IC: Mike Adamson
County General was a hospital in the heart of downtown, and was regarded as the best in the city. It was needed. Officer Mike Adamson was a cop, had been for nearly two decades now. He'd run the beat of one of the worst parts of town in all that time, protecting and serving the community. Earlier he'd received an anonymous tip that a young woman had been abducted by some crazed psychopath in a warehouse on the corner of Franklin and Fourteenth street.
So he had checked it out. What he had found was...disturbing...was an understatement. He'd been a cop for a long time and saw the worst people could do, but this...this was something he'd never even considered he'd see. A group of homeless people arrayed in a circle stripped naked and horribly mutilated. Strange writing in their blood covering the concrete floor in a wide circle. He didn't recognize what it said. It was some kind of foreign language, and definitely not the Español he had learned way back in Mrs. Alvarez's class in his high school days. A man in only a bathrobe the knife used to cut open those people dripping blood was at the head of the circle. He was kneeling chanting some sort of freaky gibberish over the young woman stripped and lying in the very heart of the circle.
That was when Mike had pointed his gun at the man. He did not respond to the order to freeze. He did not respond to the order to drop the knife, or the order to drop to his knees and put his hands on the back of his head. The man just kept chanting higher and higher and when it reached a crescendo the girl in the center began convulsing and howling in...a truly soul-rending wail of utter agony and frustration and ecstasy. The man had lifted the dagger over her to plunge down into the poor shrieking and writhing woman. So, Mike, veteran of the force for almost twenty years, did the only thing he could do. He protected and served.
The man fell back with two bullets from Mike's gun in his chest. The perp was downstairs in the emergency room right now. His chances were fifty fifty on whether he'd survive to see the inside of a prison cell where homicidal scumbags like him belonged for the rest of their worthless lives.
It didn't really matter. At the moment Mike was only concerned with the fate of the perp's victim. The girl...identified as Gia. Was in the intensive care unit of the hospital. After he shot the murderous bastard she was still writhing and howling at the top of her lungs in...what sounded like a voice that was not human.
Ridiculous, of course. He had obviously misheard or just letting the creepy occult bullshit going on there get to his imagination. The girl had her eyes wide open but otherwise completely non-responsive when he came to her to see what first aid he could provide her. She wasn't cut or injured though she was covered in more of that freaky writing in the homeless people's blood. So until the paramedics arrived he laid his jacket over her nudity and tried to hold her convulsing body.
Now she lay in a hospital bed. The doctors weren't sure what had happened to her. They thought she was drugged...though none knew of a drug that would leave someone in a trance-like state while leaving them in a constant orgasmic state at the same time. Those were the convulsions she'd been experiencing all this time. They worried they would leave her dehydrated though they did not want to risk anything more than an IV of saline to keep her body hydrated without knowing what if any drug was in her system.
Now after going through hours of whatever drug's ordeal...however, the orgasms seemed to be subsiding leaving her in an exhausted state. She stirred eyes focusing shifting looking at him.
"Doctor," He called through the door to the doctor who was on the phone expediting her bloodwork in the lab downstairs. "She's awake."
In the meantime he shifted forward in the chair and nodded to her. "You're in County General, Ma'am. You were drugged or something. You're going to be alright now."
He shifted again in his seat a little uncomfortable at the way her eyes were scanning over him. She was checking him out. he tried to dismiss it remembering what his father told him when he joined the force. Chicks dig the uniform, but not the job. He'd found that out the hard way for himself. His own marriage had ended in divorce papers a month ago. Her eyes settled on the pale band of skin that until a few weeks ago was home to his wedding ring.
A man couldn't have two wives, and as he found out when Claire had told him the last time a bulletproof vest had saved her from becoming a widow his first and only wife would always be the badge. She couldn't live with second place.
To the girl...to Gia...he asked quietly, "Do you remember what happened to you?"
