Chapter 109: They Forgot Me…
After we left the school, we went to the warehouse to pick up food for lunch. Isabella went inside, and Rose and I took care of Dana while waiting outside.
At that time I saw Gabriel leaving the warehouse with a bag with food. I remember that he said that he had younger siblings and that he had to take care of them. I waved my hand to him, and he seemed surprised to see me.
"Hello Spencer, How are you feeling? You made us worry."
"I'm a lot better thanks, are you all ok?"
"Yeah you were the only one that got injured during that fight, I'm surprised that you are already out of the hospital."
"I'm a lot better and one of the nurses there is part of my group so she will keep an eye on me at home, how is it that you are not working?"
"We have to rest too from time to time you know? Since you were supposed to go in that scout mission, there was already a couple of days off already on schedule for us."
"That's good, I wish I could do that more often, but I'm always busy with something."
"You should say that to Zak, he takes the checkpoint duty when he doesn't have to go in the hunting groups, he was worried about you too by the way." He saw the sun position like if calculating something "I have to go, I have to cook for my siblings and is getting late for lunch. It was nice to see you are ok, bye."
Gabriel left waving his hand to me and shortly to Rose. After biding my farewell too, I went back to Rose and Dana. Rose took my hand but she wasn't treating me right now, at the beginning she tried but everyone started to gave us weird looks, it was uncomfortable, so we agreed to continue at home. Even without it, Lucy was working from inside me without being noticed… at least that what I think she is doing inside me.
Isabella appeared later with a bag filled with food. I took it out of her hands despite her unwillingness, and we went home.
Since most of the group was working, Isabella cooked something for just the four of us. Rose, on the other hand, restarted the treatment as soon as we were at the apartment again.
I was forced to go rest in bed after eating, in the end, I managed to exchange it for the couch in the living room, even with the tempting idea of spending the day in bed with Rose I didn't want to lay down anymore.
Isabella and Dana stayed on our apartment, while Rose was sitting with me on the couch, Dana did her homework on the floor.
I was thinking what Dante was doing, I hadn't received any information about it, but I could feel the connection, so I knew that he was ok.
"Isabella, can I go to the checkpoint to visit someone?"
She looked at me.
"You have to rest."
"I'm already fine, there is no poison on my body anymore."
She looked at me for a few seconds.
"Even if the test came out ok there is always the possibility that it was a coincidence, you have to stay here for now."
'System do I have poison on my body?'
[No, both physical and soul component of the poison are out of the user's body, but there are still some aftereffects of the poisons]
"There is not more poison, Rose and Lucy got rid of the soul component of the poison, and I expelled the poison from my body, you saw it…"
She didn't seem convinced, but I wanted to go see Zak and find out a little more about the scouting group that went to investigate. At times like this, I miss Dante's help to make this type of thing easier.
"I got an ability to expel poisons, and with my senses, I'm sure that there is nothing left…"
She sighed and looked at Rose to confirm that what I said is true.
"Ok, but you have to be back in less than 1 hour if you took more time I will send you back to the hospital until you are fully recovered… deal?"
"Deal."
Dana made us pinky swear to make it "official." After receiving her permission, I went to the room, if it wasn't for Dana she would probably come with me to check that nothing happens to me.
I looked around on my room and saw a bag with my weapons, I took the push daggers and the tomahawk, Rose frowned when she noticed what I was doing.
"I prefer having them and not need them that need them and don't have them with me."
She knew that but probably she didn't like the idea of me fighting again, after getting those three weapons she took my hand, and we left the apartment together, in the direction of one of Green Shelter entrances.
As I was getting near I saw Leon talking with a short guy.
"… I still can't believe that the lucky bastard was chosen to go on a mission with that reporter girl… you know the one with big…"
He put his hands in the front of his chest making them took the form of a huge pair of boobs.
Leon rolled his eyes and interrupted him
"They are not that big… oh, hello Spencer feeling better already? Hi Rose."
The short guy blushed when he noticed that Rose and I heard a part of the conversation.
"Who were you talking about?"
"Stan… I don't think you have noticed him… he and some other went in some sort of secret mission."
"Actually I met him on the first day, he was a guard on Hayley's dad lab… He was part of the team?"
I suddenly felt lucky of not going, just imagine a couple of days with Stan talking not stop made my head hurt…
"I forgot that you were supposed to go too, yeah he was one of them, the other were Scott, you met him, he was the one with us when we went to visit, and I think you might know Johanna since she is famous."
"Actually, I met her with Dr. Harting, no news from them?"
"Too soon, if the mission goes well, they might be able to come back in the afternoon or maybe tomorrow, besides those three, Frederick and Ines are with them…"
Those were new names to me, but from what Leon said they were good scouts. I noticed that there was a lack of fighters on the group, so I was a little worried about the mission.
"Have you seen Zak? Gabriel told me that he was worried too."
"Zak is used to patrolling near the checkpoint when he gets bored, he should appear soon, he hasn't eaten yet, and you know how he is."
I nodded with a smile and decided to wait for a little to see if he appears, but I don't think I will get more info about the investigation. A couple of minutes passed, and it was about time for me to go back to the apartment or Isabella is going to kill me.
I said goodbye to Leon and asked him to tell Zak that I was ok. As I started to walk towards the apartment, I could hear Zak's voice screaming.
"Help!! Bring a medic."
Rose and I turned around and saw Zak running with a person on his arms.
It was a severely injured Stan. I moved fast to Zak's side.
"Leave him on the floor, Leon go bring me the first aid kit, you go get a doctor and a stretcher."
I said pointing at the short guy that was talking with Leon.
Stan had multiple wounds on his body. He had a cut on his arm and a deep piercing wound on his stomach that seemed to be the worst ones, the others are mostly superficial wounds. Beside them, on the legs and arms, there were at least 4 biting marks from snakes.
"I almost didn't notice him, if it wasn't because a snake was bitting him, I would have missed him."
I started to look for other wounds, he had lost a lot of blood, and the injury on his stomach was particularly severe. When Leon arrived with the first aids kit. I took a piece of cloth and used detoxification, I didn't want to reveal more abilities, but I won't sacrifice someone that I can save to hide it, even if he was Stan…
A black liquid started to came out of the stomach wound, and I used the cloth to clean it, then I proceeded to disinfect the other injuries and cover all of them.
I looked at Rose wanting to know if the poison damaged his soul too but as far as I know it was a normal poison.
He didn't open his eyes only his mouth.
"They forgot me… they attacked us and forgot to take me with them…"
