Weave Of Fate: Rock My World

Correcting Mistakes

Shen POV

I've tried calling Xia a number of times, but there is no answer it just goes to voice mail.  I call her workshop phone and Stewart answers "is Grace there?" I ask "No we thought she'd be back by now" he replies

The hairs at the back of my neck stand on end at his answer "where did she go?" I ask "she went to that button supplier you told her about.  But Doug is getting a little worried as she said she wouldn't be long and its already been 4 hours?" he tells me.

"Right, I'll give them a call as she isn't answering her phone" I say before ending the call and then calling the warehouse manager.  "Is Grace still there?" I ask "I sent one of the foremen to wait for her.  He said she looked around and then left" he answers "did you see her leave?" I ask "no, its been one of those days, the phone hasn't stopped" he explains.  

I end the call and frown, something doesn't feel right, I call Stewart again "does Grace have her location switched on?" I ask "yes, her brother insisted she keep it on" he says I thank him then look up her location.  

It shows her still at the factory, I swear and run out my office "Jeff come with me" I order as I run to the elevator.  "Grace is still at the factory but when I called they said she'd left" I explain as we dash to the car.  I jump behind the wheel and step on it weaving through the traffic until I squeal to a halt outside the factory.

"Go and get the manager, I'm going to follow her signal" I order and run off in the direction its indicating.  I get to a group of sheds and start calling her name.  Most of them seem empty as I try the doors and look through the windows.  I'm using my flash light on my phone to see inside.  

When I get to the second to last one, I notice some fresh footprints and try the door buts its locked.  I shine my phone into the window and my blood runs cold.  Xia is laying on the floor with blood around her head.  I don't stop to think as I kick the door in and rush to her side.  She feels cold and there is a gash on the side of her head.  I see scuff marks that look like she was pushed and stumbled.  I look up and see a metal bookshelf and one of the shelves has been bent so it protrudes out and there is some hair stuck to it.

I swear and pick her up, walking as quickly as I can without jolting her further.  Jeff comes out with the manager "sort this out, I'm taking her to the hospital" I order putting her into the front seat and fastening the seat belt around her.

"Someone pushed her and locked her into one of their sheds" I explain as I round the car and get into the driving seat. 

I drive as fast as I dare to the hospital and carry her into A & E thankfully a nurse sees me and points to a bed for me to lay her on.

I'm then ushered out as they pull curtains around her bed "what happened?" a nurse asks "I found her out cold, she'd hit her head on a metal shelf" I explain "do you know her name?" "Xia, Xia Bright" I tell her.  She nods and indicates a seat for me to wait.  I can't sit though, so I pace in front of the seats.

My phone goes and I answer it "have you found her?" Stewart asks, I blink as I'd forgotten her team was worrying about her.  "Yes, but she's got a gash on her head and was out cold still when I brought her to the hospital" I explain "which hospital?" he demands I tell him and he ends the call.

The doctor comes out from behind the curtain "she needs stiches and has a concussion.  We'll have to keep her in for observation" he tells me.  "Are you family?" he asks I shake my head no.  "Can you get in touch with her family as they should be informed?" he wonders, I nod my head again and lift up my phone.  I call Trevor and explain that she is in the hospital and that he needs to come over.
