"She fell? From what distance" Doctor Miracle inquired and gestured at the nurse beside us to get something
"Just from my office desk to the floor which isn't that far but after lunch she was feeling fine....We even played games and all so i don't know what happened"
I was filled with saddened emotions and confusion but most of all I was disappointed at my carelessness for not knowing that something was wrong until it got to this point
"From your office table to the floor, is that were she got all these cuts and bruises, from the fall? I kind of find that hard to believe but I'll take your word for it"
"!!" I said nothing in return
"Since you guys were together it couldn't have been food poisoning and I'm assuming that you took a taste of her food right?"
"Yes doctor, I did" I nodded
"Okay, nurse Charity!" She called the nurse who was standing next to us with her pen and paper ready
"Yes Doctor Miracle"
"Note this down, patient, young female of... How old is she sir?" Doctor Miracle asked me
"Ten years doctor" I replied hurriedly
"And how long did the spasm last for?"
"About ten minutes or so " I replied nervously
"OK. Young female, ten years old, fell from an office desk, possible head trauma and hours later went into an uncontrollable seizure which lasted for ten minutes but could have been more. Got it?" She turned over to the nurse for confirmation
"Yes, got it doctor"
"That will be all then. Take Mr Nevel to the other end of the counter and let him fill the report then tell them to prep the MRI room for me ASAP, I want to know what's going on in there and also get her wounds covered up"
"Alright doctor"
Doctor Miracle turned around and faced the students and pulled out her hands from her coat again followed by a *CLAP* to grab their attention
"Okay, which one of you wants to be my little assistant for today and get some hands on experience?" Miracle asked and the students started to murmur amongst themselves while trying to avoid eye contact as they weren't ready for any of what was going to happen.
They continued to act oblivious and shy until one of them from the back raised her hand and Miracle pointed her out "You! What's your name?"
"It's Vanessa doctor" The oval face shaped girl with golden brown hair that stopped at her shoulder level and blue glasses that really made her matching blue eyes to pop spoke with confidence
"I see that we have an overachiever with us today, well that's good, I was and still am one myself... You have to be if you want to put these guys in their place" Miracle smiled at Vanessa who then gave an awkward smile back
"You are going to be my little assistant today so come over here and everyone let's go... Everyone follow me" Miracle said then waited for Vanessa to join her in front before leading the team of medical students to the next room
*STEP*
After taking a couple steps forward Miracle stopped and turned around to look at Brian and then turned her head to the counter gesturing with her eyes then she turned back and left with the students
"Follow me Mr Nevel" A different nurse from the one who took notes for Miracle approached me with a notepad in her hand asking me to fill the forms.

Meanwhile, in the MRI room. Everything had already been set up and Amanda had already been placed inside the MRI machine as Miracle prepped herself for the scanning process
"Nurse, get me the scanner over there, you know the one" Miracle asked gesturing below the counter by the wall which had drawers underneath it
The nurse went over and brought a small hand held black scanner with her and gave it to Miracle who used it to scan around Amanda's head area in search of her Dot Log Chip and finally locating the position of the Chip which was around her neck just below the ear then she marked it with a marker pen.
There was a little scar from the Dot Log implant to show the doctor where the implant was without using the scanner but as a doctor she needed to be a hundred percent certain and that it wasn't a birthmark or from something else.
Also the scanner have her some information about the position of the Dot Log Chip that just looking at the scar placement wouldn't have
Miracle then turned the scanner around and pulled out a small cartridge like shaped item from the bottom of the handle then gave back the scanner to the nurse who then returned it to its original location
"Um doctor, what are you going to do with that?" Vanessa asked with a curious look adjusting her glasses while she waited for a reply
"Kid...Vanessa was it?"
"Yes doctor"
"Have you gotten your Dot Log chips implants yet?" She said as she configured certain coordinates she got on the scanner on the cartridge
"No doctor, not yet, why?"
Miracle sighed then asked with a serious expression "Loaded question, what would happen if you have something metallic near the MRI when its turned on?" She asked while she inputted the final value on the cartridge
"It will get sucked out by the shear magnetic force of the MRI doctor" Vanessa replied
"You are competent, that's good then answer me this...what would happen if said metallic item was let's say, implanted somewhere around your neck?" After the final number was inputted the cartridge lit up yellow by the side indicating it's activation
"It would...Um... It would get sucked out by the MRI" Vanessa replied bashfully
"In a violent manner at that, damaging some nerves and blood vessels on its way out and if not treated swiftly the patient could die. Never forget that"
"Sorry doctor"
Miracle looked at Vanessa through the sides of her eye then sighed "What's with the face? Cheer up kid... Unlike your friends over at the other side you are actually getting pieces of useful information" With a smile she used her finger to flick Vanessa's chin up.
"Th—they aren't really my friends but okay Doctor" Vanessa let out a nervous half smile and adjusted her glasses
"Yes... As for your earlier question" Miracle raised the cartridge and held it in front of Vanessa's face
"What this is is an EMFO, Electromagnetic Field Obstructor specifically made by the GHA along with the scanners it's attached to for these types of situation and what it does is that on getting within a considerable distace from an implanted Dot Log chip it creates a field around it from the coordinates inputted so it doesn't affect the flesh surrounding the chip and counteracts any incoming electromagnetic field lines and prevents both electric and magnetic influence"
"Ooh, OK doctor so that means that while using the coordinates from the scanner it creates the field in the tiny space between the surface of the Dot Log Chip and the flesh surrounding it" Vanessa blinked multiple times at the explanation
Miracle flicked the cartridge through her fingers like a gambler before she dropped her hand "So is that all or do you have anything more that you would like to ask... No? Then lets get on with our work shall we" she smiled
Miracle placed the EMFO on the mark she made on Amanda's neck then she turned it on which displayed a blue light at the other end and then bonded with the skin so that it doesn't move.
The cartridge was also impervious to electric and magnetic influence so turning on the MRI wouldn't have moved it from where it was and even if something else did the vector coordinates of the field wouldn't change as they were the coordinates of the chip from the skin
Yellow showed that the cartridge had been configured based on the information the scanner provided about the chips vector location while blue showed that it had been activated once within range of the implanted chip and that the field had covered the chip. The shade of blue darkened on the final step
Amanda was already inside the MRI machine and the nurse had already returned the scanner to a safe location which was out of reach from the electromagnetic force of attraction the machine would generate.
*WAVE*
Miracle signalled the operators at the other side of the glass and on cue they turned on the machine and Miracle as well as Vanessa walked over to the monitors to look at Amanda's neuroimagery.
I was allowed to be present while they conducted the test and after the whole process was done Miracle walked up to me and with a stern voice she said to me
"We are done with everything so we will keep her in one of the empty rooms until she regains consciousness and once we get the results I will inform you about it. Also when we see fit she will be discharged to go home"
"Thank you doctor" I shook her hands
"No problem... As for you, you can go home and come check up on her tomorrow"
"Don't worry doctor, I will stay the night here"
"Alright" Miracle and the other students left the room and Amanda was pulled out of the MRI and taken to one of the rooms in the hospital.
I followed them and spent the night watching her from the chair in the room.
"Please don't leave me Amanda, you're all I have left and I'll be willing to do anything just to make sure that you're okay" I cried as I prayed
<End of Brian's POV>
*BLINK*I opened my eyes gently, taking my time before the shape of open eyes were fully realized and the first thing I saw were strange and unfamiliar ceiling patterns."Where am I?" I spoke out softly without any strength in my wordsThe room was considerably in low lighting so that my eyes wouldn't hurt because of light adjustment when I open themStill having no idea what my current location was or why I was there lying on my back I thought of the best option which was to think logically.I couldn't really move my body the way I wanted but with the few minute motions I could make I decided to go with them and what I could move with the strength I had was just my fingers and maybe my hand a bit with my eyes and headBecause of how high I assumed I was and the warmth and texture of what I was laying on and the way it felt on my skin and fingers I concluded that I was on a be
It finally happened, Brian's jaw dropped and his shoulders became deflated "Brain damaged? What do you mean brain damaged? How can a couple of seizures result to that?""Calm down Mr Nevel or do you want Amanda to hear you" Miracle leaned back and closed the door completely *CLICK*"I'm saying that brain damage is a possible outcome but I'm not a hundred percent certain, this is uncharted territory after all. We could make a medical breakthrough tomorrow or in the next hour somewhere else in the world nobody knows" she said as she placed her hand on his shoulder "Are you calm now?""...""Sometimes miracles that go beyond the scope of science can happen. Amanda might just wake up in the morning without any trace of the intrusive set of brainwaves anymore and this will all turn into a bad memory to laugh about in years to come" She gave a reassuring smile"!!"Miracle after see
*TSK*"These are starting to get uncomfortable" Using the heel of one foot to press against the tip of the other foot I took off both shoes and felt the cold of the floor on the bottom of my feet which got me more relaxed as I moved my shoulders and rolled my head cracking my neck in the process *CRACK**CRACK*With one foot planted on the floor I raised the other with only the toes making contact with the floor then I moved the leg around causing my ankle to crack and free up until I was satisfied then I alternated and did the same for the other foot"Now that's better" I smiled*STEP*I picked up the shoes and walked a little further in the corridor before I came to the spot where I was having three room doors in front of me, two to my left and one to my right spaced in the the order that the first was by the left then the next by the right and finally the last by the left a
"You want to prove difficult huh? I guess that you must not know who you're dealing with but I'll let you know anyway, I'm motherfucking Samuels" I said under a breath then smiled and took out one of the two hair pins I had in my hair.There were three originally but something must have happened to one from all the things that happened today.I bent and arranged the pin in the right manner for the job then jammed it into the keyhole and started to jiggle in a particular pattern which was meant for lock-picking until I heard the *CLICK*A skill I learnt when I was a kid in the orphanage and used when we wanted to play with our presents the guardians hid from us until it was ChristmasThe moment the door was unlocked I got another rush of mixed emotions from Amanda but that wasn't going to stop me from my quest so I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly to calm myself."You're not going
*GASP*The sight of the gun caused my heart to skip a beat and accompanying that experience was a mini heart attack as my sight became hazy and I gasped for air and started to pant.The cold and the hard texture of the gun in my hand against the skin of my palm caused my veins to firm up trying to force more blood to flow to my palm in order to warm it up."He actually wanted and tried to go this far" I dropped the gun on the floor beside me gently and laid down on my back and faced the ceiling with my hands netted and placed my my stamach.Too many emotions and questions ran through my head and they wouldn't let me think of the plan I needed the Black box codes or how to execute it..Thirty minutes passed and I was still lying down in deep thought. The time now was almost getting to 2am in the morning and I was so mentally and physically drained that I didn't realize whe
*KCHH*I gritted my teeth and groanedThe bullet flew right through my hand leaving a clean hole as it's entry and exit points and me in a lot of pain"F*CK!!" I shouted as I crunched over pressing my injured hand between my other hand and my abdomen bloodying my shirt then I took the towel and wrapped around my injured hand and wound firmly but in the process the pain was so unbearable that I almost dropped the gun and drop on my knees as well and all the while Brian was left speechless and in awe as he looked at me."W-What did you do?"*RING* *RING*The house telephone behind Brian rang out filling the entire room but it couldn't do anything to change the intense atmosphere.*PANT* *PANT*"D-Don't touch it... let it go to v-voicemail" I spoke out with a cracking voice after I successfully managed to stop the bleeding while constantly panting an
*STEP*Brian walked out of the house completely infuriated and confused wondering if what just happened moments earlier was even real or he was still in bed having an existential crisis type dream.He couldn't tell if it was really someone else controlling his baby girl or if it was the thing in her brain that was causing the change in personality but it was too erratic to be coincident.*Ahh*He exhaled as he rubbed his hand against his forehead in a circular pattern then he brought out the flashdrive from his trouser pocket and looked at it scrutiny wise observing each area of it "there's no way that my Amanda could have made a programmed execution-on-insertion flashdrive like this and those things I found in her backpack as well..."He fell his hand to his thigh in hopeless subjugation and raised his head to face the clouds as he sighed "please, not again!"His dreadf
Whenever he was with Gabriel Valestein Jerry Stringer usually goes from the role and persona of a security official to a dignified Butler and even the way he speaks changes to fit the role. This showed how much respect and revere he had for Valestein"Umm... sorry... it's nothing, I was just talking to this kid who said his stuff were seized...""...Where are my manners good morning Mr. Jerry" He continued to bow his head a bit and greet Jerry who was behind Valestein and he was also replied with a "Good morning Mr Nevel" and a small head bow as well"Do not get all stuffy Jerry, Brian must be going through a lot so we can at least things easier for him" Valestein smiled"If I am not mistaken I heard you say a property was seized? Why and by whom?" Valestein asked with a tone which you could tell that he was serious but it still came out playfully as he squated down to Brian's and Michael's level<
