The Ghost Pathologist

[NIKITA]

No one had ever expected Nikita Pavlenko to ever look like a vegetative patient, and yet here he was, walking like he had a fucking loose screw in his head. The sight was heartbreaking but what was Qiao supposed to do with the man who had the keys to unlock the whole fiasco here?

"No, you're not going home brother, we have to find out what happened. The cameras have gone blind, which means that we have nothing to prove anything," Qiao said to Nikita, who just smiled at him, wondering if his friend had grown mold in his ears.

Nikita knew Qiao wanted to ensure he was safe and that he didn't wish for Nikita to be alone in such times. 

"What?" Nikita said, surprised at what Qiao had said. Maybe there was something wrong with Qiao, and he hoped that there really was a good reason for this.
