Downstairs, Samisu sat in the waiting room. She glanced around for magazines to read. The tables were empty. She searched for a television to watch, or a newspaper to view. Nothing. Then, something caught her eye.
In the corner of the room, in brightly colored wooden letters read "Play room." Sam grinned evilly then crawled across the floor toward a large bin of toys. What bliss. What shear bliss.
Iya had reached Yumi's room. She fixed her hair to the best of her ability and opened the door. Inside the room, all was silent. "Yumi?" She spoke as she entered, her shoes tapping against the tiled floor.
A figure was covered by a long white sheet. Iya made her way over to the bed, she placed her hand on the figure, "Yumi, wake up." She ordered.
She lifted the cover away from his face. Yumi's eyes were wide open. He was staring at the ceiling. "Yumi, what is the matter? Say something." She demanded.
"You have to get me out of here..." He said nervously, a waver strong in his voice.
"The doctor switched my file ... they are going to poison me. I just know it. At midnight tonight I will be killed. Iya, please. You have to save me."
"Yumi, what on earth are you talking about?"
"The man next to me had a heart attack. They are going to inject him tonight with something lethal." Iya looked at him with a blank expression. "Lethal means deadly, Iya."
"They switched our files. On purpose!"
Iya ran her hand across his cheek, "Yumi, my dear, take a look for yourself. You are in this room by yourself. You have no neighbor. No one had a heart attack. You are going to leave the hospital before midnight."
Yumi boosted himself onto his elbows and glanced around. "Oh, I suppose you are right..."
Just down the hall, Hoshin was in labor. "I told you! I am not pregnant! I just hit my head!"
"In and out! Breath, miss." The lady screamed.
"I am not pregnant! I am not in labor!"
"Carol, we have an issue." One of the doctors said, motioning for Carol to come over. She stood up, releasing Hoshin's hand and stepped over toward him, "What is it?"
"It appears that she ... in fact has no child."
Carol lowered her head, "I will tell her." The doctor gave Carol and awkward look then nodded.
Carol slowly walked back to Hoshin, "Ma'am, it appears that you ... have lost your baby. We are deeply sorry."
Hoshin smacked her head. "Gah!"
"You're taking it worse then I imagined..."
"Carol!" The doctor yelled from across the bed. "Let me handle it." Hoshin turned up to the other doctor, "Look, you we never pregnant to begin with."
"I've been trying to tell you that the whole time!" Hoshin screamed.
Jake arrived at the hospital, he peered around the waiting room, looking for Samisu. "Samantha?" He said from afar. He glanced toward the play room. It was empty, yet he could hear the hustling and bustling of small plastic objects. He made his way over to it, an evil cackle becoming evident as he did.
Samisu sat Indian style before a pile of LEGOs, laughing maniacally. "What are you building, there Sam?"
Samisu looked up, "Argh Jim, is it not oblivious?" Jake glanced down toward the small pile of LEGOs. It looked as if she had just dumped them out of the bucket.
"No ... and ... who is Jim?"
"Why ye are Jim, sonny Jim. 'Tis me pirate ship, ye ol' Carnival."
"Sam, dear, the Carnival is a cruise line. Not a pirate ship."
"Argh, matey. My name be Captain Samisu to ye."
"Where is Yumi? Is he better?"
"Yumi be swoppin' gobs with the fishies."
"Okay, well I will find him myself then."
Samisu lifted a Barbie doll by the head and aimed it at Jake's throat, "If ye wishes tae' walk thee plank."
Jake pushed the Barbie doll out of her hand and stood up, "You need help."
"Help?" The nurse from across the counter yelled, "One moment! I will page down the doctors!"
Soon, just as Hoshin was thrown out of the hospital, a team of doctors rushed forward and grabbed Samisu. They lifted her into the air and strapped her down to a stretcher. "Unhand me! Ye will all walk thee plank!"
"Bye, Captain Samisu." Jake waved with a grin.
Soon, Yumi was released with a minor concussion. Hoshin was fined two hundred dollars for having a false pregnancy and Samisu was taken away to a mental institution, where she now resides. The End.
