Hallucinations?!

"Jake, she is waking up...should we still not register anaesthesia? You see, it is going to be very painful for her!", the female doctor, who also happened to be Jacobs' colleague was worried.

"She is a lot more strong than what you think! You are underestimating her".

The female doctor was still not convinced.

"Lucy, she was once shot in the thigh and she removed the bullet herself, does this seem easy to hear?", Jacobs stated as if he was just narrating an incident normal enough while everyone gasped hearing it.

"How could you be so unfazed about this?", Lucy smacked him on his shoulder.

Jacobs decided to not use anaesthesia on Zsadin. She would be asleep for more than normal, he knew. By his expectations he could assume that she would probably regain her consciousness fully by now. And his assumptions were never wrong.

"Ch...chief. Remove it fast. Until when do you ...expect me to lie down here?", she was stuttering slightly but said without seeing as she knew who would probably remove that bullet.

"Stop speaking, you sound ugly. I am not knocking you out. Bear with it", Jacobs wanted to pull her ears and give her a good beating but restrained himself.

Slowly but determinedly he removed the bullet amidst almost no reaction from Zsadin. He knew that she would never react to her pain. Even when he was suturing up that wound she made no noise, which was not unusual but eerie as if she had a lot to say but decided against it.

"Rest for a while, I am putting you on fluid. I am waiting outside, step out when you feel better", Jacobs was about to remove his gloves and glasses when Zsadin held his hand.

"Don't blame them, not even Ryan", Zsadin sounded pleading but Jacobs didn't give in.

He removed her hand and patted her head, "I am bound to do that. Rest well".

As soon as he headed out, the scattered batch stood in steady positions. Jacobs was annoyed at their obeyance but it also made him proud. They were the best batch and his pumpkin was leading them. She was the second best official at Cannon after him. But still, he couldn't help but reprimand them.

"How the hell can you let her go alone? None of you even had the audacity to report that to me? Ryan, you have greatly disappointed me! You know she always attracts enemies and dangerous situations, no doubt she is more than enough for it all, but didin't you even think that if she went or was forced to go into tranquilized state she could get those fucking pathetic hallucinations!", and the batch gaped at him in horror.

'Hallucinations! Chief Zsadin has anxiety problems'

"Why do you think James is always on her tail? Because that freak knows!", and this realization made Ryan to jerk his head up.

"What do you mean by that? James have never indicated about this or even dropped a hint!", Ryan was literally annoyed, like fucking annoyed.

"You didn't know?.....When Zsadin shot that bitch, she attacked her with a tranq inject. The first person to arrive there was James and he called me to say what had happened and I had to tell him about it", Jacobs was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

"As of now, you all will have to complete fifty rounds of that freaking ground, including Ryan. Lucy, call me when she comes out. I need to have a sweet little talk with her, too".

Saying this, Jacobs turned to leave and walked towards the garden while the batch rushed after him to the main ground, not uttering anything among themselves. Nor complaining neither blaming.
