Wheel him out and follow me

The woman walked towards the bed, calmly hooking Viktor up to the machine. A holographic screen lit up, displaying all his vital signs.

She stared indifferently at his heart, scanning for hidden ailments. Finding nothing, she was about to conclude her check-up when she froze—an unfamiliar indicator blinked beside his heart.

Zooming in, she discovered a small crystal pulsing slightly. Her gaze flashed, and Viktor instantly felt the change in her.

Earlier, she checked him like she was going through the motions, with a calm indifference.

He suddenly felt her gaze on him and pretended to be unaware, while he watched her from the corner of his eyes.

He immediately held his breath when she initiated the sleeping gas, the gas was silent and orderless.

Viktor’s hand went slack as he feigned sleep. He listened as she called security, “Wheel him out and follow me. Be careful.”
