The baby
Elmore General Hospital, Friday 11:00 pm.
It was a quiet Friday night at Elmore's General Hospital. All the patients were sleeping on their beds while the guards were checking their situation.
"11:05 pm everything is fine!" said a guard at the microphone. He was watching a panel of monitors that reflected the situation in the rooms with a sophisticated camera system.
"Roger!" said a guard in the hallway with his walkie-talkie.
Sometimes is hard to be a security guard, no one could tell when a patient needed help. However, that night everything looked quiet; every single patients was peacefully sleeping in their beds. The guard tried to relax itself: "Nothing can go wrong!" he thought.
Suddenly a little alarm started playing.
The guard woke up; the alarm was coming from the number 5 room of the intensive care unit.
From the monitor, the completely bandaged creature begun to move.
The guard spoke at the microphone.
"Number 5 came out of the coma!"
"Roger! I'll send some doctors!" said the other guard in the hallway.
In less than five minutes, two doctors and five guards arrived in the room number five.
"What's going on?" said a guard looking at the creature on the bed.
"Number 5 has started moving, it was motionless for days!" said a doctor.
"Who is this bandaged creature?" asked a second guard.
"We don't know, all we know it's a kid that survived in an explosion. In fact its body is covered by third-degree burns!" said a doctor.
"That's serious! Where are his parents?"
"We don't know! The child looks orphan, at least that's what the inspectors said! They didn't find any relative of this child!"
"nhfmfsffng…." Said the child from its bed, connected to an oxygen tube.
"Doctor, the child started to talk!" said another guard.
"Good, the child is slowly getting better!"
A doctor started to approach to the creature to hear better its words.
"Nodpfzfd…."
"Doctor, where you found the child?" said a guard.
"We didn't find it!" said the second doctor.
"It was saved and brought here, already bandaged, by a sweet and courageous little girl!"
"Amazing! By the way, what's the girl's name?"
The child talked again and, this time, its words sounded clear.
"P-p-penny…F-fitzgerald…..!"
