"Just put him in the car," I ordered the warrior as he dragged Baxter's body out of the coffin and down the hallway secretly, without anyone seeing.
He exited through the back door of the hospital and loaded Baxter's body into the trunk. Once he shut it, he turned toward me, giving me a very scared look.
"I hope I won't get heat for this," he muttered, anxiously rubbing his palms together.
"Don't be a coward," I snapped at him.
Then I forced myself to calm down because, well, I realized he was just a warrior at the end of the day. Of course, he was scared of losing his job.
"Nobody will say anything to you," I reminded him.
"There was a fire that broke out, or somebody pulled a false alarm. Do you not remember your other warrior running away as well? Even the doctors left. Nobody would know that you stayed behind. And don't worry, the cameras were compromised for that little while."
I confirmed that everything would be fine.
He gave me a tired look, still shocked, until I pulled out a stack of money and his eyes started to shine.
Money can do wonders. It can turn anyone from loyal into a complete devil within minutes.
I had seen it happen before. And I was seeing it now.
He snatched the envelope out of my hands and opened it, his eyes widening at how much money was inside.
"By the way, we have taken him out of the coffin. That is not a good thing," he said.
I rolled my eyes and gestured for him to go back and join the others and act like he had also run out in fear of the fire spreading.
"Remember, you're not supposed to tell anyone anything," I warned him, making a gesture with my fingers as if zipping my mouth.
"I will never. It would land me in trouble too," he assured me as he walked away.
It was easy because I had money and the means to make it happen.
The doctor in Baxter's room was the key. I knew his entire schedule and routine for the day.
The minute he walked in and I pressed the fire alarm, he left without locking the door. He probably thought nothing would happen in such a short while, and he left calmly.
He probably could not take Baxter's coffin because he could not untangle it from all the tubes that were attached. We had made sure to let them stay in, as if Baxter was still inside.
Nobody was going to check it. They would only check whether the tubes had a regular pressure of gases going in, and that would continue as normal.
But Baxter was in my trunk now.
I sat in the car and started to drive away.
In the middle of the road, I began to get bored. So I opened my phone and checked the messages I had sent to Penny in the morning.
