The nurse had just put her hand on his arm when he suddenly grabbed her by the throat and brought her face close to his. His eyes seemed to glow green, or perhaps it was a trick of the light. The medical student wasnt quite sure...
“What is this place?” He asked her. “Why are you dressed so strangely?”
“Hey! Let her go immediately!” The professor obviously felt like he was losing control of his all-controlled situation.
The man turned to the old professor without letting go of the woman. “Why are you so terrified?”
“Get out!” He roared.
“Why…are…you…so…terrified?” The man repeated himself slowly, patiently.
“Because you’re unsterile, you idiot! Your going to infect my patient, and he is going to die! Do you understand? You have to get out immediately!”
“I don’t understand you.” The man let the nurse go, and she seemed too terrified to do anything except back off into the corner and simply stare at him.
The medical student intervened at this point. “Prof, let me take care of him.”
“Go!” He agreed, and turned his back to the man. “Let me do my work, and I’ll handle that monkey as soon as I’m finished” He continued operating his patient as if nothing was happening.
The medical student took off her gloves and turned to the man “Sir?”
“You will address me as ‘my lord’, little sister.” The man growled.
“um. Okay, uh,” She still wore her mask, so her smile wasn’t visible. “Could you please do me a favour and follow me outside?”
“Why?” The man looked around him with some interest. “What is this place?”
"This is a operating theatre. That man on the table has been shot in the stomach, and we’re operating on him to save his life. Everything here has been specially cleaned to prevent him from getting an infection. You’re the only one here that hasn’t been cleaned, so you’re putting that man at risk of getting an infection now. This is why you need to come with me now. We don’t want him to die.”
He stared at her for a while. The professor huffed audibly but otherwise pretended they didn’t exist...
