Chapter 5
Opening his eyes he looked up at the white ceiling of the room, it took him a few blinks to focus before he looked around. Sitting up slowly he felt a dull ache in his chest like he'd been sucking on an exhaust tube. Coughing he found his throat was also sore, swallowing painfully he pulled himself up and looked around. Before he had chance to take in his surroundings a hiss came from the automatic doors, the tapping of running feet and then his wife and children were at his bedside.
"48 hours? And they said I'm fine?" After he had gotten the full story from his wife and comforted his children he was happy to hear they all had gotten out alright. He had also heard about the team that took a trip back out there. They unfortunately weren't so lucky.
"They captured one of the creatures but 3 of the scientists that went out there came back the same way you did. The doctors aren't too worried though. They're going to see if they can surgically remove one from one of the doctors. He has a weak heart and they're frightened it can't take the stress of supporting both them.."
"His hearts failing, quickly, where going to have to pry this from him. Do you have the tube ready Nancy?" He looked around at the 5 surgeons and then back towards one of the nurses who nodded. "Yes Doctor it's ready." Smiling she nodded and watched as two doctors nodded to one another. "Is everyone wearing their rubber gloves, as we pull it away were going to shock it like the escorts did with the other one." They all confirmed and began to wrestle with the creature. Two on the tail and the other three on the fingers. The tail was the hardest to wrestle with, as the two doctors un-twined the tail from around the mans neck the other three found it easy to pull away the fingers of the beast from around the mans head.
The face-hugger struggled in their grasp, the egg tube had already made an entrance to the chest cavity, as they tugged it away the egg tube retracted with a slurp. The hole within the windpipe began to bleed and hemorrhage. The air to his lungs cut off, the bleeding began to fill them, the man began to cough and while the doctors were dealing with the creature, the man bled out and suffocated in his own blood. The monitor gave a high pitch wine as a line of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
The creature had been place in a 3ft high tube filled with preservation liquid. The other live specimen they had captured was contained beside it. All in all there were five containers. Two alive and three dead. After the incident with the operation, the doctors thought it best that they let the two attached to the other scientists drop off naturally.
