When I came to, Medical was in a panic. Nurses and Doctors were rushing around, frantic. The kids and I were confused and a little scared. They looked at me, knowing I would be able to figure out what was going on.
I locked on to Johnny's mind. I knew he knew what was happening. His thoughts were racing, but I found out what was happening and I froze. Johnny looked at me. He knew I went into his head.
I didn't believe it. Did Johnny let it happen?
"What's happening?" Asked Alexander.
I didn't know how to answer. How could I tell them that Nathanael...?
"Nathanael didn't get his tracing device out," I told them all.
"That's not overly terrible," said Emilee. "They can take it out now."
"No, they can't." I replied. "Nathanael's dead."
They were frozen in their spots. Their faces went from scared to upset to disbelief and back again.
Johnny came up to us then, a pitiful look on his face. "I'm so sorry," he said. "He refused to get his chip out yesterday. He was too scared. He said he would wait until today. Dr. Forman must've hit a kill switch or something. There was nothing we could do. I'm sorry." He then walked away. He didn't want to see the pained expressions that were all over our faces.
Why would Dr. Forman do that?
He could have still followed us with Nathanael's chip still in.
Ryan came in then. He knew what happened. He gave me and the other fiv- four a pitiful, sad smile. He called Johnny over to him.
Dr. Forman hailed again. Nathanael was a warning.
And he could kill the rest of us whenever he pleased.
