Chapter 63 - Where Is She?
It seemed to be an eternity before one of the red lights dimmed. Micheal, Casey and Oliver stood just outside the door waiting quietly. Suddenly the door opened and Dean\'s body was wheeled out by a team of nurses heading towards a private room.
"Doc?" Oliver approached the Doctor that followed behind Dean\'s bed.
"Mr Davis will make a full recovery, don\'t worry. He will be awake up in a few hours. He hasn\'t lost a lot of blood and he has no internal injuries. Your friend is a lucky man. Now excuse me I\'ll go see the young girl that came in with him." The Doctor excused himself and walked towards the door next to Dean"s.
All three men heaved a sigh of relief that Dean was okay now they just to wait on news from April.
Hours later in a large private room, Dean lay unconscious on the hospital bed. Oliver stood beside his bed quietly waiting for his boss to wake up. Casey entered the room and stood beside Oliver, he was just next door with Micheal his lover and April.
Beep... Beep... Beep...
The harsh beeping noise woke Dean, the bright light streamed into his eyes from the above fluorescent light and blinded his sight. He could smell the disinfectant and feel the cold firm sheets below him. He grunted as he sat up, his body was stiff, he looked at the two men who looked back at him with pity. A realisation hit him and he looked around the room.... where was his angel?
"Where is she?" Fear and anxiety filled his heart again. He remembered not wanting to part with her after he had anxiously held her during the long car journey to the hospital then carrying her limp body into the hospital.
Dean\'s low voice was lethal and his glare was intense. Dean had a bandage wrapped around the wound on his head and one on around his arm, he now wore a crisp white shirt.
His best friend Casey was fearful and so he pushed Oliver\'s body forward. Oliver coughed and stood in front of his venomous boss. He was quiet for a moment before he gathered the courage to face his boss.
They all had felt guilty for not being there, regretful for leaving them and angry at the whole situation.
"April is in the room next to yours. She is not long out of surgery. Boss, you were very lucky this time, you have to put your safety first.." Oliver had always wanted Dean to put his safety first and have some protection but Dean had always refused.
"I don\'t give a sh*t about myself." Dean spat out at his friend and Secretary.
At that moment the Doctor walked into the private room, he had treated many powerful people over the years and so he wasn\'t afraid of Dean\'s behaviour but today it made him take a step back. Clearing his throat he interrupted Dean and Oliver\'s conversation, he wanted to give his report and leave quickly.
"Mr Davis you seem to have an angel that wanted to save you this evening. I hope you cherish her. You are free to leave whenever you feel you are ready." Dean was cleared by the Doctor\'s.
She was his angel sent to protect him. Anger then surged his body. How badly was she hurt? He began to get up but Oliver put his arm on his to stop him. He sat back down and leaned back against the pillows.
"Report." Dean wanted to go to April but he knew his friend would only stop him if he had a valid reason.
Oliver stepped forward again and the Doctor left the private room quickly. This information was classified and he didn\'t need to hear the details nor did he want to.
"Boss we have thoroughly investigated the matter and it was your uncle\'s men. We collected the bodies of six of his men and managed to apprehend one alive, he is in a warehouse now awaiting your orders. One did escape through, so your uncle will know his plan went awry. Your uncle was very thorough this time and had followed you this evening." Oliver finished speaking and stepped back to await Deans orders.
Dean nodded his head, this was going to get very bloody and messy. His uncle\'s greed killed him in his last life and he couldn\'t let that happen again, especially since he had April.
His uncle was older and not in great health and he had hidden away making allies to take over the Davis empire but Deans grandfather knew he was lazy and although he wanted the money and influence he had no business acumen to lead a company.
"He has bought off a few of our investors and directors, he will try it again... If he asks one of you two to betray me.." Dean asked knowing the answer already.
"Boss that would never happen." Oliver voiced out quickly.
"I would never betray you, Dean." Casey saw through his friend and answered calmly.
Both men were extremely loyal to him and now April. They would never betray his trust they would rather hurt themselves than their boss and friend. That was why Dean needed them now, he smiled, "Do it."
"Do what?" Casey asked he was confused but Oliver had already understood his boss\'s thoughts.
"If my uncle approaches you do whatever he says. He will probably try to lure me to him rather than come out into the light himself. This is the only way to end this game." Dean said as he moved again and groaned as he tried to get out of bed.
"What if he uses April... it\'s the best way to get back at you. It could be a good way to bait him out." Oliver suggested before his rational brain could think and he regretted voicing out what would be a good strategy but too risky a sacrifice.
"NO," Dean shouted furious with the mere thought, he stood up and walked out of the private room to find his April.
