Tord X Tom

Chapter Sixteen

Dr. Banner took Tord out, "I saw you. I know what you did to your patients. Years from now, I saw you. You told me about Braginski... Jason Sawyer... Ivan Valenski. You told me. All those guys stay with you. All of us." Tord started laughing like a madman, "We all stay with you. We haunt you, haunt you. All of us. We haunt you."

"Could I...? Could I have some paper? Paper and a pen. Need to write something. Listen, your patient, Peter...is having seizures. That's why he hasn't learned to speak properly."

"Who told you this?"

"Just telling you something you already know. You just haven't figured it out yet. He's not slow, he's having seizures. Electro... Electroconvulsive therapy. You used it on him. That's how you reset him."

"No one would ever use E.C.T on a child. I don't know that he is having seizures. If he is, that could send him into status. It's a permanent state of seizure. No, no. Peter's is my friend's son. I would never risk that."

"You will."

"Can you just grab the end of that for me? I've... I've given him a sedative." Jordan said a little shakily. Viktoria nodded, "Okay."

"I'm only gonna do it once. The settings are very, very low. Are you gonna stay in the room?"

"Yeah." Jordan frown slightly, "Okay, great. If you could just apply some pressure. Good. I'm just gonna press this button. I'm just gonna set it a little bit lower. Okay, now I'm at the lowest possible. ...Okay." Jordan takes a sip of Vodka to try to calm her nerves, "Here we go..." Jordan turned on the machine. Peter started to convulse violently, "Okay. We're done, that's it. We're done. Okay, it's over." Viktoria started to cry lighly, "All right. He's all right. He's all right. Okay. Okay."

"Peter? Peter... How are you doing? Can you say hi, Peter?" Peter was breathing heavily, he calmed down a little before saying, "Hi, Peter."

"You're okay, you're okay." Jordan hugged Peter.
