Like all the other days I was working, but this time I was in my actual office.

I had just finished an interview with one of my clients who had been attacked the night before, we had already identified the person responsible who was on probation, so my goal now was to put him in prison.

The client and I had just finished discussing the procedures for the next month and were saying goodbye to eachother.

<Thank you so so much Ms Satella> she told me, getting up and going towards the door.
<Of course, we just have to finish agreeing on...> but at that moment my phone rang, I usually don't answer, but it could have been another possible client.

<Excuse me for a moment> and and I moved slightly away to answer.

"Hello? Who am I talking to?"
"Satella Courtney right?"
"Yes it's me, may I know who's calling?"
"We are the hospital ***, Mrs. Blaineley is asking for your presence."

I was shocked for a few seconds.

"She is...asking for my presence..?"
"Yes, come as soon as possible." and the girl on the other side shut the call down.

I was seriously in disbelief for a few seconds then I took my bag and my car keys and ran out of my office saying goodbye to the client.

<I'm really sorry but it's an emergency!> I said to her while going out.

<Oh alright,goodbye!>

<Goodbye!> I replied, going down the studio stairs, passing in front of my two colleagues who were in their respective spaces.

<Courtney? Where are you going?> one of them asked me since he saw me.

<It's urgent, I'll be back as soon as possible I swear> I finally left and went to my car, which fortunately was nearby.

I immediately started driving and took all the shortcuts I could take, my first thought at that moment was to call Gwen, so from the screen that my car had I activated Siri and asked her to call my friend.

"Morning Court" she said to me.
"They called me a little while ago from the hospital Blaineley's in" I told her immediately.
"What? What did they want?" she asked me with genuine amazement.
"I don't know, they told me that she asked me to come and to do it as quickly as possible, in fact I left everything and I almost got there"
"Oh my god...let me know why as soon as you can"
"Okay, I'll go now" I shut down the call to park.

Once I got out of the car I ran inside the structure which as always was full of people, there was too much queue for the reception, so I decided not to spend even a second doing it.

I headed straight for the elevator, too bad I was stopped by not one, not two, but by three security men.

<Ms you must first provide an ID to go up to the upper floors.> and they blocked my way.

<Satella Courtey, Blaineley asked for me to come here.> I replied, and without saying anything I walked past them, I think they weren't upset or perhaps they were aware of the situation since they didn't block me.

I went to the third floor and surpassed everyone to go to the last room, I opened the door and saw an horrific scene.

Blaineley had lost weight,a lot of weight, she had a defeated face, two big dark circles under her eyes and was full of wires and needles everywhere, her arms were full of bruises, both large and smaller, her shirt revealed a cut that was on her abdomen, I didn't even want imagine what they had done to her.
