Chapter 34 (Visiting the Hospital)

"So, you were born in the General Hospital?" Jade asked as she and Angie drove down the streets of the city. Jade drove her car to the sandwich shop, and they figured to use that instead of walking. "Did they suspect anyone back then of the abduction?" Angie shrugged and stared out the window, if her hunch was correct, the first thing she was going to do was get help for Tanya.

"You know we're just going on a hunch," Angie said while letting out a small chuckle. "I mean, it's probably everyone's dream to be related to the president, if not the president themselves. It could just be coincidence, and we don't even know where President Benson's lost twin was born." Jade nodded her head and stopped near the General Hospital, Angie didn't even know what she was going to do from this point on. The girls exited their cars and walked toward the hospital. "I just want to know what my real last name is."

"Yeah, that's where you can start, but how are you going to figure it out?" Angie smirked and looked over at Jade, it was simple, there were not that many abductions that happened sixteen years ago at the hospital.

"Okay it was sixteen years ago, and on the same night as a nurse quit her job and a doctor was found murdered. Somehow, I think I'm wrong, but I think Tanya was that nurse. I think maybe she was raped and forced to live with the man claiming to be my father. That man rapes her often enough, it's nauseating." Angie placed her hand on her stomach and groaned as she felt a churning.

"Yeah, let's not talk about that." Angie nodded and Jade opened up the door. The two girls walked to the front desk of the hospital, not sure of what they were going to say. Surely, if they said they thought Angie was the President's daughter, they would be classified as crazy and sent to a mental institution. The lady at the front desk held up her finger, motioning the girls to wait till she was off the phone. Jade shifted her eyes to Angie and whispered. "My father is the best lawyer and artist in Seattle, he can help us with this after we're done."

"I'm not sure, wouldn't he want to find out a bunch of other stuff?" Jade shrugged in response and let out a small sigh. The woman at the desk hung up the phone and smiled at the girls.

"Hello, how may I help you two?" The woman asked. Angie gently clenched her fist and thought for a moment, still trying to figure something out. She took a deep breath and crossed her arms.

"We're doing a history project," Angie started. Jade blinked and looked over at her, she glanced at the woman and nodded her head in agreement with Angie, wondering what her friend had planned. "It's on the tragedy of the General Hospital, sixteen years ago." The woman's face darkened slightly and she shifted her eyes toward the desk.

"I see…so you want to know about that. We were put into even more feelings of guilt when the father of that child became the President…" The words were spoken under the woman's breath, but it was enough for Angie to hear. Her eyes widened and she felt as though her entire body was shaking.

"So, there was-"

"Oddly enough, it was the only baby that has ever been abducted from this hospital." Jade let out a small gasp and Angie tried to remain calm and collected. Slowly, she was finding out that she was indeed Angie Benson, the president's daughter. Of course, it could have all been coincidental, and Tanya could have been wrong about where she was born.

"D-Did you have a nurse working here at the time, named Tanya?" The woman looked up and tapped her chin, she hadn't worked at the hospital for very long, but she knew about the baby. She didn't know much about the nurse or the doctor.

"I think there was. You really should talk to the doctor on staff at the time, actually the only doctor that still works here that was around sixteen years ago. He is Dr. Richards, let me see if he's free." Angie nodded her head while the woman phoned the man. In a matter of five minutes, the woman hung up and looked at the girls. "He can see you now, his office is down the hall and to the left. You can't miss him."

"Thank you very much." Angie smiled and Jade nodded her head. The two girls then made their way to Dr. Richards's office, Angie stopped and Jade glanced at her with a concerned look. "Do you think this might have been the doctor that birthed me?" Jade raised her eyebrow and shrugged.

"So what if he is?" Angie shook her head and chuckled nervously as she continued walking, she never once imagined meeting with that doctor. She walked up to the office door and looked into the window, she could see the man sitting patiently at his desk. Slowly she lifted her hand and knocked on the door, he signaled her to enter, so she did.

The doctor appeared to be in his late fifties, and had graying hair. He had a moustache and deep brown eyes. "Good evening, I assume you are the girls working on that research project that Betty told me about?" Dr. Richards said while smiling at them.

"Y-Yes sir, my name is Angie and this is my friend Jade." Jade smiled and waved her hand through the air as she and Angie sat down in the two leather chairs. "We were hoping you'd be able to enlighten us on a few details…" The doctor rubbed his chin and nodded, he noticed that neither girl had any utensils for research.

"You wanted to know about the missing infant." Dr. Richards shifted his eyes to the side and let out a small sigh. "I'm the doctor that gave birth to that child." Angie's eyes widened in surprise, he could tell her about her mom and dad. Her breathing started to become slow and her chest heaved out slightly.

"I see." Angie stopped any possible tear from falling and smiled politely at the doctor. "It must be a harsh experience."

"Angie Benson was her name, and her brother was Daniel Benson. I was extremely distraught that someone managed to abduct that little girl, and no one knows what happened to her." Dr. Richards closed his eyes and frowned, possibly fighting new tears from an old memory. "Ms. Benson, she broke down and cried right there, we thought she and her husband were going to have heart attacks. Their eldest daughter, Rebecca was begging for them to stop crying. She was a five year old girl at the time, and knew nothing about what was going on." Angie swallowed hard and felt tears starting to roll down her cheeks, she could see the visual image of her parents breaking down over her loss.

"The baby was never found? No one knows if she's alive?" Angie looked down at her feet and Jade slowly rubbed her back.

"Daniel seems to 'know' she's alive." Angie then looked up and stared at the doctor, interested in how he might feel that way. "He says that he can 'feel' her out there. He says he knows she's crying and that she's in pain."

"H-How can that be?"

"It may be a twin thing, but he always has said that he felt when his sister was happy or sad. So he's positive she's alive, but no one knows where." Angie felt her body starting to shake again and Dr. Richards just stared at her with interest, he rubbed his chin and shrugged his shoulders.

"Did you have a nurse at the time named Tanya?"

"Ah, Tanya…" The doctor smiled and lifted his eyes upward. "Yes, she was new to the staff. She was a beautiful and vibrant woman, always eager to come to work and do what she could to help anyone out. She never let anything bother her. She would sometimes tell the funniest jokes and always laughed, she lightened everyone's hearts just by her presence. She was truly a wonderful woman." Angie's lip trembled and her heart dropped as she remembered the soulless eyes that had looked to her earlier in the day.

"She was always full of energy?"

"Yes. The greatest feature about her was probably her eyes. She had beautiful eyes that always seemed to shine. No matter how she looked at you, be it determination, hope, hate, or whatever it was, those eyes always shone."

"And she just…vanished?" Angie's voice started to crack and Jade cast a worried glance toward her friend.

"If you wanted to say that. She called us up a day or two after the baby's abduction and said she wasn't coming back to work. She was bawling, in fact, the whole staff was confused and upset when she quit. She had no reason, she didn't even say why she wasn't coming back, and nobody really heard from her again."

"She was abducted too?" Angie shook again and the tears seemed to flow more fluently than before. The doctor looked at her with great concern and slowly stood up.

"Are you okay?" Angie didn't seem to respond, all the news was just overwhelming to her. The same woman she had locked eyes with earlier, the same woman that always seemed so lifeless, had once been so happy and full of energy.

"I hate him…"

"What?"

"I hate that bastard." Angie clenched her fists and tightened her grip. Her body shook more and a growling sound was heard from her throat. She opened her mouth and a sound similar to that of a roar escaped her lips. "I hate Jonah! That bastard took me away from my parents and shattered Tanya's soul! Why the hell did he do that!"

"Angie!" Jade exclaimed. She quickly jumped up and wrapped her arms around Angie in a hug. "It's okay, don't worry." The doctor couldn't believe what he had just heard, his mouth fell open and then formed into a subtle smirk.

Angie seems mad, she seems to have the Benson rage as well.
