PP SYS Ch 5: Lusamine And Mohn
After the two hours had passed, Nurse Joy's Phone went off, and she pulled it out of her pocket to look at it. "It is time to meet with the Directors. Lusamine and Mohn are waiting for us below. I know that you probably want to get out and go, but you have to remember that you need time to grow."
I nodded my head and then slowly got out of bed, feeling a little bit better now that I had something in my stomach. I then followed Nurse Joy down to the first floor, where Lusamine was waiting for us with an impatient look on her face. "It is about time you two showed up." She looked over at me and gave me a smile. "You must be Landon."
"Yes," I said hesitantly as she crossed the room to stand in front of me, looking me up and down before speaking again.
"Nurse Joy has told us everything about you," she began as Mohn walked up behind her with his arms crossed over his chest, giving off an imposing figure. "We have decided that it is in your best interest if you stay here until we can find somewhere safe for you to go."
"To go? Why do I need a safe place to go? I just woke up, and I am not in a hospital, and you have explained none of what is going on. Why am I even here?" I asked, knowing most of the answers myself, but I shouldn't. I was also going to have to be careful how I talked so they would suspect anything was up with me. The last thing that I needed was for them to start running tests on me and find Cryo.
[I would prevent that from happening and help you create a plan to prevent such an event from occurring.] Cryo's voice said in my mind, and I agreed in my head.
"Cosmog, that is a sensitive subject," Lusamine said after a long pause, sounding hesitant now.
"That is the only connection I have to this place. I was allowed to see it before. Can I at least see Cosmog now? I need to know about it," I pleaded as I took a step toward her with my hands outstretched. "Please."
"Very well, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else about this," Mohn said as he stared at me intently, and Nurse Joy stepped forward with a worried expression on her face. "You are our best hope of controlling Cosmog so we can find and control the Ultra Beasts." He then turned towards Nurse Joy, who had an incredulous look on her face. "Do you understand?"
Nurse Joy hesitated for only a moment before giving Lusamine an angry look and then turning back towards Mohn with a 1000 watt smile on her face. "I understand."
"Very well, then follow us," Lusamine said as she turned on her heel and led Mohn out of the room with Nurse Joy behind them. I stood there for a few moments before following them, where we were led down a long hallway and into an elevator.
We rode it in silence to some undisclosed floor before finally exiting the elevator into another long hallway that was mostly dark except for fluorescent lights every ten feet or so in the ceiling. Each was casting eerie shadows along any wall that they touched, giving the place an eerie feel. We eventually stopped at a massive set of double doors at the end of this hall. Lusamine then turned and stared at me, giving me an abrupt smile. "This is it."
