Edward fully understood what Marcus Santosh was talking about regarding protection in the prison. He looked at the prison yard and could see various gang groups, most of whom were stealing glances at him. The Black Vipers weren't the only gang that bullied in the prison; there were many. The difference was that the Black Vipers were the biggest and the most feared. Linking up with them would give him protection. He wasn't ready to be an object of bullying.With his mind made up, Edward said to Santosh, "I agree to be part of you guys. You scratch my back, and I scratch yours. But I will want my friends to join too.""No problem. If you are with us, your friends are with us. No one would even dare think of hurting you while you're with us. You made the best choice for you and your friends, and the Black Vipers accept you," Marcus Santosh said and smiled at Edward.With this, they walked back to the dining hall together while Marcus showed Edward around the prison on their way. He showe
Looking at how serious the prison officer was, Edward had no choice but to follow him."What are you doing, Edward?" his friends asked as he stood up from his bed."I have to follow him. If anything happens to me, tell Marcus Santosh," Edward whispered to his friends. With that, he followed the prison officer, who guided him through the dark, lonely corridor of the prison to a destination he knew nothing about. Everywhere was silent; only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.As he walked, his heart was heaving with fear as he imagined what he was being called for. Were the nurses angry that he helped Marcus Santosh, thereby making their plans to take him to the medical center invalid? He wondered.They soon arrived at a brown door, and the prison officer opened it. Edward took the first step in and found himself in a large medical center, with hospital beds and medical facilities. The place was illuminated with dim blue lights, making it hard to see clearly. Suddenly, white li
Edward stared at the pair of green eyes locked on his in surprise."Doctor Tish, I really don't understand what you are doing," he said, taking a few steps back, his expression filled with shock."C'mon, Edward. In case you don't know, I have been watching you since the day you saved Marcus's life. Couldn't take my mind off you," she said, taking a step closer to him again, her breath hitting his chest.Edward froze in place as he stared at the beautiful goddess with a nice curve who was throwing herself at him. Was this real, or was it a setup to buy him into whatever game they were playing here in prison? Why would a beautiful damsel like this be all over him?"C'mon, boy. I know since you came to prison you haven't been with a woman. We can run things together.""I hope touching you wouldn't be considered assault, right?" she said, and before he could process what she said, Doctor Tish grabbed his cock with her hand, locking her eyes with his and smiling.The moment her hands grabb
As the nurses rained applause on Edward, Dr. Casel quietly turned and walked out of the medical center. He was too ashamed to stay by as he could already see some of the patients on the sick bed staring at him in disdain and mockery. Edward stood tall in the room, feeling like a genius. The nurses returned to their work, but he noticed the females stealing glances at him with a smile."You really did well. I was right about you?" Dr. Tish said to him with a smile. "I think we have to take a break," she said."Can you explain to me who that Casel guy is and why he is so angry with me?" Edward asked, confused."Yeah, I will when we both get to the dining hall to have breakfast. It's past 9 a.m. already, and I know you haven't had breakfast, so come on," she said.They both took off their lab coats and kept them safely, then ventured out of the medical center. They followed a staircase which led them to a beautifully decorated restaurant, with well-dressed people seated and eating while
"Where the hell have you been, bro?" Marcus Santosh said as Edward walked toward them. The Black Vipers all suspended their game and focused their attention on him. He looked mad stressed."Man, my friends didn't tell you I was at the medical center?" Edward replied, sinking into the seat tiredly."Your friends did tell me that you were called for questioning there. But what kind of questions took you so long? It's been hours already, bro.""Well, it wasn't actually questions. I was working.""Working? What kind of work?" Marcus asked, confused."I got a job at the medical center, and that was what I went for," Edward replied, making them stare at him in surprise."What, bro? You got a job and didn't tell us?" Junior asked."When?" Rodney added."Bro, not like that. I was invited last night and asked to take the job.""It doesn't matter if it was last night, bro. We are your brothers or at least your cellmates. You should have told us that," Rodney said.Gently, Marcus stood up from h
Edward was taken out of the hall by the SWAT team and they ventured through a narrow way, led by Dr. Natasha and the man in the black suit. The walk was silent; Natasha never looked back or talked to the man next to her, but Edward stared at her in confusion and disgust.Why was Natasha taking him away? What had he done? Did she have an ulterior motive for employing him? His mind began racing through what he and Marcus had been discussing before the interruption. It was clear to him now that Natasha was up to something, but he really didn't know what she was all about.Still, he remained calm. All he wanted was to get to wherever they were taking him and see what lay behind. He believed that no matter what, he and Marcus could get through it together.They soon stopped at a door which Natasha opened and stepped through first before they entered. Edward was greeted with a large room with seat occupied by some men. The men were all dressed in blue suits, screaming affluence, but among t
"What did they do to you in there?" Edward asked Marcus Santosh the moment he was released by the men who seized him."Just a bunch of doctors testing me in a machine, and I dunno why," Marcus replied angrily."It was because of the virus. They knew you had it, and that caused the panic. But don't worry, I already told them you can't infect others, and it seems like their tests have already proven that," Edward said to him. "You were right about Doctor Tish, though. I just discovered she's an agent of the CIA.""I told you!" Marcus confirmed. "What did they tell you there?""She was an agent sent by a politician to spy on me. The man's name is Mr. Smith, and he wants me to go heal his daughter, who has been affected by the virus," Edward replied, but Santosh suddenly wore a look of suspicion on his face again."And don't tell me you believe that, right?" he asked, eyes fixed on Edward as he awaited his reply."Of course I did. They showed me a photo of her. She's been badly affected b
"Wait. So you guys tricked me? If she isn't your daughter, then who is she?" Edward demanded, turning to the girl sitting silently on the bed, her head bowed. "Don't worry about her. It's not your concern. Come, let me show you something," Smith said. Edward followed him out of the room, with Doctor Tish and Inspector Fox close behind. "You see, Edward, I admire your spirit and intelligence. I've heard about your journey from a poor background and how your wife abandoned you. But none of that matters. Do you know why? Because you possess something invaluable—knowledge. The government doesn't care about people like us; all they do is serve their own interests. I'm sure you're aware this virus was engineered by them to control the world and profit from it. Use your talents and join me. Together, we could conquer the world, and I promise your descendants will never know poverty," Smith said. "Sir, I appreciate your advice, but I'm not interested in your agenda. I've healed the girl
