Maddox felt a wave of excitement go through him as he walked towards Dean Winchester's room. Maddox never thought it would be this easy. The Winchester is in hospital alone and weak.
It was perfect.
Maddox possessed the doctor who is assigned to Winchester's case. He played the part and greeted the other doctors. Turns out Dr White is quite a bubbly guy.
Finally reaching the room Maddox nods to the security guard and opens the door. He saw Dean go back on to the pillows and a sigh escapes his lips. Remembering the doctor's personality Maddox puts on a smile and says.
"I'm Dr White."
The demon walks around the bed and looks down at the older Winchester. It took everything in Maddox's power to not reach out and strangle the hunter to death. The sight of the hunter disgusted him.
Stick to the plan. Stick to the plan. Maddox told himself.
"How are you feeling today?"
"Fine." Dean answered.
Maddox gets out the stethoscope and places it on the hunter's chest.
"Can you take a deep breath for me?"
Dean obeys. Maddox heard the heart beating in a normal, steady rhythm.
That is all gonna change.
"Heart rate sounds normal...too normal."
Maddox decided now was the time to reveal himself.
Dean's reaction was priceless.
"I think we need to pick up the pace."
Maddox didn't need the stethoscope to hear the heart banging as loud as a drum against Dean's chest. A grin forms on the demon's face when Dean's breathing turned frantic.
"That's it." Maddox nodded. "Just like that."
"What the Hell do you want you son of a bitch?" Dean yelled.
Maddox got out a syringe and a vial. He puts the syringe in the vial.
"This...This will slow down your heart."
He removes the syringe and picks up the IV.
"Then your heart will stop."
His finger goes on the plunger. A smirk forms on his lips.
"Then you die."
Maddox's dark eyes meet Dean's. He wanted to witness the life draining from the hunter's face.
See you in Hell Winchester.
Maddox goes to push the plunger.
Then the sound of laughter stops him.
"Pathetic."
Maddox saw a smirk on Dean's face. The hunter looks at the syringe and shakes his head.
"You want to kill Dean and that's the best you got?" He scoffs. "Hello I thought you are a demon. Demons are supposed to make people suffer. I may not like your kind but you are creative in terms of your punishments. This...This is not creative this is simply an injection that will stop the heart and the person dies that's it! I'm sorry but that's...that is pathetic."
Maddox lowers the syringe.
"Hello Michael." He said his voice tight with annoyance. "I was wondering when you would show up."
"Didn't want to miss the execution." Michael smirked.
"I can see that."
Maddox looks out of the window to check no one is coming in. The nurses and doctors are all rushing to the other rooms.
Good.
"How did you know?" Michael asks.
Maddox turns round and frowns at the former archangel.
"Know what?"
"About me? You didn't seem surprised when I made my appearance."
"That's none of your business."
Michael raises his eyebrow.
"Was it Lucifer?"
" I am doing it for Lucifer. " Maddox smiled.
"Then it's not Lucifer who gave you the order." Michael clicked his tongue. "I guess I'm not surprised he is probably looking for me right now for the ritual."
The demon narrows his eyes. His frown deepens.
"What ritual?"
"Oh!" Michael pretended to look shock. "No one told you?"
"Told me what?"
Michael looks at him. A grin forms on his face.
"He is going to help me get my grace back."
Mary pulls up near the hospital. She parked the car in a secluded place so no one can find it. She gets out and looks up.
"This is it?" She asks.
Lucifer opens the car door and steps out. He looks in the same direction and nods.
"This is it." He nods. Mary is about to step forward but Lucifer grabs her shoulder forcing her to stop. "Wait!"
"What?"
The Devil narrows his eyes at the building.
"Demons are here."
"What!" Mary's eyes widen. "Why?"
"Don't know." He answered. " I doubt they are here to donate blood that all stopped after your son killed Azazel. " Lucifer chuckled. Mary glares at him. Lucifer's face turns serious as he looks at the hospital. "On a serious note I doubt it's anything good they must be here for Dean. A weak, vulnerable Winchester in hospital this is the perfect chance to attack."
"We gotta get in there now!"
"Slow down." Lucifer raises his hands. "We can't just go in guns blazing we need a plan."
Mary wanted to argue but she knew deep down Lucifer is right they needed a plan.
I can't believe I just agreed with Lucifer. Mary thought with horror.
"How many are in there?"
"A few." Lucifer replied.
"Would they listen to you?"
"It depends." Lucifer shrugged. "Some follow me some don't." He then shrugs. "I guess we are about to find out."
Lucifer walks in front with Mary following behind. They go through the double doors and head towards the reception desk. The receptionist sat at the desk with a bored expression. Lucifer leans on the desk and clears his throat. The receptionist sits up straight.
"Yes? How can I help you?"
"Hello Moria."
Moira's eyes widen with realization.
"Lucifer!" She quickly gets to her feet nearly knocking the chair in the process. A doctor frowns at her as he goes past. Moira gives him a quick smile before returning her attention back to Lucifer. "You're...You're here!" The demon looks over the Devil's shoulder. She saw Mary behind him. Moira's lips form into a snarl. "Why is she here?"
"I should be asking you the same question." Lucifer raises his eyebrow. "Why are you here?" Moira is about to open her mouth. "Don't give me crap." Lucifer warned. "I know you are not the only one here. If I sense you are lying there will be serious consequences."
"I was just following orders." Moira quickly said her voice full of fear.
"Who's orders?"
"Maddox."
"Maddox?"
"Yeah." Moira nods. "Him."
"What is the order?" Mary asks.
Moira hesitated.
"It's okay you can say it in front of her." Lucifer says.
"Umm."
Lucifer rolls his eyes.
"Just spit it out I haven't got all day!"
"He ordered me and a few others to guard the hospital." Moira answered. "Keep an eye out for Sam Winchester, the angel and your son...Jack. Maddox didn't want any interruptions."
"What is Maddox trying to do?" Mary asks. When Moira didn't answer Mary slams her hands down on the desk. "Tell me!" She demanded.
"He is here to kill Dean."
Lucifer sighs. He had a feeling that was the reason.
"Where is he?" Mary asks.
"Um..."
"Where the Hell is he?" Mary asks anger rising in her voice.
Moira turns and types on the computer.
"He was brought in as a John Doe." The demon muttered to herself as she typed. "Ah! He is on the fourth floor."
"Excuse me." Mary pushes past people and heads straight to the elevator. The door opens and a group of people walk in. The door goes to close. Mary puts her hand out and stops it. "Sorry."
She steps in and the door closes behind her.
Lucifer sighs as he watched the door close.
"Great." He looks at the demon and shakes his head. "She never stays put." Moira didn't know how to answer that. "Now you." Lucifer points at her. "You and the others are going back to Hell now."
"What about Maddox?"
"I will deal with him. If I see another demon in this building I will not hesitate to kill them." He smiles. "I suggest you better spread the word. Now go!"
"Yes sir. Right away sir."
Lucifer watched as Moira walks into the restroom. He smiles as he felt her presence leave the building.
Hopefully the others will follow. He thought.
He cranes his neck up and looks at the ceiling.
"To the fourth floor it is."
He slips into the restroom. When he saw the close is clear Lucifer vanishes and seconds later he appears on the fourth floor.
Elsewhere the elevator reaches the third floor. The door opens and a group of people come out. Mary waits impatiently. She folds her arms and huffs a sigh. A security guard steps in. He presses a button and the door closes. The security guard hums to himself. He glances at Mary and gives her a small smile.
Mary smiles but it didn't reach her eyes. She was too worried about her son. After a while the huntress let out another sigh.
I should have taken the stairs.
Mary's eyes go on the security guard. She had a feeling something wasn't right. Her hunter instincts started screaming as the security guard's hand goes on the emergency stop button. Mary reaches out and grabs the security guard by the arm. He spins round and his eyes turn black. He suddenly shoves the huntress of him.
Mary hits the wall and falls on the ground. The demon presses the button and the elevator suddenly comes to an abrupt halt. Mary gets to her feet and glares at the demon.
"Mary Winchester." The demon smirked. "It's an honor."
He raises his fists and his smirk turns into a grin.
"I'm gonna enjoy this."
I had to split this chapter because life has been hectic and I'm currently doing an online course so I don't have much time to write I didn't want to keep you all waiting so I decided to post. Next chapter should be next week. :)
