LIII. The strange dream
Nexir felt very tired after a hard work day. In the end of the day immediately they had a surgery for a seriously wounded cop's dog.. "I don't know if it will survive... Although we did everything we could..." Nexir sighed and closed his eyes pressing his forehead to Dexter's back, who slept already long time ago. Nexir returned before the midnight. The surgery was long and difficult, the dog lost a lot of blood... Nexir gave a deep sigh feeling how the sadness covers him. He always felt sorry for the animals. They were his patients and his job was to help them, but it not always succeeded.
Dexter turned on the other side. Nexir smiled watching him sleeping and closed his eyes again. They were happy and they already lived six months together. Nexir smiled and reached for Dexter's face. He was everything to Nexir and it was so good to know that... It was a love, a love what was gentle, but deep and strong and burned like a flame at the same time. Nexir hoped that no one will take it away from him.
Suddenly he felt that somehow in the room became light. "Oh... So I've spent the whole night just lying next to Dexter, dressed up and without the sleep?" Nexir thought. "I still can't get used how time runs fast in this planet..." Nexir yawned. He felt how the tiredness covers his body. If even he would like to get up and go to the bathroom he couldn't do that.
"What if..." Nexir started to think. but he couldn't follow his thoughts longer. The tiredness and sleep were stronger than him.

Nexir slowly opened his eyes. It was dark in the room. "How long have I been sleeping?" He thought looking around. Nexir frowned feeling nauseous.
"Shit..." He cursed silently trying to sit and suddenly he felt that he is totally alone in the bedroom.
"Dexter?" He called his boyfriend, but anyone didn't answer.
"Perhaps he went to bathroom..." Nexir thought slowly sitting on the bed. However, in the whole house was silent, he didn't hear any noise or steps. It seemed like he was totally alone at home. Nexir felt worried. "What's going again?" He frowned.
Suddenly the weird noise was heard outside. Nexir stood up and started to listen hoping to hear someone's steps and voices. However, the noise lasted only a moment. Then became quiet again.

"What the hell is going?" Nexir muttered and left the bedroom.
Dexter stood outside still feeling very dizzy and sleepy. "What a strange dream..." He said himself in his thoughts and smiled.
He opened his eyes and looked around.
"What I am doing here?" Dexter felt shocked.
He fell asleep in the bedroom. Lucien said he'll come back home very late, so he didn't wait for him and went to bed. And what then? How did he find himself here, outside? For a while, his mind seemed him cloudy, he even couldn't think normally. However, after few minutes he started to remember. The silhouettes. They were four or five. They looked weird. Not like usually people look like. But he couldn't remember their faces and what their said him. It seems like they talked to him. They took him in some small very white room... Dexter felt how the cold chill ran through his body. Then he remembered a voice. He knew this voice... That man was very scared and asked them not to do anything painful. They closed him in another room. He had brown hair.
"Wait... It was.... It was Joshua!! My God..." Dexter mumbled feeling how the horror overtakes him. "It wasn't a dream... It wasn't a dream! Oh my God!"

The tears started to run on his cheeks, the panic covered him, Dexter almost couldn't breathe.
"Calm down... Holly shit! Calm down you and start to think! Exhale and inhale... Exhale and inhale..." He started to breathe slowly trying to keep self-control.
"Think, Dexter, think! You've seen Joshua there, it can't be your imagination..." Dexter murmured feverishly to himself.
Suddenly he felt a severe pain in abdomen. Dexter grabbed by his stomach.
"Oh... Shit! What did you do to me?!" He screamed angrily.
"Calm down... Holly shit! Calm down you and start to think! Exhale and inhale... Exhale and inhale..." He started to breathe slowly trying to keep self-control.

Suddenly he felt a severe pain in abdomen. Dexter grabbed by his stomach.
"Oh... Shit! What did you do to me?!" He screamed angrily.
The pain was so strong that Dexter even bit his lower lip. Dexter entered the house with hard steps. He collapsed straight on the chair in front of the computer in the living room. Were heard the steps. Dexter turned his head and saw Joshua. He was dressed up and seemed like he even wasn't in bed yet.
"You were there really, Joshua..." Dexter thought looking at him.
"Josh!"
"What?"
"Where were you tonight?"
Silence.
"Do you hear me, Josh? Answer, please!" Dexter's voice sounded a bit gloomy and angry.
"I... I don't know..."
"You know... I know that, too..."
"What... What do you mean?"
"We were together, Joshua, just in different rooms... I heard your voice. You cried and asked them not to hurt you... Is it true?"
"You were there really, Joshua..." Dexter thought looking at him.
"Josh!"
"What?"
"Where were you tonight?"
Silence.
"Do you hear me, Josh? Answer, please!" Dexter's voice sounded a bit gloomy and angry.

"You know... I know that, too..."
"What... What do you mean?"
"We were together, Joshua, just in different rooms... I heard your voice. You cried and asked them not to hurt you... Is it true?"
Joshua didn't answer.
"They did something to us..." Dexter said gloomy. "Doesn't your stomach hurt, Joshua?"
"Don't talk about it! Shut up! Shut up you!" Suddenly Joshua started to shout like crazy and ran from the room.
Dexter looked at Joshua frightened and confused.
"So... It's a true... Not my imagination and not a dream..." He said to himself and covered his face with his hands. "Shit... Who are they and what they want from us?"
"They did something to us..." Dexter said gloomy. "Doesn't your stomach hurt, Joshua?"
"Don't talk about it! Shut up! Shut up you!" Suddenly Joshua started to shout like crazy and ran from the room.
Dexter looked at Joshua frightened and confused.
"So... It's a true... Not my imagination and not a dream..." He said to himself and covered his face with his hands. "Shit... Who are they and what they want from us?"
