The Dream Team and the Battle For Salvation
Disclaimers: I own nothing of the Nightmare on Elm Street series or the characters, they belong to Wes Craven and New Line Cinema. The story belongs to me everything else belong to the director and the movie company.
Warning:This is the final chapter to his version of the movie, as he deals with Krueger and then sees what she trying to tell him and he sees the parasite for who he is, as things change courses from here.
Chapter 12: Explanations, Burials and a Criminal Found
"The bonds between the kids are the reason this is effecting them so hard, their toddler bond reactivated once they were in range of each other, because they were never separated when they were little." he said and I nodded as that answered why the kids were like that together as I answered him at that then.
"Alright that explains that, but the reason I had to find you aside from this, is because Kristen is on the verge of a relapse, and Simms's decisions are pushing her closer and closer to it by the minute and tonight's stunt could have just triggered it, and everything they're doing is illegal, and I saw a look of relief in Carver's eyes that Joey that got put into a coma." I told him and he nodded. "It means whatever he's hiding has to do with those frequent drug busts and she's in on it as well, and if I find out they're harboring who my twin is looking for there in the hospital they're both going to jail when I find him."
"What else did the girls bring up, exactly if the Nancy brought me into it, making it clear in her statement that if I got involved so would my boss and team?" he asked and I told him my theory on my decision. "Whatever reason she had for blocking me from getting it for them, Nancy nailed her to the wall by bringing you into it, because she activated her position as proxy and gave me orders to get the kids their medication, Simms tried to me and I nailed her to it then."
"And whatever reason it is, has to do with the repeated drug busts your friends in the narcotic department are dealing with downtown, Kincaid also gave the parasite's initials in the session." I told him and he nodded. "The Nightingale is back to his old tricks, every bottle being used has the names of a couple friends of mine on them and they'd never steal narcotics or drug deal them."
"He's a drug dealer and rapist as well, but our teams haven't been able to find him, in five years, despite the fact we went to the hospital twice, but why would she bring that up?" he asked and I swallowed as I started adding it together. "She said your missing parasite is closer than we think, what does that mean, if she said you were going to tear a limb off when you heard?" I asked and his eyes narrowed at the wording as he told me.
"It means he's using his real name for his job, if she has his record and he's working there, he's going to get killed when I get through with him, the reason being I'm one of the officers who arrested him, he touches the girls at all like that, especially Kristen, she's my baby girl and if I find out he did anything to her I'm killing him myself, if she gives you a confirmation on this, never mind calling my unit, but get it directly from the files she's got and tell me later after we bury the bastard." he told me and I nodded.
"You said Roland gave his initials, what are they exactly, if my niece was furious enough to lose her temper tonight?" he asked and I gave it to him. "He said they were L.A.R., though I'm hoping I'm wrong I think I found your parasite for you actually, because my patients are afraid of him and see me and my team as surrogate fathers and your friend is working in the ward." I told him and he nodded as he answered me.
"If you mean one of my old high school friends, Fast Catch was studying to be a paramedic when we were Nancy's age and the last time I saw him was eight years ago, though she was sitting in front of him at the time." he said and I nodded. "Walter said he was a friend of yours actually, he's second in command of the teenage team, and showed me the photo of him, you and your friends on Tuesday, he also said if he knew the bastard on sight, he'd would have told you sooner, but I need to double check on exactly who he is, because the reports only give the alias, and I think she had the records needed for it." I told him and he nodded.
"If she does, she knows him on sight, the reports gave a description that could mean anyone in town that looked like that, but if her memory of the trial is back completely that's your only chance to get him jailed. The bastard attacks when the girls are either just starting or recovering from their cycles, and the six girls he attacked suffered illegitimate pregnancies and S.T.D.'s as a result, if he's screwing with your patients, the boys are going to do what Rod and Glen did and slam him into a wall or the bathroom door."
"Alright enough of the deflection crap, we're dropping the act and getting our gang back together, what is Simms doing that you needed to get me involved here?" he asked and I told him the truth of what was going on in the ward and the hospital at the moment, knowing he would be pissed at this.
"Well not only is Simms making matters worse within the ward, Kristen's been recovering from a collapse for the last few days after being admitted and Simms is not looking at the fact that she is far from fully recovered, and there is the possibility of a relapse and she couldn't care less that Kristen is on the edge of getting sick because of this, but she's on the edge of getting it." I told him and he nodded and I saw his eyes narrow at that.
"What caused her to collapse when she got there exactly?" he asked with a growl and I told him. "She's recovering from anemia, exhaustion and blood loss. She's been through several all-nighters the last four days and she's starting to get worse again, and like I said, she's on the edge of a relapse and that panic attack could have just triggered it tonight, because the asshole has the ability to do it in there now." I said and he nodded and I knew he was pissed at that as I tried to figure out why.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but what is she to you anyway, Jenkins said she's your God-daughter is that true?" I asked and he sighed. "Her mother is my best friend and she's my niece, the truth is I've been friends with their parents since we we were twelve, and the kids and older trio are my nieces and nephews and with that, I'm going to make sure the bastard gets taken down for this and when that's done, I'm going to deal with Carver and Simms and if she gets sick they are going to get it for that, she's my baby, and I'm not losing her any more than I'm letting my daughter go." he said and I nodded.
"Nancy said she saw a photo of you holding her when she was a baby." I said and he nodded. "Yeah that was when they were eight-teen months, and she was camera shy at that age, and it worked best if I was holding her at the time, because the pictures were taken at each of our houses." he told me and I nodded as I went for the next question on their bond, now knowing they were close, from the way Kristen described their relationship then as I got more information.
"How close was she to you as baby anyway?" I asked and he smiled as he went into that one. "I was her favorite out of my quartet, and Nancy thought of her as a baby sister and got overly protective. To put it gently, James, Jared and I were the ones she was closest to before the separation, and with the fact that I'm her mother's best friend, I'm taking charge now to deal with these people before something causes her to get sick and if she does, I'm going to kill them for that." he said with a growl and I nodded as I went into that area, I was also glad that I was not on the receiving end of it too, and I could tell whatever bond he had with her would explain her connection to Nancy, because his tone took on a tone of paternal love.
"She's more than just your niece right?" I asked and he nodded. "Yes, after she was born her mother named me her guardian if something ever happened to them, and she is my daughter's adoptive sister. The truth is she's my god-daughter, and in order of emergency contacts it was me, Jared, and James and the girls, because of our bond as a quartet, and like I said Joey is her twin brother, Roland is the one she thought of as her big brother and they were always together." he said and I nodded. "Who is her godmother, if Jared is second on the list?" I asked and he went into it.
" Sally is, in order it's me, than the Peterson's and the Kincaids. I take it Simms and Carver never looked at her records to know this?" he asked and I nodded."Simms was keeping this going for a while, but neither she, nor he, has read through the records completely to know this, but what is the duo's connection?" I asked and he explained it.
"James is Joeys godfather and vice versa, and it's the same for Jack and Damian, and the girls, the rest of the gang, or at least the eight of us reversed things here, but out of the younger gang I'm closest to the youngest members, Simms never read this information to know this, Adams and Jenkins haven't seen the kids in twelve years, so they don't know everything yet, but when they hear this, they're going to be pissed." he said and I nodded as I answered that as I looked at him gently to tell him.
"They didn't and with that, Simms just got busted for barring Nancy from seeing her, Simms has got it stuck in her mind that she's in charge of the kids, but that's part of the problem here and why I had to get get you, I made it clear if she kept it up in disrupting Kristen's condition I was calling you in to deal with this, because I had a hunch that you guys had been friends for years and that you took it seriously when it came to them." I told him and he nodded. "Yeah well, you had it right, and when the others hear this they are going to kill them, as for the person responsible for why we separated in the first place and the condition it had and has her in is Richard and I'll explain all of it later." he said and I nodded as I asked the next question. "How often was Richard missing back then?" I asked and he sighed and I could tell he was furious at her father for this.
"It reached the point to where she turned to us, Jack and Rob for that need of paternal attention, and I guess it got worse as she got older right?" he asked and I nodded. "After we calmed her down, she turned to me while we got her stitches reset and she relaxed automatically and our bond started getting stronger as the week went by, the reason being is she's suffering from paternal abandonment and at this age she's in need of a stable paternal figure, my co-harts think that's the reason she tried to kill herself." I said and his eyes narrowed in anger as he responded to that and I knew he was pissed.
"That is bull shit, she never would have done that, her loneliness would have pushed her closer to someone else like it did with you, but she never would have done that, we meant too much to her to do that, and he just made things worse, alright, so that explains some of it, but I have another question, why the hell did this doctor decide get her sister out of the ward?" he asked and I explained it. "I'm not sure, but I know she's been breaking the rules repeatedly, but that's where this gets serious, and it's because she's gone from being straight to losing her mind completely now, and when the head of the medical department hears what she's been doing he's going to kill her."
"She's lost her mind now and seems to think Nancy is making matters worse in the kids case, but everything she sees in the case of Nancy is completely reversed, the kids bond with her snapped back into place and the girls sister bond did too, and the idiot has got Carver breaking the rules left and right here, and to top it off Simms could have lit the fuse for the verbal explosion from all of this, this is pushing Kristen to the emotional breaking point and what happened today could have finally caused her condition to get worse, but that's why I had to get you." I told him and he nodded as he went into the reason for me, and I knew he wasn't going to like what he heard when I told him how she saw me and the reason for the relapse.
"This is the reason in Nancy's case, but why the hell did they fire you, aside from the prescription?" he asked and I gave him the truth on that. "Ever since the girls arrived, my connections to the kids shifted and I started acting more and more like her father and evidently she thought this was getting too dangerous and decided to get me out of the way and reported me, but this was a breach in the orders Adams gave and its the reason we came to see you, because things at the hospital are getting out of control." I said and he turned to me at the name. "Adams, Jane Adams?" he asked and I nodded.
"Yeah you know her?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah Erin has direct access to her and Daniel Jenkins, the three of the were in the same med school group when we were kids and they've been friends for twenty years, and when she hears the truth of this and what it's doing to Kristen she's going to be pissed and so will Daniel, because they take the kids health seriously, and with the fact you three are the ones taking care of her, you're off the hook right now, but I need to know about what those idiots did." he said and I nodded as I took a deep breath and told him the truth, knowing he would be pissed.
"Daniel is head of the medical department and Erin put them in charge of the kids medical care on their arrival, with the fact this could do a lot of damage tonight, he's going to be furious when I tell him what's been going on lately." I said and he nodded.
"Look, at the moment Simms and Carver are making Kristen's condition worse with every decision they've made in the last three days, and frankly all of those decisions are illegal as well too, and with the fact that you are now involved in this, I need your help to get them out of control of the ward before it causes her to get sick or worse right now." I said and he nodded as his eyes started blazing in anger as he answered that statement.
"How serious is it getting in her case?" he asked and I explained it. "She's had two all nighter's this week, and only two nights of rest, after the panic attack on Wednesday, she nearly fell asleep in my arms, because it drained her mentally and emotionally and I had to get her into her room to sleep it off, but every single interruption and violation is draining her more and they may have triggered the relapse by getting us out of the ward." I said and he nodded with a furious look and he went into the violations then.
"How many illegal decisions did they make this week anyway, because with the fact that Elaine is also on the jury she's not going to take it well when she hears this, because this will drag her out of her previous behavior like it just did me, because she's furious we can't find him right now and the duo are being framed." he asked and I went into that.
"They made ten to twenty illegal decisions each and at the moment several of them are malpractice as well, but this could be multiple felonies, whatever they are its serious." I told him and he nodded. "You can fill me in later on that, I swear I never thought I have to deal with another rampage like this after six years, since the last one was when Nancy and her quartet were nine." he said and I asked about that, but before I could, he went into how bad it was for Kristen.
"How serious is the anemia and lethargy anyway?" he asked and I went into that. "She lost three liters due to a cycle last week and the bastard slashed her wrist and he nailed a vein and she's been up for six months, and Adams gave orders to keep an eye on her for the last few days and my second in command, Nancy and I have been keeping an eye on her for the last four days, she had two nights of rest the entire week, but her condition is taking a dive and Simms as well as Carver made a massive breach of orders in her case, and I'm not letting them get away with it, because this could put her in the ICU." I said and he nodded as he answered and his tone turned deadly as he answered as he asked the next question on that.
"How serious is it right now in Kristen's case anyway in the last seventy-two hours if you had to get me?" he asked and I sighed as I went into it. "She's on the edge of a relapse at this point, and she got only two nights of sleep this entire week after the bastard killed Philip and Jennifer she was up all night on Tuesday and Wednesday and her condition started getting worse again, she had a couple of hot-flashes and a few dizzy spells, so if Simms did finally trigger it, it's going to take a month before she regains her strength." I said and he nodded.
"What's her condition right now, because you said she's on the edge of a relapse?" he asked and I knew he was going to be furious when I told him. "She's suffering from severe anemia and exhaustion, and the side effects are getting worse at this point, she was up for three nights this week and her complexion has paled and she looks like she a couple steps away from a relapse." I said and he nodded with a furious look on his face as he answered that.
"If Simms did anything to finally cause her to have it, I swear the four of us are going to make sure she winds up in jail for that and the same goes for Carver." he said and I went into his connection with them. "You said you grew up together, how long were you guys together before the separation anyway?" I asked him and he went into that.
"We were together for just short eight-teen years, right after we torched him, we put things on hold, though my quartet were keeping in touch for a few years before Kristen hit her tenth birthday, and Richard moved out of town when she was twelve." he said and I nodded. "Yeah well my bond with her has reached the point to where I think I took his place at this point, she hasn't said anything, but his leaving hurt her a lot and with Philip and Jennifer dead, it's going to do a lot of emotional damage, and with the fact your her uncle, if we can get your family back together, that'll help with the healing process at this point." I said and he nodded.
"Whatever Richard did to cause that he's going to get it at that point. So my niece sees you as a surrogate father, and you don't have to tell me about your relationship with my daughter, I've already figured it out, give me time and I'll get used to it." he said and I nodded. "She and I were trying to make sure nothing screwed up Kristen's recovery, but Simms has been breaking rule after rule, and I'll fill you in later." I said and he nodded in agreement as I asked about the rampage and how many were killed.
"How old were the kids he killed anyway?" I asked and he went into that. "From four to thirteen years old the last was Kristen's cousin who was five years, and that was the final straw for Rick and we got some more information on how he managed to keep from getting caught for three years." he said and I nodded. "What did he do to them after he killed them?" I asked and he went into that, and I could tell he was pissed at the memory of that. "He threw their bodies into the furnace that powers the entire town, we found some stuff of theirs' in the boiler room when this happened as well." he said and I nodded as I felt my anger at this growing as well, I was going to end this and protect every single kid in town and this was going to end now.
"What part of the department are you apart of anyway?" I asked and he went into that. "I'm head of the investigation team, but Henderson wanted me on stand down for a few months, because I figured out what was going on, but before I do could do anything I had to be sure of what was going on before you guys came to see me tonight, and with the fact that my nieces and nephews as well as you and my daughter are now involved in it, I'm ending this now. You said there was a massive breach of orders and it now has my niece on the edge of a relapse and two members of their gang dead, and her brother in a coma, well I'm looking into what goes on in that ward, and you can fill me in on what happened this week later, but both Simms and Carver are not getting away with this."
"Kristen's mother took the safety of their entire group just as seriously as I did, and when it came to work, she always took time off to be with her, and with the fact that Rick was gone constantly I took over in acting like her father back then and it reached the point to where our bond hit a father/daughter one when she a toddler and preschooler before the separation and with me back in her life, that'll help out, and like I said this will get her out of her previous attitude, when she hears that not only are the kids now in danger, but I've gotten involved in this and so have you, and she is going to tear their heads off for this." he said with a gentle, but firm tone in his voice, and I knew he was beyond pissed at what was going and so would the rest of their gang when they heard it.
"Who would be best to call in-in the case of their parents, because I don't doubt her memories of you and your friends are back completely now?" I asked and he explained that, and I could hear the shock in his voice as he answered me. "Out of my trio Jared would be best, if James hears what's going on over there and the condition it has her in, he will kill them for doing that to her, since when it came to the girls he would kill anyone for hurting them, and I think his protective personality was duplicated into Roland at this age, As for the quartet, Jack and Elliot would be next, because Rob is the same way James is and Damian would use his combat skills on those fools when he hears this and learning they killed his son, the reason being he's a retired army ranger, and he had level five combat skills, since he was also taking martial arts when we were kids and both together make a very lethal combination." he said and I nodded as I asked the next one.
"Aside from you, what did the guys do for a living?" I asked and he went into that. "James and Rob are both firemen, like I said Damian is in the army, Elliot is with me in the department, Jared is an EMT, and Jack is a construction worker, and he works with heavy equipment, Peter is working at the hardware store as a stocking loader, John is a executive and was out of town sometimes, and Derek is a gym teacher, and also ran martial arts classes, at times, but I haven't seen the trio in six years since 'he' killed the kids." he said and I nodded as I went to the legal stuff to find out who was in law.
"Who else in the family went into law, aside from you and Elaine?"I asked and he went into that. Elliot did, he's on the S.W.A.T. team, and is in the department with me, James, Jared and Erin went into medical, but we work together at times, but with the fact he just came after the entire group, we're going to be the ones to take care of her, and I'm dealing with those fools after we take care of the remains, are Jane and Daniel on duty tonight, because I need to see them, but if I wind up with another set of battle scars from this situation I'm telling him from my recovery room." he said with a bemused tone and I hid a smile as he added on to that with a gentle smile in his voice.
"I know what you're thinking here, but they and Erin have been friends since med school, and still work together, the reason being that any of the severe cases I catch, who have to be hospitalized for drug and alcohol abuse she sends to the psychiatric hospital if they're tried that way, and I've had several who need to be dealt with that way." he said and I nodded as I tried to process that.
"They both are, in fact Jane is the one treating Kristen right now, what do you want me to tell them if there is trouble while we do this?" I asked and he went into that. "Give them the cliff notes version, and once things have settled I'm calling the rest of my quartet and we're telling them our background with him." he said and I nodded as we ended our conversation, as I ran through everything I heard from him.
As we were heading up there, I heard a shout in my mind, 'Doctor Gordon, dad, I need you, protect me from him, please I need you now.' the voice called out to me, and though I heard the urgency in it, I didn't know who it was, as my heart started feeling the bond between me and whoever did that growing even more, as I got ready for what I was about to do here, feeling my anger rising as I thought over what I heard from him and what Simms had done to my surrogate daughter.
As what he told me shot through my head and I knew if I made sure this ended I was going to make sure I got my job back and help her recover if it finally triggered that relapse and if it did I was going to kill Simms for killing my patients and Carver for letting her get away with murder and him being an accomplice to it, and with the fact that the father of my girl-friend was involved, this was ending now.
As I finished thinking that I saw we arrived at a junkyard gate then."In there, we knew nobody would ever find in that place, I'm not so sure I can find it myself these days" he said with sigh and then continued. "Wait here." he added and he got out and unlocked the gate as I took the wheel and he then got back into the car. "Alright it's deep within the heart of the place, take it slow." he told me and I nodded to that, and drove us into it then, as I felt my trepidation shoot through me then at this.
As that one ended he decided to wait in case something had happened and waited for her to call to them as he remembered the final attack he and Donald had to deal with and how close they both came to being killed that night along with Nancy and the kids, when they both got their jobs back and when they gave Max the truth and when he had to deal with the condition she had been in during that time.
The Grave-yard, the Attack, and a Criminal Found
After fifteen minutes of driving he directed me to a spot and I stopped the car and looked around the car stacks, before it he pointed one out to me. "There, the red caddy." he told me and I headed over to try and get it open but it was rusted shut, and I had to wedge it open before I turned and saw him trying to take off on me before I grabbed the keys out of my pocket to tell him that he was staying put.
"Going somewhere?" I asked him as I showed him that I had them and irritated he walked over to me. "Look, I told you I would tell you where the damn thing was buried, but I never said I'd stick around." he said and I gave the reason for why we were there. "We've got work to do." I said and he looked confused at that. "What are you talking about?" he asked me and I got ready to tell him the real reason for why we were there. "You're about to attend a funeral, one that is long over due." I said and tossed the shovel at him as I grabbed the second one and we got to work.
"Look, Doctor, whatever comes out of this, I'm going to have to get things settled with my daughter, you don't need to tell me that you are close I can see that without you saying anything, but I need you to tell me what those idiots did to cause her sister's condition to get that serious that fast." he said and I nodded. "Alright, by the way it's Neil now, okay." I said and he nodded gently as he responded to that. "Donald." he said and I nodded as I gave a smile as we worked at getting things worked out and set up.
"Neil how close was it last night if she told you he was probably there?" he asked and I looked at him. "Enough that Kincaid practically broke his wrist in shoving him against the wall he thinks he sprained his wrist and Nancy dragged you into the warning as well, while Kristen's memory of you brought back enough that she knew you should be the one to bag him, I don't know what the bastard looks like, but her suggestion with Lorenzo was probably because he looks like his twin." he said and he looked at me at that as his eyes narrowed in concern then.
"Adam Rodriguez doesn't have a twin brother, if he's working at the hospital he's going by his first name, which is Lorenzo, but if the Nightingale is there and Carver knows what he is and never read his record he's screwed when I get through with him, because my god-daughter was doing date ratings when she told you this, it's November 23rd, the trial was four days ago, this is no coincidence, either fate was telling me to snap out of it or Krueger did this on purpose, who's this Walter exactly if he gave him that warning, because Bennett was working at the hospital as a medic the last time I saw him and Brecker was studying to be a medic as well and he's the older brother to the girl who was Natalie's best friend." he asked and I felt my shock go through me.
"Would the names of the cops who arrested him, be enough to terrify him, if you commed me automatically, I saw a look of fear in his eyes when she mentioned your previous rank?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah it would, my full name is Donald Eric Thompson, I was a homicide detective for nine years and I got my gold shield right after this escapade, our, mine and Nancy's, father/daughter bond was so close, she felt safest when around me after that, as for Kristen, if she mentioned knowing her way around the first floor it's because Marge and I babysat her for nine months before the separation at the time."
"Separations at this age did more damage than Rick knows, because she was clinging to me when they moved to where they're living now, she didn't want to let me go, when she saw me at the trial she was thrilled and wanted me to hold her again and the bastards just gave the perfect reason for me to be back in her life now, to protect both of them, if this means getting us back together, I'm taking it, because I'm facing this son of a bitch one last time for real." he said and I nodded to that explanation.
"What did Krueger look like before you torched him exactly?" I asked and he explained that as he pulled a photograph from the file folder in his truck and gave it to me. "That's what he looked like then, so if he chose tonight to get his hands on Joey it's because..., aw crap, tonight is the night we took him down, we burned him then hid him here, he's killed two of their gang and if Joey was captured and they find the bastard now it's because fate had a higher hand in mind and here's the reason for that, our families took them both down and God is giving me a reason to live again by simply facing my past to do it and the girls are the key, because it means I'm putting our family back in one piece, tonight."
"He just turned me back to normal, my daughters and their mothers mean everything to me he touches them and he's getting cooked and buried a second time here, looking at this with a clear head and I'm seeing it clearly with the skilled eyes of a cop, the trial was on Monday and they're reunited with each other, we lose two and he gets his hands on Joey tonight, tonight was the night he disappeared and I buried every bit of information on him and we chose to separate, if the dates keep up, I'm looking at the move into his house in three months down the line here same day, and we separated six months after that and she's not letting me go when that happened at the time, well those decisions are getting redone and reversed now."
"What they told you was right though, two dates in one week is unusual to some and most see that as strange but this not unexplained because they're both of parasites we eliminated or neutralized, it's not a coincidence they got reunited with each other or they find the bastard, I'm looking at a serious red flag here as a homicide detective and with that, the man upstairs chose now to snap me out of it by using my daughters and their gang to do it, whatever Kristen said about me was right, he destroyed my life, and I'm rebuilding it and getting my relationship with my daughter taken care of and back after this, as for him, he's getting it again for the fourth time in twelve years and as for Rodriguez, whatever she told you this afternoon I'm repeating it."
"To find him, if he's working in the ward, take off eight years to his appearance, exchange his uniform for a set of convict coveralls and if the duo did what their older brothers did, which was ram him into the door frame, he probably hit the lock and has a nasty bruise just at his hairline, if you find that and exchange the clear skin around his left eye for a black one, you'll have him when you see him and if Bennett is working in the ward there, tell him, Brecker, Adams and Jenkins to do the same, because they're all connected to us and they're going to see it first."
"As for the bastard, any information you have to tell me here, tell me tomorrow night, because we're running a sting operation and get my quartet involved, because their parents are going to kill them when they hear what the hell happened this week from you, alright, we do it your way here, come on let's get to work." he said and we started digging into the yard there. "I was actually going to ask about her next, but is your bond with her that strong, she compared me to you when I was spending some time with her?" I asked and he smiled slightly as he answered.
"Yeah it is, in fact I replaced Rick, because he was never around at the time and James, Jared, Rob and Jack were the same way with her, we took his place from an early age and she chose us, if it's the same here, he's not getting her back now, if he realizes he's been replaced now, by us and you, he's going to lose his mind finally, but we're making it clear he's not getting her back now and if she finds her future soulmate that's the final nail in the coffin, because he's lost everything thanks to the drinking, and the vengeance." he said and I nodded to answer that.
"Yeah she knows about your original choice, the kids don't blame you at all, but Rick screwed himself for life now, she knows about his catalyst and she's now so pissed she lost her temper finally, three years worth of anger got vented into what happened today and Simms is about to pull a code you're familiar with here." I told him and he looked at me as his eyes narrowed. "What code exactly?" he asked slowly and I let him have it, knowing he was going to kill them.
"Code six seven Foxtrot: she lost her temper finally and they sedated her, by they I mean Simms and Carver, that's why I had to get you, she's killed and it'll kill the quintet in the process, and code twelve Delta is running around the ward harassing my patients, and she just nailed him to the wall by bringing you into it, though you should know this now, the duo are blackmailing me to keep me from doing my job here with the kids." I told him and his eyes flared up in anger at that.
"She dies and I'm killing them myself, alright that does it, I'm reinserting myself back into her life now, she needs me and the guys, you find him and let him know he's not fooling you, if this results in another near fatal injury, I'm calling from my recovery room and telling him who I am and watch his face as I tell him everything, okay." he said and I nodded to answer that.
"Those old fools are blackmailing you, alright let me think it through here, if he's hiding in the ward, she just found him and reported it to you, you got the dirt on them, and they fire you for doing what should have been done, and because once it gets to me and Elliot, as well as my team, Bill Kopecky and my boss they're completely screwed, because her mother is going to find out next and they're going to jail, am I right?" he asked and I nodded as his eyes narrowed.
"Alright the game is over, after we do this we're dealing with them, you call their parents and vent everything you've been holding in, because the game is over, I don't mind you're with my daughter, but if that bond is where I'm thinking its heading you're now my son and with that you're a member of the gang, so with that in mind, you're family, and it's illegal to bar family from seeing the patient, let's just deal with that bastard and then Rodrigues is next on the list of busts I'm doing tonight, if he hears my voice or sees me face to face he knows he's completely screwed after that." he said and I nodded to that remark as we ended it at that.
'Doctor look out, he's coming for you, watch out!' I heard as a voice called out to me in my mind a second time, but I didn't know whose as we working, as I tried to concentrate as we worked. It was almost done and I had grabbed Krueger's bones out of the of the trunk when we heard a clicking noise and he stopped me, by grabbing my arm. "Did you hear that?" he asked and I stopped for a minute. "What?" I asked before I heard it too and he got out of the hole and, not moving, he whispered to me, as his eyes started searching out where it was coming from.
"Listen" he whispered to me and I nodded as I froze as well, and then heard a clear clicking noise as I said to him. "Someone else is out here." I said and he gave a shake of his head as he answered me. "No we're alone." he said and suddenly every single car in the place started turning on even though they were junk now and, after remembering what had happened during group that afternoon, I realized that he was about to attack us, but couldn't tell where or which direction he was going to come from.
'With adults if he can't scare them by being a monster, through being a boogieman, he's going to go to the next step and its poltergeist intrusions and Greek Legends, what with the fact that the earliest scary and fantasy movies were focused on haunted houses, greek legends and undead corpses, and get their attention through possessing anything thats considered junk now like cars and appliances.' I heard her voice say in my mind.
"He's close, if he's doing this he's turned himself into a poltergeist." I said and he nodded. "She say anything else?" he asked and I nodded. "The other step, if he's trying to come at us from all sides is he's going to..." I started to say and quickly said it as it hit me then. "Get the truck out of range now." I snapped at him and he nodded as he thought over what I said and his eyes widened as he got it.
As he realized what I meant and tried to get the truck out of range and a pile of cars landed on top of it as he turned back to me. "Bury the fucking thing!" he called out and I went to grab the bag and a skeletal hand ripped out of it and grabbed my wrist and, in shock, I backed up as Freddy came tearing out of the bag and I got my first look and saw what this thing was like as I tried to keep from getting impaled.
'My god this right out of my worst nightmares, alright dodge the damn knife.' I thought as I quickly dodged several swings of his glove as Donald realized exactly what he was dealing with and what Nancy had told him was the truth. 'She was right, my daughter had been right all along, you son of a bitch you're a dead man, Rick how could you do this to me, she's mine now, Krueger you're not touching my kids at all!'
'The bastard, all this time and he's the one who killed them, alright you asshole I know now and you finally pissed me off here.' I could see in his eyes and I knew his anger had taken total hold then as he called out to him, his tone turning low and dangerous then. "It's really you." he said with a low tone and Freddy turned to him as he growled.
"I killed you before you son of a bitch." he said with a growl and grabbed the shovel and tried to take him down before Krueger grabbed his wrist and lifting him up he threw him at the fender of the car that the bag had been in and he landed on a spike style fender as he looked at where it was sticking out of him. 'Just deal with him, it missed.' I saw his eyes say to me and I nodded as he came at me next then.
After that I tried to fight it out with him, but using his knifes, he got me across the chest and then using the shovel knocked me into the grave, it took about seven minutes for me to wake up, but Nancy's scream came through loud and clear to me. "Nancy." I whispered, before I heard Kristen mentally shout the words, five minutes into coming out of the unconsciousness he put me into. 'Dad hurry up and bury him, he's standing over me!' she shouted out and that did it as I heard the next callout three minutes later.
"Dad, she's got his glove dug into his stomach, hurry up though, because she's getting weaker by the minute, do it now.' she called out and I nodded to that as I pulled myself out of the hole and pushed him into it and popped the top of the bottle then."Please god, for the children, for Nancy." I said and then spoke the words then, as I remembered what my reverend said when it came to last rights as I spoke them out loud.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, lay the spirit to rest." I said after pouring the holy water over his skeleton, applied to the crucifix to his forehead and said the final words. "Rest in peace Krueger, may the lord have mercy on your soul." I said as I stood up and grabbed the shovel and started burying him, before pouring the rest of the holy water on the site.
"I hope you rot in hell, no matter how many times you come back you're not touching another child." I said, as I finished burying him, before turning to Donald then as I carefully got him off the car fender and down on the ground on top of my jacket, so I could see how serious it was and saw that he was beginning to bleed out.
"Donald can you hear me?" I asked and he nodded. "Hang in there, I'm not losing you." I said, as I grabbed the first aid kit as he grabbed my wrist as I wrapped the gauze around his chest and then, after getting the truck, we got out of there and I took him to the hospital. "Donald you still with me?" I asked him, knowing he was trying to stay awake from the shock, and he nodded. "Alright hang in there, we're there." I said and parked the truck, pulled him out and then wrapped my arm around him then to get him inside.
After getting upstairs I went to the medical floor. "Medic!" I shouted out and they quickly grabbed him and got him into the E.R. so they could deal with his injuries while I headed to the ward to check on my patient. "What happened?" Jenkins asked me. "I'll explain in a bit, but I have to check on her, because she's probably also taken damage as well. " I said and he nodded. "Alright go, we'll be down there soon, and I'll give the prognosis, just take care of her." he said and I nodded and got into the elevator.
After arriving at the ward, I went to check on my daughter and saw Max sitting next to her on the floor in a posture looking like she was attacked by a wild animal. "What the hell is going on around here?" he asked and I quickly sat down in front of her. "Tell you later, is she alright?" I asked him and he nodded quickly and I felt my relief go through me. "The boys, Nancy and Taryn?" I asked and he sighed.
"Nancy and Kincaid are alive, but we lost Taryn and Will." he said and I felt a jolt go through me at that. "You get Nancy upstairs already, because I dragged in her father, he was nearly killed tonight." I said and he nodded. "Yeah I took care of it already, before I remembered her reaction earlier and came to check on her and found her looking like she was attacked by either a wild animal or someone with a knife, what the heck is going on around here?" he asked and I sighed as I looked at her.
'Baby, what happened in there?' I asked her softly, knowing I could talk to her in her sleep after the last few tests we ran on that. 'He killed the others before Kin, Nancy and I could get to Joey, we're fine, though I'm not sure if Nancy is, but it's going to be mid morning before we can pull out, because she gave me too much I can't get us out tonight.' she told me and I mentally nodded. "Whatever killed the quartet, nearly killed the girls, Kincaid and Joey, Simms broke the rules and if this means what I think, she could have killed all of them tonight."
"Adams made it clear not to do or say anything to cause her to panic, and she did it several times this week, well her orders are getting neutralized when Adams hears this, Max for the time being, I may not be assigned to the ward as their psychiatrist, but you listen to me tonight, so we can get her checked out, I need to know something though here. How much did she give her anyway?" I asked him he looked at me with a furious look. "20cc's, and Nancy and Kincaid are unconscious." he said and I nodded.
"Yeah and I think I know why, but I need to get it confirmed first. Max I'm calling orders here, but screw what Simms told you get her into her room, she needs to be in bed and not stuck in here. What happened could have caused the relapse and if did something could cause her to get worse in this." I told him and he nodded in agreement.
"Her system is too weak for that dose, if she responds badly to it, I'm going to kill them for that, what happened tonight may have just drained what was left of her strength." I told him and he nodded as he looked at her with a worried look on his face. "Simms give you any orders a while ago?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah she and Carver said no one was allowed to see her, Nancy tried already and I barred her, but why would they do that, Jenkins said she was her adoptive sister, they said no one, including family?" he asked and and I felt my rage go through me as I told him.
"To make sure she dies through sedation they wanted to make sure no one could interfere with their plans Max, she's the witness they're trying to get rid of here, you very nearly could have been her murderer, if Nancy hadn't saved her life and I didn't look like I do now, it's time to ignore what they say and do what's supposed to be done." I said and his eyes flared up in shocked pain at that. "My latest I could have killed by not letting her sister see her, I lost two of my patients tonight and Kincaid is unconscious, while Joey is still out and Nancy is upstairs in the emergency room, alright that is it, enough is enough, I'm listening to you now." he said and I nodded to that.
"What are you doing in here?" I heard and turned to find Lorenzo standing there. "Doing what I should have done eight months ago, and get out of our way before I call the cops Lorenzo for interference in a patient's recovery, games over Lorenzo either stand down or you're being arrested now, she warned you that if you were hiding anything she was looking into it, we'll we did, now stand down, before I call the cops." I growled at him and he paled and backed away from me at that.
"You were relieved of duty doctor this is illegal." he said and I stood up and shoved him against the wall as the anger I felt all night at what they did shot through me and I knew the reason as I felt my anger, and it was the anger of a father protecting his daughter as I gripped his shirt tightly with my hand and he looked at me in shock then at the reaction. "I'm under orders from her godfather to check on her now get the hell out of my way right now, and as for that remark about broken and illegal orders, that's like the pot calling the kettle black here and with that."
"You call checking on your patients, after they get seriously hurt illegal, doing what should have been done, which is get them the damn dream suppressant, change the rules to help that patient heal faster, being the very thing she's needed for years, meaning a father, taking over from that man, doing what the proxy of the parents would have ordered, is illegal."
"You people are out of your god damn minds, because I will do whatever it takes to make sure my patients heal completely, shows over ass-hole, because that's not illegal, and everyone in the ward is going to agree with what I'm about to say next here, because you're screwed, but I have every ounce of information to make sure your partners wind up in jail for life, and I'll tell you something this is no longer just a scandal for you pal anymore, it's now an investigation here."
"I'll tell you whats illegal though, trying to keep a patient from recovering, holding them prisoner like this, giving them too much drugs, over use of this room, you people are screwed when I get through with you, especially if you're involved in this, and if you are you're toast when this gets to her mother, now again get out of our way, before I call the cops, her godfather was nearly killed tonight and two more members of their gang are dead, stay out of my way, you idiot, that girl is going to recover from this if I have anything to say about it, I don't care if I'm relieved of duty, I'm making sure she heals from this." I growled at him dangerously and he nodded.
"I'm only saying this once Lorenzo, if you're involved in this, I'm calling her godfather's team and you're going straight to jail along with them, because nothing is saving any of you from a jail sentence." I told him and he nodded and Eric looked at me. "Who's her godfather exactly?" he asked me and I answered that as I looked at my adoptive daughter. "Nancy's father Donald, he's the head of the investigation team, our conversation on Tuesday included him."
"She wasn't kidding when she said she would bring him in if something went wrong and now it has, and Carver, Simms, and if you, Lorenzo, are in this together, you're all going straight to jail, her mother is the jury leader, and Erin is an E.R. doctor, their families have been friends since they were twelve. Look we'll explain it later, but right now we have work to do." I said to him.
"Walter!" I called out and he ran up to me. "Get Kincaid into his room to sleep this off, whatever's keeping him under, after that get the first aid kit, we need to take care of her injuries, she's hurt." I said and he nodded, before he could answer me Max called out to me. "Doc you better take a look at this." he said and we went to look at her. "What the hell is that?" Walter snapped in shock as I shoved her sleeve back and saw several razor lacerations running down her arm and her shoulder.
"Those look like knife lacerations?" Eric said quickly and I answered that with a growl. "That's because they are, and the bastard has been here this entire time, we just couldn't see him, the son of a bitch is dead, we have poultergeist in this ward and I'll explain it later, but you'll hear the entire story from Donald when he comes out of the woods." I said and they nodded. "Where'd the bastard get a knife in here?" Jake growled and I quickly told him that and gave an abridged version. "The glove the slasher has is the cause of those injuries, except the bastards weapon is now in use as a poltergeist." I told him and Max looked at me in shock at that.
"Poultergeist, holy shit, that's how Philip got out the other night, Jennifer was thrown into the tv and I saw the results, when Simms ordered us to put her under tonight, she put up a fight, that bastard is the reason for that, fifty five deaths in ten months and the killer is a ghost. Alright, that explains Jesse and Dean, and.., Oh my God, Derek, Derek committed suicide to keep from getting killed by this bastard and its because he's killing my kids, four dead in four days and she's unconscious because of the sedative they gave her, and to top if off the god damn glove is the reason for those injuries."
"The bastard is invisible, whoever he is, I'm going to kill him a second time, those kids are my children and I'm getting vengeance taken out of his ass, if he ever comes back." Max growled dangerously, before I could answer him her voice took a strained tone as she let me know. 'Something's wrong, I feel like..' I heard her start to tell me before it suddenly cut off. 'Honey, honey what is it, honey stay with me, what's wrong?' I asked her quickly. 'Honey come on, answer me, what's wrong.' I said again, as whatever was happening to her hit then.
As Walter gently checked her shoulder she jerked and Max quickly held her legs down as a seizure hit and we quickly moved into position as we turned her on her side, Walter on one side of her, me on the other, "What the hell did they do to cause this?" Walter snapped and I answered that with a growl as he wrapped his arm around her waist to keep her from from turning on her back, we had two or three patients who suffered from epilepsy and we all knew if this happened the anemia had finally hit a dangerous stage and she needed medical attention fast.
"Aw god, they doubled the dose, and they poisoned her, Doc, she needs the neutralizer now!" Lorenzo snapped and I nodded. "What the hell did they give her exactly to cause this? If you're just telling me that now?" I snapped at him and he quickly answered me. "Walters version of speed, that triggered the panic attack earlier and they doubled the dose of sedative into her, to neutralize them both and whatever else they drugged her with, hit her with the neutralizer it's going to counteract it, do it now!" he said quickly.
"They gave her too much, she's having a seizure, hold her!" I snapped to them as I focused my attention on her through our bond, knowing she could hear me as I kept my tone gentle. 'Its alright baby, hang in there, it's almost over.' I thought to her gently, the connection was disrupted, but I knew she heard me tell her that. "What is causing that?" Eric growled and I knew that the guys were furious at them and I quickly explained it.
"You remember what caused the panic attack on Monday when she got here?" I asked and they both nodded. "Like the others she's afraid to sleep, because whatever is causing these reactions is causing these injuries on the kids, Nancy suggested that dream suppressant, to put an end to those dreams, what Simms did is illegal and this is the result of their idiocy, and when their parents hear this they are going to kill them." I said raising my tone to Lorenzo angrily and he backed up with a pale look on his face at that.
"The damn sedatives are causing this, they overdosed her, deliberately, get Jane in here now, we have to neutralize that dose, now go!" I snapped and Eric got up and went to the phone and five minutes later she came into the room. "What happened now?" she snapped as she caught her arm to hold it it down as the tremors started getting worse and I explained it to her. "They broke your orders, after an emotional outburst, Simms ordered Max to sedate her and did it in front her and it caused a panic attack, they gave her too much, and it caused this and she's got several injuries as well." I said and she nodded with a pissed off look at that.
After getting down next to me, she pulled a dose of neutralizer that had a very small dose of sedative and injected it into her system after a minute the tremors eased and she relaxed as Adams checked her over and than checked her temperature, as she gently stroked a hand through her hair and looked at us with a concerned and angered look in her eyes than.
"Did you just neutralize the dose they gave her?" I asked and she nodded. "Yes, she should wake up in a few minutes and maybe we can find out why the hell they would do that?" she asked and I answered that. "She lost her temper because I was taken from her, me and Nancy, as for reason number two she gave me some information you're not going to like when you hear it Jane, because it's about the missing narcotics from the dispensary, they know who it is." I said and she nodded as she looked at her then as she double checked and then smiled in relief.
"How much was in the neutralizer you gave her?" Walter asked and she explained. "Whatever they gave her I doubled the neutralizer to get all of it out of her system, we just have to wait it out now, but sedative is only at the normal dose in her case." she said and we both nodded in relief at that as she looked at him, Max and Eric then with a firm look as she went into it then.
"Alright that took care of it, now who's the idiot who gave her that dose when she is in no condition for it?" she asked sternly and Eric shoved Lorenzo forward at that as Max answered her then. "It was him doctor, whatever her energy level was before this happened just got factored into it, because she collapsed right after he did it, I think she finally had that relapse to cause this as well." Max told her and she nodded with a furious look on her face at that.
"I didn't set up that dose Doc I swear, it was the duo, this was attempted murder, I was going to turn myself into you and Thompson, as well as Parker, before she reported it to you, but they wanted to plug every leak to prevent that truth from getting to the cops. I'm who you've been looking for this entire time Dr. Adams." he said and she nodded at him at that. "You got to be kidding me, you're just telling us this now."
"Why they'd fire us for doing the right thing?" I asked and he looked at me. "Because you prescribe that, release them and they tell their parents I'm hiding in plain sight of the only members of my previous conviction of the last trial, but she busted me last night and then said she remembers everything. But she tells you and Nancy, you tell her father and the trio are screwed, they wanted to prevent that all costs." he said to me.
"Who did this exactly?" Adams asked and he sighed as he yanked something from his back pocket. " Here's the list of drugs that they're framing you for Doctor, you got five percent of the orchard here working for Reynolds and I'm turning them into you now, and me along with them, I'm not an orderly." he said to her and Max gently pulled Kristen closer to him and she laid her head against his leg.
"Did you ever study drug doses, if the patient is in the condition she is now the dose is no higher than 10cc's, this is malpractice and it's illegal, those kids are our responsibility and we lost four this week, all three of you are in trouble here, now have you ever studied paramedics and medicine?" she asked and he shook his head and Max turned him around at that. "No I haven't, I never went to medical school." he said to her.
"You never did a stint in a medical hospital, alright with that in mind let me make this plain to you, because you could have killed her: before working here we work in a real hospital as regular EMT's and orderlies and we go to medical school, we study every medical situation there is and learn drug dosing in the process, that's what being an orderly really is Lorenzo, how many times have I told you this since you started working here exactly, because you keep breaking my orders, alright with the fact this just came up now, I'm reading the riot act to you now."
"Working at a psychiatric hospital and dealing with situations like this are part of our job, as orderlies we're medical assistants, our code is the same as the medical doctors, we don't hurt our patients and we study medicine for years as orderlies, and with the fact our patients are children, we act as parents to them, what are you exactly if you're not a orderly or a paramedic, if she fought to get out of your grip, both tonight and on Monday, but responded to me tonight, like I'm her adoptive uncle and him like he's her father, because what happened tonight is going too far?" he asked with a stern growl and I watched him as he looked between them as I saw the edginess start becoming more clear as I could practically hear him thinking he's screwed.
"And just what the hell happened to your forehead exactly?" Walter added and he sighed. "My fatal mistake, I just exposed myself completely to the duo's daughters by trying it on her last night and word for word, what Lane told me eight years ago. So Walter you do the math here, when's the last time you saw me at the time. Rod Lane, Glen Lantz and the girls." he said and hearing him say that I got better look at him.
"'Take eight years off him, change the clear skin around his left eye for a black eye, look at his left temple, because there is a scar left over from the previous attack attempt and a knife fight five years ago, and change the orderly uniform for a set of convict coveralls, and you'll find him that way.' I heard her voice echo in my mind and looked at him more closely then.
As I made the changes she told me to, I saw what it was she wanted me to see and I saw a sick demeanor and an act of arrogance from not being found by the cops for five years as I felt my anger growing. 'Son of a bitch, she was telling me the truth, alright enough is enough, you're going down now you asshole.' I thought as I looked at him and the quartet saw the look on my face. "What, what's wrong Neil, why are you looking at him like you're ready to tear his head off." she asked and I focused my attention then as I injected a dangerous growl into my voice.
Thats the end of this chapter as he then tells the others what caused the out break in the next four, before he gets their parents to the hospital to tell them as the aftermath of the night gets started now.
