A/N: I really appreciated INMH's review. It made me type this up
not long after I read the review. I didn't want to disappoint all those
continues and a please. So, I give you chapter 5!
Dr. Dragulia had rested after his grave yard shift, and was in work the next evening. He noticed that Michelle was tending to a suicide, and he grinned. 'So, he didn't speak with her about our encounter. Smart man, she would have never believed him.'
"Dr. Dragulia," a voice came from behind Dr. Dragulia.
Dr. Dragulia spun around to see one of the medical students up in the psychiatric ward for a week. The young man before Dr. Dragulia had shaggy brown hair and royal blue eyes. Dr. Dragulia held out his hand, and the young man shook it. "You are?" Dr. Dragulia asked the student.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Cameron Michaels," the med student replied. "I'm doing psyche rotations this week."
Dr. Dragulia swore he had met Cameron before, but he knew he couldn't have. "Okay, Cameron, what is it that you have in mind to look over up here?"
Cameron's eyes lit up. "I head you have a schizophrenic that believes he is in the late 1800s. I would like to speak with him."
Dr. Dragulia shook his head. "I cannot let you see that patient."
"How come?" Cameron's expression changed dramatically to disappointed.
Dr. Dragulia sighed. "He is a patient of Dr. Englehart's patient. She seems to be having trouble with him. He's a stubborn one."
"Please, just give me five minutes to talk with this patient. Five minutes, and I will look at any other patient. I just really want to see this patient because I am interest in the old days, and I may be able to help him. I collect old time weapons and display them at museums." Cameron boasted.
Dr. Dragulia didn't see what it would hurt for Cameron to spend five minutes talking ot Gabriel. "Okay, but just five minutes. I will time you after you get inside." Dr. Dragulia led Cameron to the room that contained Gabriel. He punched in the code, and Cameron took notice to it: 061487. Dr. Dragulia didn't know that Cameron had memorized the number.
The door opened and Dr. Dragulia replied, "Five minutes. I'll be at the front desk until then."
Cameron nodded and walked inside the room. The door closed, and Dr. Dragulia walked away. Gabriel was watching Dr. Dragulia carefully since he'd learned his true identity. Gabriel looked over at the med student. "What is it that you want from me," he asked wistfully as he stared up Cameron, someone he knew he didn't know.
Cameron crossed his arms on his chest after seeing the look Gabriel was giving him. "After all the hell I went through on those missions with you, and you don't even remember me?"
Gabriel gazed up at Cameron and noticed the blue eyes were familiar, and that voice was also familiar. His brain only took a moment to process both. He jumped up in joy and shouted, "Carl!"
Cameron nodded. "Never thought I'd see you again," he added with sadness.
"Dracula's back. He's--"
"Dr. Dragulia, I know. I've been avoiding him for years now, but then you were brought in. I tried to see you while they had you in the E.R., but I didn't get to. I'm a busy med student, but I don't have time to talk about anything off the subject." Cameron said. "I've got to get you out of here. We will have to devise a plan some other time."
"How will I find you?"
"Ask for Cameron Michaels. Someone will find me." Cameron replied.
Gabriel searched Cameron's eyes and saw his eyes held the memories that he did not know. But, he had something else bothering him. "Why weren't you reincarnated into your own body. Dracula's was reincarnated in his body, I've been placed back in my body, but your body holds some other soul."
Cameron shrugged. "I suppose it was so that I could find you now and talk to you without Dr. Dragulia knowing it was me, Carl, your best friend from our previous lives."
Gabriel noticed that physically Cameron was nothing like Carl used to be. He didn't have blonde hair, and he was scrawny. Carl wasn't scrawny, he had had an average build for a guy. But Gabriel was just glad to have Carl back, and he couldn't have been happier. He was no longer alone in the psychiatric ward, and there was a hope he could get out. "It is very interesting to hear your voice from a body that is not the Carl I remember."
Cameron smiled. "Well, this body has a girlfriend--it's different than when we were last alive. I can sleep with girl anytime I want, and it is okay in this society. She even knows about my past and is fine with it. She helps me collect old keepsakes from my previous life, like my old journals."
Gabriel's face lightened. "You really are going to help me get out of here, aren't you?"
Cameron nodded. "Yes, I fear that Dr. Dragulia has something planned up his sleeve."
Gabriel said, "He told me he needed to use me to gain control again."
Cameron thought about that for a moment. He was sure that he could find out what Dr. Dragulia had planned, but it would take a little time. He knew he only had a week to figure everything out and get Gabriel free of the white prison. "I will find out what he means by gaining control somehow."
Cameron began to turn towards the door, and Gabriel asked, "Why are you leaving?"
"I promised Dr. Dragulia that I would only speak to you for five minutes. Now, my five minutes is winding down, but remember to ask for me so we can plan your escape. You have work to do or else you wouldn't be here." Cameron told him.
Gabriel nodded and let Cameron leave. Cameron nodded to Gabriel before walking out of sight. Gabriel sat down on his bed and tried to appear that he was not thrilled to have Carl back. 'I'm no longer alone,' he thought. 'Carl is here to help me figure this out. I can still get out of here.'
A/N: I don't feel this chapter was as good as last chapter, but it is a crucial chapter.
