It was green. HIS BLOOD WAS GREEN! The nurse didnÕt know what to do first. Her mind couldnÕt register this. What did this mean? When her mind unfrozeÉ she screamed.
ÒAAHHHHHHHH!!!Ó she screamed as she backed up against the wall in fear. Doctor Coy came over. The nurse nearly dropped the syringe.
In the next room, Cooper and Ellis froze when they heard the blood curdling scream from the room over.
Coy quickly looked at it and didnÕt know what to do. He had never seen anything like this in all of his years.
ÒWhy is his blood GREEN!?Ó he yelled at himself. ÒDid the poisoning do this?Ó he questioned as Cooper and Ellis rushed in. They saw the syringe that Coy held up.
ÒWhat theÉ.Ó Said Cooper.
ÒIs that what the poison did!?Ó asked Ellis. Coy shook his head.
ÒIt canÕt be. You didnÕt find anything like this with the OTHER patientÉ did you?Ó he asked as he looked to the other room. Doctors Cooper and Ellis were in shock.
ÒHuh?Ó said Cooper. He was just stunned, and tried to comprehend it all.
ÒTHE OTHER PATIENT!?Ó asked Coy.
ÒNo-noÉ the other ones fineÉ except for being poisonedÉÓ. Said Cooper. Ellis only shook her head.
ÒState the OBVIOUS!Ó she said as she stormed out to go to the lab. They needed to figure out what the hell was doing this. Doctor Coy looked around at the nurses trying to figure this all out too.
ÒAny ideaÉ AT ALLÉ where these two came from?Ó he asked Cooper. Cooper could only shake his head.
ÒNoÉ this guy carried the other one in, and then collapsed.Ó
ÒNothing about them at all?Ó
ÒThey were both wearing black suits. I would guess they were business people or something.Ó
ÒDamn! Any ID at ALL?Ó
ÒWe havenÕt had any time to checkÉÓ
ÒNever mind!Ó he said as he turned around. The man on the table wasnÕt getting any better. They didnÕt know what did this, and he couldnÕt make a decision. It could be anything. Food poisoning, snake venom, chemicals or toxins. He thought about it. DamnÉ so many possibilities. ÒCooperÉ how is the other one?Ó
ÒSheÕs managed to vomit up a lotÉ. And has begun to stabilize.Ó
ÒOkayÉ this patient isnÕt showing any sign of getting betterÉ weÕll have to pump his stomach and see if that does any good. Hopefully itÕs something that isnÕt totally in his bloodstream.Ó
ÒTHEN WHY IS HIS BLOOD GREEN?!Ó asked an exasperated Cooper. ÒIs it some RARE blood disease weÕve never heard of?!Ó
ÒOnly God knows!Ó yelled Coy. ÒAll I know is if we donÕt get this figured out HE WILL BE DEAD!Ó
ÒFINE! Pump his stomach and weÕll see if that does any good! I think youÕre rightÉ we canÕt wait for the results to come in!Ó And with that they turned and looked at the patient on the table. Little did they know that the green blood and the mysterious illness was only the start of the strangeness to come that day.
At headquarters, Jay sat reading a tabloid and drinking a cup of coffee. They sat in ZedÕs office. Agents Elle and X should have come back an hour ago. Kay thought about it. Zed was marginally worried.
ÒAnd we havenÕt heard anything from them? Do they answer any of the communicators?Ó he asked. Kay shook his head.
ÒTwins tried that. And for some reason the SUVÕs GPS is on the fritz too. They think itÕs because of the weather and the solar flares.Ó Jay looked up from his coffee and paper.
ÒMaybe theyÕre just in a traffic jam. Happens all the time, and remember, it IS the tourist season too.Ó
ÒYou may be right, but I donÕt like the looks of this!Ó said Zed.
Traffic Jam was putting it mildly. The SUV was locked up and actually in itÕs armored mode, sitting in the middle of the street. Traffic wasnÕt moving but people realized, the car was empty and parkedÉ and LOCKED in the middle of the street. It wasnÕt right and sooner or later, traffic would move and theyÕd be stuck with an SUV in the middle of a busy street.
"I don't know what's going on," Doctor Coy muttered as he passed more and more of the tubing down X's nose. "This still hasn't hit his stomach! Are you sure we measured right?"
"Tip of the nose to the earlobe and then down to the bottom of the ribcage. It should be the right size." The new nurse said. Nurse Norton wasnÕt anywhere at all. She couldnÕt handle the green blood let alone what could come from this oneÕs stomach.
"Then why isn't this hitting his stomach?" he asked. Cooper managed to come in to ask Coy something and heard that they were having troubles. Of course, he had a smart-butt comment to give for a situation like this.
ÒWell, good doctorÉÓ said Cooper. ÒEither he has an endless gut or heÕs digesting the tubing!Ó Coy looked up. He wasnÕt pleased to see Cooper there.
ÒWhat are YOU doing here? ArenÕt you watching the other patient?Ó
ÒI came over here to see if youÕve found anything out yet.Ó
ÒWE KNOW AS MUCH AS YOU! NONE!Ó he yelled. ÒAnd if we donÕt get this WORKING, this one will be gone!Ó
ÒFigures. The other patient is showing signs of stabilizing.Ó
ÒWellÉÓ said Coy. ÒThat may be more than can be said for this oneÉ I think weÕll run out of tubing first!Ó
Hours had passed and no one at HQ had heard anything from or about the missing agents. Little did they know the agents were in a hospital. In the hospitalÉ the agents fought for their lives.
Doctor Ellis came in the room. She waved some paperwork at Cooper and Coy and the nurses.
ÒWe can rule out something simple like food poisoning. Definitely not something you could pick up from undercooked food.Ó
ÒWhat IS it then!?Ó asked Coy.
ÒTry this on for sizeÉ itÕs a toxin weÕve never seen before. From the looks of itÉ itÕs not a mistake that these two were exposed to it. I think someone was trying to get rid of them and almost succeeded with it too. It causes sweating, and high blood pressure which can drop to a seriously low blood pressure at a momentÕs notice, as weÕve seen with this patientÉÓ she said, gesturing to X. He had almost died one time when his blood pressure bottomed out. He lay under a pile of blankets now with dozens of machines hooked up and tubes doing everything. Ellis continued. ÒThe other patient was lucky. IÕd say that as soon as she fell ill, she had begun to expel the toxin out of her system, because we didnÕt find nearly as much of it in her blood stream.Ó Coy shook his head at it all.
ÒHow did they get poisoned?Ó
ÒThis is the tricky part. A lot of it is in their blood stream, but IÕd say it was ingested with something, from looking at what the stomach pumping gave us. In him, we found traces of coffee groundsÉ from a terribly brewed cup of java, and someÉ. fake chocolate.Ó
ÒFake chocolate?Ó asked Cooper. ÒHow do you FAKE something like chocolate?Ó
ÒWas it the chocolate itself that did this or something else?Ó
ÒSomething else because the chocolate was as un-toxic as foods come. ItÕs like it was made to be digested by a sensitive stomach. My dog could eat his weight in this stuff and not get sick.Ó Cooper looked up.
ÒFake chocolateÉ whereÕs the fun in that?Ó
