CAPTURED

Chapter 18

BRYAN'S POV

I quickly hid behind the wall beside me as they came forward, trying to think fast. I really need to get to Anne's room before them.

How on earth will I do that?

I looked around, there was a back route to the wards but it is much longer than the other way, if I want to get to Anne's room before them I have to run as fast as I could through the back route. I didnt have much time to think of any other plan, so I took off, there was much crowd in the hospital today and the back wasnt excluded, there was just one consultant room at the back and thats where the crowd grew thicker, I tried to squeeze my way through but it wasnt easy at all

Shit!!

I cursed as they all started pushing

This is not going to work!

The thought of john getting to the room before me and taking Anne with him made me quiver in fear for the very first time in years, I glanced to my right seeing a closed office with a bold  ON-CALL ROOM written on it, below it, says STAFFS ONLY, then an idea popped up.

Pushing through the crowd I made my way to the door, pulling the door knob, it was thankfully open, i took a small peep through the door to confirm if it was empty before opening widely. I rushed inside closing the door behind me, I scanned the room, it had a bunkbed on one side, the other side had a couch and a table, books were littered everywhere, then I saw what I came for, a doctors scrub was hanging beside the bunkbed and the white doctors coat beside it.

Taking off my cloths, I wore the blue scrub first then put on the white coat on it, I saw a stethoscope on the table in between books and I picked it pulling it to my neck before leaving the room.

I started running again but this time the crowd made way immediately thinking I was a doctor and heading for an emergency, just as I was getting to Anne's room door, I heard johns voice getting closer from the other side. I was just in time. Getting there as quickly as I could I opened the door and dashed inside before I would be seen by john, I locked the door behind me.

Anne sat up in a haste.

"What is going on? Why are you looking like a doctor?"

"I don't have much time to explain but john is here!"

"John?"

"I mean Williams, he is here with the other man...the manager"

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed as her hands flew to her mouth, I saw the huge fear in her eyes and she started trembling. "Bryan please you have to help me, I beg of you, they are here for me, please dont let them take me"

I went straight to her and gave her a hug  "Im here for you and I wont let them take you I promise, we have to leave the hospital right now" I tore the hem of the bedspread and wrapped her bleeding hand.

"How?"

"I will think of something" I said standing up to glance around, just then we heard voices at the door, the door knob turned.

"Its locked!" it was Williams's voice.

"Are you sure, try again, Will, this was the room number she gave to us" the other man said.

The door knob turned again, this time shaking the door

"Its fucking locked!" Williams shouted

"What if they are no longer here?"

"They are here, am sure of it, and the receptionist confirmed it Tom".

Anne was really shaking this time and I turned to hold her, she put her head on my shoulder and I stroked her hair trying to calm her and hoping to God that they wont break down the door.

"Probably she made a mistake, maybe this isnt the right room, lets go tell her and ask again" I heard the other man say

"Damn! We dont have much time Tom" Williams growled.

And I guess they were going back because their voices started growing distant.

They dont have much time? For what?

I held Anne back and listened again there was no sound, I quickly got up.

"What are we going to do now?" she whispered.

"We are leaving right now, do you think you can walk?" she shook her head

I went to the end of the room and dragged the wheelchair there, carrying her I placed her gently on it then moved to the back to push it to the door.

I opened the door slightly, to check if they were still in sight, confirming that it was clear I pushed the wheelchair out and quickly down the hall way, we got into the nearest elevator, it wasnt empty, I pushed for the ground floor, there were three nurses in the elevator with us, they looked at my scrub then looked at my face strangely, am sure they couldnt recognize me as a doctor in their hospital but they didnt say anything till they got off.

We reached the ground floor and got out heading for the outside door. Just as we were reaching the door a hand tapped me.

"Doctor emm..?"

I turned and it was another doctor dressed the same way I was.

"Doctor Mark" I said as the name just came from nowhere.

"oh Doctor mark" he said scanning my face as if knowing something was wrong, the hospital was a big one and am sure he couldnt know all the whole doctors working there, then his eyes went to Anne on the wheelchair "is there something wrong with the patient? I saw you hurriedly moving to the door, is she being transferred and wheres her guardian?"

Anne glanced at me with a worried look, she linked her two hands together and I knew she was getting scared again.

"umm..yes, shes being transferred, her guardian is upstairs working the transfer papers, shes my patient so I offered to bring her down and see them off, we will be waiting for him outside" I said as the lies just came pouring to my head.

"Oh okay, thats good" he looked at me as if not satisfied with what I said, he took a quick look at Anne again and at me.

"Director?" a nurse came up to him "you are needed in the VIP floor urgently please"

Wtf!! He is the hospital director!

What if he asks me the reason for transfer, damn I dont know shit about anything

He turned to the nurse "is it an emergency?"

"Yes sir"

"I will be right there" he gave me another look and with that he left with the nurse

Letting out a sigh of relief, we moved out of the door and straight to the parking lot, getting to my car, I opened and carried Anne out of the wheel chair and settled her at the front sit before closing the door. I pushed aside the wheelchair not bothering to take it back into the building, just as I was about to start the car, I heard some voices from the hospital back door and I turned to see Williams and Tom running out and pointing to my car.

"Shit!" I swore, starting off the engine very quickly and heading for the main gate.

"They are about to follow us Bryan" Anne said still looking tense

I glance back again and I saw them getting into their own car and then moving towards us.

Oh God!!
