J*A*D*E*S
Darci reads the message on the piece of paper that the ER secretary has given to her only moments before. It read: Your office D. Who the hell is D? She asks the secretary how she'd gotten the message and she replies with a shrug and an, I don't know. No, she is too busy filing her nails. Darci tells the other ER doctor she is heading to her office and that a patient has come in for a follow up.
Darci had moved into a diagnostician position weeks earlier, but she kept an ER shift once a week. It kept her fresh and she liked trauma. The elevator let her off on the 12th floor and she walks towards her office. Her usual secretary isn't there today, since it's her day off. The door to her office is ajar.
She swings the door open to reveal Dathan sitting in the patient chair. "I took the liberty of letting myself in," he says.
Darci grimaces. "Dathan, what are you doing? You don't get sick so you don't need my services," says Darci. She eases to her desk and is about to sit in her chair then changes her mind; she sits in the chair next to Dathan instead.
A ghost of a smile crosses his features. "I do not need you for myself, alas, I am here for Jo."
Dathan fishes into his pocket and draws out a vial. He extends his hand and gives it to Darci. "That is the serum that made Jo into a hybrid. I wish for you to analyze it, I wish to know what it is, what it is made of and why Jo was the only one to ever survive its implementation."
Darci stares at the liquid that shifts by its own accord. Her eyes meet Dathan's. "How do you know Jo is the only one to survive it?"
"Journals of Susan's that we discovered. I have yet to fully translate them for Natalie but as I need no sleep I have read them from cover to cover. I fear some volumes are missing as there are large gaps in time. Could that cure Jo of her malady?" he asks. He leans forward, elbows on his knees.
