It started out as an average day, well before Conrad Hawkins woke up. He should have known it was going to be a bad day when his toaster stopped working. He figured that he would have to get breakfast and lunch at the hospital cafe. He then got on his bike and rode to Chastain Park Memorial. He walked in and when straight for the cafeteria. As soon as he walked in the Cafe Nic stopped him.
" Hodad killed your patient, again. I'm sorry Conrad." Said Nic
" This is the fourth time this month what the hell? I am going to the Administrator. He can't get away with this." said Conrad angerly.
"What if..." Nic started. But Conrad cut her off.
" What if he kills someone close to us. These people came in with something simple. That would require a simple surgery, but he killed them. He killed the souls of the people's family members."
"Ok, then I am coming with you." Said Nic.
" Fine let us go," Conrad said walking towards the Administrative office.
Nic and Conrad started to walk to towards the Administrative office. They knocked and Mrs. Thorpe opens the door and leads them to sit.
"What seems to be the problem." Claire Thorpe asked.
"Dr.Bell has been killing my patients this is the fourth time this month. He isn't safe around patients. He can still work here but not as a surgeon." Conrad said.
" Fine, I will talk to him about this. If you would like I can bring this to the Board of Directors." Thorpe said.
" Yes, Thank you!" Conrad said.
Nic and Conrad walked out and they went and worked there shifts. They were supposed to meet up after there shifts but they had to cancel them because their shifts were too long to meet up.
As Conrad walked his rounds. Dr.Bell then stopped him.
"So what is this I heard about you reporting me to Board of Directors?" Dr.Bell asked backing Conrad into a blind spot where the cameras couldn't see them. It was a vacant hallway so no one knew he or Dr.Bell was there.
"So here's what we're going to do. You are going to say you recant your claim and that you do not want to go to the Board of Directors. And then I will stay here and figure out how to fix me." Dr.Bell said.
" No way Hodad. There is no way I am recanting my claim. I am going to get you out of Chastian if it's the last thing I do." Conrad spated out.
" Who is Hodad," Dr.Bell asked angerly.
" It's your new name. It stands for Hands of Death and Destruction. " Conrad said back.
Conrad started to walk the other way when Dr.Bell stopped him. And he began to feel a sharp pain in his abdomen.
"As you know as a doctor and a surgeon I know where everything is. The vital spots and the non-vital spots and also where the arteries are too. So I am going to leave you here bleeding out because you have no one and everyone will just think you are crazy. Goodbye Mr.Hawkins." And with that Dr.Bell left.
Conrad started to grab onto anything trying to keep himself upright so that he doesn't bleed out. He fails miserably and falls to the ground. But manages to get his phone out. He is ever so slowly panicking. He opens his phone painfully and presses Nic's contact and presses her number. '
"Hello... Conrad, why are you calling my number? This is why we have a pager." Nic started.
" Help... Nic...Hodad...Stabbed... Southwest hallway. Hurry!" Conrad said breathlessly.
"Conrad what is going on. Hodad stabbed you? This is crazy I am coming. Stay with me, Conrad." Nic said barely holding herself together.
The minutes seemed longer as Nic went to find Conrad.
"Oh my God, Conrad," Nic said, " I NEED A GURNEY OVER HERE," Nic yelled out.
"You know what's next. Hold on." Dropping to her knees she pressed her hands over the wound in Conrad's stomach. He slowly kicked and groaned. "Stay with me, Conrad. You know what happens when people pass out. Talk to me. What happened?"
"Hodad. He-ugh-he did this." Conrad's words were breathy and concerning to Nic.
"He's a doctor, Conrad. He could have and would have hit something more vital than this." She continued to yell for help before he could gather the strength to reply.
"No. No, he doesn't want me to go to the Board of Directors. " He said. He looked over at the amount of blood gathering under him. " That's a lot of blood there."
"Yes, Conrad. But you need to hang on for me, ok." Nic said with little more emotion then she would like. Conrad started to let his eye flutter close. And then last things he heard was Nic yelling at him to wake up and the gurney coming to a stop.
