Chapter 11

HOSPITAL AGAIN

Not again I say as I open my eyes, hospital again. You have got to be fucking joking. I don't know this hospital though it looks old and dated. My boss comes in and he again goes over the incident. Don't believe it, I went out after weeks of being in that room and they were ready for me. I would have been killed if it wasn't for the backup who took out all the men who came after me. But I was hit in the head again and this has caused me to be back in hospital.

"Let me through, just let me through I'm a doctor", I hear and with a familiar voice. I look at my boss and tell him he has to be joking. I'm in Africa how the fuck, no why the fuck is she here. "Nicole you ok", Waverly says.

"What are you doing here, how the fuck did you know I was here", I don't give her chance to answer and I look at my boss and ask him to get her out of my room. I don't want to see her.

I'm then told by a screaming Waverly that she was in this town at a seminar with her husband, those words make my skin crawl. She continues and is informed by her husband that a military agent was here with a serious head injury and seeing as she is one of the best neurologist in the world she was asked to deal. She didn't know it was me, till she read the notes and then s=ran to the room.

At this point we have been left alone, so she is here standing in front of me in doctor mode.

"what's going on Nicole what did you get yourself involved in. my husband. "can I just stop you there" I say.

"What", she replies.

"I don't need your help or you going on about your husband, I'm fine and I'll be even better when you have gone". I know I'm harsh but I have to get away from her and seeing as I can't go anywhere I need her to leave.

"Sorry, love- ", she says.

"Don't do that, don't love me, I'm not your love and by the sounds of it I never was", I say

I ask her to just leave, my head is hurting and the pressure is killing me but I just can't have her touching me. But she is stubborn, and she is also the doctor here. So I sit and she does her thing. Her touch I close my eyes as she examines my head. Her fingers feel so calming on me right now, I just close my eyes.

"Nicole", I hear her.

"this is a pretty bad head injury, I'm sure whoever did this was probably hoping that it would be the end of you", she says. She sounds a little upset.

"Well it's the job I do, danger is always around the corner", "Look Wave, I have been stabbed, shot and beaten, tortured and imprisoned a number of times, you seen the scars, when you asked about them I just said it was work".

I continue to tell her what I do, she is a politician's wife so I think she can be trusted. She starts to cry, I didn't want to upset her. "What's up, I'm trying to disclose to you who I am", I say.

"I know, I know I'm just so stupid, I let you go, you could have died Nic, I would never have seen you again", she says.

"Waverly, you were never going to see me again anyway, you made that clear".

She stops and just tells me to wait, she wants to explain but I've had enough, I tell her my head is hurting and I need to rest, I don't really I just need to get away from her and her words. I don't need to hear anything else.
