Guilty Revelations

Episode 2

Notre Dane Hospital, Central Paris.

It was busy as ever as nurses and doctors were rushing around the place and patients with all sorts of diseases and injuries waiting at the waiting area.

A busy Faust was screaming on the top of his voice, directing several other doctors and nurses in the operations room.

****

Sol and Ky were sitting at the waiting room. There happens to be only one bench in the waiting area, which was occupied by Sol and Ky. Sol had a arm, leg and part of his cheeks and chin was wrapped up in bandages. Half of Ky's face was wrapped up in bandages, and he could only breathe through his mouth. Ky could nearly be classified as a mummy if most of his mouth was covered. He had a broken arm too, and the body was mainly damaged, but he was cushioned by Sol afterall.

"Heh ... why did you drag me into this?" asked Sol.

"It's your luck," Ky replied.

"Don't believe this ... out of all the people that was there, I was the one who cushion your fall. You didn't have to spread your bad luck to ME!"

"Name?" asked Sol.

"Huh?"

"I said, what's your name!?!" repeated Sol.

"Oh right ... Ky ... you?"

"heh ... Sol. On that subject, why the hell did you have to land on me?"

" .... Sorry"

"Why couldn't YOU find other ways to kill yourself?"

"Other ... ways?"

"Yeh! I've seen you tried to jump off a building several times! Try something else! Like throwing yourself in front of a truck or a train, stabbing something into the holes of a electric plug socket, get aids from hookers on the street!"

"I've tried all of them ... "

"Huh?"

"The first time I tried, I spent the whole evening and night on top of a skyscraper, trying to make a fire so I could throw myself into it. But the fire wouldn't start, the wind kept blowing it off. By midnight, I got tired and fell asleep."

"Then try drinking bleach, washing up liquid or something, cut your wrists!!!" Sol shouted back in anger.

"Oh, I've tried the most unimaginable," Ky murmured back. "I just won't die ... "

"Look at ME! I'm jobless, I wander around on the streets, picking up fights, and walking around aimlessly. Yet I'm not eligible for income support ... "

"I'm nearly the same as you ... "

At this point, Ky and Sol both laughed at each other. Sol moaned in pain a bit. Ky got restless.

"HEY, we've been waiting for SO long. Where the hell are the doctors? We're dying!!!" moaned Ky.

"Yeh!!! Lets go and kick the door down and cause a riot! I'm sick of waiting!" Sol continued after Ky.

"Hey!! We're dying too you know, you're not the only one waiting!!!" a voice shouted.

"Yeh! You even got the bench to sit on too!!!" Another voiced followed.

"Wanna FIGHT?! A last voice said.

Ky and Sol looked to the left, where the voice was coming from. 4 men stood there, 1 with crouches and a bandage around his head, another standing on one leg with the other broke and had a sling on the arm, the 3rd man had bruises on his and a patched eye while the last man had a bleeding head and nose.

"Oh ........ just checking " Ky was speechless.

"...... sorry" said Sol in a quiet tone.

"We heard that there was a singer, who fell off a stage and has hurt is genitals and now all the nurses has wander off in the operations department to check him out ... ! said the 1st man.

"Hmmm ... looks like no one would come care for us." said Ky.

"You think so?" replied Sol.

"Yeh, lets go take a taxi down to another town. We'll see some other doctors instead."

"NO!!!" shouted Sol. Sol stood up. "I WANNA COMPLAIN!!!"

"Yeh!! US TOO!" all 4 men shouted.

"Where the fuck are all the doctors around here?!!!" shouted one of the men.

"Yeh!! We've waited SO long, there isn't even seats!!!"

"Lets beat the shit out of all the doctors here, and rape the nurses, then burn the hospital down!!!!"

The noise started growing, more and more shouting was made.

"Gee ... maybe we should've kept quiet", said Ky.

"Yeh, I feel very guilty now ... ", replied Sol.

Behind all of the men, a door got opened. Out came a nurse. She turned her head to the side to look at the shouting men.

"Could you lot keep it down, please?" the nurse said. With that, she walked pass the 4 men and towards Ky and Sol.

Everyone looked at her.

"Whoa ... " one of the men said.

"Wow!!!" another voice followed.

"Oh my ... " came the last voice.

(Wow ... with her beautiful voice and looks, she tamed all the men down instantly!) thought Ky.

"You 2 must be Sol and Ky", said the nurse. "You 2 are next on my list, so why don't you 2 come through and we'll set you up? You 4 wait outside here, it'll be your turn next".

Ky was speechless, but he got up anyway. Sol followed and they both walked into the operations room. The other 4 men sat on the bench and waited, quietly.

Under the moonlight, another lot of gamblers were having a round of cards. 4 people were sitting around a table.

"Come on Alucard ... ", a voice said. "You don't have to take 40 minutes per turn ... "

"Be patient, Brother 9 ... ", a voice returned, which belonged to Alucard.

Alucard is a man who gambled all his life, and a rather professional one too. Lots of people work under him and he owns a lot of gambling parlors and clubs around France. Brother 9 is owns the 2nd most portion of gambling shares next to Alucard. But due to Brother 9's jealousy, he is determined to defeat Alucard so he could take over the gambling business over France. Brother 9 is Alucard's oldest brother.

Brother 9 grins as he slams 2 cards on the table.

Alucard picks up a card from the deck of spare cards on the table.

"You know, lately, your business has been going down ... ", Alucard said, in a soft voice. "Ever since you started that silly loaning firm, look at all the bets you lost?!" Alucard looks at his card, then slams 3 of his cards altogether onto the table. "3 Aces, that's 18 times you lost to ME!"

"I know I know ... ", Brother 9 replied. "You're having a lot of good luck right now, and I am losing, but is there need to take it THIS far?! I am your brother after all! How DARE you lecture me like this?"

The other 2 men picked up their cards and had a shuffle, then placed their card of choice onto the table.

"Brother? So what?" questioned Alucard firmly. "You'll be left out in the end at this rate!" Alucard had a glare of confidence over Brother 9.

Brother 9 looked around. Seeing as there seems to be no way out, he rolled his eyes.

"Ok, how about we co-operate?! Lets split everything in half, what we earn!!" Brother 9 declared.

"Half? No way, I'll be the one in disadvantage at this rate", replied Alucard. Alucard shook his head. "Whoever you worked with died poorly, and if not dead, missing and later found with body parts missing, either in the river or sewers, and in the sea."

Brother 9 then looked frustrated. He nodded and then picked up his deck of cards.

"ONE MORE GAME!!!" he shouted. Alucard shrugged and nodded. Alucard picked up his deck of cards, gave a slight chuckle and a grin of victory was on his face already.

"(What is that kid up to now?!)" thought Brother 9.

Alucard slammed 5 cards on the table. "Double Clearance!" The 5 cards were 2 kings, 2 queens and an Ace of Spades.

"WHAT?!!!" shouted Brother 9 in horror. "Ok you're good! Are you going to co-operate with me or NOT?!"

"Hmm, let me think ..." Alucard crossed his hands and closed his eyes.

"With you losing $9583000 to me and co-operating with you means that I have to give up half of my earnings? No! But! I'll let you surrender!" Alucard smiled when he said "surrender".

"Surrender my ass!!!" Brother 9 shouted. With that, he decided to attack Alucard.

Brother 9 picked up a lot of dice and gambling material and threw them all at Alucard. Surprised, Alucard fell backwards off his chair, but he kicked the table with a lot of force when he fell back, and Brother 9, who stood up when he threw the equipment at Alucard, got pushed back onto the floor due to the extreme force Alucard used to kick the table with.

Alucard got up, and then the other 2 men that were playing as well, who happened to be Brother 9's companions, got up too. Alucard picked up an apple from the table and threw it at one of the men.

"Eat the apple!!!" Alucard shouted.

"Huh?!" Man #1 said. Man #1 caught the apple, but just as he did, Alucard punched him on the face and then tripped him over. He then spun around and kicked Man #2 who fell backwards. Brother 9 got up, pulled out a knife and ran over to Alucard. Alucard picked the apple back up.

Brother 9 proceeded to assault Alucard with the knife. But Alucard's fast reflexes allowed him point the apple at where Brother 9 intended to stab. With that, the knife dugged itself into the apple and was stuck. Surprised, Brother 9 couldn't let go as he thought he could pull the knife back out. Alucard drove his knee into Brother 9's chin and then gave him an overhead smash on the head. Brother 9 fell on the floor, stunned. Man #1 got back up and Alucard quickly pulled out the knife from the apple and threw it at him, which hit his chest. He fell on the floor, with blood spurting out and fainted on the floor. Man #2 then got up as well and ran over to Alucard. As he approached, he jumped and tried to do a roundhouse kick, but Alucard ducked and avoided the attack. Alucard then counter attacked by punching Man #2 in the face a few times and decided to knock him out but kicking him straight in the face. Man #2 fell on the floor, wounded. All this time, Brother 9, who recovered from the blow he recieved, was crouching and spectating behind a chair.

Alucard, looked around and spotted his brother. Brother 9, knowing this, threw his chair at Alucard. Alucard stepped aside and the chair breezed past him. Brother 9, ran towards his brother. Alucard grabbed him by the shirt then threw him on the table, and then done a knee drop on Brother 9's belly. Brother 9 moaned in pain and coughed out a bit of blood. Alucard's left leg was resting on Brother 9's belly.

"Now, are you gonna pay? Or do you want to play some more?!" Alucard demanded.

Brother 9 spluttered a bit. "I'll ... PLAY!!!" He roared. Frustrated, Alucard pushed his leg on the stomach a bit firmer. "Well?"

"I'll pay, I'll pay!!!!" Brother 9 screamed. Alucard let go, and Brother 9 fell on the floor, gasping for breath.

"Write a cheque, and SIGN it!" Alucard demanded. Brother 9 got up and pulled out his cheque book from his inner pockets. While signing, he was still coughing and his face showed a lot of pain.

"Here!" Brother 9 exlaimed. "You're cheque!" Brother 9 ripped it out and handed it to Alucard. Alucard snatched it off him.

"Gambling has its meaning too! You know?!!" Alucard shouted back at him in reply.

"Ok Ok !!! " Splutted Brother 9. "Don't hit me, don't hit me!!"

Alucard then put the cheque in his pocket, picked up the apple and took a bit out of it. With that, he walked off.

The very same nurse that served Ky and Sol was putting Ky on the bed, making him comfortable. Ky gazed at her with loving eyes, all this time wondering about her. Sol was behind the curtains, who was already in bed.

"I would like to thank you ... for all of the help you have given us", began Ky.

"Ah, that's no problem", replied the nurse. "This is my job afterall. I have to go off now!"

"WAIT!" said Ky. "Can you stay a little more? When I see you, I don't feel as much pain ... "

"There are several other people that needs caring though," Millia shot back nicely.

"But, if you stay, I feel a lot better!"

"Ridiculous! I'll be back!"

"What if you don't come back?"

"Well, you can remember my name!"

"What is it?"

"Millia"

Millia pointed at her name badge.

"So, if you want to make a complaint, just remember my name!"

"Millia ..... " Ky whispered.

"Ok? I'll be off now, the doctor will come to do another checkup on you soon."

"WAIT!" Ky suddenly said.

"What is it now?"

"I still want to make a complaint ... give me your number?" Ky continued.

"Er, you can have the number to the department that I belong in" smiled Millia. "The department number is 0904385921."

"No, that's not ... your number" Ky replied. "I want your ... mobile number!"

"OH ... how sweet", replied Millia.

"May I have ... your number then?" Ky asked.

"Here ... give me your hand" Millia said.

Millia pulled out a pen out of her shirt pocket and wrote on Ky's hand "0X9X5X7X1X"

"If you can get through, I'll think about dating you!" said Millia with a smile.

"Thank ... you!!!" Ky said, and smiled back.

"I've got to go now ... get well soon!"

"Ok, thanks for the help!" Ky replied. He waved her goodbye.

Millia grabbed her clipboard and held it to her chest and walked out. Her face was beaming with a smile. She closed the door behind door.

Suddenly, a grinning Sol got out of bed and went up to Ky. Sol put his hand on Ky's shoulder, which made him jump.

"Hey mate ... " Sol began. "Instead of being so negative, why not think more positive?"

"Huh?" Ky shot back. He was still amazed and stunned.

"You know, maybe you'll get better luck if you think postive, like what happened just then!"

"Oh, you heard it all ... what do you think?"

"Go for it mate ... there's no ring on her hand, single or not, it doesn't hurt to try, what's the worst that could happen afterall?"

"Yeh, you're right. I guess I will just need to figure out this number ..... "

Ky stared at the "0X9X5X7X1X" written on his hand.

"You'll need to try at least a million times in order to get through ... " Sol said.

"So?!" exclaimed Ky. "One in a million, is still a chance!"

"You think so?"

"YES!!"
