Chapter 137

"what are you waiting for? Walter heard Maxwell say, we need to leave now.

Walter didn't know why he was in such a big hurry, but he still needed to follow suit, he just needs to trust him, for him to come back as promised he should be able to trust him.

Prisca and Joy and other hospital staff bade Goodbye and watched as they left.

Maxwell was the one driving, they were happy that they didn't encounter any disturbances on the road, they didn't even find a corp on the road to ask them questions. when Maxwell finally pulled over at one uncompleted building, Walter sighed of  relief.

" Are we there yet? He asked, he was already getting tired of sitting close to his dead friend, not like he was scared of ghost, he sees lots of them everyday.

Working with forensic doctors and forensic

anthropologists who work with skeletons and decomposed human remains and  If a pathologist doesn't have enough tissue to autopsy, a forensic anthropologist will likely need to analyze the remains to get information about the victim and the cause of death. He grew bolder and stronger Most practitioners in the field have master's or doctoral degrees.

Although Forensic Archaeologist takes a broader view of the body and the site than other disciplines. As a forensic archaeologist, you'll use archaeological procedures to learn about the body and its surroundings. While a forensic anthropologist might look at marks on bones to determine what type of weapon a killer used, a forensic archaeologist will look at how the grave was dug to see if he can obtain additional information. Archaeologists are skilled at removing remains to preserve as much information as possible.             While many coroners are also forensic pathologists, they don't always have to be.     A coroner is a government official who has been elected or appointed to provide legal reports of causes of death in her area.    Some work with doctors who provide medical information so they can make the legal determination of death.                        For example, Arapahoe County elected a medical doctor who is also a board-certified forensic pathologist as its coroner, although this isn't required by Colorado law.                  In Indiana, a coroner is elected, doesn't need to be a doctor, and needs to take a 40-hour training course and an annual 16-hour continuing education course.                   Indiana coroners can't do autopsies if they aren't board-certified pathologists, so they have to work with doctors.                 According to PBS, more than 1,500 counties have a coroner system, and their rules vary widely, so systems like those in Indiana are not  rare.

After laying him down In a bed, Walter guessed must have also been pre arranged by Maxwell, he sat down beside him and placed his both hands on the cheek, looking at him.

"This boy had suffered too much" He started, and checked his time, he had gone though a lot, after his mother left his father before she later died with her lover, his father did everything in his power, you needed to see how he worked tooth and nail to send him to school, I promised his father I would take care of him, but I guess I failed, I have been too busy with my own self, I feel bad.

Doctor Walter didn't have much to say to him, he was more concerned about Joseph waking up, he wanted to see it for himself, though he has heard about people faking their own death, and others faking another's death, he had never really been involved in it, he had always seen it as fraud and no one have even as much as dare to suggest such to him.

"Shouldn't he be awake by now? He asked, interrupting his sober moment. He really didn't need anyone to cry now, he had felt really bad watching him die, him waking will be the only thing that would make him happy.

"He should be warming up to do so" He replied, but didn't sound so sure.

Doctor Walter didn't want to raise his voice yet, but he could see the uncertainty in his voice.

"You don't sound so sure about this anymore? He said searching his face for a trace of at least some assurance, just like he had days ago when he had approached h with the suggestion.

"Be patient" he said looking down.

"God please, let this work" he prayed silently, his prayer was a whisper, but Walter heard it.

"Did you not say that all we needed was 72 hours?

"Yes I did" he answered knowing what he is about to say next.

"Then why is he not even moving let alone waking up, it more than 79 hours now.

Now Maxwell was getting impatient, he hit the stool, where he placed the lamp they were using as the only illumination.

"I said patient! He exclaimed and the lamp fell to the ground" and every where became dark.

It was already a scary place, it was just the both of them, they needed each other, even if Joseph doesn't wake up and maybe finally dies, then, they should be able to work out if the place together, not fight.

Walter immediately regretted putting pressure on Maxwell, he could see he wanted Joseph to wake as much as he does.

"I am sorry I pressured you, it's just that I am no longer comfortable in this God  forsaken place you brought me" 

"This is the only place, that is safe for us to do this, we cannot do it in your area, we have people probably watching us.

"You mean the Andersons?

"Yes off course, who else?

"Well, I don't think so, they have other things to be worried about right now"

"Like what?

"Their daughter in-law"

"Which of them?

"The one that is married to the Anderson that Joseph lied to"

"Why what is happening? He asked, as he started the light again with the lighter in his hand, he also brought out a Ciga, and lite it.

"I wish you wouldn't do that, I don't want to inhale it, it is not good for my health.

"Just one smoke doctor? He said and started, Walter looked so angry at the way the smoke made the area's smell change and the flames could be seen going up and side ways at other times.

"So tell me about the daughter in-law and why that should distract them from watching us? Walter wasn't sure, if he should tell him anything, it was a secret, not many knows about it, he didn't want to be the one to spill the bins and as soon as one more person learns the truth, they were automatically in trouble, and it might even destroy the poor girl. So he decided to say something else instead, hoping he would stop asking.

"Don't you know smoking has lots of risk to your health?

Maxwell rolled his eyes and looked the other way to puff it again.                                              "you can roll your eyes all you want, but it is the truth Smoking leads to disease and disability and harms nearly every organ of the body.

More than 16 million Americans are living with a disease caused by smoking.              For every person who dies because of smoking, at least 30 people live with a serious smoking-related illness.

Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Smoking also increases risk for tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, and problems of the immune system, including rheumatoid arthritis.                                             "But you are not the one taking it, why are you troubling yourself for my sake? He defended himself. But Walter retorted.

You are making me a smoker too, what j am receiving from you now is Secondhand smoke exposure which statistically shows contributes to approximately 41,000 deaths among nonsmoking adults and 400 deaths in infants each year.                              Secondhand smoke causes stroke, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease in adults. Children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome, acute respiratory infections, middle ear disease, more severe asthma, respiratory symptoms, and slowed lung growth.

Maxwell, stepped on the remaining cigarette and the light went off, he looked at his new doctor friend and said.

"Happy now, see it is out" He raised his hands in the air to show him he was done with it.       Now can you tell me about this Anderson daughter in-law;

He was not giving up on the topic just like Walter had thought so he just told him, in the simplest way.

"She is pregnant, for Joseph"  that did not seat so well with  Maxwell, he turned to look at him, he didn't know that, though he suspected, that the Anderson, couldn't just want Joseph dead, because if the lie alone, even if it could anger them, but also because he slept with their son's wife and got her pregnant.

"Wow" was all he could say with his mouth still wide open.

"Why did you not tell me this earlier" 

"Is it important?

"Yes it is, we need to get that girl out of that house"

"You will do no such thing" Walter replied, Joseph raped her, not like she agreed to it, she was drunk, incase you are getting ideas of a family reunion"

"He what? He was shocked, he looked at the lifeless, Joseph, he looked paler, with no sign of waking up.

"If he doesn't wake up today, we need to help that girl, if anything ever happens and they ask her to leave the Anderson Mansion, you need to be ready to help her"

"I am not going to be there to do that, I am taking the transfer offer and I am leaving for Africa as soon as possible, I don't want a complicated life.

"Then I guess it is up to me then"

"I guess so" Walter replied, but he grabbed the part that he says 'if Joseph didn't wake up, was he giving up already?

"Are you saying, Joseph is not going to wake up?

"I said 'If' he doesn't wake up. Or don't you know what it means to use If?

 You use if in conditional sentences to introduce the circumstances in which an event or situation might happen, might be happening, or might have happened.

She gets very upset if I exclude her. 

You'll feel a lot better about yourself if you work on solutions to your upsetting situations. 

You can go if you want. 

If you went into town, you'd notice all the pubs have loud jukeboxes. 

What I did was right and if I had done anything less it would have been wrong. 

Fry remaining peppers, adding a little more dressing if necessary. 

Do you have a knack for coming up with ideas? If so, we would love to hear from you. 

Synonyms: when, whenever, every time, any time   

 Bla bla bla

"I know what it means, I am asking you, are you saying, Joseph is not likely to wake up?

Now it was Walter's turn to hit the stool and the lamp fell off again, the remaining glasses now shattered on the floor, he was so angry that he kept saying something else instead of answering him. Maxwell tried to be calm, he didn't want to get upset, he too was getting impatient, he tried to get the lighter, but he couldn't find it, it must have fallen down, because he had placed it also on the stool after he lit up his cigarette, he decided to make use of his phone light, but then he remembered he had switched it off to avoid anything like tracing or tracking and Doctor Walter's phone  was also off, he decided to bend down close to where the lamp has fallen to get the lighter. as he bent down, he heard a very  slow sound, like a baby's breath, he didn't want to get excited yet, he needed to find that lighter immediately, but then,  they heard a faint but firm voice.

"Am I dead?
