Chapter 13: Experiments
Mar 2012, 7 Eastbourne Rd.
Marco ran up to Levi’s flat and pushed the door open in a hurry.
"LEVI!" He yelled, his jaw dropped instantly when he saw his best friend tied to a wooden chair in the middle of the living room, eyes close and unmoving. His legs were taped to the foot of the wooden chair, arms fastened on the armrest, and another tape over his mouth forcing his silence.
Panic enveloped Marco in a heartbeat.
Was he still alive?
He is not moving.
Who did this?!
He leapt towards Levi, ready to give him CPR if needed.
When his hand reached Levi’s shoulder, the criminal psychologist’s eyes snapped open in annoyance. He mumbled under the tape covering his mouth.
’Hmm hemsm hwmmm smff!’ Levi tried to say, earning a confused look from Marco.
"Oh, hey Marco!" Sam greeted from across the kitchen. A syringe in hand, she waved at him--she was in the middle of examining Levi’s blood, which she extracted just moments ago.
It was her bargain with Levi in exchange that she would allow him to use her private Laboratory in Guy’s, and he in exchange will allow her to do her experiments on him. Nothing inconsequential, of course. She was trying to prove that his ’no eating’ during case choice, was disadvantageous in the long run.
