Chapter 2

The hospital still smelled of iodine m hair seemed wet but it wasnt. Different variations of noise came from the machines around me only one question kept blaring on my mind like a matchless siren on a Victory parade "where are my kids" there was no nurses available I used the only amount of strength available in my body to get up the dizziness came back as I touched my head slightly I realised there was a bandage around my head the room looked like something that was prepared specially for kids with it's pink background and a wallpaper of roses at the bed side and a picture of a mother and her child smiling on a poster boldly written on it GET YOUR CHILD IMMUNIZED TODAY FOR A SAFER FUTURE I don't think many people will still do it as though reading my mind I saw another poster screaming at me it's free now there's a reason to get a child immunized.

"I see you're doing well" said a man in a blue coat which obviously meant he was a nurse I smiled in reply

"You've had some major injuries to your head, knee cap, and your lungs but you're still doing very well"

"What Happened to me?" I asked one of the questions going on in my head but the doctor oy seemed amused at my question

"We have been waiting do patiently to ask you that very question.... What happened to you" there was something in the voice that made me alarmed esn in my weak and useless state of confusion. "what do you mean?"

"Do you believe in ghost's? " He said and smiled a dangerously evil smile and left slowly the sentence seemed familiar for some reason my whole body seemed scared even my soul seemed to have gone into hiding slowly I felt sleepy again it was taking over me slowly but painfully I couldn't move yet I couldn't shout I was drugged but it was already too late who was that? And like that darkness resumed it's position

"Don't leave me! I'm innocent please believe me I need my children back

" Aah!

" What's wrong?.... Sam dream again? "

" Yes" I said it feels so real I need to meet this woman but the doctors refuse me Everytime I go saying she a mad woman and they're not sure of her capabilities

"Maybe you should stop doing for permission and go upfront in stealth mode"

" That ..... Might not be such a bad idea"

" Be careful though I have a bad feeling about this case I've been hearing some form of gossips around.... This has something to do with their past and trust me it's not something you want to get involved with it's for your own good.

"We almost lost her again"

"I don't know what's going on last time I checked her pulse was normal this woman needs to be brought back to life the jury needs her"

" What if she doesn't remember anything? "

" That's a very high possibility considering the injuries to her skull I'm surprised she didn't wake up with any disabilities but a brain migraine might still be possible later in the future"

" Let's not hope for that yet" the voices we're slowly fading with the click of the door it was entirely gone the click.... It reminded me of something similar that had happened not quite long ago the bandage had been reduced to a little stich just above the corner of my left eye blurry images kept appearing in my head but I couldn't make out their features

"You're finally awake.... We've been waiting for you"

"Good afternoon doctor"

" It's evening Linda" he said checking the IV drip on my hands

"Oh sorry..... Doc?"

"Yes?"

"How long have I been here?"

"two months"he said

" What happened to my kids?"I asked still looking at the face of the doctor with what led to my being confined in the bed I didn't want to start trusting people so easily

"We've been meaning to ask you"

"What do you mean?"

"You have a lot of streamed cases lined up against you Linda" the doctors words didn't hurt as much as the fact that nobody knew where my kids were I tried my luck one more time but was met by a deafening sound from outside my room

"What's going on?". "why is nobody listening to me?"

In a rush he left the took everything was happening so fast before I realised the cause of my fall my legs wee cuffed to the bed a lady in a nurse outfit walks into my room who did seem much like a nurse but who was I to judge

"Mrs Carmichael?" She said looking at me with pity in her eyes

"Who are you?!" I asked "are you here to mock me too?" Shock was evident on her face but I couldn't care less

"I'm Jordan your case lawyer .... I'm not allowed to be you but please keep this between us? "

For the first time there was a ray of hope in my life but I still couldn't trust her what if she was just another of Gordon's men?

"How can I trust you?"

"You can start by establishing trust"

"You have a bad sense of humor " I replied dryly my head was beginning to hurt again it's either these people were slowly killing me or the so called injury was turning to a brain migraine

"My child tells me that alot"

"What is it you want?"

"Your total co operation with me I believe in your truth"

" But I haven't told anybody what Happened that night I can't remember though but I see blurry images some times"

" Which means the clips we're a lie"

" What clips? "

" The night you were found in the house the FBI claimed to have seen a clip of you beating your husband after which you maimed your children because you didn't want anybody to find out" goosebumps went all over my body

"I dont have a husband anymore" she said looking at me with no form of emotion in her eyes she seems to have gotten over it a long time ago "he left right after my daughter Kayla was born he left for a stripper tell video clips are forged I'm being set up here. "
