he answered for her.
“I’m opening her file now.” The woman paused. “Vera Ann Wade. Twenty-seven. Born on Mars Colony. Civilian worker as a drone pilot and mechanic. No known illnesses and her last annual exam happened three months ago. She got an all clear. That’s good.”
The big alien holding her moved, she slipped in his arms before he adjusted to get a better grip on her. She was too weak to fight as he manipulated her until she lay on her side, facing his taller, bulkier body.
“Stop gawking,” the woman snapped to someone. “Get him something to cover his groin.” Then that voice drew closer. “Vera, I’m Doctor Cynthia Kane. You’re onboard Defcon Red. Can you tell me what your symptoms are?”
She buried her face against her alien’s chest, shaking, and tried to speak. Nothing came out.
The alien she clung to spoke for her. “She seems to be having vision problems, is seeing things that aren’t there, and has a difficult time distinguishing between reality and fantasy. She’s also constantly trembling.”
“I’m reading the medical files that are being uploaded from the surface.” Dr. Kane suddenly cursed. “Fucking Brilon.”
Something touched Vera’s thigh, and she screamed.
The large arm around her middle tightened and the alien pulled her closer. “You are safe. It was just another human covering my rod.”
“Your what?” she whispered.
“His dick,” another female voice stated, startling her. “Mr. Roth here just carried you straight from the decontamination chamber without waiting to get dressed.”
“Roth?” She was confused.
“Me,” her alien grunted. “That’s my name. Remember?”
“No.” She didn’t.
“So, it looks like Brilon is responsible.”
“Who?” That was Roth, her alien, and he sounded as mad as Dr. Kane.
“It’s a pharmaceutical company that puts out shit products,” said a male voice. “You wouldn’t know this since you’re Veslor, but five years ago, they somehow got a pain medication approved. Turned out it was highly addictive and caused internal bleeding with extended use. A few thousand people died before they realized the cause. What we’re detecting inside this patient is one of their drugs that didn’t get approved for use. How in the hell did she gain access to a banned drug?” The male voice sounded closer. “Miss Wade, who was the person who sold this drug to you?”
“She didn’t buy it,” her alien answered. “All the humans down on the surface were dosed with this drug. They were attempting to investigate how they were exposed. My grouping and the other human tactical teams are down there searching for the source. Their doctor left notes, stating it was an act of terrorism. Can you help this female?”
“I’m going to flush out her system and pray it works,” Dr. Kane stated, somewhere behind Vera. “All we know is who made the drug and that it failed trials. Those incompetent idiots at Brilon keep horrible records. They didn’t even share the original purpose of this drug. The scans aren’t showing any organ failure so far or internal bleeding. Just keep her still while we sedate her, Mr. Roth.”
The big body against hers tensed. “Is that safe? My medic didn’t believe so. Something about bad vitals.”
“We can’t treat her with her clinging to you like a spider monkey. It will be fine.” Dr. Kane sounded irritated.
Vera panicked again. They were going to knock her out. “Don’t leave me!” She tried to burrow closer her alien, her nails digging into the skin of his arm.
He held her tighter. “I won’t leave you. I’ll be right here. You have my word, Vera.”
Something jabbed her in the butt. Vera screamed. Then she passed out.
Roth growled as the female became lax against him. The four medical personnel were watching the monitors. He turned his head, staring at the sleeping female. Vera breathed slow and deep.
He carefully removed her hands from his body, ignoring the fresh tiny scratches she’d put on his chest and arm. He rolled off the bed, keeping the thin sheet in place that a female medical worker had draped over his middle, to cover his rod.
Dr. Kane turned, openly appraising his body. “You can go now, Mr. Roth. Thank you for your assistance. Our patient is currently stable.”
He shook his head. “I gave my word to stay with this female. I’m not leaving Vera. What does flushing her mean?”
The doctor moved closer. She was tall for a human but still had to look up at him. “We’re going to push fluids through her body to try to remove the drug. I’m still studying some of the files that are being
