TRIXIE CHAPTER 25

"I don't know Megan, I don't know. This Logan is very crafty and he has caught us unaware twice. Don said he knew the commotion was a distraction, Megan he called out to me but I didn't hear him calling."

"Oh gosh… David, Trixie?"

David told Megan about him in the room when Trixie woke up and that she was now in her own room changing and washing up. Clara was with her and would bring her back to Don's room. David also told Megan that he met Trixie's bodyguard.

"Megan, it seems Trixie's father has hired a bodyguard for her. Now this is odd that he's not around when he knows that his daughter is in danger."

"David, go and get Trixie and tell her bodyguard to bring her here to the canteen. I am going to call Steve for a favor again. Meanwhile can you stay in Don's room and call Colby to clue him in on the situation." Megan said.

Megan sat on the bench, both elbows on her knees and hands on her forehead.

Oh gosh, when will this end? She had to let them know that Logon had attacked Don. But why attack Don? She had no idea at the moment, she just couldn't think now. Her profiling mind was not working. She had to take into consideration that Trixie was the target and not Don.
Better be on the alert, after all, it started off as a kidnapping case.

No she reasoned it out, it could be that he was looking for Trixie but he couldn't find her in the room and then saw Don in the room. Maybe that's why he went after Don, that could be the scenario, she concluded.

It was good that Trixie had her own bodyguard. It solved part the problem for them.

She went back inside and Alan looked at her and knew something was not right.

"Megan?"

"Alan, Charlie…. guys… eh…"

"Megan, what's the matter?" Amita asked her putting her hand on Megan's arm.

"Guys, David said there was a diversion outside Don's room, he went out and he saw a cleaner's cart had fallen on a nurse's leg…"

"How can a cart for no reason fall on a nurse's leg?" Charlie started asking.

"Charlie, let Megan continue and I think this is not good." Alan said looking at Megan.

"During the commotion, someone slipped into Don's room. Whether or not he was after Don or he was upset that he couldn't find Trixie, I'm not sure, but he attacked Don."

"Oh no, no, not again? How's Don? Is he alright?" Alan cried out, standing up and about to go to Don's room.

"I'm going to see him, Charlie? Amita? Coming?" Alan wanted to charge out of the cafeteria.

"Alan, please, Dr. Stewart is looking after Don… They have taken Don to be treated, David is waiting for them to come back ." Megan said.

"Why can't go to Don's room now and wait?"

"I need to get hold of Trixie first."

"Where was Trixie when Don was attacked?"

"She went back to her room to wash up and change. I have told David to send her here to us."

"Then…"

"Alan!" Trixie came running to them.

Alan scooped her up as a man came near them.

Megan showed him her FBI identification and he showed her his ID and they both shook hands.

They went to the side and Megan asked him some questions and after a few minutes, Megan told Alan, Charlie and Amita.

"Guys, This is Chandler, he's Trixie's personal bodyguard.

Alan looked at Charlie, "Bodyguard for Trixie?"

"Yes, Alan, he just got here today.
Chandler said that Mr. Cameron called his company for a bodyguard for Trixie 24/7.
There will be another one who will rotate with him.
Chandler, what's your partner's name?"

"I'm not sure who my boss will send; it could be a female bodyguard. He or she will take over from me at 10pm."

"Ok now, let's go back to Don's room to wait."

When they reached Don's room, Megan was glad that everything looked unchanged from before the attack.
She assumed that it had been cleaned up.

From what David had told her, it had been messy with broken IV bags, blood on the bed and messy bed.

They sat on the sofa and Trixie was surprised that Don was not in the room.

"Where's Don?'

"Eh… Trixie, you sit with Alan, Don will be back soon, The doctor is checking him over." David said.

Nurse Yenn came into the room, "My goodness is there a party here?" she queried bluntly. Alan stood up, put Trixie on the sofa with Amita, and went to her.

"Sorry, but we were visiting Don. We were having breakfast in the cafeteria when David told Megan what had happened.
Actually what did happen?"

"We were called in after the whole thing was over. Can I speak with you somewhere? Maybe Charlie might want to listen."

"No, his team needs to know too. Excuse me for a minute." Alan went to Amita and said, "Dear, can you please take Trixie out in the garden for a while, stay close to her, the bodyguard will be around. Charlie will talk to you later."

"OK, Alan." Amita nodded. "Come on Trixie, let's go out for a bit ."

Amita walked out hand in hand with Trixie, Megan followed them to the door to make sure that Chandler was following them.

Yenn looked at all of them and then she looked at Alan and said,
"Actually Dr. Stewart wanted to see Don's family but since Alan insisted that his team has to know, please wait here and I'll get Dr. Stewart for you."

Yenn went out.
She came back shortly with Dr. Stewart.

"Doctor, how is Don?" Alan asked as soon as he saw the doctor.

"Don is in no danger but his list of injuries is long, he suffered a mild concussion from the blow to his head which was also lacerated.. It was a two inch cut which bled profusely, luckily no stitches required.
He will have a mother of a headache when he wakes up but we will take care of that.
He also suffered some tears in the stitches on his shoulder and a half a catheter embedded in his IV hand.

I've put him on heavy sedatives and painkillers. He will still have his antibiotic through the IV. I want him to be quiet and resting as he is now. He will be out for at least 12 hours. I would like it if the room would remain empty except for the patient and one visitor, but knowing you Eppes, I'll reconsider.
You all may be here but only if absolutely quiet.

Don's body has been traumatized not once, but three times. It is not good,
I can tell you, not good at all.
Hopefully the FBI can catch this person quickly.

Another piece of good news for the FBI, Ms. Reeves, is that I am giving authority for Logan to be transferred to the Jail Hospital. There's tight security there I know. I've been there… as a physician, of course." He stopped and laughed at his own joke.
"Err, the transportation will take place as we speak, I understand you know a certain Lt. G. Walker? Yes? He's the one in charge of the transfer.

Alright, Don will be down soon. Just be quiet, for the patient really needs some downtime. Good afternoon to all of you."

Alan shook his hands with both his hands, "Thank you so much Dr. Stewart, the Eppes family and friends thank you for our Donny."

"You're most welcome. Charlie? How's your hand?"

'Its Ok, doc. Saw Dr. Chandra this morning."

"Ah… our famous phrase quoting Dr. Chandra." Dr. Stewart smiled and went off. Then he turned back, "I'll be back in the evening to check on Don. "

"Remember, absolute quiet for Don's sake.
