Abdicate

[Leo]

My eyes opened slowly. A man was in the room working on the equipment in the room that I was now hooked up to. Oxygen was running from a tank near the bed into my nose. It felt good in a strange way. The man continued to press buttons on whatever he was working on. He pressed a few more buttons and I could tell he was smiling at what he had completed.

"Excuse me." I croaked. "What happened?"

The man turned around and I gasped...it was Leo.

"You had quite a nasty spill...can I get you something to help?"

I gasped and woke up again, this time in another room, but similar to the last one, a man sat near the bed and nearly jumped when I woke up. It was Dejesus.

"Nearly gave me a heartattack." He said with a smile. "How are you feeling? I heard you had a spill down in the bay a few days ago, you've been asleep ever since."

"A few days?" I asked.

"Yeah, you had a mighty nasty nosebleed when they first got you in here. Looks like you're stable now. They don't know what happened...when did this start?"

"That morning I woke up, I had a nosebleed when I went into the bathroom. I cleaned it up thinking I was just dehydrated. I drank some water after it happened and cleaned up. Then I completed working on a ship in the bay and was going to lunch when I collapsed."

"Anything with...you know..."

"The implants? No. I havn't used them since..."

Dejesus got quiet and looked away.

"Well, call if you need anything, you know the number."

I nodded my head and he left the room. When I closed my eyes and tried to fall back asleep I hear something fall over in the room, I jumped up and looked to what had caused it. On the floor was a notebook with words written in them. I couldn't tell what they said so I climbed out of bed slowly and reached down to see what it was. When I read the words and dropped the notebook and backed up to the bed gasping.

"Ms. Katacuchi, you should not be out of bed!" said a nurse coming in from outside. I pointed at the notebook, but when I looked, there was nothing there.

"Get Joshua Dejesus back in here! NOW!"
