Desynchronosis

Vincent Beruct was lying on the floor, unconscious, drooling, and with his eyes almost close, it was like watching a zombie that someone put down a long time ago. At the sides, there was a broken stick. In front of him there were three men, two tall ones and one short one, and behind him a woman, she was bleeding just a bit from the arm, she was holding it with a disgusted face.

One of the men behind him started to save his staff on his suit by shrinking it, one of the men took Vincent and lifted him from his arms, and the last man was a short one, an old man, the boss of Vincent.

The boss started looking at Vincent’s condition, he stopped drooling but was breathing heavily, he had a pair of eye bags that were drastic, his skins have gone pale too, his hair was a mess and his clothes were rip, the boss saw a lot of liquids and took a sniff, he holds his nose in an instant, there was a nauseating smell coming from Vincent’s clothes.

—Take this man to my car, and you too, lady, we are going to the hospital

It took an entire day to have Vincent back conscious, and when he woke up, he started screaming.

—What happened?

—WHAT IS THIS? WHERE AM I? HELP! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!

—NURSE, BRING THE INJECTION

A nurse came quick to Vincent’s room and administrate the liquid inside the serum, Vincent stops hitting things and slowly begin to sleep again, he was connected to serum and nutrition liquids the condition of Vincent was bad

According to the doctors and the exams that they do, Vincent was in severe malnutrition and dehydration, a little bit more and he would have died, although he was going to have sequels from this, another side is his constant wake-ups screaming, they are still investigating what does he have but to confirm it they need the background of his medical history but nothing was really off and they still couldn't talk to him directly since it was just a couple of days since he was internee, he would need to started eating something too, or thing could get more complicated.

And so, a week passed finally, the boss of Vincent came to visit him to let him know a few things, he walked and he saw Vincent looking at the window with a loose sighed, he turned his head to look at the boss and spoke.

—Boss? —Vincent still had that loose look but his eyes opened and tried to run to his boss.

The boss stops Vincent from getting up and holding his arms.

—Boss! That castle, something strange on it!

The boss look with an indifferent face at Vincent, at sight,

—Vincent, there’s not such a thing as something strange in that castle.

—But I…

—You injured someone, Vincent, I came to talk to you about this.

—...

Vincent was surprised, he couldn’t talk so he kept quiet to listen to what his boss wanted to say.

—When we found you, you were chasing that woman…

At that time, the boss arrives at the location after receiving a call from a woman, telling him that someone was chasing her around and didn’t listen, when he arrives, Vincent was chasing the girl with a broken stick and in one of his attacks he almost hit her leaving just a scratch on her skin but making her bleed a bit.

—VINCENT, STOP! YOU TWO! GO WITH THEM! NOW!

After confirming that Vincent didn’t listen they started to chasing him, he was drooling and babble, when he looks behind him he changes his posture and start pointing the boss and his men with the stick, the girl took this opportunity to hit Vincent's hand with a book making him drop the broken stick and knocked him up.

—I don’t know if you remembered, but you’re lucky she didn’t present charges for it…

—I did that?... Did I… No… No, sir…

—Say whatever you want, Vincent, we were there when it happened —the boss sigh—. Still, I need to tell you about your pay, even after all your sloppiness you manage to clean just a part of the castle perfectly, the bad news is that everything that you earn will be going to your hospital bills

—All of it? Doesn’t the contract cover my medical bills?

—Yes, it would, if it was to work and not self-inflicted… but the money that you earn isn’t even enough cover all the pays, but I will pay for it, take it as a token of gratitude since you clean one of the hardest parts of the castle, but I can’t lead slide what happened to you, so the contract that we had is done, I hope you understand why.

—Self… inflicted? W-What do you mean? They did this to me, Boss… —Vincent looked at the boss with a surprised face.

—Vincent! —the boss turned up his voice a bit just to talk normally again after Vincent quieted down—. The doctor said that you were sleep-deprived, and your muscles were tense from overworking, I don’t even know how you were running like that with your body in that condition… Anyway, why I try to say is, I can’t take a guy who doesn't know how to work, did you even listen to what you were about to do to that woman?

—But boss… —Vincent extended his hand next to his boss, but he took it and put it down.

—That’s all I wanted to say, sorry Vincent, take your time to recover, and take better care of yourself… Goodbye

The boss left Vincent behind while he was impacted by what was told, or maybe it was another thing.

—But boss, they are here… Don’t you see it? In the ceiling, the floor, the walls… they are laughing, they are laughing at me… I can see its faces, BOSS! BOSS BE CAREFUL, THEY WILL GO FOR AFTER THEY ARE DONE WITH ME, PLEASE

Vincent tries to stand up again and fall in his knees, he was about to disconnect his serum from his veins, but the doctors came quickly to tranquilize him, he put a lot of force, screaming, they finally calm him inject it him another dose of tranquilizer and leaving him in bed.
