Skill Overdose

Chapter 13 - Strange Things

Somewhere In The Hospital.

"Hey! Where are you going again. We just came from the security office." The young blonde-haired police officer said to his partner exasperated by him.

"WE just SAW a man came out from the elevator on the VIP floor. And that elevator was empty from the first floor up to the floor before the VIP floor. It's enigmatic." The black-haired police officer who looks like in his early 30's said to his partner with a subtle expression.

"Argh! This again. What if the CCTV had a bug that time. Hais. Okay. Is it your mystery time now? Should I call you Detective? Or should I call you the one and only and the great... Inspector Wright?"

"Stop it Evan. Lets just go to the VIP floor... and let's investigate that guy,"

Inspector Wright or Derek Wright has been a police officer for almost a decade. He bacame an inspector when the higher ranks saw his great potential at investigation. He is the youngest yet one of the greatest Inspector there are in the country.

He used to be into crime investigation but suddenly it changed into a strange one when he saw a criminal break from a handcuff and jumped to the other side of a wall. The higher rank officer would definitely not believe it if he doesn't have an evidence but fortunately, a random citizen filmed it entirely.

That is just one of the dozens of evidence of strange happening that he got from most of his investigation. The officer does not dare to state it to public as it will create a chaos to the world.

"But this time we will just ask some questions about the "strange things" that is happening everywhere." Inspector Wright declared.

"What!? Why don't we ask him in prison. Oh right. He didn't comit a crime. We just came to talk to him. Nice." The blonde-haired guy named Evan decided to just follow his partner's strange decision.

Inside the VIP room.

CREAK

"I'm here Liam. Hoy are y- WHAT THE HELL! Why the f**k are you already wearing a casual attire!Where is your bandages you stupid little!" Ian was the one who came inside and he was really angry and anxious when he saw Liam with no bandages.

"Hey! Calm down! Okay. I'm fine." Liam blurted.

"How can I!? You have MAJOR INJURIES in your body. Where's the doctor and nurses!? I'll complain them."

Liam was tired of hearing his best friend's cry so he stood up and slid down the shoulder part of his shirt and so the smooth scar on his shoulder can be seen.

"Wha- How? It's healed. How Liam? It's not even a day since your operation? How is it that your injury is... " Ian questioned him multiple times.

Liam made Ian calm down but what's next is his questions that needs an immediate answer.

"Don't you know that there is a treatment where the wounds heal many times faster than the ordinary?"

Fortunately, After waking up he already made an excuse to say to Ian. Of course it was just a lie.

"Of course I know that but we are one of the minor countries in Asia. It costs a fortune. How can we have that godly treatment? And even so that treatment will heal a major injury in one to two days time. And you have many injuries and it's not even a day!" Ian said confusingly.

A century ago, Great scientists from a major country in America had discovered something and made a way to fully heals a person's major injuries and completely cure a person's disease. When all the people in the world from that time heard about it they were hopeful and thought that it was a heaven-sent thing but unfortunately, the injuries treatment costs from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 and the godly cure to diseases costs $5,000,000,000 to $100,000,000,000 and it is only available in the major countries of a continent so only the wealthiest of the wealthy people can only have it and the poor ones can only feel despair in their heart.

In Liam's country, most people were not very wealthy but were also not so poor. The ric.h.e.s.t people in the country can surely go to the major countries in the continent and get the treatment but the rest of the citizens could only hope that the price of the treatment will go down.

"I... Don't know about that." Liam replied.

"Argh! Forget it. I can't think of anything rught now. As long as you're fine." Ian exclaimed.

'Mission Complete! hehe.'

Liam planned to make Ian be calm because as long as Ian calm down, he would just forget about his current problems.

After a while, They sat down on the bed and talked about some great things to make the atmosphere good.

Ian decided to go home now because it was late at night right now but it was interrupted when a knock can be heard from the door.

"It must be the doctor or the nurse. I shall thank them." Ian said to Liam happily

"Y-yeah! Good. Nice." He replied.

"Eh? Why did you suddenly covered your body with a blanket?"

"Ah! The air conditioner is really cold. hehe."

"Hm. Ok. I'm gonna thanked them now."

"A-actually! You don't need to thank them. I already did that. You just need to left this building immediately... Okay?"

Liam didn't planned this. He would have to have the bandages on himself before the doctors or nurses came in but Ian is here so doesn't have time to put the bandages on.

"Okay? You're being weird."

KNOCK KNOCK

"I'll open it now." Ian said it as he walked towards the door and open it quickly.

CREAK

The door was opened and what appeared are the police officers earlier.

"Police?" Ian slightly tilted his head in question.

"Excuse me sir. Officer Dole here. Can we ask some question to that mister over there." The blonde-haired guy requested.

"What's the problem with him Officer Dole?" Ian asked.

"There's none sir but we need to ask him about our investigation. It's more like that he is a witness."

"He is currently resting." Ian exclaimed.

"But this is urgent sir." Officer Dole also said it f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y.

'What the hell is happening right now.'

Liam is still lying down in the bed and he is still covered by the blanket.

He didn't know if he should laugh or cry. There's no doctor or nurse outside his room but there are a police officers.

"Don't you know me? I'm Ian Hanes from the Neo Plaster company. So you should definitely leave right now." Ian said with an annoyed look.

"S-sir Hanes!?" Officer Dole was shocked when he heard the said name and immediately bowed his head slightly.

"I-I'm sorr-"

"I'm sorry kid but this is part of an important investigation of the police department." Inspector Wright interrupted his partner's apology to Ian without caring about his background at all.

"I just told you that he's currently resting." Ian was furious when he was still struggling to get the officers to leave.

"If you still didn't leave this building in a minute." Ian continued his threat

"What you're gonna tell your father? Listen kid. Your father is a respectable person and he is quite famous in the whole continent of Asia but don't use your father's name to scare us officers because WE are also a respectable person in the whole world that could save your comfortable life when it's in danger so please excuse me because I will ask him about important things." Inspector Wright didn't wait for the Ian's threat to finish so he quickly interrupted his talking again and quickly said something to hurt him mentally.

Ian was speechless. He was stunned by the inspector's word. He didn't know that a mere talk could hurt him this bad. He was furious but he can't let it overcome him and let it out the inspector because the inspector... is still calm even after the talk.

Inspector Wright saw Ian was stiff so he immediately walked inside the room without caring at him at all.

Ian was more furious than earlier because he have been ignored by the inspector. He followed him inside and held his shoulder. That is the sign of a coming fight.

Ever since his father told him not to fight back, he didn't fight back. Even when someone bullies him in school. Since the day that a bully pushed him to his edge, He always tells his father's name to make them shut up. But this time that his father's have no use, what can he do? Do he need to fight back? Of course, he needs to fight back.

He grabbed Inspector Wrighy's shoulder and pulled him with a great force.

Inspector Wright turned around and saw Ian's face with no expression but his eyes are different. Its like there is a fire within it. He pushed his hand that was held onto his shoulder and pushed him away.

"What are you doing kid."

"F**k you!"

Ian formed a fist and aimed it directly towards Inspector Wright's face.

Inspector Wright thought that his partner would stop the kid but he was still at the door and there is no time to catch up his fist so he decided to do a counter attack to Ian and arrest him.

Ian was really eager to fight the guy in front of him. It was a very long since he got very furious and it was also a very long time since he decided to fight someone.

His fist is tightly clenched and it is moving at a fast speed.

Inspector Wright was already prepared to blocked it and gently attacked Ian.

PWHACK

His fist hit something. It was a hand. A hand of his best friend, Liam.

'SO FAST!'

Incredibly fast. That is what the three thought.

Officer Dole, Inspector Wright and Ian thought the same thing. They were all dumbfounded when Liam suddenly came out of nowhere and blocked his punch.

How can this be? A person who just healed his injuries moved fast and blocked a punch. A person who looks like a student blocked a punch from the side. A person who was just resting at the bed earlier got up but no one saw him and he blocked a punch.

"You can't punch an officer Ian. Even with your status. So calm down." Liam said calmly as he pushed down Ian's fist.

"L-Liam?" Ian is really confused. How can his friend be so calm when I'm not.

"H-How?" Officer Dole who was just running to stop Ian earlier asked Liam.

"Excuse me but can we talk to you in private?" Inspector Wright cleared his thoughts and immediately asked Liam calmly.

'Damn! This guy is so calm! I really admire him now.'

Before Liam replied, he glance at Ian and told him that he cam go to his house now because it's getting really dark outside.

Ian was hesitant at first but when he saw Liam's calm expression, he decided to go home because his expression, especially his eyes was like a voice that tells him everything would be just fine.

"Let's talk here then." Liam finally replied.

Earlier, when Liam knew that it was the police outside his room, he was kind of scared. But when Inspector Wright talk back to his best friend Ian, he was in awe. Just from his talks, a sudden respect to Inspector Wright formed inside his heart and so he was not scared anymore.

The officers sat on the sofa in the corner of the room and Liam sat on a chair opposite to them.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Inspector Wright said.

"So what should we talk about? Inspector..."

"Inspector Derek Wright from the National Police Department. We would like to ask you about the strange things that is currently occuring in the whole country or you can say in the whole world."

"What exactly is the strange things you're asking about?"

Inspector looked directly to Liam's eyes that says he was innocent at this kind of things so he glance at his partner and gestured something to him.

"Strange Things like a man breaking his handcuff and jumping into a three meter wall. Strange Things like a man bending a thick and round metal bar. Strange things like a man punching and breaking a 5 inch thick brick with his b.a.r.e hands."

"What are you blabbering about?"

Liam was skeptical when he heard about it but he remembered that the man he killed also had some incredible and extraordinary skills. even so, he pretended to not know about it.

As liam said it, a nurse came in and gave a backpack to the other officer.

Officer Dole grabbed something from inside and placed it on top of the small table in front of them. It was a military laptop.

"This is one of our military laptops that contains secret information about the strange things I was talking about. And the people who do strange things arw called "Neowight" in all of the national police departments in the whole world."

'Neowight... Am I one of them?'
