De Pride Isle Sanatorium

Chapter 33: Nurse, help us

Dinner was then announced after the storytime activity. I managed to grab a nurse before he walked into the kitchen. "What's wrong, dear?" Brother Andrew says as he sits me down in a chair. He took me somewhere private where we could talk. The consultation room. "Don't tell anyone I told you this but... I think people are planning to raid." Brother Andrew is quiet for a moment. "...A raid?" He repeats. "Yes, a raid. I saw about fourteen people drinking red liquid near the melon tree. Can you do something about it? I don't wanna die.."

Brother Andrew's expression slowly turns into worry. He looks around the room as if he is trying to find the right words to say. "There's no such thing as this 'red liquid' you speak of. No one is going to die. If you suspect someone is raiding, I will handle it. I do remember a lot of people leaving the lecture hall before an activity was enlightened."

"Thank you, Brother. Please, don't tell anyone. Someone said if I told, I would be thrown off the cliff."

"...Who?"

"I'm not saying. Just please, deal with the raiders."

"Okay, I will." Brother Andrew stands up and walks around his desk. He stands next to me and puts his hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone that you told me."

"Thank you, Brother."

He smiles at me and gestures for me to leave. I stand up and walk to the door. I open it and walk out. I hope nobody saw me. I just had to tell someone. If I didn't, a lot of people would die. I hope Jaxton doesn't find out about me telling a nurse. He would get so upset with me.

I start walking towards the cafeteria. I scan the crowd to see if I can find Jaxton and Marissa. I find them and start to walk towards them.

I really hope these nurses solve this quickly...
