Encore, Cal finally makes it to Ryan's room
And OH OH Jim Leross sketchy and mysterious character becomes not so mysterious
IN THE HOSPITAL
Calleigh had just entered the hospital and headed straight towards the receptionist.
"Excuse me" Calleigh said politely. The lady looked up and looked thoroughly unimpressed.
"What can I do for ya?" She said rudely. Trying not to seem irked Calleigh smile increased ten fold.
"May you tell me where Ryan Wolfe is" Calleigh said looking dead on towards the secretary.
"Nah can't let cha" She says arrogantly. Honestly what was up this ladies ass?
"Well why may that be" she asked now her smile was wavering.
"Tch, you ask so many questions, well since ya bein so kind, I'll tell ya" The lady said smiling smugly.
"Jim Leross Mr. boss man said that the kid is untouchable, so as ya can see, you lil miss sunshine are outta luck" grinned the rude ugly receptionist. That was the last straw.
"Excuse me" I said while banging my fist against her desk.
"This is Miami Dade
police, Calleigh Duqusencane and I demand entrance to Ryan Wolfe's
room this instance" I boomed, I Calleigh, had just caused a scene
in a public hospital.
"Excuse me miss" Came a calm and most
hypnotizing voice Calleigh had ever heard.
"Did I hear you screaming about Ryan?" he asked with a smile on his face.
"Uh, yes that would be who I'm screaming about" Calleigh said while blushing.
"Well right now I said no can see him but, your part of Horatio's justice crew" he said showing a perfect smile.
"J…Justice Crew?" I asked dumfounded.
"Ah, never mind, I guess you could see him, since your so pretty, might heal his sore eyes" He said with a charming grin, I didn't want to argue because he was granting access to see Ryan so I just smiled and irksome smile and followed him.
Ryan's room was far and the only elevator working was the emergency elevator.
"So miss, what brings you to see Ryan?" Leross asked casually.
"Well Horatio told me to guard Ryan" she said sternly.
"Hm, really? You honestly don't have to lil miss, I can protect Ryan" Leross said with a cocky grin.
"Why would you protect Ryan??" Calleigh asked confused.
"Well that's because he's important to me" Leross said while shrugging.
"Ah, how so" Well today I was full of intelligent questions Calleigh though to herself sarcastically.
"Well you see I've know Ryan since he was young, since his mother was such an ill type of person he was in and out of the hospital, like it was school" Leross said his face stoic.
"Oh that's too bad" I say kind of taken aback by hearing this.
"Hm, typical reaction, you really don't know anything about Ryan Huh?" He asks once again with his confident grin. For some reason when he said that, I felt this wired sting in my stomach, it's true I really didn't know Ryan and for some reason I started to get flustered.
"M…maybe I shouldn't bother him" I said now feeling suddenly sick.
"Hey lil missy" Leross said looking at me very kindly.
"Ryan isn't a robot, you know? He wouldn't just shut ya out because he's afraid" He said gently. I don't know why but I confided in this man, who for a little while I though was a wired, rude stranger.
"I'm afraid, that…that I'll say something to drive him away" I say crabbing the hem of my shirt nervously. When I looked at him he was still smiling.
"Heh, cute, you know Ryan is very much like a wounded animal, or so they say, you just gotta come at him quietly, calmly and with kind intent and he'll surely accept you" he said in an unreadable smile, I guess that analysis on Ryan kind of miffed him since they related him to an animal.
"Ah…that's a
wired way to put it" I said making the same unreadable face.
"Look
Ryan nickname was pup, so that's why they say it, but listen, Ryan
is a very damaged person, mentally and physically, for some reason I
have a feeling you know about his back" he said in a very stoic
tone.
"I've seen it…but I've never confronted him" I say quietly.
"Look I'm going to tell you something very serious" he said sternly.
"Im not going to throw you in there without a basis because if you go like that he'll certainly say some very nasty things towards you, so you better listen carefully" he said looking at me dead on with a chilling look.
"Ryan had a half brother Mark, Mark sold drugs and occasionally Ryan did to, one night Ryan was doing a deal because Mark told Ryan him and his girlfriend were finally going to do it. So, Ryan went forward with the deal, but when he got there the people who were supposed to have money had pipes and bats. Ryan told me the minute he saw them he began to run back towards home. When Ryan made it there he tried to open the door but noticed his key was missing. He said he began to pound the door and was screaming franticly, but he said he supposed his brother couldn't hear him over the high pitched moans his girlfriend was making. Ryan proceeded to say that he picked up the rake on the front yard when he heard the gangs wailing in the distance, he said that he knew he had no choice so he charged straight into the crowd swinging the rake wildly and after that he told me about the day's he sat in the hospital hoping he would die" Jim Leross said looking at Calleigh.
"I…N…No way…I" I couldn't finish because I was crying, how very horrible.
"Please" Jim said while wiping my tears away.
"Don't cry because if you do, Ryan will certainly feel bad" He said giving a small smile.
"Oh and one more burden princess" He said sadly.
"The other half, well comes from an incident with his family, while protecting his younger sister Amanda and that story is only for Ryan to tell, my apologies" He said sternly.
"Please like I said stop crying...Like I" he was about to finish but Calleigh interrupted him.
"How!!!" she wailed.
"HOW…how can you just expect me to stop crying!!! Like you said Ryan isn't a robot and neither am I, I would be a monster to stop crying now!" Calleigh wailed out loud.
"Hm, what a pure heart" Leross smiled. As I kept bawling.
"Well, at least calm down before you see him" he said while taking my hand.
"Look there is a coffee place on Ryan's floor" He said while leading me.
"You can grab some coffee and clean your face right up" He cooed gently.
"Uh…uh…hmmm" I mumbled still crying profusely.
"Heh, don't worry lil missy, when I told me I bawled in front of his face like a little girl" he said grinning now and somehow through my monstrous sob's and sniffling I smiled.
5 MINUTES LATER
After I calmed myself down, I found myself in front of Ryan's room somehow all of this was a haze I just remember Ryan's haunting story and me bawling.
"Ready lil missy" Jim Leross asked me.
"Yeah, but may I be with him alone?" I asked shyly.
"Course you can, I never intended on going, you see this is the test for yourself, to see if you have the will to help Ryan or if you should just turn away" he said in a rough tone.
"I…I understand" I said while opening Ryan's door. You see I knew I couldn't turn away or run, I couldn't act selfishly or impulsively. I had to go into this room and take it for what its worth, a change of fate, not just a test because now somehow Ryan's blood was on my hand's and as it soaked in it infected my brain, but it wasn't like I was sick, it was more like and infection that ate my fear and made me fearless and some how it was truly liberating.
"Hello Ryan" I said looking straight on at him.
"Calleigh is it, well hey there" he said emptily.
"Ryan" I went to say but he cut me off.
"Calleigh, I hope you understand that once blood is spilled on your hands it doesn't just "come off" unless you bleach the problem permanently" he said, I laughed it was kind of wired, it was like he was physic or it could have been he read my mind.
"Luckily there's no problem to bleach" I said warmly. He looked down and for a second, if only I though I saw a flicker of light.
"Is that so" He said emptily again.
"Yup that's about it" I said walking towards Ryan's bed a plopping down beside him.
I looked at his empty face and even though I couldn't read it I knew a storm was coming our way.
LONG LONG ASS CHAPTER enjoy my beautiful people
