Undercover

Chapter 22

Nick's POV

After waiting for two hours, Joe and Demi finally arrived. They came late because there was traffic and the tube in the London underground had problems, causing them to have to walk all the way to the hospital.

"Nick is everything alright? Where is she?" Demi said as she quickly entered the waiting room. 

"She's inside with the doctors. It's been over two hours, and nothing yet." I said quietly. I was tired and worried and angry at the same time. What the fuck did Devagni do to my sweet Selena.

"She's going to be fine, Dems. Nick's been through enough." Joe said as he followed a few seconds later, handing me a coffee cup from the vending machine.

I took it and smiled at him. 

"Sorry. I'm worried too." Demi said with sad eyes to Joe. 

"Me too, sweetie. But we all have to be strong. For Selena." Joe smiled and took Demi into his arms. 

I sighed and stared at my coffee cup. 

Just then, the doctor who took her in came out.

"Selena Marie Gomez?" He called.

I shot up from my seat and headed over to him.

"Hi, yeah I'm here for Selena." I said. The doctors looked over to me and sighed, flipping the papers on his clipboard.

"Yes, I believe you brought her in. The thing is, Mr..." He said and looked at me.

"Jonas. Nick Jonas." I replied, motioning  for him to go on.

"Mr. Jonas, that we don't know what's causing her to be this way. Whatever it is, it's bad. She's gone through seizures, a major heart rate increase, her antibody is not fighting off viruses that's been projected from who knows where, and she is now unconscious. I gave her sedatives and some medicine that can help fight these viruses and to slow down heart rate, but she's in a dangerous state. If we don't find out what's causing all this, she might end up in a coma. And once she's in that coma... Well, let's just say... She can't be saved." 

With every word the doctor said, I felt my knees go weak. I felt my eyes burn and I can feel my heart beat louder and heavier than ever. I look down on my shoes, and without knowing it, tears trickled down my eyes. I can hear Demi's sobs as well. Joe is just there, hugging her. Worrying about me, I guess. I can feel his eyes on me, burning on me.

"Excuse me." I said to the doctors and the couple. I stormed out of the hospital, angry for what Devagni has done to Selena. He is going down, for good. I went back to my apartment to retrieve the sketch that I've made of his face. It was still there, under the bed. But as I grabbed my keys, wallet and phone to head out, I heard men outside my door. 

"I believe this one is their apartment." One said.

"Are you sure?" The other man said.

"Duh! The chips inside that innocent bitch's brain led us here. They're too busy taking care of her in the hospital, we have a few hours." The first one said and laughed. 

Then I heard my lock being picked on, and immediately panicked. I didn't have a back door. This is an apartment. I decided to go out the window, and climbed to the floor above. I jumped to their balcony, now hidden out of plain sight by the view from my apartment window.

I can hear the two guys talking about something. What are they looking for? I literally had nothing on Devagni. And plus, I did give them the chip, didn't I? Why is this all necessary? And what were they talking about when they said there were chips inside Selena's brain?
