For The Love Of A Child
Chapter Two- Old Flames Rekindle
Rand Kindler walked into RWHC and up the stairs straight to Bob Jackson's office. He had a court order in his hand and also a police officer following him.
"Yes?" Bob asked as he looked at the paperwork her was attending and then to Rand like Rand didn't deserve the time of day form him.
"I have a court order. Judge Andrew Smith, of the state of PA, has reviewed my case form six years ago. Since there was a….how should I say this? (Rand paused for a brief moment.)…A lack of evidence, the Judge sees no reason why I can't have my old job back. In fact he's ordered you to give me my job back or be escorted to jail by this nice officer here."
"You can't have your job back Rand. I've told you this a million times over the last six years every time you've came and asked me about it. Court order or no court order. I can't risk you doing to someone else what you did to Lu. Not on my paycheck." Bob said in Lu's defiance.
"Sir I'm going to have to take you to jail then. You know he's going to get the job anyway. Why don't you just give it to him and make for a peaceful evening?"
"If he gets the job it sure as hell isn't going to be me saying he can have it. I can't hurt Lu like that. I just can't do it. She went through living hell when he raped her I can't give him full access to her so he can do it again."
"Have it your way then."
"Fine take me to jail. Really please do. I have just cause." Rand said as he held his wrists out to be cuffed.
"It's a loosening battle Bob! Why don't you just give me the job and save your time and money?" Rand gloated knowing that Bob would never give into his requests.
"Take me away." Bob said as he drew to the attention of the officer that he was holding his arms out to be cuffed.
"You have the right to remain silent…anything you say and or do can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one one may be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights?"
"Yes I do."
"You better be sure that this 'Lu' is worth fighting for."
"Oh believe me she is." Bob said. The officer placed the hand cuffs on his wrists and escorted him down the elevator and into his police car.
"I knew he'd see it my way." Rand thought to himself as he smiled a creepy smile of his from ear to ear.
The Next Night
Rand Kindler went straight down to the free-clinic once his shift for the night was over. He walked into Lu's office where he found Lu and Dana in the middle of a conversation that ceased immediately because of Lu's reaction when she saw him.
Lu's face suddenly turned as white as a sheet, her teeth began to chatter, and she began shaking all over as if it was freezing in her office.
Dana didn't like to say that she hated Rand, but preferred to say that she strongly disliked Rand for what he did to Lu. Dana noticed Lu's sudden change of attitude, but although she couldn't see Rand due to the fact that she was facing Lu, she could tell that something was terribly the matter by the true look of terror in Lu's eyes.
She then turned around and came face to face with the man that had caused her best friend so much pain so long ago. …….RAND KINDLER!
"UH!" Dana exclaimed as she inhaled too much air and nearly chocked at the sight of him
" Why so tense Luisa?" Rand asked as Dana got up and stood behind Lu.
"You…You….You…." Was all Lu could manage go get out. Hearing Rand talk so casually to her as if nothing had happened just made her sick.
Her heart was beating ten times the normal speed and her mouth was as dry as a sheet of sand paper. The memories of that night so long ago came rushing back to her drowning her like a dam that had broken.
"What are you doing here Rand? Get out of here!" Dana yelled.
"I came here to inform you, the both of you, that I am now an employee of this hospital once again. I just wanted to give the tow of you my best." Rand said with a cheesy grin that clearly said that he was up to no good.
"Bull-Shit!" Dana exclaimed. Her face turned red with anger.
"Don't 'bull-shit' me little miss know it all!" Rand addressed Dana with a smug attitude.
"You wanted to scare the shit out of Lu. You know that's the truth now admit it you scum bucket." Dana yelled.
Dana realized for the first time that the reason Lu wasn't talking is because she had fainted and gone completely limp in Dana's arms.
"She needs medical attention you had better leave before I call security."
Rand left and Dana scooted Lu's too light body into her arms and carried her to the couch where she laid her flat on her back.
Dana checked her friend for the signs of many medical conditions including heart-attack. Finally she concluded that Lu had just fainted.
"Lana get me a gerne !" Dana yelled sticking her head out the door.
Dana wheeled Lu out of her office and to the ER where she put her in an exam room and tried to get her to come to. She hooked her up to a heart monitor (just to make sure) and swayed smelling salt under her nose.
"Wh- What happened?" Lu asked as she slowly opened her eyes.
"You fainted sweetie." Dana spoke to Lu in a gentle voice.
"That…That…"Lu started before Dana shushed her.
"Do you remember anything?" She asked Lu.
"That….That scum ball's back." Lu sobbed as hot burning tears fell down her beautiful perfect face.
"He's not going to hurt you! I won't let him hurt you." Dana said in that same sweet tone.
"I've made a new life for myself." Lu said softly
"He's not going to hurt you again Lu. You've got friends here at this hospital. Look at what he's got. What has he got?" Dana asked Lu
"NOTHING!" She answered her own question.
"Where the hell is Bob?" Dana asked the cute blonde girl about 25 years old who was sitting at Bobs desk popping pink bubble gum.
"He's out for today. Didn't you hear? He's in jail.!" She said in a preppy voice.
"What jail is he in?"
"South Philly P.D."
"Thanks." Dana said as she ran out of the room and drove to the P.D.
Dana got out at the police department and walked in the doors. A rush of cold air greeted her but she was too pissed off to notice.
"I would like to speak to Bob Jackson." Dana told the receptionist.
"Fine. Sit here and I'll bring him out."
Dana sat and looked at some cheep magazine about a girl who was getting married to some pop star. Twenty minutes later Bob came out.
"How could you have hired HIM to come back to work at RWHC?" Dana scolded her boss.
"I'm sorry Dana. I was given the choice did I want to sit in jail or have Rand work for me. Obviously you can have guessed my choice."
"Then why is he working with us again?"
"He had a court order that said either I give him the job willingly and stay at work or I deny him the job and I go to jail and he gets the job anyway."
"How much is your bail set for?"
"1,000. Why?"
"We need you at the clinic . You can pay me back when you get it."
"Thank you Dana.!."
"Come on lets go. I have to get back. You know to make sure she's Ok."
Dana swiped her credit card and then signed the papers saying that she was bailing Bob out. Then she and Bob took off in her car back to the ER.
Dana walked out of the parking lot and back to the ER exam room where she was surprised to see Lu sitting on the bed in fetal position crying.
Dana walked over to where Lu was sitting and gently wrapped her arms around her best friend.
"What's the matter hunny?" Dana asked
"I just want to go home Dana."
"OK but your in no condition to drive. Get your things and I'll drive you home." Dana said firmly.
"OK Thanks." Lu smiled gratefully as she slowly stood up and walked to her office to gather her things. She slipped on her coat, put her flip phone in her scrubs butt pocket and then met Dana at Lana's desk.
Lu and Dana walked together out to Dana's car but they would never make it to Dana's car that day.
Rand Kindler and a buddy of his came up behind Lu and Dana without them even suspecting a thing. Rand grabbed Lu and shoved something in her mouth to muffle her screams and his buddy did the same to Dana. The men easily overpowered the women and chocked them gagged them and threw them in the back of their van.
"Dr. Delgado and Dr.Stow to the ER please. Dr. Delgado and Dr. Stow to ER!" The voice called over the loud speaker for the fourth time in a row.
"Has anyone seen Dana or Lu? Tonight's Wednesday night clinic and their both missing." Kayla asked as she rubbed her red, itchy, tired eyes.
"No Baby Lana hasn't seen either of them in about five hours. Is their cars still here?" Lana suggested Kayla check around.
"Yes both of their cars are here."
"Maybe you should call Jonas and see if Lu's with him."
"I think that's a good idea. It's quiet right now anyhow."
Ring….Ring……Ring…..Ring…..Ring….Ring….
"Hello?" Jonas asked in a very sleepy tone of voice.
"Hey Jonas this is Kayla form the clinic is Lu with you?" Kayla asked in a casual tone, not wanting to upset Jonas.
"Nope. Why would she be with me? Tonight's Wednesday she's suppose to be at the clinic with you and the rest of the crew . She's not there?"
"She's not here and I don't know if it's any condolence but Dr. Stow's missing too."
"Do you think that something could have happened to them?"
"I don't know.. Some guy named Rand Kindler came back today. Lu seemed pretty shocked and pretty shook up. He didn't seem hostel to her though. Do you think that could have something to do with this?"
"I'll be there shortly."
"Ok thanks."
Jonas threw on his clothes and got into his car. Five minutes later he was speeding towards the hospital.
Dana came to about 20 minutes after Rand and his friend threw her and Lu into a dark cold basement. Dana opened her eyes and was surprised to find that her eyes were no longer blindfolded and the ropes that bound her arms and legs together was removed.
She stood up and stretched her arms and legs to make sure that they were still working properly and when she discovered that they in fact were she began to look around the dirty basement for her best friend Lu.
Dana found Lu laying in a heap not ten feet away form herself. Lu's face was pale, and her vital signs were weak.
"Lu honey I need you to wake up now." Dana said as she gently shook Lu
Lu stirred but did not wake immediately. But after ten minutes of intense praying Lu opened her eyes and slowly sat up.
"Lu honey are you ok?"
"Where are we?"
"I suppose were in a cellar somewhere. Rand Kindler and one of his friends chocked gagged us and brought us here." Just as Dana said that the ladies heard heavy men's footsteps in the hallway.
"Come on! Come on!" Dana urged Lu as they snuck quietly and slowly into the darkest coldest corner. They huddled together and held on tight to each other. Both ladies were very frightened. But of course Dana didn't show her fears. She knew she had to be strong for Lu's sake.
One footstep, two footsteps, three footsteps, four, each footstep was getting closer and closer to the locked doors that kept Dana and Lu bounded in this whole time.
"Where's my beautiful Luisa at?" Rand asked as he walked down the stairs and looked around the dark cellar for Lu and Dana.
When he found Lu she was huddled up so close to Dana that Dana was smashed into the corner. But even so her arms were still around Lu in a protective best friend way.
"Well Well. Aren't you going to get up and come with me Luisa?" Rand asked but Lu just scooted further and further into the corner. Her fear showed.
"She's not going with you!" Dana said firmly as she held tight to Lu.
"Yes she is!" Rand yelled as he grabbed Lu and roughly pulled her out of Dana's grip.
"No! I'm not going with you!" Lu yelled as she kicked, scratched and screamed trying to get away form Rand.
Dana got up and joined in at kicking Rand to let go of Lu but he held strong and carried her up the stairs and through the door, locking it behind him so that Dana couldn't get out.
"Dana! Dana!" Lu cried as Rand carried her off to the bedroom.
Once Rand and Lu got to the bedroom he threw Lu down forcefully onto the bed. After removing his clothes, including his boxers, he began to undress her.
"Get off of me you bastard!" Lu yelled as she now was fully undressed and Rand was on top of her. Just like he was that great many years ago.
"Ha! You thought you were slick did you? Well you better realize little miss bitch that I'm a lot bigger and stronger than you are! And mark my word if you try and run….I'll hurt you even worse." Rand gave a sick disgusting smile and began to kiss her all over as he stuck his package into her Vagina and gave a satisfied moan.
