There always low talking in the infirmary room as other doctors observe us
on our reaction on experiments, seeing if we show emotions to tell
Lydecker. I stand at the wall where Jace is, standing in an at ease stance,
eyes forward, waiting for the other to be done. I watch Max as her
examination taking longer then expected.
"Ok 452. You can go," The male doctor says writing on his clipboard.
Before Max can jump down, a nasty cough come out. He looks at her concern. A sudden fear came across my heart, beating faster as I see my sister, my favorite sister, about to get carted away, placed in another felicity to be experimented on. Something I don't want any of my brothers and sisters to experience again as other doctors do it on occasions if where disobedient. My ego of being the emotionless, perfect soldier made me not see how much I cared about my squad, as mother bears protect there young. It was a feeling that made me wonder why Zack took the blame for the dumb mistakes the squad did because of his care and love of his unit.
"Sounds like a nasty cough you got," He tells her. "How long have you been coughing like this 452?"
Max was about to tell the truth but something was holding her back. Fear. "No, I never cough like this sir." She lied. She didn't want to but couldn't bear the consequences and didn't want to be separated from her unit.
The doctor takes out a Popsicle stick. "Open your mouth please?"
Max does what been told as he puts the stick on her tongue, using a Styles Stream light pen, looking in her mouth. I felt Max fear circling me, as I wanted to say something. In my head all I could say 'Your fine. You can go. Please say that. Please.' Concentrating on those words, hard, as if my sister was about to die, the doctor looks up and suddenly looks at me as if in a hypnotic state. My eyes match his for a full 30 seconds then he return towards Max. Her confused eyes look at him.
"Your fine. You can go." Sounding as if somebody's saying the words for him.
Max doesn't second guess his demands and hop off the table, hurrying for another cough escape her mouth. The doctors around weren't paying attention except one. Dr. Grayton. She look at the male doctor then at Max and me, as if knowing what happen and one of us had to done it. I make no eye contact with her or Max when she stands next to me. Not wanting to give her any ideas to tell Lydecker about me. One thing I hate the most is letting drill instructors and Doctors report bad things about me because then he'll punish me for it. Like he does to the others.
