Sorry for the short chapter, but sometimes less is more, though in this case, I'm not sure. OMG!, it Rhymed.
Freddie sat in the visitor's chair in Cynthia's room. He looked out at the East River separating the boroughs between Queens and Manhattan, Queens, ha, he thought with a chuckle. Manhattan, such an interesting and diverse city as he gazed upon Roosevelt Island, originally known as Welfare Island. Very strange but mesmerizing city filled with wondrous things and opportunities.
His gaze continued below to a fenced-in park that bordered on the FDR Drive. There were children laughing playing, swinging, climbing monkey bars and paying hop-scotch. He turned towards Cynthia still unconscious, watching her rhythmic breathing, looking so peaceful and pale due to the large blood loss as his eyes lingered on her belly.
She's pregnant!
He wanted to light a cigarette to calm down but couldn't while being in her room and a walk outside was totally out of the question.
He wants to marry her, they are engaged and of course children would be the next step, but she's pregnant now and he was having a hard time coming to terms with it.
There was a knock on the door followed by Miami entering and a burly, tall man with a face of stone.
"Miami, what are you doing here?" Freddie asked.
"There's been a development Freddie. Paul Prenter disappeared. He never reached Bellevue and the ambulance and paramedics were phony" Miami said.
"Good grief, we are in danger and we can't get back to London now because of Cynthia." Freddie said.
"Miami, who is the Hulk?" Freddie asked.
"FREDDIE! " Miami shouted.
"I know you're upset, but manners. He is here to watch over you" Miami said.
"I'm sorry dear. What's his name?" Freddie asked.
"Uh, Marvin" Miami said
"MARVIN, God, I'm not calling him Marvin" Freddie choked on his own laughter.
"From now on his name is Banner, as in Bruce Banner, also know as the Hulk" Freddie laughed
Freddie walked over to the six foot five behemoth of a man, looked up to him and said . "You don't mind me calling you Banner, do you darling?"
"Not at all Freddie, as long as you don't try to kiss me." said Banner.
"What the fuck did you just say?" Freddie yelled
"FREDDIE!, you come with me now" as Miami dragged Freddie out of the room, " Miami, did you hear what he said......"
"Shut it Fred. You were disrespectful to a man who is your security, there to protect you, have your back and right away you tried to belittle him. He is your security, the boys now have theirs as well. Now you march back in there and apologize to someone who is prepared to take a bullet for you."
Freddie would never have taken that from anybody else, except Miami. He knows Miami has his best interests at heart. Now Freddie has to do something that he rarely does, apologize. He took a deep breath and walked into the room stunned. This hulk of a man was hovering over Cynthia and holding her hand.
"It's going to be all right. I'm here to protect you and Freddie. Don't try to talk, Freddie is here, now rest" Banner said as he moved to let Freddie stand at her beside.
Freddie looked at Banner, smiled and nodded.
"Cyn, you're awake" Freddie said softly.
"What happened Freddie?" Cynthia asked
