

Tay explained, "Maybe he hacked your CCTV cameras at your house and the street cameras too. That's how he saw me without being there."

Arm pondered, "I need a bodyguard to stay with New 24/7, even in his classroom, but where can I find that?"

Elsewhere, Key muttered angrily, "That bastard ruined my plan. Even after getting the chip out, I'll stil kill you and kidnap New for sure. You warned me to come to you, right? I will, but not now. When the time comes." He smiled dangerously.

Back at the hospital, New protested, "P', don't even think about it. I won't allow anyone to follow me everywhere. You need to catch him quickly."

Arm replied, "But you got that chip at college. What if something like that happens again?"

New insisted, "Whatever happens, I don't want another bodyguard. I need my personal time. Are you going to ruin that too?" He left the room and headed to his friends' cabin.

Arm turned to Tay and said, "Tay, thank you for saving him today and for figuring out the problem. If it wasn’t for you, that guy could have harmed him." Tay nodded silently,  before leaving the room without saying a word.
