Do I Confess?

Derek stared at the computer screen as he watched previous operations he performed with the patients being GUILT victims. Angie and everyone else had left him a long while ago after their shift finished but Derek felt like he needed to remain behind. He watched how the different GUILT strains behaved and performed their programmed tasks. He knew them…he knew how they all behaved, their preferred target organs or systems they preferred to attack.

“Now’s normally the time you come out,” Derek spoke to the empty room.

“You were contemplating what you should do. I thought you’d be happier left alone, dad?” Derek looked over towards Angie’s desk and saw his younger self sitting on her desk. The major difference between Derek and his younger self was the light green eyes instead of the chocolate eyes Derek had.

“You know as well as I do of the consequences of confessing to them.”

“That you created them?” He asked Derek.

“I confess that and I lose my licence.”

“Caduceus does that and they lose a valuable weapon against GUILT.”

“You know I don’t like being called a weapon…” Derek sighed as he paused the videos as his younger self slipped off the desk. “Phronesis, what would you say is the right option?”

“If you’re really looking for advice then I’d say confess to those you trust. Angie is the first one you should talk to or bring Tyler too. They’re your best friends after all~” He smiled as he approached Derek and hopped onto his desk.

“And about you, Phronesis?”

“That’ll be your decision to make. You made me special Dad. I hold all seven strains of GUILT, as well as my own, within my core so can help the other surgeons here prepare for the war that’s looming ever so close. Will you confess to them that you’re a pathogen hybrid and have been since I saved you after the attack on your lab during med school? At least Tyler and Angie deserve to know, don’t you think?” Phronesis spoke quietly to Derek almost as whisper to the surgeon.

Phronesis watched as the gears turned in his daddy’s head over his words. He didn’t exactly like being kept in the dark but there had never been a case of a fusion between human and pathogen and the human race had a habit of running experiments, picking apart things they didn’t understand. They both had a purpose and that was to win the war against GUILT and their so-called daddy. Once that was taken care of…could Derek up and try to vanish from the world. The gears stopped as Derek looked at Phronesis.

“You’re right about Angie and Tyler. They have the right to know along with everyone else. We will still take care of GUILT with or without Caduceus backing me,” Derek closed the videos and watched as Phronesis’ smile grew wider, “we can’t let GUILT win.”

“No, we can’t let GUILT win.”
