Taming Ava & Fixing Jax - A Modern Fairytale
Chapter 28 Murder Attempt 2
"
It was one of the oldest ways to kill someone in the hospital, send someone in disguised as a nurse, put something through the IV and then kill them. That's the way the plan was supposed to go.
The dark headed woman in standard hospital green scrubs with a fake hospital ID badge walked into ICU. She flirted with the guard outside Jax's door before leaving. Thirty minutes later she returned for some more flirting and a cup of coffee laced with sleeping meds for the guard. Once more, she left the guard, returning in twenty minutes when she knew Jax's nurse was on her break.
The nights are usually quiet on an ICU. The patients have been drugged and medicated for the night. It's a slow and somewhat relaxing time. It was in short, the best time to send someone in to kill a patient.
The guard was slumped in his chair, eyes closed. The nurses were up around the other end of ICU near the patients. The rooms on either side of Jax were empty.
The fake nurse walked into Jax's room and pulled out a syringe.
"**********"

Jax had been awake for about twenty minutes. His pain medication had worn off and if he hadn't been as tough as nails biker, he would have asked for more pain medication. His eyes were still closed. He was hoping he could go back to sleep.
When the nurse walked into his room, he opened his eyes. This wasn't his nurse. His nurse was a large burly man named Vince.
"Just coming to give you some more medication."
The hairs on the back of his neck stood up. His gut told him this wasn't a nurse and that syringe she was holding was going to kill him.
"Get out!" he shouted.
She reached for his IV line. He grabbed his IV line and ripped it out of his arm. He had so much adrenalin flowing through this system; he didn't even feel the sharp pain as he pulled the IV line free. She changed her focus and began trying to inject him with the syringe's contents.
Jax wasn't at anywhere near full strength. They fought and he continued to shout. Finally the sounds of running feet could be heard. The nurse dropped the syringe and ran out the doors of the ICU chased by one of the orderlies.
Three nurses rushed into his room.
"What happened?" the first nurse into the room asked.
"A fake nurse tried to inject me with something. She dropped the syringe."
The nurse put on gloves, carefully picked up the syringe and put it in a plastic bag.
"Did she get any of it in you?" the nurse asked.
The other two nurses were gloved up and now working to stop the bleeding from Jax's arm and the bleeding from this chest. The fight had caused his stitches to open up and rupture.
"No. That's why I pulled my IV."
"OK. I'm going to page the doctor. You're bleeding a lot. You may need to go back into surgery to sew you back up."
"We need to call security. This may have been attempted murder."
All the noise woke the security guard sitting outside Jax's door. He wandered in.
"Anything happen I should know about?" he asked.
