MY HEART DESIRE -Episode 12

Dan rushed angrily to the man who held the pillow over her alleged mom, the huge man was taken by surprise before he could think of the next step, he was knocked down senseless. Dan rained blows on him with fury until he lost consciousness. In a moment, Dan almost called on the hospital’s security but after second thoughts he abandoned the thought. He stared at the man before him and at the red button on the wall for calling for emergency and shook his head slightly.

He needed to get information on who was after his mother’s life. He took out his cellphone and scrolled through his contacts not sure on who to call, he finally decided to call his sister Angela. Angela was the only daughter and child to Sarah and that’s why he referred to her as his sister. Angela worked as a nurse in this hospital but under a separate wing from where his mom was.

He just hoped she would pick her calls because she was the only one he could think of who could help him in this situation. He knew she could help him take the man out of there successfully. She picked on the third ring after he had almost thrown his phone against the wall out of frustration. After hearing the tone of urgency in the voice of the only person she considered family that is apart from her mom, she was there in a minute. Luckily, she was in the same building.

It was race against time as he quickly narrated to her the situation at hand. When Angela turned to look at the face of the man, there was a look of shock on her face which she quickly hid with a knowing evil smirk. She threw a glance at the woman on the bed, tried to connect the dots but she could feel the missing link. The unconscious man was her mother’s secret right hand man who she sent on her dirty errands. She then connected that her mother wanted this woman dead. But why? She asked herself. And why was Dan here?  Had he also started working for her mom? But no, he had attacked mom’s most trusted fellow. What was Dan’s relationship to the woman lying on the bed totally unaware of an attempt on her life? All this questions ran crazily on her mind. A click of the fingers brought her out of her reverie blood draining from her face. She moved to the woman on the bed, took a closer look on her but she could nor recognise her immediately.

Unknown to Dan, Angela had recognised the man. She also knew her mother was not a saint and there were alot of things Dan did not know about. She quickly calculated that whatever was involved here, must not get out so easily.

In the next five minutes they were heading out of the vast building, the man placed on a wheelchair casually like any other patient.  People were too occupied with their activities to pay any attention to them. Just a glance at them and people concluded that the nurse was escorting a patient out of the facility. Angela’s badge did them a lot of favour too.

Angela, unknown to Dan, who was in his own world calculating of the most appropriate ways to interrogate the man, did not see Angela take out a small pin that she pricked the man’s finger. She quickly disposed the pin in the nearest dustbin. The unsuspecting man widened his eyes as sheer pain passed through his veins, he the breathed his last. She reached for his pulse an evil grin on her face.

As they pulled out of the hospital, Dan reached for the man’s hand to pull him to his car but was shocked to find it cold. He called for Angela’s attention who was looking the whole time through her side eye. After a series of checks on his pulse and heartbeat she confirmed his death. Dan had never been so shocked and frustrated his entire life.

“I could not have knocked him that hard to his death” he thought aloud. “Oh God what have i done?” He cried trying not to believe that he had caused someone’s death. He looked from the man to Angela who had an empty look on her face.  With the death of this man how on earth could he ever know those behind the woman’s attempted murder. He was the only link and now he had become a dead link.

“Eeerrm big bro, it is okay,” Angela said trying as much as possible to sound as pitiful as she could. She loved Dan so much but it could not compare with the things that were at risk if she had not done what she did. He ran his fingers on his curled hair and let out hot air from his lips.

“Let me dump this body for you big bro, so that it is found by the police,” she quickly offered after she got no reply. “No, it okay siz, won’t you get late for work?” He looked at her quizically but she avoided his gaze. “No,”she shrugged. He shot her a suspicious glance but he trusted Angela for the job. Nurses and doctors had a way of making a person disappear totally and thus dumping a body was no exception.

Dan jumped on his car, before he brought it to life, he shot Angela a glance and saw she had already carried the lifeless body on her car. She was in an unusual hurry and he thought maybe she was nervous because she had a dead body in her car. Dan started having suspicions, why could she risk driving around with a dead body? He could not let her do this work alone and so he followed her car unknown to her from a far distance.
