《Luna》Ghost Protocol, case 2

"Luna! Luna!......
Stay awake, girl! Stay with us......"
......
......
"Hold her wound! Hold tight!-----"
......
The itch, the tiny itch.....crawling through her skin, effused from the blood. From the wound, the deep into the flesh and bones, all gather to the heart in the end......
......
......
"Look at me, Luna!"
I heard the voice......I know it, but I just can't......
Help......Help!
I'm loosing control......
......
"Another dose of adrenalin!"
"Her heart cannot take it anymore, sir! She will be killed by that!"
......
......
Death?
Is that......the feeling of death?
Nemo, I can hear your voice......I can feel you around.
But why can't I touch you? Why can't I speak a word?
Shit......say something!
She aroused every part of her muscle, but all the gear running at her body only made a mumbling sob sank in her throat.
......
......
"Sir, her blood pressure falls increasingly......we're loosing her!"
Damn you! I'm not dying......
Look at me, I can breath, I can feel, I even know what happens to me right now......hey, I'm Kevi Song, I was in the airport just before, 3+7=10, the capital of the CES is Zurich......I, I......
Give me a punch......cut my skin, I can show that to you......I'm not dying! I can prove it to you......I can feel the pain, I can bleed......
......
......
I'm just.....leaving?
You know, like hearing someone talking on the boat, and you're sinking in the water......their voice are like from everywhere, but fading away, as you shakes hands to catch the narrowing halo on the surface......
......
The dead silence are tiding by waves, she can count how many snow flakes kissed on her face......
......
......
"Sir, her heartbeat.....is stopped. Almost."
......
"But she's not dead yet?"
"She's tough, but the bleeding is real."

"Then leave her like this."
A short laughter.
"Luckily the bad injury, we don't even need to touch a finger to kill her......she'll be a corpse when we arrive."
......
......
Me?
A corpse?
......
I'm......
not,
a!
corpse!!!!!!
......
Never!!!!!!
Like the shrank heart being diastoled like a blooming blossom. The boiling blood brings back the breath through the heartbeat, igniting every corner of her body,
......
......
"Sir? Sir! Look at it, the heart beat------"
As Kevi bursts out the first cry, the ECG is up-curving from nearly straight line to 70......110......
150.....
220!
Her eyes are wide-opened in hollow, sweat comes out from her pale skin, wipes her cloth and hair.
"Help-----"
That's the only word utters from her lips, then cut off with a violent cough, like her throat being plugged a wet towel. She watches around, eyeballs are rolling in frenzy. Everybody around her are evading the eye-contact, hiding themselves in the shadow.
Her breath pauses by a second, with dark blood spitted out from her mouth, filling the ventilator.
"Blood-----please!" Kevi whines like a drowner, "Can't......breath......"
"Do not engage." she sees a gesture for "forbid" by the light, "Within a minute, she'll be choked to death in her own blood."
Panic controls her soul, Kevi grabs the sheet, tries to touch the first person close to her.
"Doctor? Doctor Lance?" she turns her head, "I know you, Doctor......please......"
As Doctor Lance removes the mask from her, blood is sprayed on his white uniform. He steps back, takes a gauze and wipes the blood with slightly disgusted scowl.
"Relax, Luna," Doctor Lance press his hand on Kevi's forehead, "You're not suffering this for long."
Few second he adds.
"Never, ever feel it anymore."
He comforts in whisper, but more like lament. He can feel the strength is leaving away from Kevi, as her pupils are widening, her head leans by side, and her breath is growling in blood.

"Good," Doctor Lance turns to his colleagues, "Good. Prepare a report then."
"Will they really accept her death?" someone still concerns.
"By that time we'll be abroad, nothing to do with us anymore," Doctor says, "Get those things off her, make it natural."
The rest medical staff nods at him, comes to Kevi and takes the sensors away.
By the time he touches her body, Kevi's pupil shrinks in a sudden. No time for anyone's reaction she rises up to seizes his collar, picks a lancet from the tray and slices his throat.
What the damn fuck???
Doctor Lance rushes to Kevi, locks her shoulder and presses a pillow on her face, but Kevi is still writhing her body, trying to rise again------
"Cover her limbs!" he yells, "You! On her feet! Get the damn adrenalin!"
Doctor Lance grabs the syringe, hold it up on the air, aimming at Kevi's wildly-beating heart-----
With it doses at once, her heart will explode! Not gonna recover again, you little Medusa!
But then a heated shock wave burst out from their back------
What the------
Smoke rises in the explosion, licks the door and whirls it away. Strong light shoots inside the cabin and blinds them-----
Three rounds of pistol shot with silencer. All his colleagues are shot at head, leaves a red mist erupted from the blood hole.
Seeing their bodies fallen down, Doctor Lance grabs Kevi from behind, drags her up as a shield.
"Stop! Stop it!"
He screams at the front,
"Drop the weapon, or I'll kill her!"
Through back light, Doctor Lance finds a black shadow holding a pistol with laser pointer, blocks the way out.
"You're man from the agency?" he asks, still seizes Kevi's neck, "Put the gun down!"
As he expected, the shooter lowers the aimming a little, but still on guard.
"Good, good......what do you want from me?" he asks in hurry, "We could talk, OK? Listen friend, I have to do this-----to earn my life. How much money do you want? 50 to 50 after it's done? More than your 5 years salary------"
He takes a short glimpse backward during speaking, which turns to be deadly.
Before he could finish his defense speech, Kevi hit his nose with her head, stamps heavily on his feet to get away from his control. As she falls on the ground, the last scene she peeks is a slow motion, the death of Doctor Lance, who got shot at eye and throat.
......
......
"I've found her, Nemo......that was so close......"
Kevi recognizes that voice, and she swears that voice is the second abhorrent sound she could imagine now.
