CHAPTER SIX
"Here you go. I hope you like it." Wolf said as he placed the tray in front of Virginia. She examined the dish, took a bite, and said:
"This is great! I didn't know that you can make an omlette."
"Bacon omlette my dear." he said as he sat beside her. "Our cub and you need bacon... for.. for your health."
"Oh, why? And why exactly bacon?"
"Tom told me that you must have milky stuff and meat. And bacon is meat. he said other things too, (scratches his head) it was about vegetables, but I forgot what they were. And something about some kind of ...umm..vita..vita.. well, I don't know what he was talking about."
"Vitamins" Virginia said with a full mouth.
"Maybe, I don't remember. He said that you can get these by eating vegetables."
"I know that sweety. Want some?" she offered him some omlette.
"No thanks, that's for you and cubby only. But to tell the truth. I don't like the idea of you eating vegetables. What if cubby turns vegetranian? A vegeteranian wolfie?? That's..huff-puff! I don't even want to think about it!" He covered his face with his hands.
"Wolf, if I eat vegetables that doesn't mean that our little one will become vegeteranian." She put the tray on the little table near the bed. And put her arm around his shoulder "I'm sure that everything is going to be OK with him."
He looked at her, for a moment not believing what she said, but when he saw the caring look in her eyes, oh thse eyes that he always admired and loved, he smiled.
"I don't know how my life would've been without you." He told her.
"You would've been cooked up at little lamb village."
"Don't remind me of that, please. I hate every single minute that I stayed in that village."
"Not that I liked it. You yelled at me. You were like going to kill me that night."
"Virginia, my love, I wasn't me at that night. It was full moon. And you know that I can't control myself on full moon night."
"I know."
"But I would've never hurt you. Huff-puff, never!"
"How can you tell?"
"Wolves never hurt their mates. I may say some stupid stuff, but I wouldn't hurt. You are my mate for life Virginia. I love you."
"Wolf, I love you too. And no matter what I'll always be at your side."
Wolf put his palm on her face, and kissed her soft lips.
"What do you want to do today?" he asked her.
"I don't know. How about going to the hospital to see the doctor?"
"Good idea. Should we call him?"
"Yeah, it would be better. But no, let's go and surprise him. What do you say?"
"I love surprises! Oh, and how about going out tonight? Let's go to Mary's club."
"I don't know. If I feel good untill evening, we'll go, OK?"
"Deal!"
Wolf helped Virginia to clean up their bedroom a little bit. Then they both got dressed and went to the hospital where Tom worked.
"Will he be there?" Virginia asked on their way to the hospital.
"I hope so."
"We should've called first."
"It's only noon, he will be there, even if he was night shift yesterday."
"Maybe. At least I hope so."
Finally the taxi stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Wolf payed the driver with the money that Virginia gave him earlier, and they entered the hospital and headed to the reception.
A nurse was sitting there writing some papers, Wolf knocked on the desk to gain her attention.
"Excuse me miss." he said.
"May I help you?" the nurse replied with a smile on her face (as all the nurses should do).
"We're looking for Dr. Tom. I don't know his last name." Wolf said.
"Oh, he's not here today." the smile faded from her face.
"Is there something wrong with him?" Virginia asked.
"One of his patients has died last night, due to a sudden heart attack. He was going to take care of him. Are you his relatives?"
"No, I was hopig to get a check up." Virginia said.
"Well, we have other doctors, if you would like."
"No thanks. I wanted to see Tom."
"Do you have his address?"Wolf asked.
"I'm sorry, but we're not allowed to give any personal information Sir."
"Don't worry, it's OK. We understand." Virginia said.
"Thank you anyway." Wolf said, and he and Virginia went back out.
"What was that all about?" he asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Why didn't she give us his address?"
"Wolf, staff information is confidential if you're not a staff member."
"And how're we supposed to know where to find him now?"
"It's not that urgent, we can see him later."
"Cripes! I almost forgot about it!" he hit his head with his hand.
"What is it?"
"He gave me his numbers. It's on a card somewhere here." he started to search his pockets until he found it. "Here. Do you know this address?"
Virginia looked at the written address, and she knew exactly where it was.
"Yeah, I know where it is. but I don't think that it's a good time to go and say we want you to check me up."
"It wasn't like one of his family died. Just one of his patients."
"Wolf! That's awful!"
"What did I do now?"
"Just one of his patients" she repeated angryly. "He cares about them. You saw how he treated me when he came to our house. Like he was family!"
Wolf dropped his head down, as a sign of appology. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."
"Let's go to see him now, ok?"
"Alright."
They took a taxi and headed to Tom's house.
When they got there, they went to the door.
"I smell something strange Virginia." Wolf looked concerned.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm not sure, but I don't like it."
When they were at the door, Wolf wanted to knock, but at the first knock the door opened by itself.
"See what I mean?" he turned to her.
"Let's get inside, and what happened."
they went inside, and the house was turnd up-side-down. Dishes, glasses broken on the floor. Vases, little statues also broken, smashed up TV.
"Wolf, I'm scared." Virginia said. "Looks like someone wanted to kill him."
"No. He did this. I smell him only." Wolf continued to sniff around the room to know where to find Tom.
"Tom?" he called loudly, but there was no answer. "Tom, are you here?" he called again. but no answer.
"Virginia, you wait here, and I'll see where on the swamp lake is he."
"OK, but don't get hurt please."
"I won't. Call me if you notice something strange. But I know that he's alone."
"O.K."
Wolf followed Tom's scent, he went through the living room to the corridor, then upstairs, clearing his way up from broken pieces of statues and pictures, until he felt the scent getting stronger. Finally he entered the room where Tom's scent got the strongest.
Wolf opened the half closed door, entered and saw no one. But he was sure that Tom was in there.
"Tom?" he called. He searched around the huge bed that was in the middle of the room and found Tom lying down on the other side of the bed.. unconsious.
"Tom!" Wolf called and ran to his side. He sniffed the air around him. "What were you thinking?" Tom smelled alcohol. He was holding an empty bottle of whiskey in his hand, and two other bottles were thrown on the ground.
Wolf grabbed him under the arms and pulled him up to the bed.
"Virginia! Will you come here please?" He called her.
"Wolf where are you?" She called back.
"Follow my voice, I'm over here, in his room."
Virginia entered the room and was stunned by what she saw. A huge room, which apparently has been so beautifully decorated, was messed up. And on the bed was Tom, and Wolf was trying to wake him up.
"What happened to him?" she asked.
"I guess he was drinking that stuff." he pointed to the bottles.
Virginia picked one of the bottles and read what was written on it.
"Whiskey. God, he drank three bottles alone? Wolf, we have to call an ambulance."
"Yes, please do so, I don't know the number. I'll try to wake him up." he turned to Tom, shaking him a little."Tom, can you hear me? Open your eyes please." No reply.
Virginia searched for a phone in the room, but found is broken into parts. She went back to the living room hoping to find another one, and she did. This one wasn't damaged. She called the ambulance, and went back upstairs.
"The'll be here in 5 minutes." she said.
"But he's not responding. He's alive, but not responding Virginia."
"Wolf, he's so drunk that even if he opens his eyes, he wouldn't even remember his name."
Virginia heard the voice of the ambulance approaching.
"They're here, I'll bring them." She said and went out.
She got downstairs, and went out of the house. A doctor with a nurse came fast.
"Where is he?" he asked.
"Upstairs, I'll show you."
"I know exactly where he is." the doctor said and ran inside the house.
Virginia got confused at the doctor's behaviour, but followed him silently. the doctor seemed to know exactly where he was heading. He enetered the bedroom and quickly went near Tom.
"What the hell, were you thinking about!" he said while he was listneing to Tom's heart beats.
Wolf went near Virginia, wondering what was it with that doctor.
"Virginia, this guy here is acting strange." he whispered to her.
"Yeah, when I said that I'll show them the way upstairs, he said that he knws exactly where to go."
"Nurse, call the men to help me with him. we're taking him to the hospital." the doctor said.
"Yes doctor." the nurse replied and went out quickly.
The doctor turned to Wolf and virginia.
"Who are you?" He asked them.
"Umm, we're just friends." Wolf replied.
"But I don't know you."
Virginia looked at Wolf and then to the doctor. "We're new to the city, and met Tom a few days ago. He saved my life."
"He does that very often." The doctor replied dryly, but then he felt sorry for his voice tone.
"I'm sorry. I'm Daniel. Tom's best friend. That's why I said I don't know you."
"It's OK doctor." Wolf said. "I'm Wolf, and this is my..wife (he looked at Virginia not sure if she would accept the word -wife-) Virginia."
"Nice to meet you both." Daniel replied.
Tom was put in the ambulance, and took to the hospital. Virginia and Wolf stood in front of the house, not knowing what to do.
"Should we call Mary?" Wolf asked.
"I don't know Wolf. I don't think that she would care."
"Why do you think like that?"
"I don't know. Let's go home, OK?"
When they were home again, Wolf entered the kitchen.
"Virginia, are you hungry?"
"Not really, just tired."
"Well, I'm hungry. You go to rest."
"I am going." she smiled, and went to her room.
"But I still think that Mary should know." Wolf said to himself. "I must tell her. I'll go to her show tonight. Even if Virginia doesn't want to come."
*^_^* *^_^* *^_^* *^_^*
Mary woke up at 6 PM. she didn't realize how much she slept, until she looked at the clock.
"Oh my God. Did I sleep all day? Wow!" She said to herself, and got up. She got dressed and went to the kitchen to have a snack. That's when the phone rang.
"Hello?" she said.
"Mary? This is Wolf."
"Oh, hi Wolf! how are you?" she replied very happyly.
"I'm fine. I wanted to know if it's possible to come to the club tonight."
"Are you comming with Virginia?" she hoped that he would say no. And he did.
"No, she's tired. Something ha happened today, and I want you to know."
"You can tell me on the phone."
"No, I must see you. This can't be told on the phone."
Mary thought for a moment. If he wants to see me to say something, then, I must take the chance.
"Mary? Are you there?"
"You know Wolf, I don't have a performance tonight. So, you can come to my house."
"Really? But I don't know how?"
"I'll send a car to pick you up at 8 o'clock. OK?"
"OK, thanks."
"Not at all. See you at 8."
"Sure, bye."
They hang up the phone. Mary was excited.
"Grrrrrreat! This is my chance. I wonder what Tom would say? Hmm, may I should call him." she picked up the phone again, to call Tom. She dials the number of his house, but there's no one there. She dials his mobile number, but he doesn't reply.
"Where on earth is he?" she shrugs and goes to the kitchen. "Maybe he's with Daniel."
Oh, he was with Daniel indeed. But this time, not in a club or a bar, where they usually went together. He was in the intensive care unit. Different types of wires connected to his body. Daniel didn't move an inch away from him. He sat there, checking his friend's pulse, blood pressure. But his friend was still unconcious.
Daniel was Tom's classmate at the medical university. They studied together, and after graduating they decided to work in two different specialties. Tom chose plastic surgery, and Daniel chose Emergency. They always argued about whose job was more important, but they never faught about it.
When Tom told him about his uncle, Daniel told him to be careful at the hospital. As it wasn't allowed for doctors to cure their own relatives. But Tom never listened. And his help for his uncle turned into tragedy for him. And almost for his best friend, who was suffering a possible loss of a friend in any moment.
Tom opened his eyes. He looked around without saying a word.
"Tom? Can you hear me?" Daniel stood beside him and asked. "Tom? Say something man!"
Tom just stared at him, with no reply. Danile quickly pulled the little flash light out of his pocket and checked Tom's eyes. The was no reaction to the light. Tom closed his eyes again.
"Dammit! Come on Tom, help me with this. I can't do anything else here. The medicine is doing it's job, and the rest is your job my friend." he sat back in his chair.
Daniel noticed that Tom's mobile was ringing. He muted the sound so it wouldn't disturb his friend. He pickde it up, saw the number, and recognised it.
"It's that woman again. Well, you won't be able to talk to him Mary." he put the phone back in his pocket.
It's not that he hated Mary. No. He liked her. But she often became annoying. Especialy once in a month, when Tom went to see her at night. He never liked the idea, of checking on her in the middle of the night once in a month. And he never knew why.
Tom didn't tell him that Mary was a half-wolf. Who would believe such a thing? There are no half-wolves in our world. There is nothing such half-wolf! That's what Tom thought about all the time. But after knowing the whole story of Mary's family, he changed his mind. And helped her get rid of her tail. And he didn't even tell Daniel about that.
Daniel slept on the chair beside Tom's bed. He put his head on the bed, and closed his eyes. Hoping that his friend will wake up in the morning.
"Here you go. I hope you like it." Wolf said as he placed the tray in front of Virginia. She examined the dish, took a bite, and said:
"This is great! I didn't know that you can make an omlette."
"Bacon omlette my dear." he said as he sat beside her. "Our cub and you need bacon... for.. for your health."
