My Visions

Chapter 100

A/N:  Here is another chapter.  I hope you enjoy it.  

Mr. Bill Elliott (a.k.a Dr. Robert Hall) POV

I'm feeling good about the interview today. I researched the questions and I think I have a nice and brilliant response to the questions. The only issue that I'm having right now is my baby girl. She has been crying on and off for the whole night. I don't know if she even got any sleep and I don't know how to get her to snap out of this. I still can't believe that she is this heartbroken over someone that she never really met before but clearly, she has become attached to him. Maybe when we go back home, she will recover. I don't want her to continue like this. It is too hard on me watching her suffer.

I head off to the interview but not before I made sure that my baby girl had breakfast. I made her stop her crying long enough to eat some food. I think we will just head back home after I have my interview. I don't want to leave Mandy sitting in her room all day.

I'm confident that I nailed the interview but to be on the safe side, I have paid a couple more of the board members to select me as the new director. We were so clever, and we used the director's office to handle everything, so no one saw a thing. The temporary director and his secretary were both off today and we could easily use the office. I explained the deal that I would give them cash, half now and half after I was hired, for them to select me as the new director. They didn't seem to have a problem with it since they said I was already very qualified to be in that position. I'm not going to tell them that Dr. Hall is just an alias and they will wonder what is going on when I disappear with a good chuck of the hospital's money. Oh, I'm going to love doing this job.

Mr. Panitchayasawad POV (Yo's dad)

I'm fuming more and more as I watch the security footage along with the authorities as Mr. Elliott bribes two more of my board members inside the director's office. I thought that I had really good people on the board but clearly, I need to do some investigating and clearly some cleaning house. The authorities are just as surprised as I am with this latest development. I never would have dreamt that those two board members could be bribed. If they can be bribed for this, what else have they taken a bribe for? I guess we have some work cut out for us. If this keeps going, I may end up getting rid of most of my hospital staff. We are supposed to be the best and this really isn't the morals that I want at the hospital. What happened to not succumb to temptation? Well, my staff and board members must have left that idea some where else. Clearly several of them aren't remembering it while they are at the hospital.

I grunt to my head of security, "You know what to do. Go do it and give me all the information that you can find. I'm going to put a stop to this now! If I have to fire and arrest half my staff, I will do it. They don't know who they are messing with, but they will soon find out."

I need to clear my head. If I stay here and watch any more of this, I'm going to explode. I'm known for keeping my calm and cool demeanor, but this is pushing me to edge. I thought I could trust all the staff at the hospital and in a few short months, I have to come to the reality that I can't.

I march out of the office and head to the one place that usually has a calming effect on me.

I'm at my house sitting under a tree next to the large pond at the back of the property. When my wife was alive, her and I would come here for hours and just enjoy each other's company especially when things were tough. After we found out that she was very sick, and that it was terminal, we sat under this tree for hours almost every day talking and trying to figure out the best approach. This is also where she told me that she was pregnant with Wayo and where we celebrated our last wedding anniversary before we moved to the United States. When I sit here, I often feel like she is still here with me.
