PART FORTY-TWO

Christopher Rodriquez' POV

I got into my cabin, after the two hours long conference to see Martin sitting in already.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I walked in.

"I wanted to talk about... something..." He dragged looking behind me and I turned to look at Gina standing.

"You can leave..." I said to her and she nodded, leaving the cabin.

"There is something important that I just found out. And I thought I should see you soon. And it was office time... And I dropped here... And you were busy..." He said as I walked to sit in my chair.

I frowned and asked him, "And The Point Is?"

"Yes... Apparently, the securities at the asylum just informed that Addin is getting violent. Mr Miller is planning to shift him back to the last hospital he got treated in... which is where I went to look for him..."

"London?" He nodded. "How can he just do that?" I asked irritated and loosened my tie a little. He shrugged. "That was yesterday's news. I have a new one."

And I knew from the manner he was telling that it isn't a good one either.

"I contacted the doctors and found something even worse. Addin had... ESCAPED... the asylum. Not in records because he was treated and almost in a good state of mind. Also, they didn't want to take up the blame on them..." He said. 

I gulped at the thought where he was leading to...

"If he had escaped the first time... Then he would definitely do it again... At least he will try to..." I said and he nodded.

"Plus, if it is the same place again, then... you know..." He said and paused to look at me.

"...We should stop his shift to London." Martin said shrugging and I picked up the phone to fix a meeting with Mr Miller.

After few minutes, Gina called.

"We are having Lunch with Mr Miller. I will comeback in an hour." I said to Martin and stood, buttoning the coat.

"I will try to get the chief doctor there to talk." Martin said and rubbed his forehead, worry filled in his eyes.

"Thank you, Martin." I said out of concern and he looked at me surprised.

"Thank you? Get off before I start to swear." He scoffed damn irritated at my statement.

"I don't want ruin the reputation of the Christopher Rodriquez. Better get going..." He said with a fake anger and turned before even I could say anything. I chuckled as I nodded and walked to the conference room.

Everything was blank from then. The meeting, the lunch with Mr Miller, again back to the company and travelling back home.

I tried the best to convince Mr Miller from shifting Addin to London. The doctor was made to talk without revealing the escaping. He was flying here the weekend to treat Addin himself.

As I walked home, I saw Olivia sitting on the sofa with her colouring book and Rose sitting next to her. I turned back to look at Stephen standing with the files I kept in the car.

"Where is Sky?"

"I dropped her home." He said and walked out, handling me the file.

I remembered what happened in the morning.

"No... No..." I muttered as I ran to the car parking and rushed to her house.

I sighed as I stood at the doorstep, thinking what I should go and talk. I was about to press the doorbell but the door flung open and Katy walked out.
