24 hours ago....
Sheri heard a puff sound and felt there is something wrong with her car. She drives through an area where there is light and checks her front wheels. She saw a flat tire.
"Oh great!" Sheri sigh and massaged her forehead she walked back to her driver's seat to look for her phone while looking, she suddenly felt a shooting pain in her head. The pain was terrible. She grips her steering wheel to support her self and slowly gets inside and sits down. She locked her door and thought if she rested her head the pain would go away.
For a couple of months already that she starts to suffer a headache. The previous months and nights she wasn't able to sleep well. For almost two years since she had her second life, she had a constant nightmare. She can't sleep, she tried to but couldn't.
She holds her steering wheel with both hands and rests her forehead in the middle. The moment she closed her eyes she fainted. Her head swayed toward the side window, leaning against it.
Eric was on his way to his parent's house. It's a bit far from Sheri's parent's mansion. While driving, he noticed a car parked in a desolate place but with a dim light on. He didn't stop in the first place, but when he passed by, he saw the side face of Sheri leaning on her side window.
He stops his car immediately and gets out. For the first time in his life, he was scared. He was thinking of many scenarios why is she in this place, if she is alright and many more. His heart starts to beat fast when he approached her car.
When he comes close, he knocked on her window but there is no response from Sheri.
"Sheri, wake up!" Eric shouts but still no response.
He tried to open her door, but he couldn't. He keeps on knocking but still, Sheri never wakes up. He walked back to his car and brings out his emergency tool to break Sheri's window. He went to the other side of the window and breaks it. He opened her car seat and went to carry her.
He carefully placed her in his car.
"Wake up, Sheri, wake up," Eric said while gently patting her cheek but still Sheri didn't respond. After trying for how many minutes, he decided to bring her to the emergency part of the hospital.
"Help," Eric said toward one of the nurses. The nurse immediately responded and guide him to a nearby free bed.
One of the stationed doctors was free at that time, and walked towards Eric.
Eric lay Sheri on one of the free bed stretchers and followed her in one of the rooms when the nurse pushed the bed inside one of the room for check up.
"I want a full check on her," Eric said and gives his business card to the doctor. The doctor was taken aback when he reaches and read his name. The doctor worked directly. The doctor nodded toward the nurses and did everything. A full-body scan, MRI, blood test, etc. in one hour the results wherein.
When the doctor is done checking on her. He went toward Eric and informed him.
" Mr. Cooper, the patient is just tired. Her body was exhausted and just need to take a rest. We have given her a shot so that she can sleep better now." The doctor said.
"Hmm," Eric nodded while looking at Sheri who is sleeping. The doctors and the nurses went out of the room leaving Eric and Sheri.
Suddenly the mechanical voice speaks. "You have 30 min before the next mission. Host, please prepare."
"Huh! Wait, is it already a year now? That was so fast and why didn't you warn me earlier." Sheri asked.
"Sorry host but the whole data system was busy, destroying the bug. Something is corrupting our database, and our engineer is trying their best to defend our data from being corrupted. Fortunately, the bug was destroyed." The system explains.
Sheri was supposed to asked more but her mom arrives with foods.
After her mom had brought her food, she leaves, leaving Sheri to go back to sleep. In the black space, the mechanical voice speaks.
"Welcome back host and good luck with your next mission."
"Wait..." Sheri wanted to ask about the bug. How on earth a big appear on the system but
Sheri felt lighted and when she wakes up.....
