Sorry for the very late update...I was working on this chapter and how it would look. I kinda think it wasn't that good...but, then again it was.
If you see anything wrong with this chapter(at least the operation part) tell me, I will try my best to improve it.(Yeah...i'm working at midnight, again...)
Please read and review.
The Doctor and the Lawyer
"So, you guys are just gonna operate on him, right off the bat like that!?" Maya Fey asked, her red face already matching the color of her teary eyes. Tyler Chase held his hands up, as if trying to defend himself from a certain punch the younger girl would likely deliver to his face.
"I know you're worried about Mr. Wright, b-" Maya didn't let him finish.
"You hardly know what's going on with him!!" Maya told him, closing her eyes as she let more tears slide down to her red cheeks. "Are you trying to kill him!?" Chase sighed, sadly. He was going to hit Derek really hard in the face for this if that phoenix guy died.
"I know how you feel, but, understand this; if we don't do anything your friend might die…but, if we do this operation it might just saved him. It's the only chance your friend has for survival…and believe me, he's got the best surgeon around, operating him." Maya opened her eyes, and looked down towards the floor.
"Please," she whispered to Chase, who hardly could hear her. "te-tell them to not let Nick die…" Chase nodded, giving her an assuring grin.
"I'll pass on the message."
Phoenix Wright lay unconscious on the operation table, towering above him were Derek and Othello, behind them Derek's nurse Angie, and Victor, who was holding a plate with some syringes, with some of the cure that supposedly cured Kardia, that Kasal had received that morning, which according to Victor and Othello's theory, would help them fight the virus.
"Now, we will begin," Othello informed Derek, who held the scalpel just a few inches away from the sick man's chest, which was already covered slightly by the antibiotic gel. "first, cut open the chest. Let's see the damage." Derek nodded, as the scalpel touched Phoenix's skin, slowly cutting his chest. The incision was made, and Derek with the help of Othello, slowly separated the skin, making a deeper opening.
"Drain the blood, quick!!" Angie quickly inserted the tube in the opening, sucking the excess blood in order for the doctors to see the ailing heart.
"Oh…my…." Angie began.
"…god…" Victor finished. The heart was pumping slowly, and next to it, was a huge white colored bump that pumped along with the heart. Most of this white bump covered the heart, making impossible for it to beat correctly.
"And…this is it," Othello whispered, he turned to Derek, who was prepared once again with the scalpel. "Listen well, removing the tumor is very risky, it attached most of itself on the heart, any false move on your part may kill him, doctor."
"Yeah, I know…" Derek told him, nodding his head.
"Careful, doctor." Angie warned, as the surgeon moved the scalpel slowly towards the tumor. He slowly cut it, moving slower at each beat of the heart. The incision was complete, and with the forceps, he removed some of the 'skin' to reveal the inside of the Kardia tumor. Victor was the first to gasp.
"This things are…larva!?" Derek and the others had never expected such a scene, more than a hundred small blue shrimp like larva ran around the tumor. The larva were digging their tiny claws against the lower part of the tumor, turning the white swelling pink. "Is this thing Kardia!?"
"Quick!! The laser, Angie!!" Derek ordered, dropping the scalpel in a nearby tray and quickly snatching the pen like surgical laser. He let the laser do its work, hitting and destroying the larva. Othello wasn't too far behind, helping Derek remove the small parasites from the tumor.
"Destroy them quickly!!" ordered Othello, as he passed the laser over a group of larva, destroying them. "Don't let them out of the tumor!!" Angie and Victor watched in silent surprise as the doctors quickly destroyed the small yet dangerous threat from the tumor. Finally only a group of six larva remained, moving madly around the area. Derek went over with the laser, determined to stop the threat. He never got the chance to.
"What the!?" The small parasites, suddenly, buried themselves on the tumor, disappearing from view. "Damn!!" Derek cried, clutching the laser tighter.
"This thing…" BEEP!! BEEP!!!
"He's going into cardiac arrest!!" Angie yelled. Derek was forced to throw the laser to the floor, quickly moving his hand towards the heart. He massaged the heart….a couple of minutes passed, and the arrest had ended. "Doctor! His vitals just dropped to 75!"
"We gotta get those things out of him before they cause an arrest he might not survive from!" Othello told Derek, who nodded. The older doctor passed his laser towards the younger doctor and went to a nearby cabinet to grab a new one. As soon as Othello left, the larva that Derek had missed to eliminate once again sprouted from the tumor. This ones, however, were bigger and of red colored, who began to dig around the tumor with their claws.
"Damn bastards…they can change form, too!!" Victor growled. "Stiles, move your ass!! Get rid of the bastards quick before they find an opening to the heart!!" Derek turn on the laser, passing it over the first larva. It took longer to destroy the larva, than before, making Derek nervous. Another laser stroke down and destroyed the parasite. Othello had returned.
"They seem to have a stronger hide! Let's see how far we can get if we combine the two lasers at once! Victor, get ready to grab the syringes!" Othello and Derek destroyed two more of the five remaining larva, only to mutter in frustration as the three last larva hide inside the tumor again.
"Is this thing playing with us!?" Angie asked, looking back at the machines to check Phoenix's condition. "He's going into another arrest!!" Derek quickly put the laser in Angie's hands, as he quickly massaged the heart. Seconds later, the arrest ended. "Vitals are close to 50!! We must get rid of those parasites immediately, doctor!!" As soon as those words had left the nurse's mouth, the larva emerged again, in an all new form.
This new larva were slightly bigger, with a small brownish hide covering their backs, the claws were a bit larger too. "Damn, not again!"
"Laser, quick!!" The laser fell on the parasite, but, nothing happened. "It doesn't work!?" Othello cried. He and Derek tried it again, watching in vain as the larva's claws dug on the tumor. "What is going on!?"
"That brown thing must be protecting it!" Victor told them. "The scalpel, Stiles! Cut that son of a bitch open! Angie, help the doctor by holding the bitch down with the forceps!!" The nurse grabbed the forceps, quickly catching the larva, who tried to claw its way out. "Okay now," Victor quickly went over to the first syringe. "this should paralyze that little bitch!" Victor quickly injected the parasite, that in seconds stopped moving. "Now, cut!!" Derek did as he was told, cutting the parasite's brown hide, behind him, Victor aided Othello, and did the same with another of the parasites. As soon as the hide was removed, Angie passed the laser to Derek, who had no problem eliminating the parasite, taking a few seconds. It was destroyed.
"One more to go!!" Angie cried. The other two doctors were barely finishing the other parasite behind them. The third one was digging once again.
"DAMN!!"
"Prepare for the arrest, Stiles!!" Othello yelled. Seconds later, the sick man went into cardiac arrest once again. Derek massaged the area quickly, and stopped the arrest.
"His vitals are 45, now!! If he goes into another arrest it might kill him!"
"The bastards coming out, again!" Victor yelled, pointing as the parasite made its way again up. Angie held the parasite down, with Victor coming towards it to administer the syringe.
"What the!?" Blue small larva left the mouth of the parasite, once again, circling like crazy around the tumor. "Shit!!" Othello and Derek quickly moved with lasers in hand, to destroy the small blue parasites all over again. Victor paralyzed the creature once again, he threw the syringe to the ground, quickly grabbing the scalpel and cutting the parasite's brown hide.
"Here, Dr. Othello! Give us a hand!!" Othello forced himself to move away from the blue parasites, in order to get rid of the bigger one that Angie held down. Victor ran towards the cabinet and grabbed a new laser. He quickly went over to Derek's side and helped him eliminate the parasites.
The larva were moving faster than before, dodging some of the laser beams that the two doctors sent their way. They got two, three, and so on, with only five remaining on the tumor, having no chance to hide. The two doctors destroyed four of the remaining parasites…missing one. Derek acted quickly…and so did his healing touch…he went towards the parasite….
Shoot! Cliffhanger, again!? Yeah, this author loves cliffhangers sooooooo much..okay, two last chapters follow after this one....
Hopefully this operation scene wasnt too....umm...strange? So anyway, expect me to post the last two chapters in a couple of days...or more!
Please review!!
