Rest of the events passed in a blur.
I pressed the button to split open the access to the helipad, the Helicopter arrived, the sleeping patient was being transferred to one of the high ranking private hospitals for a confidential operation. Without his knowledge obviously. I pressed the button for helipad to merge beneath the base. I felt weak, my legs wobble anxiety took over I burnt hot at the same time I quiver from unbearable cold. Stairs... One step.. a two.. heavy..

Darkness is all I see.

I flicker opened my eyes. A nurse stayed back. Her back was to me. I was on the couch. Quilt over me. I took out my hand and tugged her which alone was tiring. Shr twirled. Annoying. My head ached. I began coming in terms with situation and the disaster I'm in at present. I sat up straight massaging my temple.
"Looks like you're back in your spirits already!" She chirped in her most disturbing squeal. I hissed. Her boobs bouncing as she pounced closer. Disturbing enough.
"How much?" We Both knew what I meant.
"Oh! The Director paid us off. If you insist I'll leave." I waved her off. She jerked her thumb towards the main door. Her escape that was locked. A displeased smile on her caked up face. The nurse was as devastated as me to leave. I apologized to her and granted her the freedom. The high tech security can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
She left some medicines and the clock says I was unconscious for almost two days. It was dark outside but who cares about the nurse she can make way home. I pressed the switch to open the curtains while I made my way to the kitchen for a refreshing dinner bhe lack of energy encouraged me to order. Way to rich diets. I sighed. The rain seemed to be at halt. I withdraw the curtains. Decided to take a stroll through each room. The inspection results were, the wounded And my doctor's set was gone. To elaborate, the ventilator, ECG Monitor, the tubes, LED Surgical light, even the fuckin bed, hell what more!? I'll need to examine the other things thoroughly. My heart leapt a beat. I instantly knew whose stunt this could be. I have other matters to go through. I groaned my workload is just getting piled up, the reversing process is light years ahead. I'm frustrated.
The bell rang. My appetite was gone. But either way I will have to go down, then open the door ,do the formalities, shut the door, bring the load to the kitchen counter, take it out ,then bring it to my mouth and then chewing also has to be done by me. So much struggle! Ugh!!
I headed towards the entrance stomping my feet ,after verifying I opened the door and concluded the usual routine. Once done wasting my time in trivial things I was once again on my bed, laying flat, going through the events that led to a disturbance in my usual routine until sleep took over me.

Once again it was morning. No. At present, afternoon, I made my way out of the firm. Put my sunglasses back on.
I'm late for work. I informed my senior Jacob that I'll be late because of the appointment with my lawyer, he will cover up for me. Still can't help but worry.
I had just recovered from the cold, so for safety measures I'll be drinking herbal tee and stick to the nutritious diet as planned. Starting today. If possible.
The traffic was smooth. That's why in half an hour I reached the finish line. The parking lot.
I entered my department and Spotted my space immediately. The most messy desk in this room. Is Mine! No Explanation.
In total 12 members in this cabin. 18 are interns working under us, temporary. Their part-time job is to lick our palms just like we lick our Senior's because of variable reasons. They restrained my promotion because of a 'mere' scandal a few years back. My reputation here is as good as criminal's. Thus I have to put in extra effort in each step, Though I'm sure they're gonna usher me to the sidelines each time I step up. The nice trick bitch played to show me my place was toying with me. She picked on me deliberately. My juniors have become my seniors now, biggest slap to my face.
I lost my interest in working here. I'm just dragging on.
None keep skills on the top priority now. Connections, appearance and position had topped the list.
My phone rang bringing me back to reality. "What?" I barked. Others jumped in their seats, startled. I excused myself out in the hallway, It was noisy. So I took the elevator to the terrace, Green roof. Cool breeze, sound of the leaves dancing the greeted me on arrival..Until the other side started shouting back "Are you listening?" My negative response had him growling but he was good at controlling his temper.
"The patient will be sent back at your place anytime in the evening be sure to be at home."
"No! Deliver him back to his home." I protested.
"But we haven't found anything on him. He has been plastered up everywhere. It's hard to tell where this guy belongs." He reasoned, too much hurry to throw the dirt out.
But I was the one who changed his clothes first and dressed his injuries, even I didn't find anything in his clothes. Strange.
"Fine." I Whined in defeat. "Thank you. Miss Macrell. Have a great day." I hung up. Great!!? my ass!!
I was no longer in mood to feel the greenery so I decided to go back to work.
"If it isn't Zenovia Macrell." The same mousy voice I hated the first time I heard it, when was it again? The starting of the high school.
"You must've heard about our engagement. Have a closer look at the ring." She leaned closer to me. "And know your place." She snarled seething at me. "Filthy slut!" I lifted my hand and clamped it on her shoulder "but look if I use my dirt, you won't ever be seen here." I whispered calmly in her ear, she knew well what I meant. I did the same to her either shoulder.
"But you're not worth my time. So enjoy stay." I squeezed her shoulders hard enough for her to realize my strength. Her widened eyes was my answer, I released her. She cursed me but that didn't matter. She sheethed but this time in pain. She rubbed at the pain.
"Calm down. You're just feeling drowsy. hmm, might be the symptoms of pregnancy." I winked, Smiling. Her attitude quickly transformed from fuming to cheery mood.
It's time to leave.
While she was busy dreaming I wanted to escape. "Ah, wait. I invited you too. I pitied you, you might want to witnesses an extravagant occasion, it's a once in a lifetime experience for you." She laughed to herself. I saw no fun. She will never learn.
"Thanks. I won't be attending. The bitch has finally found her dog. My 'Congratulations' is dilevered. I'll take my leave." I waved at her, I didn't wait longer to enjoy her reaction. My grin not faltering a bit as I disappeared from her sight.
