The heart monitor's noise started to slow down. The beats of the child's heart were coming to an end, a slow painful one. One that included something he did not wish to do, had no choice in the matter.
The beat slowed down as the baby started to cry, but slowly started to stop. He shut his eyes as everyone slowed what they were doing, and just stared. Stared.
One man spoke.
"No…no…no…no…NO!"
Lyord screamed as he awoke in the pale of the hall. He'd fallen asleep. But that was no dream. It was a nightmare. And all nightmares come from some origin; something that happened in your life and you just can't forget it. And then one day you remember it, freeze up, and have to experience again.
He'd experienced that. It was the day he tried turning a baby into a spiritualist.
He remembered it all. The heart monitor slowing down. The breathes of the baby slowing down. Lyord remembered it all. All the screams. All the tears. All the pain in both Lyord and the subject. He remembered seeing him die. Everyone slowing what they were doing.
And then it happened again.
What seemed like yesterday, it happened. Roy Rain… He remembered the tears, screams, loss of everything… He froze up, unable to do anything. The baby's metabolism had slowed down causing the nutrients that had to be given…
Even though Lyord froze up his bezerk kicked in, for that! He saved Roy. But Roy lost something, just for three minutes. His life. He died for three minutes until Lyord rescued him. All this during the operation. He couldn't bear to see another die.
Lyord leaned up against the wall for energetic support. Blood was all over his lab coat and shirt. His hands were bloody as well.
He rubbed his hand against his forehead, wiping away some of the sweat that covered him. A doctor that helped with the operation approached him. He had changed his lab coat unlike Lyord.
"Sir he is going to be fine… But are you?"
Lyord didn't answer. His head started to spin…
"Sir…sir should I prepare the infirmary room…Sir!"
Lyord fell, unconscious.
Lyord awoke about an hour after falling. He awoke just to hear the sirens go off. Red lights flashed the room.
Lyord rushed out of his bed. A doctor awaited him outside of the room, as if predicting what Lyord was going to do, always playing tough.
Lyord spoke in a shaky voice, "what the hell is going on?"
"Sir more DNA was stolen…"
"NO! Place B4 under temporary lockdown!"
"Yes sir." The demand was clear. He did as he was told.
"Who all left?" Lyord asked as they walked down the hall, red lights still flashing, no sirens but the statement, "LOCKDOWN" meant something…
"Well…let's see…" The doctor looked at a pad he was holding.
"Sacura Montoury, Nourshugawa Shoinoko, and doctor Joe N. Fevederitar."
Another doctor approached the two killing what bad words Lyord was about to say.
"Lyord, the operation is complete…"
"Thank you…"
"And sir, should I put the backpacks in one of the Russian's rooms?"
"No…dump it…"
The third doctor left.
"Back to the matter at hand…"
"Can we send some people out to stop them before reaching Pennsylvania?"
"No, it's to dangerous. The government will kill them all…" Lyord answered, not so hopeful.
"Listen," Lyord began, "just forget about them and tighten up security. I have to go check on Roy…"
"Ok… I'll be on it…"
"Good…"
Lyord entered the room where the sleeping baby was. Mrs. Alshine was sitting in a chair in the room.
"Hey…" Lyord began.
"Don't even…"
"What's wrong?"
"You are Lyord! Why do you even create this supernatural? Why…why do you put me, or anybody up for this job?"
"You know why, and you know what you have to do…"
"I know…it's just so hard, watching them grow up…"
"Don't worry…"
"How can I stop worrying? I work for the CIA…" Tears were forming in Mrs. Alshine's eyes. "I mean this child's mom was shot, his dad is a benedict Arnold, and I am just caught in the middle of things… How can I stop worrying?"
Lyord felt compassion for her, and hugged her.
"I'll be here every step of the way… no matter what… I promise."
A Few Hours Later:"Its time for you to take him home, Mrs. Alshine."
"Ok…"
"Oh, and don't worry. His eyes may be green and black now but by Thursday it should be ok. He should be back to normal."
"Ok… Thank you…"
Mrs. Alshine, Lyord, and two other doctors were standing outside. Roy was wrapped in a white cloth and in a baby basket.
Lyord began, "We have bought a permanent house for you in New York. Here are directions. And if you need me you know what to do. And never tell him." Lyord hated talking like this, keeping a secret from an innocent baby, like if you adopt one. "This is your life now. Don't feel useless to what you can do. Don't be held back. OK?"
"I know."
"Good by then…" Lyord said as they hugged one last time. Alshine hugged everyone there, received the baby and went to the private jet waiting for her.
"And cover his eyes until Thursday… Don't let anyone see…"
"Thank you… And good by…"
Alshine, or now known as Mrs. Rain, walked silently into the jet.
"GOOD BY" The jet disappeared off in the distant part of the blue sky…
A couple of guards stood on the plane, loaded with machine guns around the chest. Another man stood next to Rain and introduced himself.
"Hi…" A simple word to start out with, "I am Shon." He reached his hand out to shake hers, but when he got close enough she could see one eye was yellow and the other was red. She shook his hand.
"Sorry if I scared you but everyone aboard this aircraft is a spiritualist." She looked into everyone's eyes all were spiritualists, but the one person she did not look at was the pilot, who was busy driving. But that was convincing enough to her.
"Hi I am Mrs. Rain." It felt different saying Rain instead in Alshine. "Good to meet you."
After that it was all silence. A couple of conversations here and there but nothing more. The guards didn't talk at all…
For some reason the plane didn't move like an ordinary jet. No. Not the same speeds. This jet was going much slower. Not getting anywhere at all. It felt like since lift off they hadn't gone anywhere. What was wrong? Rain decided not to say anything because of some reasons like it might be offensive. Although she did want to find out what was wrong, but she let her shy side take the best of her. She ignored the situation and glanced at the directions Lyord gave her. They were for when she landed at the airport and to get to her house from there. "Ok" She said to herself.
After having nothing to do she fell asleep as the plane drifted toward the destination. When Rain awoke she glanced around. Everyone was asleep, including the guards.
She than glanced at her watch. IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS! Using a jet, it couldn't possibly take that long! And she knew this was a jet! What was happening?
