Past Secrets

Chapter 17 - Agent

Shadow's POV

"Clear!"

"Damn it! Try it again!"

"Clear!"

"Sir its not working!"

"I don't want to hear your excuses! Do it again!"

"Yes sir!"

"Clear!"

"Fuck!"

"Sir the body's been cold for around ten minutes. I'm sorry sir, but we may be too late."

"Ahhh….ahhhhh…ahhhh…" I slowly awakened. I was weak and cold, really cold. I looked around slowly blinking my eyes. I saw three paramedics with their heads down. I felt my points between life and death slowly colliding against each other every time I took a faint breath. The men sat in silence, I hope they did not declare me dead yet. I slowly lifted my right hand and brushed it against the paramedic's back who was facing away from me at the time. The man jumped and looked at me with excitement.

"Shadow!" Yelled the paramedics.

"Please…do…something….please…" I pleaded.

"Come on, help him men!" Yelled the medic.

The men stood up fast and rushed the stretcher I was laying on. I slowly began to drift away.

"Stay with me Shadow!" Yelled one of the paramedic's.

"Quick; get him stabilized we can't lose him again!" Yelled the one medic. I'm guessing this was their boss.

The one medic held my arm, while the second man put a needle in it. It pinched but I don't care I just want to live. They were trying to keep me alive using blood packs. It was working but they did not have the blood needed to keep me alive for long. Thank god the ambulance we were in came to a stop at the local North End Hospital.

"Sir were here." Said the one medic.

"Alright, get Shadow prepared for extraction. We have a long flight to White acropolis so make sure there's enough blood to keep him alive during the trip." Said the main medic.

"What….?" I asked faintly.

The main medic came to my side and took my hand.

"Shhhh…. Shadow. Its ok just sleep…." Whispered the medic.

The medic put this breather on my face and I slowly breathed in the gas that made me pass out.

4 Hours later 6:00 pm

I woke up next to the same medics who cared for me in the ambulance. I was restrained in the stretcher still. I looked at the main paramedic and he was talking to his workers.

"Alright ladies, I hope you enjoyed the flight but now we get back to work. Get Shadow ready for " Operation Decisive." Said the medic.

I was so confused on what they were talking about, "Operation Decisive?" what the hell are they talking about? I asked myself.

The medics came to my side and readied the stretcher. One medic held the stretcher while the other held the IV with the blood pack on it. The man who was calling the shots approached me and noticed I was awake.

"It's ok Shadow. Your home now. Everything will be alright. We are going to help you. I promise." Said the man.

I gave him a soft smile and noticed as he turned to get the ramp to the helicopter down, he was wearing a small badge on his belt. The badge had a skull with crossbones on it and it said "Agent Paul." I began to struggle against them but the agent held me down as the ramp lowered.

"Shhh… calm down Shadow. Its ok, we are only trying to help you." Said the agent.

I was trapped with nowhere to go but I still tried to break free, but I was still to weak to do anything against the restraints. The ramp lowered and I was rushed out of the helicopter into this big building. It was weird, this place felt familiar as if I had been here before. The second I was rushed into the building I learned I was a very important Hedgehog. Around six doctors rushed besides me doing examines, as about ten nurses followed from behind. I could make out a sign on a door we past through and it read "ER." I was being rushed to the emergency room. The whole time we going through all this; I was waiting to see the him.

The doctors took me off the stretcher and put me on a operating table. They began to take off my jacket and tee so they would not get in the way of what they had to do. The doctors got on their scrubs and ganged around the table I was on. The weird thing is; as I was dieing on this table, they wouldn't do anything. It was as if they were waiting for someone. Then I found out who. He came in through the only door in the room and took his stand behind my head. He looked at me as I stared at him.

"Alright Shadow, you just relax and let us help you ok?" He asked me.

I looked at him and I knew I could not trust him, but I didn't want to die. I could only nodded my head to let him know I was ready.

"Alright here we go Shadow. I need to knock you out for the operation to start. Are you positive your ready?" He asked me.

I took one last look at him and then thought about my friends. They think I'm dead. If Amy found out about what had happened, I could only imagine how upset she is. I know we had that argument, but I could tell she still cared about me. I hope I will have the chance to see her again. Her and everyone. I promise Amy I will not die. I promise I will be back home to have you in my arms once again. I love you Amy. I said to myself.

After that final thought I nodded my head once again and the doctors gave me a shot of morphine to knock me unconscious. I past out as soon as I saw him grab his scalpel. All I can do now is sleep and pray I might open my eyes once again. I just pray I don't see him if they ever open.
