"How about you show me how to do it and then I'll do the other two. You can leave after you show me how to take the blood and tissue from them if that's the extent of the duties with them." She said, mentally counting to ten so she didn't slug the blond intern. She wanted to ask about the bruises on all three of the men's arms but she figured if she waited long enough she would get her answer without asking.
"Fiiiine." Jack blew out an exasperated breath before moving back to Seth's side. He showed Jayse what buttons to press to activate the head restraint and then pressed another one that had the mattress moving out from under Seth's body so he was now suspended, and the base of the bed looked like a bathtub. His body was now held up by two metal bars, one under his shoulders and one under his thighs, his head supported by the metal restraint around his forehead, along with the restraints around his wrists and ankles. There was a metal chain attached to his collar that ran into the wall and she wondered about it but didn't say anything.
The tub looked to be fully equipped, the faucet that Jack had used to fill the bowl actually a shower head that had a hose long enough to reach every part of the mans body. Jack picked up the shower head, turning one of the taps and a stream of water came out of the instrument as he moved it over Seth's upper body, not even bothering to shield the man's nose and mouth from the water as he held it over his head. Jayse watched goose bumps rise on Seth's flesh and she grit her teeth again, her hands curling into fists at her side.
"Mind if I try? I'm better at learning things by doing instead of watching." She grit out and took the hose from Jack when he shrugged and handed it to her.
"If you're going to wash his hair or brush his teeth you need to gag him or he'll bite you. Goes for all of them." Jack said pulling a circular metal gag out of the cabinet along with what looked like a tazer. "If he doesn't open his mouth just hit him with this until he does. It's like an industrial strength cattle prod." Jack said and pressed the machine into Seth's hip, making the man yelp in pain, the sound reminiscent of the animal he was mixed with and then snarl, opening his mouth so Jack could fit the gag inside, behind his teeth and buckle it around his head, the buckle on the side of his head just under his ear. It effectively kept his mouth wide open so he wouldn't be able to bite. Jayse watched as Jack picked the machine up again and pressed it into the exact same spot on Seth's hip a second time before holding it up in front of the mans face and laughing at the fact that both Roman and Dean were becoming agitated, snarling, hissing and growling at him when Seth whimpered.
"I'm pretty sure there's no need for that. " Jayse growled putting her hand gently over the spot Jack was going for once again, when he lowered the machine to Seth's hip once more, feeling his body tense under her hand.
"Ehh ruin my fun. The other two beasts don't much like it when I pick on this one so it's kind of a three for one deal." Jack laughed putting the prod away in the cabinet as Jayse picked up the shower head again.
"Shampoo? Soap?" Jayse asked and adjusted the water temperature from the fridged spray that Jack had used on Seth's body into a warm one, and ran it over Seth's body to warm him from what the other intern had done while Jack got the items she asked from the cabinet right next to the bed. A lot of work her ass. She let her gaze travel down the man's body, resting on the briefs wondering when the last time the idiot intern had changed them was. The smell that was coming off the three men and permeating the room wasn't something you could miss.
"And are there more of those that I can put on him?" She asked gesturing to the briefs before taking the soap and shampoo and nearly dropping both when her brain registered that she would have to take those off his body in order to bath him and put clean ones on him. Every day. To all three of them. And then there was the fact that Hunter had said something about semen samples.
"Yeah in here. Along with bed sheets and towels. All the locks and all the buttons on the remotes for the bed are activated by fingerprint scanners." Jack said pointing at the cabinet again as if knowing her next question was going to be about the filthy bedding Seth had been laying in.
"I'll bathe them all later." Jayse said swallowing hard, and turned the taps off setting the shower head back where it belonged, grabbing a towel and patting Seth's skin dry quickly.
"Just show me where the supplies for the blood and tissue samples are and how you collect them and I'll finish up after you leave."
"Fine by me." Jack said showing her the button that slid the mattress back under Seth's body before turning and going to the work bench in the far corner of the room.
"They want blood and tissue from all of them every day." He said taking down three syringes, some cotton balls and three swabs, carrying them to the cart in the middle of the room and setting them down before picking up one of each and moving back to Seth's bedside.
"We'll keep using this one as a guinea pig." Jack said uncapping the needle and jabbing it into Seth's bicep hard. "Well shit I missed." He snickered at the pained grunt form the man bound to the bed before yanking the needle out and jabbing it into Seth's arm again.
"Mind if I try? Are there any gloves?" Jayse grit out holding her hand out when Jack pulled the needle from Seth's skin a second time after, surprise of surprises, missing a vein again. Now she knew what the bruises on their arms came from.
"Sure whatever. And no they can't transmit human diseases and anything they do come down with will be induced and you'll be vaccinated against it so theres no need." Jack said dropping the needle and a cotton ball into Jayse's hand and stepping out of her way.
Jayse sighed and stepped closer to Seth's side, her eyes connecting with his and she frowned at the utter hatred that he was staring at her with. She shook her head, and placed her free hand on his bicep and raised the needle, frowning when his muscles tensed.
"It will hurt less if you relax." She murmured, sighing again when his muscle stayed tense, and eased the tip of the needle into the vein near his elbow, quickly drawing his blood, pressing a piece of cotton to the entry point as she drew the needle out gently. She watched surprise flicker in Seth's eyes when she didn't jab him with the needle or yank it viciously from his arm the way Jack had, and she wondered just what all these men had endured, and for how long.
"How long have you been working here?" She asked as she capped the filled syringe, and picked up the swab before Jack could. "And how do you get their tissue samples?"
"I been here about three months. I can't stand these animals and the pay isn't enough for what I had to do with them every day." Jack said motioning Jayse over to the bedside once more. "You need to swab their cheeks, or their throat."
"What are these red lines on the floor? And what are the weights for?" Jayse asked wondering about the red lines on the floor arcing about ten feet away from the bed and the weights that had been chained to the wall within the arc, as she stepped up to Seth's side once again and gently stroked the swab along the inside of his cheek before putting it in its sterile tube, shaking her head again when he looked surprised that she hadn't tortured him. She reached up to the side of his head and unbuckled the gag that Jack had put into Seth's mouth, fighting with it because it was so tight and frowning when she saw how red the corners of his mouth were when she finally got it off.
"That's the danger zone if you want to let them out of the beds. Don't forget to restrain their heads or gag them when you're taking samples, they can and will bite you. The weights are for them to use if you let them out of bed." Jack said moving toward Dean's bed and Jayse grabbed another needle off the cart and jerked it up in the air like she was going to stab him while glaring into the back of his head.
"What do you mean exactly?" She asked her voice dripping with sweetness and she stepped up to Dean's bedside, frowning when he hissed at her immediately. She sighed and pressed the button that brought down the head restraint and waited until it had rendered his head immobile.
"I let them out twice a day so they can go to the bathroom. You can let them out as much as you want. When they are released stay away from the red lines on the floor, that's the range they can reach you at." Jack said moving toward the door and pointing at a button there.
"The chains on the wall behind their beds are locked to their collars. If you push this button it unlocks their restraints and lets slack out in the chains. Push it again to get them back into their beds, the chain will tighten until they get back in their beds and activate the locks on the cuffs. There is a manual lock on the chains to the big one you'll want to tighten, the cut off isn't tight enough. I need to talk to Randy and Hunter fast will you be ok?" Jack asked laughing when the three men snarled and hissed at the mention of the scientists' names.
"Pretty sure I can manage." Jayse said gripping the needle in her hand and turned to wave to Jack unaware that Dean was watching it warily, his unease growing with each minute it was near him.
"Ok see ya. Good luck with these beasts." Jack said ducking out of the room, and Jayse barely refrained from throwing the needle at the door as hard as she could.
"Jackass." She muttered turning back to the man in the bed in front of her, frowning at the hatred in his eyes. "I don't know what you've been through in the past but I promise you I'm not like him." She sighed and gently slid the tip of the needle into the vein at Dean's elbow on the arm that wasn't full of bruises and drew his blood, almost growling herself at the shocked expression on his face.
"I really don't want to gag you." She murmured, picking up the swab and moving to open the cabinet and pull open the drawer that held the gag and tazer near his bed but stopped when he opened his mouth. She looked at him for a minute thinking that the hatred in his eyes lessened just slightly before closing the drawer and gently swabbing his cheek, putting it into its case.
"Thanks." She mumbled, hitting the release button on Dean's head restraint before heading over to Roman's bed. She sighed, eyeing his fangs warily when he snarled at her approach, and actually pulled against his restraints in an effort to bite her as she pushed the button for his head restraint, before going to get the last needle and swab. She drew his blood gently and held the swab up for him to see it.
"Roman I'm not like Jack, I don't want to gag you, would you please open your mouth?" She asked and then sighed when he bared his teeth and growled at her again. Left with no choice she went to the cabinet by his bed and took the gag and prod out of the drawer and came back over to him.
"Last chance." Jayse said raising the swab again and shook her head when he snarled and snapped at her. "Ok open your mouth or I'll go use this on him." She said holding up the prod and pointing at Seth, causing both men to growl at her but Roman opened his mouth almost instantly at her threat of harming the wolf, which was what she wanted and was glad that he hadn't called her bluff. She gently swabbed his cheek, her lips pressed into a thin line at the hatred he was watching her with and slid the sample into its plastic holder.
She took the samples over to the cart and labeled them all putting them in a case to take up to Hunter and Randy when she saw Dean shifting uncomfortably on the bed. She watched him for a few minutes before realizing that he was shifting because he needed to use the bathroom. She grabbed the samples and went by the door, pushing the button Jack had told her about, and watched as the restraints released and all three men stood up gingerly.
Jaysin inhaled sharply at the sores on the back of their bodies before turning to knock on the door of the room, knowing Show or Mark would answer.
"Can they be left alone while they are up? I need to talk to…them." She asked Mark when he pulled the door open a crack.
"Yeah they can be left alone for a bit they can't get into trouble in there no matter how hard they try. And believe me they have tried." The large man chuckled out stepping back so Jayse could squeeze out of the crack in the door.
"Thanks Mark." She said climbing the steps to the lab quickly. She would come back and bathe the men once she asked some more questions and dropped off the samples.
Jayse jogged up the steps, the plastic box containing the samples she had taken from the hybrids in her hands and she seriously thought about beaning Jack with it if she saw him in the lab. She hit the door at the top of the steps and pushed on it, frowning when it didn't budge. She yelped when a huge hand swiped an I.D. card in the reader beside the door and the locked hissed.
"Damnit Mark you scared the crap out of me." She laughed nervously as the large man smiled down at her.
"Sorry honey, I figured you didn't have a card yet so I would follow you." Mark said patting her on the head before pushing the door open for her.
"Thank you." She chirped ducking though the door before he let it close and she found Randy and Hunter talking to Jack near their desks.
"Ahh Jayse you got all the samples?" Hunter asked taking the case from her and opening it smiling at the content.
"Yes sir, blood and tissue from each of them." She said nodding to the case.
"Good good. I need a semen sample from Roman for one of our investors, so Jack can show you how to do that before he goes." Randy said turning back to the computer he was working at after taking the vials from Hunter.
