Your mother is having none of it.

Chapter by Switcher

===================================================================================================================

"I'm not going anywhere!" your mother suddenly stated rather emphatically. "And until you tell me what that thing is..." (she pointed to the device the goateed man was holding over your unconscious body) "...you're not using it on my son!" she continued.

"Its just something for monitoring neural activity, that's all ma'am, your son is in a coma and we need to know why" the doctor explained.

"I've never seen anything like that before!" Rebecca weighed into the conversation.

The doctor laughed a little. "Well, excuse me but I seriously doubt either of you two ladies have any medical experience" he said condescendingly, causing your mother to arch an eyebrow in disapproval. "I was going to say the same thing about you actually...'doctor'" your mother said, folding her arms and striking a confident pose.

"Nurse...please..." the doctor turned to you, gesturing to your mother and Rebecca.

"Er...SHE'S not taking us anywhere!" your mother emphasized, cutting him off mid-sentence.

The man in the suit suddenly began putting the device back in its case, and then he shared a glance with the doctor, who then turned to your mother again. "May I have a private word with you ma'am?" he asked, "I understand your concerns" he added, gesturing out of the room and in the direction of one of the empty side rooms, the door to which was open.

You instinctively tugged on your mother's top, in a sense warning her not to go anywhere alone with the man.

By this time Rebecca was feeling the pressure, and had momentarily left the room to calm down a little, leaving you and your mother standing in the room with the two men, and your own comatosed body.
