Moving On *Completed*

Chapter 9- Dr., Change In Plans

Dr. Roberts' POV

Its 11:45 and they should be done by now and I wonder how it went. Since I have not heard back from Emily or Sean, I pull out my phone to call Emily when starts ringing. I see its a call from Mr. X.

“Yes Sir.”

“We have a problem. Damien is being released in a week due to good behavior and he knows where she is. He is coming after her since she is the reason he was locked up.”

“Are you sure he knows where she is at”.

“Yes. We have to have her safe.”

“He will slip up and when he does, we will be ready.”

“We want Emily safe. She is our first priority”

“I have an idea, Call the Blackbourne team and call a meeting with them now. Let me know where they are at and I will meet you there. Let me call Emily. I will explain it when I get there.“

“Fine. This better be a great idea. You know we don't want to expose heragain”

“You trust me to watch over and protect Emily and that's what I'm doing. She is like a daughter to me, and I will do anything in my power to make sure she is safe. She is planning a party for one of their teammates. If they are working with her, that will give us a better chance of protecting her."

“Fine. I will call them now.”

I hang up and call Emily. She picks up on the second ring:

“Hey Emily.”

“Hey Phil. How are you” she says. She sounds like something is wrong. If those boys made her upset, I sware I will skin them alive.

“I'm doing alright. I was calling to see how it went, but you don't sound good. What's wrong? Did they do or say something to you?” I ask, trying to keep the tension and worry out of my voice.

“Well, It was going fine until North accused me of having ulterior motives, and that no one does things for free without wanting something in return. It felt like a slap in the face and I just lost it. I told him he should have read the background report they ran on me and my business before he started to throw accusations at me." 

"Then I told him I was doing this to help them out since you said they needed the help and if they did not believe me, they could leave. I told them I would email you my proposal and you could forward it Sean and Mr. Blackbourne, but Mr. Blackbourne gave me his card and told me to email him tomorrow afternoon. I am also meeting Gabe tonight at the Bob's Diner, so I can observe Luke and see what he is like. I will email them tomorrow afternoon with my ideas."

"By the time they left, North apologized and they were all excited about the proposal.”

“Well, I am glad you told him how you felt and for sticking up for your business. I know you worked hard to get your business started here. I thought you had a party you were throwing tonight?”

“I am. I'm going after I leave the diner, but don't worry. I will send them the proposal tomorrow afternoon.”

“I know you will if that’s what you told them. However, you sound like something is wrong and I want to know what it is. Do I need to come over there?”

“No, No, No. I just need a moment.” she says and starts to sniffle. Now I know its bad and as I go upstairs to get my shoes and wallet, she takes a deep breath and whispers “Damien is being paroled early for good behavior. They are releasing him in a week. What if he finds me? I just started my business and I don't want to leave.”

“Ems. He will not hurt you. I will be over there later tonight and we will go to the diner together. Then we can talk ok?

“Alright. What time are you coming.”

“I will be there at 6. Em's, trust me. You will be alright. He will not hurt you again. I will see you then.”

“See you then.” and she hangs up.”

My phone goes off with a text from Mr. X saying to meet him at Dr. Green's place in 10 minutes. I grab my keys and head out the door. This just has to work.
