Phone Calls

On the waiting room, one of the nurses look for the guardian of Ms. J, and she gave her the belongings upon receiving it, she tried to open her phone to get the contact information of her boss's relative in District J. But her phone is total wreck and she can not turn it on. So, she open it instead and grab the SIM card of her boss and switch it on her phone's SIM card to be able to access the contacts of her boss. She went on the contact list of her boss and there is only 2 contacts that are saved there. One, is her number. And the other one is named "Little D". WIthout waiting, she dial it right away to ask if how related this Little D to her boss. The phone just keep ringing and ringing, she keeps dialing it in hopes that somebody will answer it… She's getting impatient on keep redialing that number, then finally a voice of a man answered.

"Hello". The man said.

"Hello, I'm the secretary of Ms. J. Are you perhaps related to her?"

"Yes"...

"I called to let you know that Ms. J got into an Accident".

"WHAT???".

"Yes, I apologize for calling just now. If you perhaps can go to District A National Hospital…." then the call cut off. "Hello? Are you still there?" Kayleigh asked. While walking outside of the waiting room and into the hallway to check if anyone will step out of the operating room to ask for any updates to her boss. Since the call seems cut off she just put her phone back in her bag. Then she rushed walking in front of the Doctor that just walked out from where her boss is.

"Are you the guardian of the patient?"Doctor asked

"Yes Doc, how…. is my boss doing?"

"Well, I'm sorry to say that she got diagnosed with severe traumatic brain injury that might affect her memory, comprehension, speaking, mobility and her activities of daily living when or if she wake up".

"Oh my…." while Lei started to get teary while hearing what the doctor said.

"This happened because she fell sideways, when the impact of the accident happened, landing on her head and shoulder and it broke her clavicle… and we needed to do resuscitations on her just to save her otherwise she's dead. That is why we needed a guardian to follow the code of the hospital to proceed on the resuscitations".

"Doc, how long is the recovery of my boss?"

"It is up to the patient's will to live, for now the only thing we can do is wait until she wakes up and monitor her improvements".

Kayleigh, is speechless on what she just heard. And she just bow her head when the Doctor needed to attend to the other patients. Afterwards, the nurses transferring Ms. J from the operating room to ICU. There, still standing in the hallway Kayleigh saw her boss pass her, she is still unconscious, have IV in her hand and she is intubated. (Intubation is the process of inserting a tube, called an endotracheal tube (ET), through the mouth and then into the airway. This is done so that a patient can be placed on a ventilator to assist with breathing during anesthesia, sedation, or severe illness). While the nurses pushing the hospital bed to transfer Ms. J to her ICU room and one of the nurses advice Kayleigh that just visit her some other time, since she will be in ICU and the visiting hours at the moment are over.

A lot of things are going on inside Kayleigh's head. What will happen to her boss? She is afraid to think that she will just die just like that. Her boss that is so strong and so full of life that ahead of her is now unconscious and fighting to survive. What if she woke up but she won't be the same anymore? She just shook her head and she said to herself that no matter what happens, she will help her boss as much as she can. She won't live her side even though she will not be the same anymore.

Meanwhile, somewhere in District B. In an abandoned building a group of thugs are having fun playing cards. And one of them, seems like the big boss, got a phone call.

"Hello, Boss"

"What is the update on the thing that I ask you about?"

"All done boss. Even the prosecutor or detective won't notice that it is not just accident, but an intention to kill the rider" and he laugh evilly

"Is she dead then?"

"We didn't get a closer look, cause the people got into commotion and they call an ambulance so we don't have news yet if she's dead".

"I see. Well, I'll call you again if I need your help"

"Yes Boss, we will be just right here with the right amount of money" and he smirks.

On the big screen of the one of the tallest and biggest building held the news break regarding of the accident of Ms. J. While the company of Vertex Gear is in chaos, answering inquiries and asking if the news is real or not. Most of the shareholders, or people who have invested in the company, are wondering if the price of their share will drop now the CEO is in ICU. They are afraid that they will lose profit because of the sad news. It's gone viral even in the internet and other social media, the news leak all over the place.

"It is done Boss, we spread the news and already pay the people in CEILO Network to make it a big news, and even ask our reporters to make it viral online". A guy talking over the phone said.

"Excellent! I am sure that this will create chaos in the company, it will be amusing to watch it". The voice of a woman on the other line said.

"Yes, Boss I am glad to be of your use." Then the woman hung up. She is in the office, somewhere… She is sitting comfortably with her feet on the top of the table, she wears a branded office attire, and an evil look on her face that's like a devil waiting to devour someone….

A phone call rings so loud that wake up Kayleigh, who is sleeping on her bed, which is only her back is resting on the bed while her knees are on the edge of the bed and her toes on the floor with her shoulder bag next to her, wearing the same clothes since yesterday. She is so tired after all that happened yesterday that she didn't even make it to at least take a shower and just fell asleep because of tiredness. She reached out her hand, and grabbed her phone in her bag while still laying in the bed and answered it.

"Hello"

"Finally! You answered. Kayleigh, the Board of Director is looking for you, all the people here in the company found out what happened to Ms. J. And it is total chaos." One of her co-worker stated.

She suddenly got up and looked up at the wall clock in her room. And it is already 10:00 in the morning and she overslept.

"Linda, thank you for calling me. I just woke up and I'll just go get ready and head to work".

"Ok, I'll just update you on what's going on as soon as you got here".

"Thank you, Linda. I owe you one". After talking to Linda, Lei went to get a quick shower and she just had cereal for breakfast and she just grab some protein bars on the go and put it inside of her bag. Her car just parked under the 2nd floor apartment that she is renting. When she try to turn on her car, she just hears a clicking noise and won't start. When she try to check what could happen, she noticed the headlight button was turned on.

"Oh great!" With a sarcastic voice. She turned off the headlight button and removed her key in the car and decided to just take the bus since she needs to go to the company as soon as she can. She run, about 3 minutes to go to the bus stop in hope that she won't miss it. Just in time, the bus is about to take off, she taps the side of the bus repeatedly to let the driver know that she needs to get in. The driver opens the bus door and she taps the bus card on the screen to pay for her fare. It is pretty crowded so she needs to stand up in the middle of the bus.

Since she's in the hurry she didn't notice that some guy, wearing an all black attire, is tailing her since she got off from her car to the bus stop.
