Eve, TC and Whitney were on the Crane Jet. They were silent.
The steward came into the cabin. “ Dr. Russell, Mr. Russell, may I get you something to drink?”
TC and Whitney shook their heads, but Eve spoke up. “ I’ll take some tea, thank you.”
The steward left, and Eve commented, “ we have to think positive.”
“ Don’t tell me what to think!”, TC replied.
“ Find. Think the worst. That’s EXACTLY what our daughter needs! You know, maybe I should have come alone.”Eve went to sit next to Whitney. “ You know, I’ve had all the bullshit from you that I’m going to take. If what’s coming out of your mouth is going to be foul, then you need to shut up. Don’t say anything to me Whitney. I’m not tolerating your tantrums. AFTER Simone is well, MAYBE I’ll be in the mood to humor you. But NOW is not the time.”
Eve didn’t even wait for a response from Whitney, getting up from the couch, leaving her fuming.
“ Hello, Keyes.”
” Rustin, Shapiro, good to see you.
” Absolutely. All is needed is a couple of signatures from her doctors
here,
and once we get inside, I’ll call for the ambulance to take her.”
” Take her? Take her where?”,
” Doctor Rustin is head of psychiatry at
Once inside, they all got badges, and were shown to an office. They had been there for awhile when the door opened and a woman walked in.
“ Yes, this is her. Her name’s Simone, you say?”
” Yes.”
” Well, she hasn’t said anything to anyone since being brought in here.
She will
sleep at night, only after we’ve strapped her into the bed. “
“
YOU USE STRAPS ON HER?”,
” And you are?”, the doctor inquired.
” My name is Chad Harris CRANE, and Simone is my sister. And if you
have hurt
her, your days of practicing medicine are numbered.”
“
Are you threatening me?”
Dr. Rustin stepped up. “ Dr. Carson, I’m sure your care of Simone has been excellent. Mr. Crane, of course, is concerned about his sister. As soon as you sign the papers for release to my care, then you’ll be out of the picture.”
” I don’t know if I can do that. How do I know I won’t be part of some
big
lawsuit?”
“
Lady, if you don’t sign those papers, a lawsuit
is truly
the least of your concerns.”,
” I don’t like your attitude.”
” Tough. You don’t have to like my ‘ attitude’. All you have to do is
sign the
damn papers, cause I’m not leaving here without my sister.”
” The law says that I can keep her here. You’re not even the legal
guardian.”
“
I’m leaving the room right now. Someone in here
better
explain to the good doctor that she’s 2 inches from losing her CAREER.”
” We’re going to get your sister. “
” She signed the papers.”
“ She signed the papers.”
They all went to Simone’s room.
Dr.
Carson turned to
Dr.
Carson opened the door, and
” She’s not going in any ambulance.”
“Keyes
knew better than to argue with him. They got
outside,
