Chapter 2
Riley walked over to the table and after checking the chart the nurse made up, she said, "Its okay Alma, I can handle Mr. Jindrak...He's just gonna need a few hundred stitches...Call down had have them set up a CT scan." Alma giggled and said, "Yes Doctor."
Riley pulled out a suture kit and said, "Okay Mr. Jindrak, sit up."Mark sat up on the end of the exam table and, Riley moved the gauze away from the gash. She said, "It's not too bad, but you're gonna need about 10 to 15 stitches."
While she started putting the stitches in place, Mark looked at her, he had never noticed before she had violet colored eyes...they were an amazing shade. Mark said, "I hope you don't hold what I did this afternoon against me...It was a dare." Riley couldn't help but laugh as she finished up his stitches and put a bandage over his forehead and taped it in place.
As she wheeled him down to x-ray for his CT scan...she'd found out that he worked for the WWE and Vince McMahon...She said, "So you're a professional wrestler eh." Mark looked up at her as they rode down in the elevator...He said, "Yea...I hope you don't think I go around letting people hit me with metal chairs."
Riley said, "Well, I'd have to question your sanity if you hit yourself or let someone else hit you...So what went wrong?"
Mark said, "I completely forgot to put my arm up and soften the blow...as a result I got cracked in the skull and was busted open. I scared the shit out of my mentor." Riley laughed as she lend against the elevator wall and said, "Well, It would scare the shit out of me too."
Riley was wheeling him into the CT, when she said, "You wouldn't by any chance know John Cena would you?" Mark smiled weakly and said, "Yea, he's one of my best friends on the Smackdown roster...Do you know John?"
Riley giggled and said, "Too well...I went to the same college as him, and I'd never meet him before, I was all of 17, and my friend asked me to go with her to her boyfriends phrat house party. We walked in and here came this guy walking down the stairs of the huge phrat house where's a big curly black wig and nothing but a black g-string on...he walked up and said 'my name is John Cena, nice to meet you, welcome to the party' and then proceeded to grab me and put the meanest lip lock on me."
Mark laughed hard and said, "Sounds like John." Riley laughed at the memory and said, "He wasn't that bad of a kisser either...He's been dating my best friend from college forever now." Mark said, "You mean Cynthia."
Riley laughed and said "Yea, we call her Cyn though because she always smiles like she's up to no good."
Mark said, "Yea, well some things never change because she still does." Riley said, "Lord, I haven't talked to her in a couple of years." Mark said, "Oh then you should probably know that John and Cynthia got engaged during Christmas."
After Mark's CT scan, Riley paged an orderly and said, "Well, Mr. Jindrak, welcome to the hospital, you've got a pretty bad concussion, and I am going to admit you for 2 days of observation, just because I don't like taking chances with my patients."
Mark nodded and said, "I figured as much." Riley made sure he was comfortable in the hospital bed and then said good night to him as she headed to the Drs lounge for a short nap.
