Act 1.6: Busted

Alexander and Marcus have arrived at the Hospital, they go to the reception desk, where they ask the middle-aged woman who is sitting at her desk and type on the computer. When the two came to her desk, the middle-aged woman took a peak at them, looked at the computer and continued to type.

“Can I help you two?”

“Yeah.” says Alexander. “Where here to look after a girl named Selena.”

“Selena… What is the other name?”

“I don’t know.”

“We don’t know. We came here to check on her.”

“Who are you two?” asks the middle-aged woman. “Friends?”

“Yes.” says Marcus. “We are her friends. But not that close. And we know she came here today.”

“Aha… I don’t know if I can allow you two to check her if you cannot provide more information.”

“She’s a young woman,” says Alexander. “Blonde hair, short and a mole under her lips.”

“Hm… Aha. I have one. She came here today. Floor 2, Room 203.”

“Thank you, ma’am.” Marcus says to the woman sitting on the reception desk, he turns around and walks with Alexander toward the second floor.

While the two are walking the stairs, Marcus asks Alexander.

“Do you think she’ll remember something?”

“Hopefully.” says Alexander. “God. This is one of the worst days of my life.”

“Agree…”

The two arrive at the second floor, they go into room 203 after they knock at the door, and check in to see how Selena is. When the two get in the room, Selena is looking uncomfortable at the two while she is sitting in the bed, with devices attached to her bed.

“Hello.” says Alexander to Selena.

“H-Hi.” says Selena looking worried at the two. “Who are you two?”

“Y-You don’t remember us?” asks Marcus to Selena.

Marcus and Alexander are sitting nearby Selena on the chairs of this room, the two are looking at Selena while she is closing her eyes and tries to remember what happened last night. But she opens her eyes after a minute and says looking scared at the two.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

“You two… Have pushed me into the pool and almost drowned me.”

“Oh…” says Alexander, feeling bad.

“We’re sorry about it.” says Marcus to Selena.

“I-I would call the police on you two.” she says. “But you also saved me.”

“Huh?” asks Alexander.

Selena takes off the blanket, to reveal her bandaged leg, the area where she was stabbed last night. She knows she was stabbed because a fragment of flashback from last night came to her earlier this day while she was thinking what happened. Selena told the two.

“We were walking down the pier, then we got into a brawl with a homeless man who stabbed me in the foot… And from what I remember,” she says looking at Alexander. “You… You pushed the homeless man down the pier and fell into the ocean.”

“Oh, God…” says Alexander, feeling more miserable. “I-I’ve killed someone last night.”

“If it helps you it was self-defense.” says Marcus.

“Shut up, Marcus.” says Alexander to Marcus, and looks at Selena who continues.

“Then… We all four walked down the pier to deliver a watch to a graveyard.”

“Graveyard?” asks Marcus, sounding creeped.

“What would we do there?” asks Alexander himself.

“I-I don’t know…That’s all I could remember after I woke up on the beach.”

“Who was the fourth one?” asks Marcus.

“Huh?” asks Selena and Alexander almost at the same time.

“You said we were four last night,” says Marcus. “Do you remember who was the fourth one? Because Alex and I don’t know anyone.”

“I-I believe it was a woman from the way she was talking… I-I don’t remember her face, nor her clothes, nothing. It was too dark to see something.”

“Did you remember what she said?” asks Selena.

“A-All I remember is that we needed to deliver the watch to someone’s great-grandfather immediately before he would be sent to Hell. That’s all I remember. That someone’s grandfather, I don't know who means it.”

“Just…” says Marcus. “What the fuck have we done last night?”

“Did I get drugged?” Selena asks, sounding concerned.

“Well…” says Alexander to Selena. “You might not want to know. Believe me.”

“Was meth?”

“Yeah…” says Marcus as a lie to make Selena feel a little bit relieved.

“My Father will kill me.”

“And we’ll be expelled,” says Alexander.

“At least we are not arrested.” says Marcus.

In a few seconds, the two cops that came earlier at the campus, have come to the Hospital, where they immediately took their guns out, aimed at Alexander and Marcus, and yelled at them to surrender. The two surrender to the cops with no hesitation, and they are soon taken from the Hospital area and sent into a police car, on the backseats where both of them will be sent to interrogation and arrested for possession of a controlled substance. There has been another cop, who remained in that room and interrogated Selena about the events last night. Selena told them what she told the lifeguard and the two, but not that she took drugs since she doesn’t want to be taken away. But the cops still took her out since one of them told her.

“Why do you smell weird?”

“Excuse me.” asks Selena to the cop.

“You smelled weird.” he says as he is sniffing closer, then he looks at the other cop. “She took Jenkem.”

“You sure?” asks the other cop.

“Sure.” says the cop.

“Wait a second.” says Selena. “What is Jenkem? I-I don't remember taking it.”

“That’s what it does.” says a cop, and he looks at the other. “Take her away.”
