Rescued

Humphrey had barely stepped into the washroom when the nurse opened the inner door of the clinic, revealing the man on the bed. Lucien raced inside, his heart pounding wildly as his eyes locked onto his nearly lifeless brother. The sight of Gabe, pale and motionless, made his stomach churn, but he pushed the feeling aside, knowing they had little time.

Following closely behind Lucien was a doctor and two men dressed in police uniforms. With deft hands, the doctor quickly assessed Gabe's vitals, his eyes flicking over the monitors and the pale, unconscious figure on the bed. He noted the weak but steady pulse, the shallow breaths, and the stable readings on the machines. Satisfied, he gave a curt nod to the men, signaling that it was time to proceed.
