“I have to.” Mike frowned and held onto other’s hand, looking a little bit sad. “You’re friend and you’re hurt… What if it gets worse…? Dad can help…”
He tugged a bit onto Aleks’ hand, wanting to lead him. “Please…”
“Alright, alright Mike... let’s go.” He nodded for the lad to lead on as he steadied himself.
“Hey, hey, hey. Relax. I’m fine.” He said, trying to show that he is by standing a little straighter than he had been prior to a severe blow to his side. Oh, that hurt even more now that he thinks on it. Aleks decides to go back to slouching, his hand nursing his side quietly. Maybe not quite fine.
Mike gazed up at him, wide eyed. Maybe he was young, by he knew a lot of things. Like how people behave when they try to hide something.
“You’re lying…” He said, staring down. “You’re hurt… We need to tell dad.”
“Sorry... I didn’t mean to lie.” He is sincere in his words, but he is commonly caring for himself. “Don’t tell your father. Please?”

Need to get this muse going again. Anyone want a starter?

“You sure?” Stupid question really, of course Samiel wanted him to get some rest. Aleks could sure use some of it. “Alright…” He said, then Aleks glanced off to the side momentarily as his hand dips into his pocket to retrieve his phone. While not entirely tech savvy he does manage a few things considered to be high-tech. Aleks moved to his office and took a seat at his desk while he began to move his fingers across the surface of the his phone.
There is a new object on his desk, it looks to be about the size of a standard household toaster. Small dotted lines brighten up before a door sinks into the objects somewhat and slides off to the side. From it, a fairly small android peeks out at Aleks. Looks like the mortician has been busy.
“Macy, ya mind organizing some of this stuff while I’m away?” He never asked forcefully, but his command his met with enthusiasm. Macy appears fairly realistic, but a few imperfections definitely show the little android has been met with some time in the dumpster. No vocal ability, synthetic skin missing on her right arm and left foot, and a tattered yellow sundress that could easily have been worn by a child’s doll.
Aleks crossed his arms on his desk and rested his head upon them, watching the wee android get to work on pulling papers into a pile. He never bothered to mention Macy, perhaps he was unsure how Samiel would feel with a ruffed up looking thing in his high tech facility.
Mike soon sneaked into Aleks’ office and squeaked when he saw the tiny android. He wanted to catch it at first, but stopped himself and just watched the tiny thing work, as well as letting Aleks rest.
“So cute…” He whispered though. The kid always wanted to create androids. Hoped to do so in the future.
Mike noticed the small damage that the tiny droid had. Thought about repairing it.
Aleks glanced over at Mike as he entered and gave a small chuckle to the boy’s curiosity. “Her name is Macy. Uh... I can’t remember the longer abbreviated version of her name. But it sounds like her name.”
As if on cue, the tiny ‘droid corrected him. Raising her small, mechanically exposed arm she spoke. “M.A.E.S.I.E! Miniature Artificially Engineered Scientific Intelligent Experiment!” She introduced herself, giving a little twirl that caused her small dress to flare out with the turn of her small frame. She is a chipper thing, that’s for sure. Abandoning the paperwork briefly she walked over to Mike and leaned in to look at him. “Who are you?”

Aleks nodded and gave a small smile in Samiel’s way. “Still… thank you.” He noted this as well, having to deal with the dead quite frequently. He hasn’t been getting much sleep, if anything, a few power naps here and there when he accidentally falls asleep at his desk while doing paperwork.
“Get some rest, Aleks….” Samiel said, looking at him. “You must be exhausted and I don’t want you to get sick…”
He obviously cared about everyone. Aleks, his soldiers. Didn’t wanted to lose anyone else.

“I am” He said, giving a small nod. “Thank you, Sam. The help is appreciated.” Aleks then turned towards the corpse the parasite had originated from. “I think it is safe to say we should burn this one.”
“Yeah, better safe than sorry…” Samiel nodded and sighed. “And no need to thank me… After all, I do care for your safety.”
He looked quite tired. The demon hybrids were breezing through his soldiers like nothing recently. And he still haven’t found the source of the outbreak.
“What a mess…”
Aleks nodded and gave a small smile in Samiel’s way. “Still... thank you.” He noted this as well, having to deal with the dead quite frequently. He hasn’t been getting much sleep, if anything, a few power naps here and there when he accidentally falls asleep at his desk while doing paperwork.

After a few attempts Samiel finally got the little bugger. Aleks’ poor heart is busy pounding away, worried about another incident where he’d have to go into surgery should he gets infested once again. Luckily, there is relief. He sighed and gave a nervous chuckle. “Could be worse.”
Samiel looked at him with relief. Dropped the small corpse of the parasite on the table and cleaned his blade.
“You okay…?” He smiled weakly now.
“I am” He said, giving a small nod. “Thank you, Sam. The help is appreciated.” Aleks then turned towards the corpse the parasite had originated from. “I think it is safe to say we should burn this one.”

“I think I can manage.” He chuckled softly, only to jump somewhat when the critter hissed and tried to shove its way out of its prison. “Or not. Ideas?”
Samiel took the concealed blade out of his cane and gripped it tightly. “Lift it on my signal, okay?” He asked. “I’ll take care of it.”
“Alright.” He gave a light nod and awaited the signal. Aleks knelt down some and readied to remove the bowl. On the signal he jerks the bowl up and… it was gone. His first reaction is to chuck the bowl across the room which revealed the parasite to be clinging on the inside of the bowl. It screeched and scuttled out along the floor…
“Clever thing…” Samiel growled and just tried to stab it with his blade. Chased after it, making sure it stays away from Aleks. “Almost got it…!”
Despite his age, he was quite agile.

“Lot of dead bodies around here…”
“There is... a shame really.” He spoke a little quieter, examining the morgue he found so oddly comforting. True, they were dead. But he almost felt a connection with them in a way. They served in life and he serves them in death. “If it makes you uncomfortable my office is this way.” He said, then proceeded to point with his thumb.
Ooooooooh no.
Not again. Closing the main door into the morguewould usually set off some concern for those walking by - trouble is, he’s working after hours. Aleksei did not at all look frantic, but he is up to something while dealing with the latest infested body.Something hatched from it, and it looked like a small human baby with festuring bulges in its skin and heightened intelligence. The pint sized parasite wiggled towards Aleks causing him to reel back and behind the table. Leave it to Aleks to be the one who doesn’t care for using weapons.
Thankfully, he manages to capture the little shit under a stainless steel bowl, with his foot on the top of it he keeps the complaining thing beneath it. Exhaling, there is relief… but now what?
Samiel entered the morgue and almost jumped, seeing the mess that the parasite caused. “Oh, Christ…”
He noticed that Aleks was alright and that he had trapped the ugly little thing under the bow. “Need a hand with that…?”
“I think I can manage.” He chuckled softly, only to jump somewhat when the critter hissed and tried to shove its way out of its prison. “Or not. Ideas?”

“Oh, it’s fine ma'am… it’s good you are excited.” He said, a feigned smile soon forming. It almost seemed forced, like it was not something he did often. “I guess I just don’t know how to feel about it. But, don’t let it bother you. I’m sorry if I ruined the moment.” His voice is sincere while he speaks, his calloused hands come together and run along the scars that nicked them in thought. “Congratulations though… do you plan on returning to your job?”
“Oh, certainly,” Diana answered without hesitation. “I absolutely do not intend to stop working.” She almost laughed. “They’d have to drag me out.”
Nodding in appreciation for his efforts, Diana tapped her fingers against his desk. “Alright, I’ll let you get back to it. Please, don’t hesitate to come see me while I’m here, should you have any questions.”
A faint smile had formed on his face and it would appear he is quite pleased that he had made no offense towards the subject. "Of course, I look forward to seeing your return." He said, his eyes moved down to her fingers briefly before rising up and looking upon her face once more.
"I have no questions now, but I will certainly let you know, ma'am. Have a good day."

Send one to my muse for their reaction
“Oh my God. Can you hear me?”
“Breathe. Come on… breathe, please…”
“What did they do to you?”
“D-Did you see what they did to me?”
“It didn’t hurt this much at first…”
“How long has that been bleeding?”
“It’s okay. You’re going to be okay.”
“I thought they were going to kill me…”
“I thought I’d never get out of there.”
“Oh, thank God you’re okay!”
“Can you tell me what happened?”
“Shh… Shh, I’m here… It’s okay, it’s over…”
"Oh, it's fine ma'am... it's good you are excited." He said, a feigned smile soon forming. It almost seemed forced, like it was not something he did often.

The response he got from the child is rather expected. It is one he himself would have given when he was younger, though somewhat more gentle. “I won’t pry... but if you need to talk, come look for me.” His gaze was rather discerning towards Eli, like with all the kids here. They never really take his offer, but it is always there when someone needs a quiet buddy to hang out with. Aleks does not touch Eli, not even ruffling the kids blond locks appeal to him as gaining trust of any kind. “Have a nice day.” He said, a small smile forming, he lingered around a little longer in case there was more to be said.
