ENHANCED!!!

HINT OF TRUTH

The figure dropped the g*n on the table beside the cup. And he took out a cup from his side and poured himself a drink too placing it beside the doctor’s cup.

“What do you want from me?”, the doctor asked slowly panting

“Now that’s the question I want asked. Well, I must say you have seen some things you shouldn’t have so I have to kill you. The boy you performed craniotomy on, why did you tell the truth in the report?”, the figure asked and the doctor gulped.

“I…I don’t know….I was just freaked out, though I’ve seen many things but none like this”, the doctor said.

“Have you told anyone and what exactly did you saw?”, the figure asked.

“No, I haven’t . What I saw was unexplainable and would be stupid to most people”, the doctor said. “That boy didn’t suffer from hemorrhagic stroke, that’s what I thought at first. What was clotted around his brain were dead cells, and I just took them out. The explosion didn’t affect his brain just some bruises. Then I discovered that his cells had been somehow enhanced, I don’t know, they’ve been upgraded, even the red bloods cells produce more hemoglobin more than a regular humans and transports oxygen from his lung at a faster rate than humans”, the doctor explained. “Yeah I know it’s stupid but that’s what I saw as I continued my tests”, he added.

“No, it’s not stupid at all. I believe you, but you shouldn’t have added the note in the report”, the figure said.

“I can’t tell anyone. Least I could do is put a hint of truth in there, I thought he was an experiment or something and I understand confidentiality”, the doctor responded.

The figure exhaled and tutted. “Seems fair. But I do have a favor to ask from you”, The figure said.

“Shoot”, the doctor replied

“Can you kill a person for 30 minutes and resurrect him back?”, the figure asked holding the g*n firmly.

“What?”, the doctor asked confused ?.

“I am happy for you Miss”, the woman in lab coat said.

“Thank you, doctor”, Sicily replied.

“And as for the scan, the pregnancy is too early to show which gender the child will be”, the woman stated

“No problem”, Sicily said and cleaned a tear from her face.

“What is wrong?”, the woman asked with a concerned expression. “This is good news”, she added.

“Yeah. I guess it should be if I haven’t broken up with my fiancé”, Sicily whispered as more tears started coming.

“Why?”, the woman asked.

“He wouldn’t show me to his parents, anytime I bring the topic up he would change and he is way too paranoid. He wouldn’t tell me where he works only that he works shift in janitorial jobs. I don’t think I know anyone related to him. He’s just a mystery.

I don’t want that kind of man for my child but I think I was too late since I’m now pregnant for him”, Sicily replied.

The woman exhaled and hugged her for some moment.

(At home)

Sicily came in and was holding a paper. She dropped her bag and a boy came out to meet her.

“Welcome Mum”, Arthur said with a smile which made Sicily smile widely.

“How are you?, I hope you are not bored. It’s a matter of time, you will join other kids to play soon, okay”, she said as she wrapped Arthur in an embrace.

After letting go, Arthur looked up to her eyes and smiled.

“You have someone inside your stomach. He’s growing”, Arthur said

“Someone?.....He?”, Sicily whispered and her mind went back to the pregnancy report in her hand. Then she grinned widely.

“How’d you know that?”, she asked as she rubbed his hair.

“I don’t know…..”, Arthur replied. And then her phone rang.

“Hello, this is Sicily, who is speaking?”, Sicily asked.

“Are you an acquaintance of a certain Jeckin with no surname?”, the voice spoke over the phone

“Yeah, I guess. He’s my ex”, Sicily replied.

“Well, you are the only one we could reach. Mr Jeckin is dead”, the voice said and Sicily gulped.

“I am sorry for your loss ma’am . I will send you the address”, the voice said and Sicily just stood there as he hung up the call. She sat on the chair and started sobbing.
