A speaker near him beeped and followed Doctor's announcement, "Medical staff, please arrive at mortuary ward. Bodies need re-registration."
It was one more time when Doctor had put him in trouble.
Lieutenant whether dead or alive was in there.
He looked back at the gate for the last time and sprinted towards medical facility. Roderick did not know he was this fast because he reached there before any staff member could arrive. But he doubted about speed of doctor was well because he came there just after Roderick's arrival.
Doctor was about to get in the room.
"Doc, there's a rat near your boot." Roderick yelled.
"I can't see any." Doctor looked around. He turned the doorknob.
"It was a big rat." Roderick interrupted him.
"Why don’t you just eat it then?" Doctor got annoyed.
Roderick came close and said, "Do you know, it was a green rat? Perhaps it had dived into one of your chemicals."
Doctor stared at him, "Will you let me get in this room, please?"
"No-"
"What?" Doctor snapped.
"I mean, no problem, doc." Roderick smirked.
"Jeez, get some bath. You stink." Doctor said then went inside the room.
Shit! Now he will find Lieutenant.
Medical staff arrived there soon after. Doctor came out with a name list attached on his cardboard.
Where did the corpse go? Oh damn! A zombie killed him. Lieutenant was bound to resurrect. Roderick thought while officials began emptying the mortuary room.
"Everyone! Wear infrared glasses. A zombie has already been discovered here." Doctor said, squinting at Roderick. He knew Doctor was talking about Adam but he wanted to know how he would react to his announcement.
Not knowing what to do, Roderick snatched an infrared goggle from a medical man's hand, wore it, and walked away.
Was it normal? It did not matter at all.
Doctor's assistant was in his lab doing some experiments when he noticed someone standing near the door.
Assistant deprived him of his attention but when he started to come in then he left what he was doing and asked, "What do you want, sir?"
Lieutenant did nothing other than staring at him as if he was lifeless.
