Betrayal
"What do we do? What do we do?" Angelica moaned. "We can't go to the hospital! We just stole a car and burned down the school and I'm gonna end up in jail the rest of my life…"
"What about Dr. Gombell?" Lina asked as she drove. "He could fix your dad up!"
"Good idea," Angelica said. "He might still be in his office. He'll know what to do!" They drove to his office. "It looks like he's in. Dad can you walk?"
"Ugh…barely," Mr. Jones stirred.
"I'll go park the car somewhere," Lina told her. "Maybe if I hide it the police won't find us so fast."
"Good idea," Angelica helped her father out of the car. Then she helped him to the office while Lina drove away. "Dr. Gombell!" She pounded on the door. "Dr. Gombell!"
He appeared at the door. "Angelica what happened?" Dr. Gombell looked worried.
"My father, he's hurt," Angelica helped him inside.
"I'm okay…" Mr. Jones slurred before he passed out in a chair.
"Angelica what have you done?" Dr. Gombell asked.
"It wasn't me," Angelica said. "They found out I was a mutant and they started to attack us and my dad got in the way and…"
"And then you retaliated by setting fire to the school?" Dr. Gombell asked.
"No, not on purpose," She said. "Wait a minute, how did you…?"
"We told him," Five men dressed in black soldier outfits entered the room. "You were right doc. She did come here."
"Dr. Gombell I don't understand," Angelica asked.
"I know you don't," Dr. Gombell sighed. "I'm sorry dear, but this is for your own good. Sedate her."
"Doctor…What…?" Angelica started to say something. But something sharp pierced her shoulder. The next thing she knew everything was black.
