Is she mine?

Why the fuck didn't you tell me?!

You were fucking married!

...you're dying.

A gasp escaped his lips as his eyes popped open. Adrenaline rushed inside his body, pints and pints of his blood rushed to his brain, rendering him unable to see anything.

"Deep breath," said Delia in a soothing voice as she took down electrodes from his head, "breathe."

By the time he regained his normal composure, Gary saw all pair of eyes starting down at him. Ash, Serena, Delia, his grandfather, and a weirdo with frizzy blonde hair. The last three being the most curious.

"Did you see anything?" Asked Delia.

You were fucking married!

Gary shook his head, "Nothing you want to know."

Delia grunted in frustration as she glued the electrode back to his head, quite forcefully.

"Are you angry with me?" Asked Gary as he rubbed his forehead.

"Of course not," Delia said with a smile, "it's silly of me to expect results this soon."

Samuel nodded in agreement, "It is, you're a scientist Gary, you know about the 'wait'."

His lips curled into a snarl after seeing Samuel's air-quotes. He couldn't help but rethink them in a twisted manner, which then sounded like a dirty joke.

"Sure," he laid back in his chair. However, his hand got caught up in one of the wires of the electrode and it fell on his lap.

"That... sticker fell," said Ash.

"It's called an electrode, sweetie," Delia tried gluing it back to his head, "Oh my, your skin is atrocious."

Serena and Ash snickered at the same time, Gary couldn't help but frown.

"Stop laughing," he said, "it's not like yours is flawless."

"Actually, hers—" Ash's words caught up in his mouth, for a moment, he had forgotten that no one in the room (or the world, well, except the exception of Charlus) knew about their little 'affair', "—mine, mine is flawless."

"Yeah mine too," Serena said, "maybe yours isn't because I exchanged it for a foot cream."

Ash burst into a peal of laughter.

"Hahaha," the brunet mocked, "why is she here anyway? I thought it was only the three of us who could... I don't know what you want us to do."

The blonde sighed, "I'm only here because your father is talking with my mother."

Delia dropped the electrode once again and Samuel dropped his notepad in which he seemed to write down fluctuations in what seemed to UER on a tiny blue screen.

"Charlus is with Grace?" Delia questioned while exchanging glances with Samuel.

"She's not going to kill him is she?" asked Samuel.
