"What are you doing here?" Nurse Reese asked, with a puzzled look on her synthetic face.
"Um... I... was" Nathan was interrupted midsentence by the nurse.
"You know you're not authorized to go into other apartments. What's going on? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"What do you care? You already left me to die once."
Nathan's fatigue must have gotten the best of him. He just blurted the truth out without caring about the fact that Nurse Reese could call security on him.
"I care, Nathan... and I didn't leave you to die. I left so she'll stop her crazy tantrum." Nurse Reese replied.
"What do you mean? Are you saying you didn't turn the power and Oxygen systems off?" Nathan suspected she didn't, but Borgina had been very convincing.
"Why would I? Listen, you should leave. I don't want the soldiers to find you here. I'm going to administer Becky's shot, after which I will be at your apartment. We can talk then." She replied.
"You don't know?" Nathan asked.
"Know what?" Nurse Reese looked truly puzzled.
"Becky was taken away this morning. He came to me at the weapon factory and talked about figuring something out. Before he could tell me what it was, the soldiers came and grabbed him. That's why I'm here. I'm trying to see if he left anything that could tell me what he figured out." Nathan said.
"Oh, no." Nurse Reese exclaimed. "This is all my fault."
