CHAPTER 24
Chef Fritzerg didn't say the lewd words, but we know what he means with those words. And there were my emotions again, trying to overcome me, but I held my ground and instead, did the opposite. With the thought in mind that I should be strong enough even against myself if I wanted to help Sean and everyone, I widen my smile despite the bizarre thoughts in my head because of what the chef said.
"Very well, then, Chef Fritzerg. Alden Holton for $10 tonight, 7 pm. We'll take our leave now."
The chef smirked smugly before I tug Georgina's arm who seems shocked with how I reacted and the words that came out of my mouth. On the hallways, she blinked rapidly before giving me her I-can't-believe-you-look. I shrug and smirked, resembling the smug smirk of Chef Fritzerg back in the main cuisine.
"We should go back to the quarters and tell this to Sean and Captain Welton," I said.
She nodded in agreement, and together, we headed to

Because I didn't bring too many clothes with me as per Sean's instructions back in the hospital, my clothes mostly consist of jeans and blouses, and some loose t-shirts and shorts for sleeping. With the plan that Sergeant Valencio formulated, I will be needing a sexy nightgown or lingerie, but I don't have anything like that with me. Thankfully, Georgina has plenty with her since she manages to ready everything before we were hastily enlisted here. So, here we are, in our room— Sean and I, but Sean is not here. He was left in the military quarters, watching us through the cameras they'd tapped in. With her silk nightgowns scattered above the bed, I'm sure Sean is shaking his head in disagreement for me to wear these, given that they will expose most of my skin and barely cover me, and they are watching through the cameras, and probably, others may be watching too. Sergeant Valencio insisted that we will block the cameras in the facility's system becau

December 11, 2050 - CREF, Main Lobby, Wolfe Creek Crater, Western Australia As doctors and soldiers, we were trained to react efficiently and productively in times of emergency, whether you are in the middle of your toilet session, shower, or even when you were sleeping and suddenly awakes because of an emergency. Yet this time, as we know we are dealing with a psychopath doctor, we can't help but groan in protest as the electronic voice of a woman keeps on repeating the same words, over and over again through the speakers around, to the rooms, hallways and even when we were already in the main lobby, adding fuel to the irritation building within us. "Calling the attention of everyone, please proceed to the main lobby. Calling the attention of everyone, please proceed to the main lobby. Calling the attention of everyone, please proceed to the main lobby." Lieutenant Stone who's standing beside Georgina on my left side, groaned agai

Half of us were turned into zombies, it was Dr. Jhero's way of giving us a warning for our attempts to bring him down. It was his way of saying he's a couple of steps ahead of us, and though he didn't know our plan, for him, it wouldn't do anything. He controls the parasite and the situation. He controls everything now. Sean, Captain Welton, and Lieutenant Stone were furious, but controlling their rage by clenching their balled fists hard. They know that if they let their emotion take over them, the situation will only get worst, and we might end up all being zombies. Dr. Jhero's laugh echoed through the whole lobby, our co-medical team who were left in their sanity stepped back in fear, tears rimming at the corner of their eyes, while the military forced simply looked away from their comrades who were now gone out of their minds. "See? Just this and you all crumble down with your emotions. What more if I did more of it? Hmm, would you l

As Sean's body shake, it's as if he was vibrating, we were vibrating. The elevator doors were still closed, but the ledge wasn't moving. It's as if we were stuck on this floor within the elevator. And as he let his emotions pour, I held him tight, and just like what he does whenever I was the one crumbling with my emotions, I plant light kisses on his hair. It was like that for a while, he was crying and I just let him. Though nowadays, men crying weren't acceptable in society. As people's life becomes better over the years, the gap between poor and rich becomes small, and as everything falls in the better place, the society's mindset becomes worst. According to studies, it was mainly because of the improved technology, well, even before, a poor mindset is one of technology's disadvantages despite it delivering more intelligence to people. Society set beauty standards, so plastic surgeries were practiced more often than before, and the beauty produc

Everything is set and as dad told us, it was easy to brief everyone about the plan because Dr. Jhero is not in the facility tomorrow. He even bid a bye to us and told us he is meeting the world leaders who agree with his plan, so they could start conquering the world since each country's population is now ranging from billion to just hundred thousand to millions. I know it was to tell us to stop trying to plot a plan against him because he's already moving, still, we would try. There were times that I ask myself, why would Dr. Jhero play a game with us like these? He has his own medical team who could work for the antidote or a computer and hacking team to make another software that'd control his parasites, but why us? Richforte Medical Team of Richforte Memorial Hospital from Philadelphia, USA. If it is for the expertise of our team, okay, that's given. Richforte family excels in medics after all, but still. And then after I found out everything a

December 22, 2050 - CREF, Wolfe Creek Crater, Western Australia We are currently having our coffee break for this day, and as usual, we were sitting all together at one table since there are only a few of us remained, and then some of us were in Team A. As expected, Team A mostly consists of military than doctors since only a few of us in the medical team knows a lot about computers, mostly those who shifted from IT course to medical practice back in college. As we sip on our teas, some were sipping coffee, we tried hard to suppress ourselves from talking about our insights and reactions to Dr. Jhero's impromptu visit for the second time this week. This time, Sean knows he was coming so he came into the lab to meet him and they shared a conversation. And though I didn't hear them, I know Dr. Jhero was mocking Sean because he doesn't have a choice but to follow whatever he wants, and Sean is good to act like Dr. Jhero's words were affecting him and his ego

My arms drop at my side as I turn on my heels to see Dr. Jhero, as usual, with his mischievous smirk. From my peripheral vision, I can see some taking quick glances at us we stand across one another. I didn't smile, nor bowed my head to greet him as he instructed us to do. That only made his smirk widens. "Do you know that curiosity kills the cat?" he asks again when I didn't say anything. I raised a brow, "Why? Would you kill me?" He chuckles, "Why? Are you a cat, Dr. Hawl?" "No, I'm not," I answer. "Ah, feisty. I like it." He moves and started to circle me, looking at me from head to toe and back again, with malice in his eyes and I clench my fist. Seeing that, his smirk widens even more, and he walks closer to me until he was just an inch away from me, his mouth so near in my neck and I feel goosebumps as his breath hits my skin. "You know what? I don't know why do you a

Lawrence was indeed a great help to them. Because of him, they got more to know about Dr. Jhero's plans and Dr. Jhero himself, and the Colleti family. Everything that Lawrence told them has proof stored on a hard drive, and they will use it against Dr. Jhero when the time comes. The boy even has a copy of the parasite data file. When their conversation turns to Alden whose story about the street children was confirmed by Lawrence, the boy's reaction was a mixture of sadness and rage, a sign that he and Alden have shared a lot of memories and that they were good friends. "But don't worry about your friend," Dr. Sean Richforte says when he saw Lawrence's face. "We can still save him. We are developing a software that will tap in on the one that was stored in Dr. Jhero's head that controls the parasite, and you could help a lot. Help us develop this one successfully and we will save your friend, and the rest of the remaining population in the world."
