Chapter 48: 48- The Drunk Doctor

The man grit his teeth. "Damn it, Hope, stop prodding me, I'm not a piece of meat here, not for you anyway."

Hope ignored him and put a hand on his forehead as she searched his eyes. "Max, you're burning up. We need to get you out of here."

Max snorted. "And just give you to whoever the mole is? No way."
