2 Lost But Observed

I opened my eyes to see my wife waking me up; wearing a rose robe and her hand was touching my face "Ted! Hey Ted! Wake up! C'mon baby what's wrong.", quickly I raised my head to see what was happening, I turned weirdly straight to see the room and it was nothing, there was no spit on the floor or my son swinging from the roof, I sighed "thank god it was just illusion... Where is Todd?", and then my wife shocked me" I was going to ask you the same question", immediately, I stood up; I had pushed my wife by mistake but I didn't have the time to say sorry, I ran searching on him and calling " Todd! Todd! Son!" "I told you he is not here… maybe he went to work," my wife said, I sat on my knees staring at the clock which was signed to 10:30, thinking that I woke up at 7:00, and if all that I saw was an illusion, my son would try to wake me up; because I was sleeping exactly at his door, maybe he had stayed at one of his friends yesterday, though, he had no friends since high school, I was hoping that he might be okay. When I lifted my eyes, I saw a Latino kid with a black hoodie and also black pants, immediately, I recognized him he was Ben Alvarez who was my first failure case, and the last — Ben was a 16-year-old teenager. One day he wanted to suicide, and I was responsible to talk with him and made him stop, but one wrong word from me was able to finish his life, and since that night I always had nightmares about him— I said questioningly "Ben? But you are dead! How could you?" he said no word; his eyes were looking so strange, he had started walking and heading to Todd's room, although I knew that I shouldn't follow him I felled like it wasn't my choice like I was forced to. I was scared and confused at the same time. When I entered the room I saw him choking my kid with a rope and he was yelling "It Was Your Fault! You Killed Me!" and Todd was turning too red, he couldn't breathe. I wasn't able to move, but I had shouted "Todd!!"And then everything was turning to black, I hardly opened my eyes; again, I was hearing a beep and had a terrible headache. I was sleeping on a bed in a room with blue walls. I looked around and observed the equipment on my hand, it was the serum. I confirmed that I was in the hospital.

In minutes the doctor had come to me; a bald man with black skin and brown big eyes wearing a white brat closed to the top, he looked so respectful man and rich if you observed his gold precious watch, it was equal about 7,500 dollar; from his salary as a doctor, he never will be able to buy something that precious, maybe a second job, or his money wife but he wasn't wearing a ring, looking to the other side, he was wearing an old suit which made in 1985, that's was his father costume and that's why he was rich, he had inherited his money from his parents; his body was like gymnastic, "Hi! Ted, you finally wake up" he said as he smiled, I had tried to respond but he interrupted me "No, you don't have to answer me now, just rest" that's was helpful since I wasn't in my best moods.

He said that he will call my wife to see me and walked away. I waited for a few seconds while I'm thinking until a woman got inside my room, she jumped on me kissing and hugging; she was my wife; she had started crying and thanking God that I'm okay. In a moment I wondered that was only my wife who came to visit me and what about Todd.

The doctor was smiling seeing this family regroup, then he asked my wife to let me rest and to stay out of the room. Although I was hardly speaking, I asked my wife with a low voice "Margot where is Todd?", and her expressions had changed she said "don't worry about him, now, you must have rest" and she kissed me on my head, I knew that something was wrong; because my wife Margot Roth is one of the people who can't hide their feelings, I gripped her hand and asked again "please, Margot tell me if he is ok," she sighed, and a tear was going down on her cheek, she lowered her head. The doctor asked again. "Mrs. Roth! Please, the patient needs rest" she released my hand and walked through the doors.

Once she went out, the doctor said, "Mr. Pinkman you need to know some important things. First, I'm your doctor Silver Albert; you can call me Albert without a doctor. Second, from now on you will follow my advice because I'm responsible for you. After all, you will stay at the hospital a week at least. Third thing, you were poisoned by highly concentrate Hallucinatory called L.S.D. which was injected on your neck by a small arrow…" I looked at him weirdly, "a… arrow?!" I asked in wonder, "Yes sir an arrow was found on your backside neck, and the injection was full by L.S.D. the product which can cause you illusion, confusion, pain, coma… and even death. You must thank your wife for bringing you here immediately" he answered, I was so confused especially about the coma! Was I in a coma? What is today's date?"

"Thursday, September 3, 2020, sir."

That was freezing, I slept for all constant three days, but the problem was that's my son was missing and as I saw him dead was also an illusion, my son was three days missing and I was in the bed I couldn't be patient to wait for a week.

I removed the medical equipment and tried to stand up, however, I barely did because the effect of poison had stilled working; plus I was 47-year-old, nine of them sick of diabetes. I forced myself to get up and then I saw everything was swinging in circles, I couldn't control my body so I blacked out but this time I made big noise as a result of falling on the table and materials.

I was unconscious, but my ear had caught some talking and some moves, the important thing was that I had sensed a bite in the backside of my neck.

It happened just like the last time and after some nightmares and pain, I did wake up to find Margot sleeping on the chair next to me, my situation was hopeless, "water…water" I whispered, because I was so thirsty, even though my voice was very quiet, she heard me and hurried to give me a cup, I drank and turned to the other side; my wife thought me sleeping, but I was thinking about the bite, I felt like it was an injection, I raised my hand checking if there were any signals, the thing is that I found a mark, but it wasn't for injection it was like a cut, maybe hand or something sharp.

In the morning the doctor Albert came to my room "how are you feeling Ted?" he asked me, I was about to answer till I saw his different clothes; he was wearing a black small jacket under the white brat. Some of my memory had come back, I frosted in my place, and he was waiting to respond to him "better doctor I feel better" I said, he smiled "Great! That's great… I will be here if you need anything" and walked away.

Fast, I had checked my thigh to find the mark of the injection and confirmed that's the bite on my neck was to disturb me on the real one on my leg and the person who did this is the person who was just here and smiling with me.
