Scarlet was still closely observing the procedure, biting a nail everytime Aidan's vitals would flick.
She was unusually worried, maybe she realized it was too dangerous, maybe she felt threatened by how well he was taking it.
Maybe there was something else she forgot to warn him about.
As the final implants were introduced, she had almost completed her manicure. The procedure wasn't long, but she seemed rather uneasy and kept checking the clock more frequently than usual.
Another quick look at the vitals and she looked rather surprised.
"Well I'll be, he might actually make it..."
Suddenly, another woman rushed into the room. Much younger than Scarlet and with a much more serious look on her face.
Scarlet, what is this? I thought I made myself clear, no more of your insane procedures on my ship!
The last ten patients either died or went insane! One of them slaughtered the whole medical team while you stood and watch!
The annoyed woman was the Guildmaster's daughter, Gabrielle Daniels. Scarlet didn't really paid much attention to her yelling and just pointed at the monitor.The vitals were solid and the wounds were rapidly healing.
"Chill, Gabs. It's all under control. This boy here, he's solid. That's the guy you sent to extract me, remember? The very same guy you armed with a stun gun.
Shame on you Gabs, shame on you. I thought we were frie..."
Scarlet couldn't even finish her sentence before she was interrupted.
Enough! Effectively immediately, you're to write down a full report about your activity in the past 24 months. You'll do so in the brig. With armed security guarding you!
That'll teach you not to disobey my direct orders.
Scarlet tilted her head and smiled slyly, leaned towards the younger girl and whispered something in her ear.
Moments later, Gabrielle turned around and stormed out of the room, only uttering a single " Fine " before the door slammed shut.
Scarlet, with an even wider smile on her face, pulled a chair and sat right next to the operating table. She stared coldly at Reeves and awaited his awakening
