37 Doctor

"Any clue?" Danny asks me as he runs towards me.

I shake my head in denial. For the past hour, we searched everywhere we could, but we haven't found a single thing that may lead to her disappearance.

"Man, where could she have gone?" he mutters that and again starts heading in some other direction to look. But,

"Danny, I have a question." I say that and stop him. He just looks back at me and urges me to ask. "When that doctor got angry on one of the two brothers for disturbing him, and then refused to treat his brother because he had gotten in a foul mood, what did you think?"

Danny looks up and starts to mull over the question I just asked.

"Did you feel as disgusted with him as you think you should have?" I ask further to clarify my question.

While, right now, I can get as disgusted with him as I want to, at that moment, it didn't feel like that. In the commotion that was going on, I didn't notice this too much and Danny (possibly) didn't either.

"I didn't feel disgusted at all." He answers after thinking for a moment.

"Why could that be? Do you have any clue?" I ask. But,

"I do have a clue." He says with a grim expression, "And it's something I really don't want to consider, but might have to."

At present, when we are already dealing with the problem of Adonia disappearing plus we don't know how exactly are supposed to save Roswaisa in the futre, caring about that doctor is something we can't spend much time on. But,

"Now that you have said it Irium," Danny, with a face turning from grim to horrified, says, "Adonia's disappearance and this can be connected."

"Wait! How?" I ask, surprised by his words.

The sun is red right now, and his face is blue. He then says to me.

"Come with me." he says and starts running ahead. I don't argue and start following him. It seems like he is running towards where the clinic is. We aren't very far from the clinic to be honest. If getting there is his goal, it won't take that much time.

However, unlike a cliched cut-off where no one knows what's really going on, Danny actually answers my last question, "I think the doctor may have MADE her disappear."

*****

"Where's the doctor!?" Danny huffs as he asks the younger brother.

"He's … uh, treating my brother." the younger brother somehow manages to say that, despite not being very good at English. And as he hears that, Danny immediately runs to the doctor's chamber. He gets stopped by the guards however.

"Tsk!" he clicks his tongue in annoyance at that and motions me to go in there.

I do so. He holds the guards back as I enter the chamber. I have no idea what to actually do here but I trust him and enter. And,

"…"

I stare silently at the place.

"What do you see there, Irium? Tell me!" Danny shouts from out there and I can clearly understand why he was in such a rush to come here.

"Hey, answer!" he yells as he is unable to come in. Then, the hands of one of the two guards falls on my shoulder and he drags me back outside.

There, as I fall on the ground, Danny and the younger brother come and ask together, "Did you see something in there?"

"Yeah!" I say with a breaking smile, a smile that is definitely not out of happiness.

"It's just as Danny suspected." I say. Danny's eyes grow wide. The younger brother though, not understanding what I meant, asks for clarification. And so I give him clarification.

"Your brother is completely fine now."

He hears me say so and gets up. His face is filled with surprise and happiness. Of course, it'd be. He may not realize it now though - how less surprised he is.

"It really is true, huh?" Danny asks. I nod.

Yeah, it is true, alright? A dead person that was that elder brother has now come back to life. And the doctor,

"He's not in there." I say as I look at him. He clicks his tongue and,

"I suspected that much."

For whatever it is we are supposed to do in the 1856 India, we have no idea so far. However, we have found at least one thing that might lead us to the answer. That doctor is no ordinary person. For what it's worth,

"He definitely has some supernatural abilities too." Danny says with a grim face.

I am terrified right now of what the truth may hold for us. I am also worried as to where Adonia is. I am also anxious as to how we are supposed to save Roswaisa. And I am also shocked about the truth that the doctor is not an ordinary person, and we just now realized it.

"Hey, you two!" the younger brother comes and says with a smile. "I found the woman you were looking for."

He says, causing both of us to be shocked. I immediately get up as I hear that and he continues,

"She was inside there all along."

We look at each other and immediately start running. This time, the guards don't try to stop us either and so we both enter into the chamber. There, we find Adonia, who was definitely not here when I came in, sitting casually on the chair the doctor is supposed to be seated at.

"…"

"…"

We both remain silent at that site and,

"Uh," she says as she looks at us and tilts her head, "do I know you two?"
