Ch.8

The sun was the first thing that woke up Mark. He discovered that there was a blanket around him. The second thing was that Jack was getting his attention.

"Good morning, Jack. How are you feeling?"

"A little dizzy but that's okay. What am I doing back here?"

"Apparently, some nurses and I discovered you after your patient, Elizabeth, pushed the red button. I want a straight answer, Jack. What were you doing in Elizabeth's room? You were hurt and you were suppose to stay in bed!" Mark exclaimed.

"I know. I know. I just walked to her room because I like her. Except when I got to her room, I saw a man hovering over her while she was sleeping. I walked up to him, recognized him and I also tried to get the syringe out of his hand. Instead he injected me with it."

"Who was the man?"

It was the same man who asked about Elizabeth a few days ago. He creep me out when I was talking to him about Elizabeth."

"Do you know what he injected you with?"

"Well, he told me that it would make me dizzy, lose consciousness, and end up in cardiac arrest. I did all that, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did."

"Okay but I'll be fine, right?" Jack asked.

"Sure but unfortunately you get to be in the hospital longer."

"Great."

"Tomorrow, I'll check you out if everything looks fine. Do you know anything about the guy that was looking for Elizabeth?"

"Okay. Well, about that guy…. I know nothing about him."

"That doesn't help us much."

"Sorry."

"Its okay."

"Actually, there was a nurse that paged me about the guy. Maybe they remembered something."

"Okay, who was the nurse that was on duty?"

"Nurse Dorothy."

"I'll be right back," Mark said as he exited the room, " and don't go anywhere."

"I won't."

Mark left and less than ten minutes later, he returned to Jack's room.

"That was quick. Find out anything?"

"Yes. The guy introduced himself to Nurse Dorothy. His name is John Clader."

"Never heard of him."

Me neither until I called Steve and I told him everything. He searched the guy up and found some interesting things. He's an escape convict that escaped a mental hospital. He's insane. The police tried finding him but they were unsuccessful."
