The resident- Bells accident

Hide and Seek

Kitt sat in the lounge. Leaned forward, her hand rubbing at her neck. She could have died. That biker, when he had grabbed her she. She couldn't breath. She knows it had only been a few seconds but it felt, so long. Until he arrived. Literally just running in no questions asked, to come and save her. No. She moved her hand from her neck up to cover her eyes. No I'm not going back there. She didn't want to see it again. She had already replayed what had happened that day, a million times in her head. If she had jumped away quicker then Randolph wouldn't have had to come save her. What an idiot he had been. Thinking he could take on a 400 pound biker easy peasy. "Knock knock." Kitt was yanked out of her thoughts at the sudden sound of a voice. Grayson. "Hey Doctor V have you seen Doctor B? Oh that rhymes." Kitt moved her head to look at the now occupied doorway. Grayson standing in the middle of it. She looked at him for a moment, he looked so happy. Then Kitt realized what he had asked. Oh, oh he doesn't know. Her heart broke a little at that. Seeing his face, and such a simple question. It was like the calm before the storm. She knew Randolph meant something to him. She personally believed that the boy acted incompetent sometimes es s to get Bell off his scent. She put a smile on her face and stood slowly. Grayson furrowed his brows at her. I mean it's really a yes or no question he thought. Kitt moved to stand in front of Grayson and reached her arm forward. Placing her hand on Graysons shoulder. "How about we sit down shall we?" Kitt asked kindly. "Grayson kept on a smile along with his furrowed brows. Still unsure of what was going on. But still curious about his bosses whereabouts he went along with it. "Sure." They sat down on the bench. "Grayson, Randolph was involved in an incident. He..a man came into the ER after he had taken a large dose of narcotics. He was unconscious when he arrived but he woke up soon after and immediately attacked the staff, including myself." Graysons face shifted, worry spreading over. "Oh you're alright though?" He asked. Kitt gave him a small but genuine smile, "Yeah I'm fine." It was so nice of him to ask, she broke again, she still had to tell such a sweet boy such a terrible thing. Okay, just get on with it Kitt, she told herself. "But, I wouldn't have been if it weren't for Randolph." Graysons face fell, his brows furrowing as his mouth fell into a frown. "What do you mean if it weren't for Doctor B? Is he okay-did something happen?" Kitt could see the panic etching into Graysons body. She quickly leaned forward and placed a hand on Graysons shoulder, attempting to physically and emotionally anchor the panicking boy. "Grayson he has a few bumps and bruises but he should make a full recovery." Grayson smiled, "Oh good, that's good." The young assistant let out a sigh of relief. Visibly relaxing. Kitt pursed her lips together. She knew what she had to say next. And she wasn't going to like it. "Grayson," she started off hesitantly. I don't want to break him. "Randolph. When he was knocked around as he was it appears something happened to his head." Grayson tensed again as his face fell. "He had to go into surgery in order to repair some damaged tissue around his ribs. But after he woke up." Kitt took a deep breath, tears starting to form in her eyes. "After he woke up it was quite clear that from the injuries he'd suffered he managed to get some form of amnesia. And he doesn't remember any of us, or himself for that matter." Grayson didn't speak. He stared straight forward. Looking right through Kitt. He continued for a while. Kitt grimaced, she wanted to let the boy process the information, but she also needed to know if he was alright. She put her hand on his shoulder and gave a small squeeze. "Grayson?" He flinched. His eyes shifting to her eyes. Finally focusing on Kitts face. She smiled. "Are you alright?" Grayson stared for another moment. Then asked,"Can I see him?" Kitt smile and sequenze his shoulder once more. "Are you sure? He doesn't remember us I dont want you-" "Its fine." Grayson said confidently. "I want to see him."

"Conrad." Conrad turned at the sound of Nics voice, a smile forming on his face. "Well hello-", he cut himself short as he noted that Nic was accompanied by two of Chastains finest 'I can't do my job and stop a deadly biker in the ER or then catch my 63 year old amnesia boss who had to stop the biker himself  when he escapes his room' security guards. "Uh okay what did I miss?" Conrad questioned as the group approached. Nic gave a lopsided smile, "Guess who escaped for a second time today." Conrad put down the pad he was holding and sighed in exacerbation. "You're kidding." Nic stopped in front of him as the guards continued past. "Nope. Devon and I found Mrs Parnasis in Bells room. Apparently after he weaseled his way out of his restraints he eluded further attention by hooking her up to the heart monitor that was supposed to be monitoring him so he wouldn't trigger any alarms." Conrad's eyes went wide at the thought. "Wow." Nic nodded as she grabbed the pad Conrad had dropped and typed in her code. "I mean. That takes some skill." Nic shot Conrad a glare over the screen. Conrad put up his hands defensively," Hey I mean come on you've got to admit on some level it's impressive." Conrad chuckled. Nic smirked, pushing her self off the counter as they began to walk. "More like annoying. He needs an MRI to get to the root of the problem and for that we would need him present and preferably awake and cooperative and-" "Okay okay." Conrad interrupted, stepping in front of Nic. "Just calm down." Nic stared at him again. Conrad smiles, "Yes all those things would be preferable but there's no need to worry at the moment, I am sure we will find Bell and bring him back to his room. Security has probably already blocked off the exists-" "they have" "-great. So no need to stress."  Nic nodded. "Okay uh Conrad, can you please help with the whole." Nic waved her hand in the air nonshalontly. "Finding amnesia Bell-dini the great escapist yes yes I can. I'll check the bottom floors-" "-Devon's got 1 and 2-" "-So I'll get 3 and 4. So you can get 5 and 6." Conrad added. Nic clicked her tongue, "Actually I can't I have to go do a check upon Jessie who according to Mina is currently on the roof." Conrad nodded, leaning in to lightly kiss Nic on the cheek. "Tell Jessie I said hi." Conrad threw over his shoulder as he walked down the hall. "You go it." Nic replied as she herself moved down the hall in the opposite direction. Before she could get far, she noted a person walking towards. Jessie. "Oh I was just looking for you Jes I'm sorry about taking so long I was caught up with a work thing that I will tell you about later because its quiet the crazy story-" Nic was interrupted as Jessie clapped her hands together and said, "Let me guess. Your boss the CEO of the hospital has amnesia and he escaped his room for the second time and you have no idea where he is." Nics eyebrows furrowed at her sister's statement. Surprised by the accuracy. "How did you know, did Mina tell you?" Jessie brought her clasped hands to her chest and gave a weak smile. Nic frowned as she knew that action all too well. "Your hiding something." She stated almost instantly. Jessie's smile turned more and more into a panicked grin as the words left Nics mouth. A small silence settled for a moment and Nic thought about what could possibly cause such a... No. "Mina didn't tell you." She realised.. Jessie breathed in sharply and unceremoniously sputtered "I kind of ran into your boss on the roof." Nics mouth fell open. Jessie kept her panicked grin as she asked quietly, "Are you ok? You look like your having a stroke- are you having a stroke?" Nic didn't respond, she just stared at her sister for a moment. But then shook her head and took a deep breath. "Okay. Okay," she had with a small grin. "That's actually great I mean so you told security and they have him now?" Jessie's panicked grin returned and Nic smile faded as she slowly realized what her sister had done. "Oh my god. Please tell me you told security." Nic already knew the answer to the question but she just couldn't believe. The small nod from Jessie although expected, was enough to send Nic into fourth gear. "ARE YOU CRAZY THE MAN HAS AMNESIA  AND YOU WHAT! LEFT HIM ON THE ROOF!"Jessie moved her hands out and waved them down, attempting to calm her very clearly angered sister. "Nic-Nic it's not what you think okay." Jessie thought that would be enough for the moment but she noted that her sister was starting to recoil herself into another loud statement so she quickly added, "He trusts me!" Jessie flinched after the words as she didn't know if she had said them in time. But she was lucky as Nics face fell and her brows furrowed. "What?" Jessie liked her lips and continued, "You've taught me a lot about your job over the years, including how to handle difficult or sometimes fragile patients." Nic continued to look at her sister, listening carefully to her words. Jessie swallowed, "Well as you said before he has amnesia, which makes him pretty fragile. So when he started to open up to me, I knew I had to tread lightly ." Nic crossed her arms and nodded, "Okay that's good," Nic commented lightly. Waiting anxiously for what would come next. Jessie continued, "So he told me all that he remembered and all that had happened, and at the beginning he had asked me not to tell anyone. Since I knew trust would be very important," Nic nodded, "I agreed to his terms and let him talk. But at the end I convinced him to make a deal."
