Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run
Chapter 157 Worse
Margaret Murphy usually referred to as the Red Bitch by hospital staff frowned at the computer screen. She was looking at the computer activity under Tara's password.
She should have known that idiot Dr. Namid was wrong. It was going to take more than allowing Tara to assist him in surgery to stop whatever she was trying to do. Judging by the data on the computer screen, Margaret knew the situation with Tara had gotten much worse.
She hadn't been very concerned when Tara appeared to suspect that Dr. Namid's surgical skill was more image than substance. He was being overly paranoid because he knew he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's. He panicked and insisted Tara not assist him anymore.
Her instincts had been to make no changes because it would arouse Tara's suspicions, but he was so worried she was afraid he was going to fall apart if Tara continued to assist him. She'd been right. After a conversation with Tara, Dr. Namid was afraid if he didn't let her assist him, she would be even more suspicious. Once again, she'd acted against her better judgement and scheduled Tara to assist him. He would retire in less than three months and that part of the Tara problem would be over.
The bigger problem was what Tara had been doing this afternoon looking at patient charts. Margaret knew Tara was smart. It wouldn't have taken her long to discover the hospital was billing for services it didn't perform.
She was going to do what she should have done in the first place. She was going to make a call that would take care of Dr. Knowles in the best possible way.
Author's Note: The next chapter will begin the relationship conversation between Jax and Tara. It will cover a couple of chapters as POVs shift. I've said this before, but not everyone reads the notes, so I'm mentioning it again. This story is supposed to be like a TV show with short scenes that cover other characters.
It will reveal why they really broke up and the reason isn't that Tara wanted or needed to go away for school. I think that's what most SOA fans think, but if they had loved each other as much as they claimed, they would have found a way to make her going to school work.
My chapters have been shorter than usual this last month or so because I've been sick and while writing isn't physically grueling, it does take energy and effort. In a couple of weeks, I will be well enough to return to writing longer short chapters.
