Doing the right thing (69)

Ariel walked back for her next treatment and dinner.

Paul met her a long the way, "Miss, I got you two suits. They are in your room. I was just looking for you. Doctor James is waiting for you.

Ariel shook her head and walked next to him. The treatments she got four times a day hurt but he keeps telling her it will make the baby smarter.

After the shot she ate her dinner then went to sit on the dock and watch the sun set. She gathered a few flat stones and was skipping them on the water when a wave of dizziness washed over her then everything went black.

Paul was sent to find her, she was late for her last treatment of the day and he found her passed out laying half on the dock and half in the water. He rushed over and pulled out. She was light so her carried her back to the lab and into her room before getting the Doctor.

"Shes is fines. I's wills run tests to checks on hers." Doctor James said.

"Are you sure this is not harming her?" Paul asked.

"Nos shes wills bes alrights. The babys is growing faster thens expected."

He got out and ultrasound machine and had a look at her womb.

"This am unexpected" Doctor said.

Paul looked closely at the monitor and there was two heartbeats. She having twins. They were not real big but the hearts were there.

Paul sat next to her all night watching her sleep. He felt sorry for her and wondered if he should help her leave.

Ariel was deep into a dream and said in a low horse voice, "Marcus, save me."

Paul was shocked to hear her voice. It was beautiful and made him more confused.

He went to get another blanket for her cause her hands felt cold. When he passed the lab door he hear Doctor James talking into a dictation machine.

"... Subjects has nows complets weeks fives ands is shows signs of breaks downs. Unexpectedly theres is twos fetus. Looks likes its times to puts this subjects ons life supports. We's wills needs to uses cs section to births thes twos. Mes hates to dos this, but tos has smarts childrens ones must bes sacrificeds."

Paul was shocked and had to get Ariel out of here and soon.

He watched over her all night hoping she would wake up soon.

Three man walked into a secure bunker with a man dressed as a woman. Kara could not wait to finally be free of sharing a mind with someone else.

"Sir, you can take him to a cell and Commander Jones is waiting for you in his office." A soldier said.

"Thank you. I'll take Kara to the holding cells and meet you two in the office." Harper said before following another soldier away.

Heny and Tubby were lead by another to JJ's office.

"Remember if you want to save them both you won't go back on your word." Kara said sitting on the cot in her cell.

"I won't. Tell me how do you know about Ariel." Harper asked.

"I have seen her in the great nothingness. She is alive and in great danger. If you want her safe then you will get me everything on that list."

"We will but first prove something so we know you are not lying. Something I can convince the others with." Harper said.

Kara rolled her eyes. She sat looking at the wall as if it was a window to outside. He watched her go into a trance and a few minutes later she looked over at him. "Commander James is wearing purple boxers."

"What?"

"You heard me. Commander James is wearing purple boxers. Check if I am telling the truth." She smiled.

Harper walked away puzzled and when he got to the office he stopped. The slowly walked in.

"Good your back. I got everything you asked for but do you trust her to really have the information we need?"

"Are you wearing orange boxers?" Harper asked.

"No Why?" JJ said.

"If I told you she said you were wearing purple boxers would she be right?"

"How did she know, yes my boxers are purple but you asked for Orange."

"I did and I don't know why I did that."

"Ok, I believe she is something not of this world. If she can transfer to another body with out a sole then what? I hate to do this but we need to imprison her after we are done. We don't know what she is capable of."

Everyone agreed and because it was getting late they retired to their rooms.

Marcus tried all day to get a hold of his friends with no luck. Where were they? Harrison went to the offices here to work and Lily and her bodyguard went to spend the day in the Aquarium park.

Marcus could feel something was not right and wanted to be part of it, not pushed away.

He looked through his phone before stopping on Cindy's number and called her.

"Hello"

"Hi, Cindy this is Richie. I need to talk to JJ it's important and my call won't go through."

There was a pause then she said, "I'll tell him to call you but I know he is on an important mission."

"Tell him our friendship is on the line then." he then hung up.

It was several hours and Marcus was about to give up hope when he received the call.

"What's up butter cup?" JJ said.

"Don't play games with me. What are you guys doing?" Marcus sternly said.

"I can't tell you yet. Richie you are one of the good ones and just hang on a few more days and I'll explain everything to you and your brother."

"I see, I have become the outsider now." He then hung up. He hurt more now knowing his brothers did not trust him.

"Shit, Richie is now pissed." JJ said.

"Then tell him the truth. It's better to have hope then to pushed aside." Cindy laid a hand on his knee.

He pulled her into a hug. "I can't if it turns out wrong I don't think he will come back."

"Keeping him in the dark is the same thing." She pulled away and walked out of the room.

JJ sat there was he doing the right thing or not. He really did not know.
