The 9th Life of Louis Drax Page #6

Something's burning.

Finally, some people

I actually want to see.

You look wonderful.

- Nice to see you too.

- Excuse me. I'll be one minute.

- Hello.

- Hi, you look stunning.

- Thank you. You too.

- How are you.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Is that for me?

- Looking for this?

Why don't you open it, okay?

And you, come with me.

Bring a present, get a hug.

Hey, take Alex,

out of the water okay? It's too cold.

Here, have this.

You invited Mrs. Drax?

I thought it could do her some good,

get her out of the house,

out of the hospital.

She's getting eaten alive out there.

I expect she's used to it by now.

Tammy, Tammy, don't run!

Men always behave like fools

around pretty girls.

How are things with you?

- Hi.

- Hi.

You caught me hunting for snacks.

- The food isn't very good.

- No.

Thanks.

I, uh...

I saw you earlier,

but you seemed, uh, occupied.

I thought maybe

you were trying to avoid me.

No. I'm... I'm happy Janek invited you.

I think he's taking pity on me.

- H... how are you coping?

- Is that your wife who you're with?

Yeah, it is.

She's very pretty.

That's nice.

- I'm coping as well as I can.

- Yeah.

- You, uh, disappeared.

- Hey, um...

I was just on my way to the restroom,

and I bumped into, uh, Mrs. Drax.

We were commiserating

over Janek's cooking.

I, uh, don't believe

we've been introduced.

Sorry. I'm so stupid. Um,

Sophie, this is Natalie Drax.

Natalie, this is my wife, Sophie.

Natalie's Louis' mother,

the new patient I was telling you about.

Of course.

Um, I heard about what happened.

I'm so sorry for everything

you've been through.

- Well, your husband's been very helpful.

- I'm sure.

Mrs. Drax brought a hamster in.

I brought Louis a friend

to keep him company.

Well, technically,

we're not allowed animals on the ward.

He's just a baby. He won't harm anyone.

And Louis loves him.

Okay.

I'll make an exception this one time.

This one time.

You're taking him

home with you when you leave.

Thank you.

Do you want to go for a walk?

It's such a beautiful day outside.

I was thinking of getting some air.

Uh...

Okay, short walk.

Let Louis and his old friend

get reacquainted.

Come here, Rasputin.

Time's up.

Abra... kadabra.

I've been thinking

about those poor hamsters.

Why... why they gotta die?

You're not very clever

for a doctor, Fatty.

Don't you know about the rules?

The rules?

Yes, there are laws,

and you go to prison if you break them.

But there are secret rules, too.

But what does that

have to do with the hamsters?

One of the secret rules

is about pet keeping.

If you own a small creature

and he lives for longer

than a small rodent's lifespan...
