The man injected a syringe of green liquid in his body.

Man: I need your blood for the laboratory research.

Jordan nodded and the man took 3 ml of blood from his body.

Man: now rest and thank you (smirking)

Jordan: Thank you? For what? (Confused)

The man winked at him and vanished. Jordan stared in shock and fainted.

In the morning at the hospital.

Michael was fast asleep on the hospital couch. He had spent all the night there waiting for any news about Jordan. The doctor tapped his shoulder. He squinted and stood up quickly.

Michael: Doctor (running his fingers through his hair)

Doctor: Mr. Connelly, you can see your son.

Michael smiled in relief. He followed the doctor as he led him to Jordan's room. When they entered, Jordan was sleeping peacefully. He sat next to him and kissed him on his forehead.

Michael: you have to wake up son (stroking his hair)

The doctor shook his head.

Doctor: He's in coma.

Michael: What? (Startled) but why?

Doctor: I'm afraid we can't specify the reason.

Michael: What the hell are you saying? (Angrily) what kind of doctor are you?

He tugged his sleeve.

Michael: why are you a doctor if you can't tell what a patient is suffering from?!

Doctor: excuse me sir but it's not my fault he is like that.

Michael: Then whose? (Yelling)

The doctor's eyes changed into light blue. Michael let go of him and stepped back in despair. The doctor's whole body and face changed. Michael trembled. The figure turned to stare at Michael with a wide smile. It was Brian Clarke. The man who had died 3 years.

Michael: B...but no...who are you? I mean ... the doctor... (Shaking)

Brian: Hello Michael. Nice to meet you. I'm Brian Clarke (smiling)

Michael fainted.

After three hours, Michael woke up to find Emily and his children sitting by his side.

Melinda: Dad!

Emily: Honey!

The doctor came in with some papers.

Doctor: Excuse me.

Michael trembled at the sight of him.

Michael: Who are you? And what are you doing here?

Emily: He's your doctor, darling. Calm down.

Michael gave him a long stare and sighed.

Doctor: It's normal for him to react that way but anyways he fainted because of a terrible experience. (As he handed the papers to Elvin)
