Chapter 423: Fake Blood (part 2)
The three walked through the hallway at a fast pace, they didn"t want to run to attract any attention, because currently, they were now in the official academy. They were supervisors, teachers and students that would appear once in a while, in certain places.
The reaction to this little mission that they had was different for all of them, Numba nervous, Izzy focused while Ian, he was excited. Never did he think his life in the AFA would amount to so many things happening and a life like this.
In fact, he didn"t even get a second to relax, either.
“Alright, so there are two things that need to be done. First is to get a test tube they use for blood, and also, get a syringe to draw out the blood. I’m guessing neither of you knows how to give yourself a blood test?” Izzy asked.
“I feel a little sick just thinking about it, they need to find a vein right in your arm, and they wrap that thing around your bicep,” Ian replied.
“Alright, well we don’t know why Gary needs Numba"s blood, but if I were to guess it doesn"t matter who it comes from, So Ian, that"s going to be your job. As for the second task, that"s getting Gary’s blood sample and swapping it. This is going to be the harder one.” Izzy explained.
When arriving at the medical bay, there were quite a few students with different injuries, what surprised them was there were also some supervisors here as well. When training Altered with all different types of abilities, they guessed it was just a normal thing.
The Medical ward wasn"t too big, there was an oval desk in the centre with staff members working at it. Nurses were walking back and forth, looking a bit too busy to deal with anything.
Then there were the patients that would sit outside a particular door on a cold metal seat.
“I was going to tell you Izzy, the sneaking part, I don"t think will be so difficult.” Numba explained. “When I came here earlier, everyone was just so busy, and they seemed to trust the students not to do anything crazy here.
“The problem is, probably wherever they have the Blood samples. I mean, sneaking in and getting a few things, fair enough, but snooping around was bound to get caught.”
Before Numba was able to fully finish his explanation, Ian was already off, he had seen where the nurses were going, in and out with their troubles of equipment. He went through the double doors, and everyone waited nervously for a while.
Five minutes had pa.s.sed, ten minutes had pa.s.sed and then. After fifteen minutes, Izzy was going to go in herself, but that"s when she saw Ian walking back towards them. The group regathered, and stepped a bit away from the reception.
“What took you so long?” Izzy asked.
“I was getting this,” Ian replied. “I wanted to be careful, make sure it was a clean needle, where to dispose of it, and do you know how scary it is to stab yourself with a needle?” Ian asked.
“Aren"t you a beast that makes needles?” Numba asked.
“That"s different, anyway, it was terrifying, and I missed a few times, but I eventually got what you wanted. You know on the internet I could probably sell my blood for a fortune and here I am, giving it away for free.” Ian joked, but Izzy had already snapped it out from Ian"s hand.
“So what are we going to do, about the other part, the swapping the blood? I couldn"t find the lab.” Ian replied.
“I"m going to need you two to make some type of distraction for me, just something to get all the nurses out here. Something big, and I’ll go in and have a look.” Izzy stated.
“What if the door is looked at, or if anything is looked at, don"t we need a key or to force someone to tell us?” Numba asked.
Izzy smiled.
“You know, I only accepted because I thought there was a chance of this working, you can let me deal with that.”
The two boys were standing there thinking about how they could make a large distraction when Ian had come up with an idea and whispered it to Numba.
“No way, why would I let you do that?” Numba asked.
At that moment, Ian pushed Numba strongly across the room.
“Why are you trying to steal my girl, man, can"t you get your own!!” Ian shouted.
Like an actor, his facial expression and tone of voice had changed in an instant just like that.
“Come on, what if you really want to do something, then why don"t you fight me right here, right now!” Ian shouted.
Everyone had stopped, including the nurses, as they looked at the commotion happening in front of them, and one had even picked up the phone.
“Oh, so you"re not going to say anything, well good defence!” Ian shouted, throwing out a kick and transforming his leg. Spikes grew out of it that dug right into Numba"s own leg.
“ARGHHH, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Numba shouted. Even if it was all an act, Numba was now annoyed.
“Stop fighting, please stop fighting!"" The nurses were shouting.
It was perfect for Izzy, and she had already disappeared. It didn"t take long for her to find the room that they were looking for.
There was a lab with a thick gla.s.s window, where all the samples could be seen. It looked like the facility had on site testing, so there was no need to send it off.
Placing her hand toward the handle, Izzy"s finger started to change, and a clicking sound was heard. It was easy for her to get into the room.
Closing the door and looking at it again, she stayed low, Izzy was looking through the test tubes at whatever she could find.
If someone was to come in, she was also looking for appropriate hiding s.p.a.ces until they left. Eventually, she found it, in a tray with a couple of other blood tests.
There was a sticker on it, with Gary’s name. Taking the tube, she took off the sticker and put it on the one Ian had given.
After that, she placed it back in the tray, as if everything was there as it was, but the question was now what to do with the blood.
There was a bright yellow container for rubbish that was to be destroyed, and there was also a sink not too far by that she could have poured it down.
‘Gary wanted us to get this for him, but why? Is he really a crazed Alter, or is it something else?’
In the end, rather than throwing the tube away, Izzy decided to keep it. Her curiosity about Gary had gotten the better out of her.
