Chapter 11: Dr. S. Reid talks to Dr. Brackett

A few minutes later Dr. Brackett is finished with eating his lunch,and after he gets done eating his lunch he exits his office,and he comes back into my I.C.U room to see how I am doing. I have woken up from the anesthetic that was given to me before my surgery,and I'm breathing a little bit easier since I have been on oxygen.

Dr. Brackett first looks at my medical chart,and then Dr. Reid asks him if he can have a talk with him.

Dr. S. Reid exclaims to Dr. Brackett,"Doc can I talk to you for a few minutes please?"

Dr. Brackett responds back to Dr. S Reid,"Sure what's up? What's bothering you?"

They go out into the hallway to talk.

"It breaks my heart to see Ashley in the condition that she is in. How could anyone mistreat a child like that? Especially one who is an orphan because her parents have died."

"Yes,I know that it does,and it breaks my heart to. Because some people don't care about others,or their lives even."

"I know that Doc,but I wish there was something more that I could do for her the poor little child she's so fragile,so sweet,and so alone."

"You did the very best thing that you could have possibly done for her you found her,got her medical help right away,and then brought her here to the hospital with the help of two very specially dedicated paramedics John Gage,and Roy Desoto."

"Yes,but I wish that I could provide her with a home,but I work 24/7 it wouldn't be fair to her for me not to be around besides she needs an adequate life more than what I could provide for her."

"I know someone who might be able to give her a home."

"Who would that be?"

"John Gage would you like for me to call him?"

"Yes,I would like for you to talk to him. If he wants to take Ashley I'd be glad to release her into his custody."

"I'll get a hold of him as soon as I possibly can,but first we have to discuss it over with Ashley. We want to make sure that she will be happy there with Johnny."

"Ok,I'll talk to her about it,and see what she says."

"Ok,good idea."

Dr. S. Reid comes back into my I.C U room,and he sees that I am still awake. He talks to me.

Dr. S. Reid exclaims to me,"Ashley I have a question to ask you."

I respond back to Dr. S. Reid"Yes Dr. S. Reid what's on your mind?"

"You're looking for a new home right?"

"Yes,I am."

"Would you like to live with paramedic Johnny Gage?"

"Yes that I would why can't you take me in?"

"Because I am an FBI agent,and I wouldn't be around much you need someone who can take care of you,and provide you with a better life than what I could."

"Ok,I'm sad that you can't take me in."

"I am to,but I have to do what's best for you."

"I know that you do."

Dr. S. Reid exits my I.C.U room,and he goes back out into the hallway. I fall back to sleep for a while. Dr. S. Reid talks to Dr! Brackett some more.

Dr. S. Reid exclaims to Dr. Brackett,"I just got done talking to Ashley,and she said that yes she would love to go live with Johnny. I explained the reason to her,and she understands that I have to do what is best for her. I have now decided to release her into his custody."

Dr. Brackett responds back to Dr. S. Reid,"Ok thank you for all your help I will call Johnny right now,and talk to him."

"Ok,Doc well I have to get going we've got to solve the rest of the case I'm needed back at FBI headquarters."

"Ok,Bye Dr. S. Reid."

"Bye Dr. Brackett."

Dr. S. Reid leaves the hospital,and he goes outside. He gets into the FBI vehicle,and he turns on the engine of the vehicle. He drives out of the hospital parking lot,and he drives back to the FBI headquarters.
