I am in my peaceful sleep when I am awoken by the room door opening, I rub my eyes because their sandy and my vision isn't a 100%. I almost do a double take when I see two men.
The doctor and Kalisto. The doctor is probably in his mid 60's, bald on the top of his head but the lower half crowned with short grey hair, he is wearing glasses with thin gold metal frames and a stethoscope is around his neck, I can tell he is a doctor by the long length of his white coat. He notices the uncertainty in my eyes and begins to speak "Hello Miss Amore, I am Dr. Evers and I apologize for waking you at this hour but it has been a hectic day for me, do you mind if I check your breathing and examine you?" He removes the stethoscope from around his neck and uses the hand sanitizer attached to the wall, skipping the gloves. I shift my focus on kalisto. He is standing behind the doctor with his arms crossed and an eager look on his face. He notices me looking at him and looks at me and I can't read his eyes, passed the eagerness. I am still dressed I had fallen asleep in. The distressed jeans and tight white skintight tank top, its made of that stretch type material. I look at the doctor and nod my head yes to the examination and then I remove my blanket. Dr. Evers moves pieces of my hair to the side to better assess the wound, he presses lightly and I uck in a pained reaction. He turns around and goes into one of the cabinets and lightly puts some ointment on my stitched wound. I am silent and compliant "Well Miss Amore, you're healing wonderfully on your head woun and I just added antibacterial numbing cream to it, do you mind if I check your breathing?" This time I answer softly "Yes, that is fine...do what you need too" I see kalisto go and take a seat where, Parker had sat hours before. Dr.Evers takes the stethoscope and places it on my upper breast and listens for what feels like forever then gently lifts the back of my shirt and asks me to inhale and exhale, which I do. He returns my shirt back down which still reveals most of my lower back.
I turn and look at him "Dr. Evers, will I suffer any permanent damage?" He looks at me assuringly "Aside from your momentary memory loss and your iron deficiency, you should be just fine. I will prescribe you some medication for your iron. Have you been diagnosed with an iron deficiency in the past?" I shake my head no. He raises his eyebrows "well thats probably why it was so low because its been left untreated" I look at him desperately, "do you think I will be able to go home?" He smiles putting his hand on the top of my hand and responds "Hunny its 2:30 in the morning, why don't you rest up and let me get your iron levels to where I feel comfortable and we can have this discussion then?" I look at him feeling confused, I now know he is the eyes/ears and its so contradictory to the suit man, which I assumes is named Dris from the added phone contact. I look at him in the eye "Thank you for being so kind to me" a slight embarrassment flashes in his eyes and then I see Kalisto get up. Before Dr.Evers can speak , I quickly but softly ask "Do you think I could have something for the pain?" He looks over his chart and looks up at me "Was your last dose strong enough or would you like something stronger to better manage the pain?" I respond "more" and he smirks and steps halfway out of the room and speaks to a nurse but its inaudible for me. He returns with a tube and does the inserting. I thank him and lay back on my pillow, leaving the blanket off because I was feeling flushed in the presence of Kalisto.
Dr. Evers and Kalisto both gather with their back to me and discuss something where I can't hear even though their at the foot of the bed. The doctor looks over his shoulder at me and catches me eavesdropping and I shamefully look down. He turns back and continues his conversation. It was short but for me it felt long because I didn't know what was going on or what they were saying. They shake hands and Dr. Evers looks at me "Its been a pleasure meeting you, rest up and we will talk tomorrow" and he walks out the door, leaving me alone with Kalisto.
As the door closes Kalisto comes at me quickly with something pressing on his eyes. He stands next to me and looks at me for a second, "The phone wasn't an option, I have been trying to contact you." I begin to explain "I forgot to put it on the charger and when you gave it to me it wasnt fully charged so I hooked it up and fel-" he cuts me off. "Do you know who you're dealing with? Do you know the risks I took to make sure you ended up in a hospital? The cover for the car accident, me hacking into all those security footages??! The least you could do is keep the phone a priority " I look up at him apologetically and answer "I think I have some idea and I will be more responsible about the phone but I won't be leashed by it." And I stick my finger up, "I never asked to be abducted" i whisper than lower myself down to lay completely down and look over at him, he is just watching me and his blue eyes seem at ease for the first time I've ever seen. I take this opportunity to ask, "why did you do all those things for me anyways ? You could've let Dris let me die instead of going through all the trouble of covering things up and getting me here" he comes closer and sits on my hospital bed next to my hips.
