Chapter 10-I hope you like it.

I don't own any of the characters and stuff.

Please read and Review!

Ian's Pov-I finally decided that I just couldn't stay still anymore. I had to go outside and get some fresh air. I jumped up and walked down the bleak hallway. I noticed that someone decided to change me into a nursing gown. I guess I'm an official patient now. Jeeesh…that makes me feel good. Luckily though, someone thought enough to put my phone in my pocket. I grabbed it as I passed by several agents and workers. Somewhere in some part of my mind I felt embarrassed. Let them watch their ohh so dignified leader walking down the hallway in a dress. I picked up my phone and called my PA,… what was her name again… Janice?

"Janice,could you get me one of my spare suits, and tell someone to bring it down to the hospital. I also need my car ready so have that brought down. Arrange a branch meeting at the headquarters in 1 hour and tell everyone to be there on time," I recited quickly.

"Yes sir, I can do that, but what car do you want me to bring down. You're Lamborghini or is it your new….."

"I don't care Janice; just get me a damn car here ASAP. Got it?"

"Yes sir, also sir I would like to remind you that my name is not…"

And that's where I hung up. I had way too many problems to care what my damn secretary's name was.

I finally reached the outside garden and sat down on a bench. The air was crisp and cool, and helped me think way better. I looked down at my shaking hands ,and for the first time really noticed the after-effects of the ordeal with Amy. My hands were bruised and raw, and several cuts and scars adorned my skin. I checked my face in my phone's reflection and saw that my usually impeccable hair was all over the place and that several scars were around my neck. I touched one and winced as the pain bit through me. They were still fresh I guess. I looked up away from my reflection and took time to actually enjoy the world we live in. Never before have I truly realized how beautiful the flowers are and how wonderful the grass smells. It was a nice change from before. I saw a couple, a man and a wife, standing in the garden crying. I suddenly felt the empathy that I had lost over the years. I walked over to them and asked if anything was wrong. This made the women cry harder and the man wipe his tears. He lifted his hand to put a hand on his wife's shoulder. I guess they were about to lose a daughter or son. I looked away to give them some privacy, but I glanced back just as the man was putting his hand into his pocket. There on his right hand was a big black V.

No ….The Vespers are already here.
