Life's Highway {Sequel to Little Tomlinson}

Chapter 36-Murder

"Excuse me," Eleanor started as she stood at the hospital reception. "I got told my partners daughter got brought in here."

"Name?" The nurse replied dully.

"Tellie-Cristell Tomlinson."

"The little girl that was in the car crash, poor thing."

"Can you tell me which room she's in?"

The nurse looked at Eleanor curiously. "Are you a blood relative?"

"No-"

"Parent or a guardian?"

"Sort of." Eleanor said simply.

"You either are or you're not which one?" The nurse replied bitterly.

"I'm engaged to her father." Eleanor said bluntly. The nurse didn't say anything, she went over the chart in her hand and walked out of the reception.

"I'm sorry, but unless your a relative or a guardian I can't let you see her." The nurse said before walking off leaving Eleanor disgusted.

"That nurse is a bitch isn't she?" Killian said as he walked over to Eleanor who stared at Killian in confusion.

"Do I know you?"

"Not really, I'm Killian and if you wanna see Tellie come with me 'cause they're actually letting me see her."

"Where is she?"

"This way."

"How come they're letting you see her?" Eleanor asked as Killian led her through the hospital.

"Well, I'm very high up the police force and I'm her godfather so you know..." Killian trailed off.

"But you didn't mention that you helped her mother kidnap her did you?" Eleanor countered. Killian smirked and continued walking through the hospital.

"No, no I didn't."

They continued walking till Killian led Eleanor into a hospital room. The moment Eleanor saw Tellie she rushed to her side not even noticing as she knocked Killian to the ground.

"Are you okay sweetie?" Eleanor cooed.

"Where's daddy...?" Tellie whispered.

"He'll be here soon." Eleanor replied she then looked at Killian. "Where's Phoebe?"

Killian's eyes flickered with sadness as he leaned against the wall. "When they brought her in she went straight to trauma, she was in there for at least an hour or so...but she never came out."

"I...I'm sorry..."

"It's okay," Killian said blinking tears from his eyes. "She was a bitch anyway..."

It was obvious Killian was partly lying, he believed it when he said Phoebe was a bitch, but she was his bitch. The door opened and five doctors walked in, completely shocking Eleanor.

"Good morning, I'm Dr.Torres, these are my interns don't mind them." Obviously Dr.Torres said, her dark hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail and she had dark bags under her eyes. "Avery, chart please."

An intern-Avery-spoke. "Cristell Tomlinson, age six, was in a car accident last night has a broken arm and any other major injuries where taken care of."

It was when Avery said it Eleanor noticed the pink cast on Tellie arm, 'not again.'

"Is there any questions?" Dr.Torres asked looking from Killian to Eleanor.

"How long will she have to stay here?" Eleanor asked.

"We need to keep her in 'til Thursday to make sure everything's in shape, after that you can take her home."
