Hold Your Breath
The nurse’s body was rigid, still shaking with the sudden, terrible energy of her struggle. Her breath came in harsh gasps that clawed at her throat. She released the doctor's collar, and his body lay completely onto the floor."I'm already a few steps away from the hospital gate. I will make sure I kill Riley myself."The words kept echoing in her head.The nurse slowly stepped away from the corpse, groaning in pain due to her head wound. She pressed her fingertips against her temple, feeling the sticky warmth of her own blood beginning to dry against her skin.She glanced at the hospital bed, gazing at Riley who lay unconscious on the hospital bed. She couldn't fight Henry Cardwell, a powerful mafia lord, alone.Her only chance, Riley's only chance, was to get him conscious and moving, or at least alert enough to understand the gravity of their escape.She stumbled to the bedside table, her eyes scanning the array of the deadly syringes still lying there. She ignored them all, her
Henry Cardwell On The Line
The nurse watched the doctor convulse. The immediate, searing pain from the injected Viper-Toxin caused him to groan,his mouth falling open, but his larynx failed to produce a coherent word.The nurse stood over him, still fighting for her breath."To hell with your money," she hissed, her voice ragged but burning with fierce conviction. "That money means nothing when weighed against a human life. I will never allow or witness anyone killing a patient in my presence—or even somebody who is not even my patient—without using every means to save them."" It is against my profession. It is against my sacred oath. And it is against humanity in general."The doctor's face, contorted in a final paroxysm of rage and betrayal. He struggled to focus his eyes on her, his breathing becoming shallow and ragged as the toxin began its systemic work.He forced out a few shaky syllables, his voice a guttural whisper scraped raw from his drying throat." Henry Cardwell will surely come after you, Nurse
No Going Back.
The doctor nodded slowly, a dark, triumphant glint in his eyes. He slightly eased the pressure on the nurse's throat, though his grip remained firm, allowing her a shallow, ragged breath. He was no longer coercing a subordinate, he was sealing a deal with a desperate, willing accomplice."Absolutely," the doctor confirmed, his voice smooth and persuasive.. "I will give you the sum of three hundred thousand dollars. And let me tell you, that money is yours the moment I verify the job is complete."He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper."You can use that money to travel out of the country immediately. Go to any country, or any city of your choice. You can disappear, vanish entirely, without ever having to look over your shoulder or worry about getting caught”.He tapped the deadly syringe gently against her neck, the gesture both a promise and a threat."This is a chance for you to get rich, Nurse, truly rich, without doing much effort. All I need from you is
To Save One, To Kill One.
The nurse smiled faintly, a tired, blood-smeared smile that belied the terror gripping her throat. She could barely draw in air, yet she managed to let out a final defiance."No matter how much you offered me," she rasped, the words thin and sharp against the pressure of his fingers, "I would never watch my patient be killed by anyone. Not for two hundred thousand dollars, or for three hundred thousand dollars, not even if you were ready to offer me a sum of one billion dollars."The doctor’s eyes widened slightly in disbelief at the mention of the billion-dollar figure, then narrowed instantly in pure rage. He let out a loud laugh, his voice echoing in the room.Instantly, his gaze snapped to the door, checking frantically whether the noise had alerted anyone in the hallway. He pulled the nurse back against the wall, his focus returning to his prey."Then I am going to grant your wish," he snarled, his voice dropping to a harsh whisper. "I'm going to kill you if you disagree to coope
Dollars Or Death?
"I'm going to kill you!" the doctor roared, his voice laced with unhinged fury.. He twisted his body violently on the cold tile floor, trying to leverage his weight and bulk to shake the tenacious nurse from his back. But the more he struggled, the tighter the nurse’s hold became, her arms locked around his torso in a desperate, unbreakable grip.She became surprisingly strong, or perhaps her will was simply stronger than his physical resistance.His frantic eyes darted around the room, sighting the fallen syringe containing The Slow Rot poison, now lying several feet away. He ignored the pain of the fall and the pressure of the nurse's weight, focusing entirely on that small piece of glass.With all his strength, he twisted his body again, using his legs to push himself backward across the floor, crawling toward the syringe like a wounded animal seeking shelter.But the nurse immediately understood his goal. Her grip tightened instantly, preventing him from moving any further toward
A Gasp, A Groan.
The doctor paused over the unconscious Riley, his mouth turning into a cold smile. He leaned over Riley and extended his hand. With a trained, professional movement, he placed his index and middle fingers precisely on the carotid pulse point in Riley's neck, just beneath the jawline. He kept the pressure light and steady, counting the beats for a full fifteen seconds before removing his hand.Satisfied by the weak but persistent rhythm, a slow, malicious chuckle began to form at the corner of his lips. It started as a low rumble, growing quickly into a clear, echoing burst of derisive laughter that filled the sterile room.He threw his head back for a brief moment, reveling in the sound. After a few seconds, he slammed his mouth shut, cutting the laughter off mid-gasp, his eyes flicking nervously toward the closed door. He listened intently for any sound from the hallway, his heart pounding against his ribs, before relaxing, confident that the thick hospital door had muffled the outbu
