The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 84 - Eighty - Four : Mission Impossible 3

"But a doctor just checked on me hours ago" Adam complained and thanks to that, Dan got to know his name.

"That was hours ago and I know what\'s best for you, unless you\'re questioning my capacity? " Zukai asserted with this straight face that Dan would\'ve fallen for too if he didn\'t know all this was a plan.

"No, that\'s not what I mean " Adam conceded at last. He immediately looked around nervously before asking in a whisper " Am I going to receive a shot? "

Dan lifted an eyebrow, this guy was scared of injections?

" No, you won\'t " said Zukai adjusting the boy\'s IV drip before ordering " Let me see your hand"

Dan had to admit, Zukai was so into his role that it was hard to mistake him for a fake.

Adam reluctantly stretched out his hand towards him and he took it.

In the guise of checking Adam\'s wrist , Zukai immediately used his ability and though it was hard to concentrate, he forced himself and surprisingly caught a glimpse of what they\'re searching for.

Once he withdrew his hands, Zukai\'s eyes met with Dan and though he didn\'t say anything, the message was already sent through that single contact.

" So when am I to be discharged? " Adam asked expectantly.

" We\'ll take another CT and then we\'ll confirm whether you\'re free to go or not " Zukai explained since Adam was one of those injured on the head during the stampede

"Another test?" Adam scrunched up his face "But the previous doctor told me I wouldn\'t undergo any other test, all I just needed was a rest "

Zukai froze and he stuttered "D-did he? "

"Yes and.... " Adam trailed off staring at Zukai suspiciously before asking " Where\'s your train of interns?"

Oh crap! Dan whose attention was already grabbed, cursed internally. As a medical practitioner once, he remembered immediately this was a teaching hospital and it was very common that medical students, interns and residents would be an integral part of their treatment team.

" Aren\'t medical interns suppose to be in the room and actively participate in the patient\'s treatment? " The boy pressed, a trace of suspicion in his eyes.

"They\'re supposed to , but I decided to have a quiet time with my patient this time, don\'t you like that ? " Zukai asked throwing the boy off balance for a moment .

It was obvious Adam was conflicted but it cleared the moment his eyes fell on the name embroidered with green on Zukai\'s white lab coat

" Ophthalmology . L. Fred " Adam said aloud and Dan stiffened.

Dan\'s eyes narrowed and knew at once Adam has discovered Zukai was a fake. Back at school, he hardly interacted with the students save Lia but it seems they have messed with a smart-arse this time.

"Why\'s an eye doctor treating a head injury? " Adam asked grimly.

Dan mentally facepalm, Zukai was absolutely stupid. Doesn\'t he know the difference between an ophthalmologist and orthopedist.

Dan was still thinking on how to salvage the situation when a nurse abruptly rushed in .

" Oh my God ! I\'m so sorry Doctor eh.. " Her eyes went to his coat " Doctor Fred, I\'m so sorry for leading you into the wrong ward " She apologised, half-dragging and half-pushing

Zukai out of the room while repeatedly bowing to the patients.

"What just happened? " Quinn asked stunned herself.

"Definitely weird " The boy beside Adam said

Almost immediately, the whole students fell into a simultaneous and synchronized laughter.

Ben who thought his heart was going to burst from anxiety earlier laughed along, nervously.

Dan was still shocked and tongue-tied to join in the fun. What was Sabrina doing here? And why was she disguised as a nurse? No, he has to find out.

"I\'ll be taking my leave " Dan said in one breath and zoomed off before Adam could protest.

Ben mouthed a \'goodbye \' to Quinn and left right away. He didn\'t bother about the others, no one would miss him anyway.

He soon joined Dan in the hospital hallway and they finally tracked Zukai at the hospital\'s exterior garden with a nurse.

"Who\'s she? " Ben asked Dan curiously.

It was obvious to him that the lady had helped them out and judging from the way Dan was staring at her intensely, they seem to know each other.

" My ex-girlfriend " Dan answered almost immediately without sparing him a look.

Then within watchful eyes, Ben saw her mutter a few words and her nurse attire changed into a casual wear.

Holy moly !

"Your girlfriend is a witch! " Ben yelped from shock and excitement. This was the first-time he was seeing a witch, Oh God ! a real life witch !

But Dan didn\'t reply him and approached the girl standing beside a large tree with Zukai .

"Why are you here? " Dan asked with an I\'m- so -happy- to- see- you expression.

"I should be asking you the same thing? I\'m here to investigate the incident on Friday and my instinct is strongly telling me that\'s related to Lia, isn\'t it ? " She asked but Dan looked away without giving her an answer.

" I thought so " She snorted " No wonder, your gangs are here and you should be thankful, I just saved your asses "

"Yes, we\'re thankful for saving our butts but We\'re here to investigate something else " Ben disclosed while Dan scowled at him.

Her brows lifted "I\'m all ears "

" I lost my phone on that day and it contains vital information about the supernatural and -"

"Asher would kill you " She interjected

"As I\'ve been told " Ben added "Repeatedly " He continued " So we decided to track down -"

"Students who would be in possession of it " She put in again " Lousy speculation , what if the students aren\'t in possession of it? "

"We\'ve already made progress " Zukai countered this time " When I held Adam\'s hand, I saw someone asking him if he there was a way to decrypt the phones without destroying the data "

Ben grinned at Dan "I told you my phone is heavily guarded "

Sabrina ignored the grinning idiot and asked Zukai "Did you get a name? "

Zukai pursed his lips thoughtfully "I did hear Brin or something "

" Brian " Ben corrected.

" Think so "

Sabrina faced Ben " You know him? "

"Yeah " Ben breathed " He lives at 66 Alewood Avenue, LT 95590 and sadly, one of my bullies"

Everyone stared at Ben with unreadable looks until Dan said, cracking his neck "What are we waiting for then? let\'s go get the cellphone "

"I\'m coming along " Sabrina said as a matter of fact

" Why should you? " He whirled around, facing her.

"I might come in handy " came her excuse.

" No " Dan blandly refused.

"Yes " She insisted and their stare off began until Dan reluctantly gave in.

" Fine then, let\'s go " He sighed.

Confirming nobody was in sight, Dan grabbed Sabrina who was standing by his right-hand side by the waist while Zukai held unto his shoulder and Ben held unto zukai in return, and he teleported.

But something happened.

Dan didn\'t understand what happened at all but all he knew was that he ended up teleporting only Sabrina while the others got left behind.
