| Chapter 3 I�m sitting here in the same room, alone. I can�t believe he�s not back yet, stupid doctor. Humph. Well, at leas they gave me some pain killers to ease the pain of my arm. God it hurts. I just want to go home and curl up into a little ball on my nice, comfortable bed. Some how, I don�t think that�s going to happen any time soon. Who am I kidding my homes not very safe now, he probably has my purse and is waiting for me to return home. What am I going to do now? �Well, Ms.- I mean Joey- I called the police to report what happened tonight, they�ll be sending someone to keep watch over you and they�ll question you in morning. I�m going to have to keep you here over night to keep an eye on you. The reason behind this is because injected, a drug called GHB. It�s similar to ecstasy. The reason for not feeling happy is because it is an oral drug, not to be injected. Apparently, he might have mixed it with alcohol, which can be deadly. You�re lucky though, he gave just under the amount needed for you to pass out. I have the antidote to give you and it gives you the opposite effects than GHB. After that, you�re going to need to get some rest. So that means you can�t go home. I hope you don�t have any plans tonight.� he joked as he was getting a needle ready with the antidote. �The only plans I had tonight was to take a long, hot bath and curl up with a good book, after all, it is Monday, and I need to relax.� I replied with a coy smile and looked out the window of my room, seeing all the night lights in the city. I don�t want to leave this place. It�s my home. I just want him to rot in jail fair away from here. He brings over the needle full with antidote and he flicks it once and pushes a little out through the opening to see if it works. It does and he prepares to insert the needle through my skin till it reaches just inside the edge of my arm muscle. I never had a problem with needles, it�s just the anticipation of it causing a little pinch that you know won�t hurt. �This may hurt a little,� he says to me. I just let out a small laugh at his seriousness of what�s about to happen. �I don�t have a problem with needles, it�s just waiting for the initial impact.� I chuckle a little more as he�s looks at me like a have huge ears. I don�t think I have huge ears, do I? He shakes his head as he let�s out a �humph� and, again, prepares to insert the needle into me. �I send a nurse to help you to your room that�s been waiting for you. I do suggest you get some rest, because you�ll have a busy day tomorrow answering questions to the police. Trust me on this one. There will be a guard on duty standing outside your door, just to make sure your safe. I�ll check on you during the night, but other than that, you�ll have Mr. Jack Mcphee in there with you to keep you company.� �I get my own, personal�uh�� �Nurse.� �Right, my own, personal nurse. Why?� �Well, just to keep watch on you, to make sure you�re okay and help you with anything the you need.� He said as he began to clean up the examining table and then continued over to the counter to put the things away. �So, I get an almost butler, only with medical experience to wait on me, hand and foot?� I ask only half disbelieving. �Well, not a butler, just someone to make sure you�re alive.� He said with a smirk on his face as he turned around. �Be nice to Jack, he works hard and, don�t tell him I told you this, but, well, he just got through a three year relationship, so it�s hard for him right now.� �Oh, right, I�ll try to be a ball full of sunshine for good, ole� Jack. Well, I can do pleasant, but I don�t do miss Suzy Sunshine.� �Fine by me. Oh, look, speaking of the devil.� he said as he went over to Jack who was wheeling a wheelchair for her. �Hey, Jack. Be nice to my patient, she hard a rough night, plus you have to spend the next 24-hrs together. Night you two. See you once you�re settled in Joey.� With a smile he left. I just stared at Jack and he stared back. |
