I was in a room laying on a bed, and machines were checking my vitals on a screen behind me. I felt dizzy and my head felt heavy. I couldn’t move my body. The machine said, “You have a severe head concussion. There is a wide bandage wrapping your head. It is not recommended that you move in any form. Please relax since your heart beats keep rising. The medicine that is pumped in your blood stream should lower it and keep it steady. ” I tried to move my mouth, and the only thing I was able to say was, “Water.”
I didn’t know how I arrived to this room, but what I saw earlier, the holograms, what Sara said, if it was even real. I couldn’t think and wanted to sleep. After a few minutes, I heard people talking at the door entry way, but I couldn’t lift my head to see who. The conversation became clearer and a man that sounded familiar to me, with an authoritative voice said, “Intelligence sector is not allowed to be involved in this matter.”
Another man frantically said, “She can’t know the truth. It will ruin everything.”
The man with authority said, “I have no idea what you mean by truth. The Intelligence sector is no longer involved and allowed to help her.”
The man entered the room and told the machine to leave. The machine obliged. He closed the door behind it. He came closer to my bed and looked at the ceiling. He shifted his eyes at every corner, took out his gun and fired it at the surveillance cameras. There were four, one in every corner.
I opened my eyes widely and lifted my heavy head. Dumbfounded, I said, “Boris?”
He looked at me with a frown. He didn’t say anything.
I asked him, “What happened? Where am I?”
Boris looked at me and had a difficult time putting words together. He then said, “You were right. Ellen never disappeared.”
My heart started beating fast, and Boris looked at the screen behind me, held my hands and said, “Calm down. You are no longer in the Intelligence compound. You are in the Red compound with high security to protect you.”
