Chapter 9 - Piece of a Fallen Angel
Meredith ran out to the car. She had no time to stop, and she didn't stop. The fact that her parent's might want to know where she was going and the fact that they would have wanted to know where she was going had completely skipped her mind. She started the car, knowing now her parents had already heard her run out of the house in a frenzy. She started her mother's car and drove, speeding a little but being very cautious not to get a ticket until she finally go to the emergency wing.
"Where is he?" She demanded several nurses.
"Where is who?"
"William Scully!"
"Are you Meredith?"
"Yes?" She turned to face a pretty intern with brown hair and green eyes.
"I can help you." She said. "But I need to ask you some questions" Meredith nodded. "First off, where are his parents?"
"You haven't been able to reach them?" She blurted out. "They're on vacation, um I have their cell phone numbers but please where is he?" SHe lied a little. Dana and Fox weren't on vacation, they were given a manditory leave because of their consumed effort to find William. She couldn't help smiling, but knew she was crying on the inside.
"Its alright Meredith, calm down a little. We have their cell phone numbers and we're trying everything to contact them. As an answer to you second question he's having a CAT scan. How are you related to the patient?" The intern said. She and Meredith began walking down the hall to one of the X-Ray rooms.
"Why does he need a CAT scan?" She asked.
"I'm not allowed to tell you anything else unless you are directly related to the patient."
God damn hospital interns, Meredith thought. She used her best acting skills.
"I'm his sister." She said.
"His sister." The nurse said nodding her head as if she was saying, That's a sad excuse for a lie.
"Okay so we dont look related but we are siblings."
"Right. My name's Trish by the way. He was found in a forest clearing a little while away from town. He had some odd marks on his head and some blood coming from his nose and right temple." She said. "Police have been finger printing and pardon my french but shit like that ever since the sheriff found him."
"Is he conscious?" She sounded like her godmother.
"He's been in and out since we got him here." She said. "All he can do is ask for you though. So we pulled some strings and here you are. Is a, is this a bad time?" She looked at Meredith's dress under Meredith's red dress jacket.
"I was just at Spring Formal." She said. "Can I see him?"
"He's still having some tests done but there's a waiting room over there. I'll tell you when he's in a room."
"Thank you." Meredith felt a little better. "And where's your phones?"
"Over there." Trish pointed her towards several payphones. Meredith nodded.
"By the way, Miss Doggett?" Meredith turned, flinching at her name.
"Next time, just tell me the truth." She opened the door to the testing rooms. Meredith sighed. Just so long as it wasn't a felony she had just committed she was okay. But in the mean time she had some parents to contact.
"Hello?" He dad came on the phone.
"Dad?"
"Meredith where have you been?" He demanded to her on the phone.
"Look I know your gonna freak." She said and sighed. She could hear his impatience on the other line. "William just sort of showed up in some forest clearing and he's in the hospital. I'm at Georgetown memorial."
"We'll be right over." He said.
"No wait, they can't get a hold of Aunt Dana and Uncle Fox." She never referred to Fox as Uncle and often forgot the aunt on Dana but she figured it was her parents. They were scattered brained people anyways. "Do you have a way of reaching them?"
"We'll call them on our way." Her mother was now on the line. "They gave us their number just in case."
"Thanks I'll see you guys when you get over here."
"Where are you?"
"Emergency waiting room." She said.
"Bye." She said, and the phone on the other line clicked. She walked to a chair and dropped herself into it. Several families were there, looking at her oddly. SHe had to admit she looked rather dumb in a full length gown and scarf underneath a formal red dress coat and Gucci pumps. Some children were playing with the toys and parents had magazines and their eyes seemed to go from the page to Meredith, back to the magazine.
The emptiness that was at Formal left her again, but filled her with despair. Were they even sure that it was William? She hadn't seen him in seven months. She looked at her Roxy watch. 11:36 She leaned into a wall. She was pretty tired. She looked at her watch. 11:37. Her head collapsed into her arms. She felt lost in a flash of pain for a moment.
"Miss Doggett." Trish had shown up beside her. SHe was on her feet in an instant.
"Whoa, its okay." Trish said. "He's not out yet. But the phone is for you."
"Have you reached his parents yet?"
"Yes, your parents called just a moment ago." She said. "They're on the next flight back from whereever they were."
"And another question before I take this call. WHat forest was he found in."
"It was a place about an hour out of Washington." SHe said. "Someones lake cabin."
Meredith's heart skipped a beat. That was had to be their cabin. And if it had been, he had been returned to the place where he had been taken. She took the phone from one of the secretaries. Trish went back into the testing rooms.
"Hello?" She said groggily, while watching for her parents outside.
"Hello Miss Doggett." She heard the voice, but was positive she had heard it before.
"Who is this?" She demanded.
"Just a friend." The man said. "You want answers don't you, about why William was returned."
"Yes." She said, unknowingly to the unknown source.
"After school tomorrow come alone to the park where you and WIlliam used to play as children." The voice said. Meredith had no idea why, but she listened. "I will be there and I can give you answers."
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Just remember Meredith, when blood comes from the holy wounds, blood comes from him."
"What?" She demanded him. But the voice was gone.
