Her Redemption

Reign

"Go home Dr.Holden, the girl has been like this for two days and no change.." Eyes open and blinking as if seeing, but she sees nothing." One of Dr.Holden's nurses said as she opened the blinds to let in the winter sun.

"You could be right." The past 3 weeks have been a touch and go." Tell me Susan, what would make a bright young woman waste her life away?" Dr.Holden asked as he still thought 'Jane Doe' got ahold of a Hot drug.

Dr.Holden sits up right after being in the cramped chair over night after his shift..Excepted a cup of coffee from the nurse coming on her shift.

"Sorry Dr.Holden, I can't tell you why these young ones do the drugs.But I will tell you, this one is lucky to have you in her corner." Nurse Susan said as she checked the girl's I.V.

"Has anyone found anything out about her?" Dr.Holden asked as he put on his long tan trench coat.

"No, but did find a small box outside the room that was brought by her roommate..Couldn't catch the other woman before she left..She too looked to be on something." Susan said as she got into the closet and got the taped up cardboard box out and handed it to Dr. Holden.

"Might give you some idea who she is and maybe find her parents." Susan said as she followed Dr. Holden out of the room.

"Maybe." Now if there is any change, call me." Dr. Holden said as he took one last look at his patient before walking off.

"How are we today?" New nurse asked as she patted the girl on the leg before checking her vitals..Seeing the girl blink, knowing she had all the doctors baffled at her awake coma like state.

At the stop light, Dr.Holden goes through the box of stuff nurse Susan gave him.

Bible sat on top, worn look, at least 10 15 years old.

Driver behind him, blows his horn to let Dr.Holden know that the light was green. Dr. Holden throws his hand up as if to say sorry to the driver behind him.

As Dr.Holden drove, he would take a quick glance at the stuff in the box..Few fake jewelry, a class ring from a High School in Fl. At least it was something.

As he moved the Bible, a picture of a female fell out..It was his patient 'Jane Doe'..on the back it said Reign..Took 3 years ago..

She was wearing a light blue summer dress, smiling as she hugged a pier post at some beach..More likely Florida..This Reign was nothing like Reign who was decked out all in black when she first came to his hospital with bullet wound and high on cocaine.

He ran his thumb across Reign's face in the only picture of her he had..Her smile haunted him..

Believed he would send what info he had on her to Florida state police to see if they have anything for him.

Home***

"Coffee hun?" Sharon, Dr.Holden's wife asked as she came into his study.

"Coffee would be great." He said as he scanned the picture of 'Reign' and sent what info he had to State police.

"Who is that?" Sharon asked as she placed her hand on her husband's shoulder after handing him a cup of coffee..Looking at a picture of a young woman on his computer screen.

"That is what I am trying to find out." Dr.Holden said as he found the fax number to Florida state police and sent them a picture of Reign.

"Blake, your a doctor, shouldn't you leave the private eye work to the police?" Sharon asked  wanting her husband to leave his work at work and just be her husband.

"I would if they would do their job." Dr.Holden said.

Sharon knew she wouldn't get anymore out of Blake, so she left his study.

Dr.Holden goes and lays on his black leather couch and closes his eyes as he waited for fax to come back on Reign.

Wasn't long before his fax machine lets him know something was coming back from Florida state police.

Reign Cristian Stevens Davis..Age 27..Born & raised in Orlando, Fl.

Two years ago  Reign lost both of her parents and her only son in a car wreck..Drunk driver hits her parent's car killing both instantly, Reign's 3 year old son Christopher William Davis holds onto life for two more days in hospital where he dies after never waking up from coma. There was the name 'Christopher' Reign was calling out the night she arrived at his hospital.

Officer Thomas Davis age 31, husband to Reign dies day after son Christopher's funeral. Fatal gunshot to the head..Possible suicide..After that Reign Davis goes off the grid to never be heard from again...No other family members to speak of.

Dr. Holden shakes his head in disbelief of the info he received on Reign..Now he understood why she took to street life..Nothing to live for.

State police sends report of The family Steven's car wreck..

David Fields age 49 driving while intoxicated kills family..Released from jail on 50 thousand dollar bond..Two weeks later he and pregnant wife and mother-in-law die in home from mysterious fire...Dr.Holden's eyes grow wide at the death report of the drunk driver..something told him he just solved the mystery..

"Reign...what have you done?" Dr.Holden asked out loud as he looked at a family photo of Reign & her husband and son at what seemed to be a church gathering..Reign smiling as if to be truthfully happy with her life..Her hand that bore her wedding ring set, laid flat on her husband's chest as her husband held their smiling 2 year old dressed in a light grey suit that matched his father's..

Dr.Holden goes back to the box of Reign's things and never found the wedding ring set..Doesn't mean anything..Could have hocked it..But unlikely.

Dr.Holden types his thank you back to Fl.state police for speedy info before cutting off his computer to go take a much needed shower..One his wife Sharon joined him in..Sharon tries everything to pull her husband in the mood, but he wasn't into it tonight..

Light chicken salad and few glasses of wine and he was ready for bed..But sleep didn't come as easy as he prayed it would be.

Dr.Holden knew where his mind has been since he found Reign's more normal life..photo..Beautiful, 24 years old..Dreams began..

He is on a beach with Reign, she is laughing and playfully running and dodging him. Sees himself catch her as they both fall to the damp beach sand..Her auburn hair is fanned out under her head, as her copper eyes look smilingly up at him as he laid half on half off top of her..Reign touches his bearded face with her hand that had a wedding ring set, but she was wearing 'Sharon's set..as if he had married Reign...Both  kiss as neither cared of people walking by them..Reign runs her hand down his chest and further on to stop between them as she gently rubs and massages him till he was out of his mind with need and wakes up just as he was about to take Reign where they laid..

Holden wakes up to his wife...touching him as his dream of Reign was doing..Dire need of release, Dr. Holden makes love to his wife..Before getting up and taking a shower as he prayed to a God he didn't quite believe in...for a late night call from the hospital..Any reason to see Reign...even if she were in the state she has been...No such luck..

Dressed in faded blue tee-shirt and black jogging pants, Dr.Holden returns to his wife in bed..

"Boy that was romantic, wham-bam thank you mam." Sharon said as she looked at her husband's back as he laid facing from her.

"Just tired." He lied as he watched the clock's second hand move more slower than he wanted it to..3:47 in the morning..now 3:48..and so on as he laid deprived of sleep..
