FULL CIRCLE
Chapter 25
Miles was just about ready to take a break and grab something to eat. He was tired and the revelation of what they were up against kept going around and around in his mind, making it hard for him to concentrate. He hoped a brief break and some fresh air might clear
his head. He sighed, with any luck Natalie would find a course a treatment and it would all be over. Then he could try and enjoy his few free days.
Hearing the sounds of footsteps approaching and the door open and close, Miles looked up from the chart he was making notations in. He was expecting it to be one of the aides to take over for awhile.
Instead he was shocked to see two men standing in front of him, one having a gun pointed at his head. A cold voice was saying, "Step away from the beds, Doctor."
Instead of following those instructions, Miles stood his ground in a futile and perhaps foolish attempt to protect his patients. His eyes on the man with the gun, the chart held before him like a shield, he
never saw the other man circle behind him. Then he felt something hard strike him across the back of his head. There was an explosion of pain, a feeling of falling and darkness. Nothing but darkness.
The two men, intent on their task, stepped around the unconscious figure on the floor and moved to the beds. Removing hypodermic needles from their jackets, they began systematically inserting them
into the IV lines.
