I joined them in the family room finally. "Ok. Here you can have
your privately. Mrs. Elliott I'm very sorry about Dr. Geoffrey's
behavior. He's old fashion."

"Are you going to be me new doctor?"

"If you like I can be. In no time we'll have you feeling much better
with these visits from your family and hopefully that will help
some. Hopefully soon we can start concentrating on your hip. I know
how painful it must be for you."

"Ahe it is very painful. Especially last night with those nightmares."

"Don't worry about that. I think your depression is gone now that
your family is here. Let me go take care of the police and Dr.
Geoffrey's. Oh and Mr. Elliott would you come with me."

He took me out and they got settled. The male nurses left with us.
We had to break up the verbal fight between Rick and the French
doctor. "Let him go." The administer said to the cops. "Do you realize
who these two men are?"

"No but he is rude, disruptive, taken patients off of IV's and is
a..."

"Ahh enough. First of all the medication you had her on had her
seeing things. Second of all these guys are two of the members of
Def Leppard and the guys that are funding our program. They are very
respected men and paid for your education here. So if he feels you
are not taken care of his wife then he has a right to take you off
her case. She's no longer your patient. I am again very sorry Mr.
Elliott. Now get those police officers out of here."

They left a bit upset. "Please call me Joe. I really hate being
called Mr. Elliott everytime I hear it I look around for me da.
Didn't catch yer name."

"Dr. McKenzie, but you can call me John."

"McKenzie, uh you wouldn't 'ave or had a brother named Nick would
you?" Rick said and I looked at him funny and then realized the last
name.

"Yes he was a soccer player or something in Ireland. He's my half
brother and disappeared years ago. Do you know him?"

"Unfortunately, yes we do. Fucking bas..."

"Rick don't go there. He left those scares on me wife years ago."

"Oh, well I hope that don't interfere with me being her doctor. As I
said he was my half brother never really knew him or care to." I
smiled and shook his hand. "As long as the patient is happy that's
all I care about."

"Thank you I can tell you and I are going to get along just fine."

"No thank you. Now get back to your family. I'm going to see if I
can get a cot in a private room for you." He left and Rick stared at
me.

"I'd keep an eye on dat arse Joe."

"Rick will you just let it go for once. The man said he didn't know
him and it's not his fault. Would you get some lunch and bring it to
the room? I'll talk Beth into seeing you. Don't mention the fact
he's Nick's half brother. I got a call Sav real quick before I go
back in there."

I left out with him going to get something to eat. Rod also followed
me out. I called Sav's hoping he'd be in. "Savage residents." He
said and I heard Tyler screaming. "Paige I'm on the telly."

"Sav."

"Oh hey Joe. Hold on a second will you? Let me find somewhere more
quiet." I waited lighting a fag. "What's up?"

"Need to ask you, how much did you know about Nick?"

"A lot unfortunately, why?"

"Does he 'ave a half American brother named John dat's a doctor here
in Pairs?"

"Nick had a lot of brothers and half brothers why?"

"Well had a run in with her French doctor and turns out the administer
is Dr. John McKenzie. Need and want to do a background on him."

"Ah already picking fights with other people besides me."

"Sav I said I was sorry about dat. He seems nice and knows we are
giving money to the research here."

"John McKenzie ok I'll call Tony then get some information in
American on him from Phil. If you 'ave yer cell off I'll leave a
message on it. Just keep an eye on him don't let Beth alone with him
and Joe get some sleep you sound like shit."

He hung up and I put my smoke out. I ran back up not paying attention to anything Rod said. I ran into John before I got to the room. "Oh Joe we are getting your wife up in a private room. As soon as it's clear we can get you in there. The kids unfortunately can stay until visiting hours are over with. Got a cot in there for you and it's as it should be. Nice and quit. Tomorrow we can all three talk about seeing how the chemo is doing."

"Thank you." I shook his hand but stared at him to see if there was
any old scares on him.

"I'm very sorry that your wife had an unfortunately run in with my
brother. He was very disturbed man. I don't know what he did but
please know that I am nothing like him."

I half bowed to him and went to the room. She looked up at me
sitting there on the couch surrounded by the kids. "Mm Rick went to
get some lunch. Will you let him in when he gets here?"

"Yes, now dat Bell made me at lease look somewhat presentable." She
smiled at Bell. "Their moving me in a private room aren't they?"

"Ahe."

"So what am Oi going to do when you leave back on tour Joe?"

"You can still 'ave people visit you luv. If you want I can make it
to where Butch and the kids stay nearby until yer discharged. Uh
baby about yer doctor. He's um well sort of um..."

"Nick's half brother. Oi already know. Recognized him when he picked
up Josh. Though Oi don't think he recognized me."

"So you've meet him?"
