At bed time last night I couldn’t sleep. I would drift off but would find myself waking up thinking about Dr. Freeman or having a nightmare about what happened to me. Around 1:30 am I woke for about the 3th time. I got up and went to the bathroom. I was sitting on the toilet with my hands on my face. I kept remembering Dr. Freeman’s face in the picture and agonizing over what they might be doing to him. I got up and was washing my hands when I looked in the mirror. Then all of a sudden I had this strange feeling I knew where he was. I jumped without thinking. I was in a room with jail bars on one side and block walls in the other three. Like a dungeon. There was a large chalk board on the back wall. A desk with a small frail man in a chair, a bed and a coat rack with a suit and helmet. I was in the right place. The man was sleeping in the chair but woke due to my entrance. I walked up to him. Looked at the notebooks on the desk. He was shaking and saying don’t hurt me. I put my hand up to my mouth and said, shush. I am not going to hurt you. I gathered the notebooks, stood him up, had him hold the notebooks. There was a good dozen. I said, Are there anymore? He shook his head, no. I took the pillow case off a pillow on the bed and wiped the black board clean. I grabbed the helmet off the coat rack and said to him, are there anymore suits? The man shook his head and said, no. I put the helmet on his head. I grabbed the suit by the neck with my right hand. I stood in front of him but a little to his side because of my stomach. With my left hand, I put it around his back and pulled him as close as I could to me with notebooks between us almost on top of my stomach. I jumped back to the bathroom. I let go of him and he was still shaking and saying don’t hurt me. He was looking in shock at the bathroom. I again put my finger up to my mouth and whispered shush. I opened the bathroom door just enough to see everyone sleeping soundly. I said to him, I am going to put you in the hall where there is a man in a chair and he is going to take you some place safe. I took his left hand from clinching the notebooks and lead him to the door out of the bathroom. He looked at the 2 women asleep in bed. Out of the bathroom I opened the bedroom hall door. I gently pushed him out the door into the hall and whispered go to the man in the chair. I shut the door quietly. He saw Scott sitting in a chair and started shuffling toward him. Scott who watched him come out the door. Stood up as he screamed, What the Hell? Scott took the man carefully and had him sit in his chair. Scott recognized him from his picture even though he was in bad shape. Scott took the helmet off his head and put it on the floor. I open the bedroom door just enough to throw the suit out. I had forgot it on the bathroom floor. Then shut and locked the door. Standing there with my back against the door I heard Scott walking toward the suit on the floor. All of a sudden Scott screamed, Mother, fucking, son of a bitch. Fuck. God damn it, Fuck!!! Serena and her mom sat up it bed awaked by Scott screaming. Scott screamed, Angel you are not fucking going to get away with this shit. We had a fucking agreement. I headed back to bed. Mom was sitting up in bed and was looking very unhappy. Mom said, what did you do? I said, Scott told me not to do something and I did it anyway. I didn’t mean to do it and it made him mad. Scott picked up the suit out side the door. He was so mad he was going to explode. He screamed at the top of this lungs, Angel, I am going to fucking kill you! Every one was awake now. I shrugged my shoulders and said, I didn’t mean to do it. It just happened. Mom gave me this mad look because she thought I was lying. Shaking her head she laid down and went back to sleep. I got back in bed and was now able to sleep. In the hall Scott had called Carlson and told him he needed to get over here he had a situation. He also called the doctor and said, he needed her. Paul had come out of his room to see what was going on. Scott looked at the man and could tell he had been tortured and had not had a meal for a long while. Scott said to Paul, could you get this man some food. Milk, sandwich, a Monster milk, anything good and quick. Paul was off to the kitchen. A male nurse came in the door and said to Scott, The doctor sent me. The male nurse got down on one knee and started looking at the frail man and said, don’t worry I am just going to take your blood pressure. The nurse took one arm slowly and wrapped the cuff around it to take his blood pressure. He then talked the man into putting his books on the floor and taking his shirt off. The man had bruises and cuts all over. He was skin and bones. The male nurse was being very kind and said, who did this to you? The man crying said, these evil people. The nurse said, I don’t want you to worry we will never let someone hurt you again. Paul showed with a Monster milk and a sandwich. He handed them to the nurse. The nurse opened the Monster Milk and put it in the man’s hands which were shaking. The man started downing the milk. The nurse said, slow down you need to take it slow. Carlson showed and Scott told him this man showed up and needs our help. Carlson looked at the man and said, is that? Scott said, I think so. The nurse stood up and said to Carlson, we need to get him over to the hospital. The nurse told the man we are going to take you to the hospital. The nurse opened the sandwich handing half it to the man. The nurse said to Scott, can we use Angel’s wheel chair which was in the hall. Scott said, sure. He got the wheel chair. With the nurse on one side and Scott on the other they helped the man into the chair. Scott handed Carlson the notebooks, helmet and suit. The man didn’t want to let go of Scott so Scott ask Paul if he could take care of everything while they went to the hospital. Paul said, no problem. So the man, Scott, the nurse and Carlson all went to the hospital. They went through the clinic to the hospital. The nurse helped the man into bed. He told the man he was going to hang up a bag because he was dehydrate. The man pulled on Scott’s shirt. Scott told him it was a good thing and that the nurse was going to take really good care of him. The nurse took blood and then put in a line. The nurse told Scott he is going to need some x-rays. The nurse called Xray and they said 30 minutes. The man had eaten the sandwich and Carlson asked him if he was still hungry. The man shook his head yes. Carlson said, I will go see if I can find something. He return a few minutes later with a pudding cup and a Pepsi. The man’s eyes lit up and smiled a little. Carlson open the Pepsi and the man drank it. The man looked very happy with that. Xray showed and Carlson said to the man I am going to take your things to a safe place while you are in Xray. The man looked at Scott. Scott said, Carlson will keep your things very safe. Don’t worry. Scott, the man and the Xray tech went down the hall. When they came back they put the man back in bed. The man kept trying to go to sleep but was stopping himself. Scott said to the man, you should get some sleep until they bring you breakfast. Would you like some scrambled eggs? The man shook his head yes. Scott said, in a little while I have to go get another person and bring them over to see the doctor, so don’t worry if you wake up and I am not here. I will be back soon. The man shut his eyes and fell asleep.
It was a few minutes to 6am when there was a knock at the door. Mom sat up in bed and her alarm went off. She pushed the alarm and stopped the alarm noise. She got out of bed and went to the door. She peeked through the peek hole and saw Scott. She opened the door and said, what is it Scott? Scott said, the doctor wants to see Angel. Mom said, it will take a few minutes for her to get dressed and she will be out. Scott said, I will be here. She shut the door and turned to me saying, get dressed. Scott is waiting outside to take you to the doctor. I said, ok. I grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom. I came out and Mom was sitting on the bed with Hunter in her lap. I said to Mom, I am going. Mom just shook her head yes. I went out the door and Scott was there with his hands in his pockets and I think he was clinching his teeth so he would not yell at me. He headed to the front door and I followed. When he got to the front door he stopped and opened it for me. I went out the door holding my hand under my stomach and headed to the clinic. Scott passed me without saying anything. I felt like I was going to the gallows. He got to the clinic door and opened the door for me and I went in to the front desk. Scott said to the nurse, The doctor wanted to see Angel. The nurse looked at her computer monitor and said, yes. The doctor wants a full work up. She led us down the hall to her little room. She weighed me, temperature, oxygen, pricked my finger and all the other stuff she does. Then after taking blood she handed me a cup and pointed to the bathroom. She said to me, you know the drill. When I came out of the bathroom she led us to an exam room and said, hop on the table the doctor will be in soon. When the doctor came in with a clip board. She looked at me and said, Scott said you jumped. I said, yes. I didn’t mean to it just happened. The doctor said, didn’t you promise me you would not do that? I said, yes. I wasn’t thinking when it happened. The doctor said, didn’t you promise Scott you would not do that? With my head hanging I said, yes. The doctor said. I need to look at the babies. Scott’s eyes widen. He heard babies. She asked Scott to move his chair so he could not see the monitor. She pulled my shirt up and my skirt down. She put jell on my stomach and went to work on running the tool around and looking at the babies. She took lots of readings and pictures. More than ever before. When she was done she said, Everything looks good right now. I am going to recheck them in a couple of days. She wiped off my stomach, pulled my skirt up and my shirt down. Picking up her clip board she said, We are taking really good care of Dr. Freeman. Then she asked, were there any camera’s where you snapped Dr. Freeman. I said, I don’t know. I didn’t check for cameras. She said, most likely they had one or more cameras to keep an eye on Dr. Freeman. So they have you on tape snatching Dr. Freeman. They also most likely know where you are. That means you not only put your pregnancy in danger, you put ever man, woman and child in our home here in danger when you did this selfish thing. I was thinking, why didn’t I think before I did it? What did Matthew say to you about jumping. I said, Matthew said, it would break his heart but if I ever did it he would take me to the forest and leave me. If I tried to come back he would eliminate me. The doctor said, ok then. We have a place in the hospital that we use to keep people safe. So I am going to put you in one of those rooms until we find out what is happening and if Matthew comes back he can deal with you. A tear went down my cheek. She turned to Scott and said, could you get a wheel chair and take her there? If anyone asked where she is, say Matthew came, got her and took her somewhere. We don’t know where they went or when they will be back. Scott shook his head and said, yes. The doctor took the clip board and left. Scott called Paul. When Paul answered Scott asked Paul to go to Mom’s room and do a no trace collection of Angel’s things and bring them to him in the hospital. Paul said, ok and Scott hung up. Scott left and returned with a wheel chair. I got in the chair and we went down one hall, up another, down another and to an elevator. We went in the elevator. The panel said, floor one and floor two. Scott opened a little box and punched in a code. The elevator went down instead of up and the doors opened. Scott pushed me out of the elevator and turned right to a door. He pushed a button at the door. Then the door was unlocked by someone inside and the door opened. Scott pushed the chair in to a desk with a guard. Scott said, here is Angel. The guard said, she goes into that room. Scott wheeled me into a hospital room with no windows except on the door, a bed, tv, cabinet, bathroom and chair. He went to the table at the end of the bed and said, if you need anything push this button and tell the guard. So make yourself comfortable and I need the chair. I got out of the chair and Scott left leaving with the chair. Scott said to the guard, how is Dr, Freeman? The guard said, doing well. Scott went in Dr. Freeman’s room. He said, How are you doing? The man shook his head yes. Scott said, I just brought the woman down who brought you here. We have a guard to keep you safe until we find the terrible people who hurt you. If you need anything tell the guard. The man shook his head yes. Scott said, we are going to take really good care of you and Angel is in the other room. Scott smiled at him. The man smiled little. Scott said, get lots of rest and eat a lot, you are too skinny. The man smiled bigger this time. I will be back later in the day to check on you. I have work to do. Dr. Freeman smiled again. Scott left and went up stairs to the front desk of the clinic. Paul was there with a trash bag of Angle’s clothes. Scott took them and said, thankyou. Scott took them down stairs and gave them to Angel’s guard.
At breakfast time Scott went out to the pool to have breakfast with everyone. Daniela and Jack were there. Daniela asked where Angel was? Scott said, Matthew came and picked her up. They went somewhere. Daniela said, when will they be back. Scott said, I don’t know. Matthew didn’t say where they were going. Serena looked at Scott and remembered him yelling last night that he was going to kill her. She also noticed he was not looking at Daniela when he answered her. Mom was looking at Scott thinking he is lying. Matthew would not come home without checking in with her.
Down stairs the guard opened my door, handed me a bag and shut the door. It had my things in it. I took out the bathroom things, putting them in the bathroom and then put some clothes in a cabinet. When I was finished emptying the bag I sat on the bed and turned the tv on. I was thinking, I have really fucked up my life this time. They brought me a really nice breakfast. They brought really nice meals all day. I ate too fast because I was very upset about what I had done. I either ate too fast or didn’t want to eat at all. When the guard came to get my dinner tray I asked him if he would ask Scott if I could have something to play music for the babies and also I needed more lounging PJs because the ones I am wearing were getting too small. If I am going to be on camera 24/7 I needed to dress appropriately. The guard said, he would call Scott right away. I settled in for a long stay. The rest of the day was quite. I couldn’t sleep because I was upset. What if Matthew came back tomorrow? What would he say to me? At night I cried myself to sleep but woke a couple of hours later from having a nightmare of Matthew taking me out to the forest after I gave birth and leaving me. This is going to be difficult. Am I going to be in this room until I give birth? I fucked up royal. I fell asleep again only to wake up from a nightmare of Matthew taking me out in the forest again. I was on my knees and he had a gun to my head. I was crying because he was going to shoot me in the head. After a few minutes Matthew said, I can’t do it. He went, got in the car and left. I got a Kleenex and blew my nose. I said to myself, I have to stop torturing myself. I am letting my mind do this to me. I turned on my side, hugging my pillow and went back to sleep.
