Green tea Kit-Kats? Gross. Joel made a beeline for the couch and plopped down. The exhaustion was setting in quick. He shook his head at the suggestion of a new therapist.
"I don't think mine is on whatever this is. She was the one that gave me those files about that doctor Frankensteining me."
"Frankenstein's monstering, you mean. Frankenstein was the doctor." Doug was standing next to Grim with his arms crossed, smug. Joel scowled.
"Now riddle me this, Batman: what makes you think the good doctor stopped at you? Or the hospital for that matter? There's only so many poor, lonely bastards who's bodies won't be missed by a grieving family. Suppose he and whoever else he's working with found a way to bolster their numbers. Like kidnapping people wholesale off the street. Live, fresh test subjects are better than dead and brain damaged ones.""Holy shit, you're right," Joel's eyes grew wide at the realization. He looked back at Grim, "Those bodies we found tonight were all wearing those metal bands, the same bands I took from that apartment. They were using them for identification, just like a hospital band. Ellison, and whoever else he is working with, is directly responsible for killing those people, the kidnappings,
everything. And it's been happening for, at the very minimum,
three years!"
He felt a little sick again. How could this have gone on for so long without anyone noticing?
