He's already here


"How did she end up in the B wing" the voice of a woman asked.
"I don't know ma'am, I found her at the nurses station, she was in shock ." A man's voice replied, Bianca identified the man's voice as bishop's, the guard 5hat had discovered her.
"Were you able to get her name?" The woman asked.
"No ma'am, but I think I found the room she was in, there were no personal effects inside, but there was a bag of urine and a catheter there was some blood on it."
" My name is Bianca Holt" Bianca stated clearly into the fog.
"I think she's coming too" the woman said then Bianca felt hands on her arm. I must have passed out, she thought, I have to wake up "my name is Bianca Holt." She stated again. "Miss, if you can hear me nod your head" the woman encouraged. Bianca began nodding her head and with every nod the white cloud lifted a bit revealing blackness beneath.
"Very good" coaxed the woman "open yours eyes, your safe, your in the hospital, Bishop Page the doctor and tell him jane doe from the b wing is coming too." Bianca heard bishop's footsteps as he left room. Open your eyes Bianca, she told herself open them! Her eyelids were so heavy it felt as if they were weighted down but slowly the blackness began to take shape and she could see the face of the woman who was speaking to her and hospital room around her. "My name is Bianca Holt" she said her voice weak and hoarse. The woman wrote her name on a small spiral pad she held in her hand.  The woman wasn't dressed as a nurse or doctor but in a ill fitted pantsuit.  She was an attractive woman despite the lack of any make up and her hair, seemed dirty and swept up into a sloppy ponytail. She appeared to be in her forties but Bianca thought she may have appeared younger if she were wearing make up. "Ok Bianca,"  the woman said, "now we are getting somewhere. Can you tell me how you got here, to the hospital?"
"Alice Leck" was all that Bianca could squeak out and it was the only thing on her mind, "find dr. Alice Leck, I think she has my baby" Bianca was able to state more clearly.
"Is that why you came here to the hospital Bianca, to have a baby?"
" Yes, I went into labor. I was supposed to have a c section and hysterectomy. I had a contraction in the parking lot and two men retrieved me and brought me inside."
" they brought you into the b wing?"
"Honestly it's a blurr."
"Bianca, what is the last thing you recall before the surgery?"
It suddenly occurred to Bianca that she had no idea who this woman was and that it certainly wasn't prudent to divulge any information to anyone that couldn't be trusted given the mysterious circumstances surrounding her situation.
The woman stared intensly at Bianca for a moment before she turned her head to acknoowlege the doctor and another woman Entering The room. "  "thank you officer, can you come with me for a moment so Dr. McAllister can assess the patient" the woman who came with the dr. Asked an officer, Bianca thought, that makes since she felt relief wash over her knowing it was some sort of officer that she had been talking to and not someone with questionable motives. "certainly " the officer replied, "I'll speak with you again soon Bianca" the officer said as she laid a card on the table next to the hospital bed. Bianca nodded.
"My name is Bianca Holt. My husband is Tyler Holt and someone needs to contact him." Bianca stated to the doctor. "We will get to working on that right away, but first let's have a look at you." The doctor replied matter of factly. "My baby is missing, you need to find Dr. Alice Leck and find out where my baby is." Bianca snapped impatiently.  It was time to get things done.  The doctor, a man Bianca guessed was in his mission fifties with pure white hair and wore thick tortoise she'll glasses almost identical to her father's smiled at Bianca and touched her shoulder. "I'm Dr. McAllister, I'm going to need to examine you and then we will address every concern you have, one at a time until we have sorted this all out.  While you were unconscious you were given several units of blood.  You incision was cleaned and re dressed, you aren't exhibiting any indications of infection and the work on your c section appears to be sound and professional. An ultrasound shows that your uterus is where is should be, in relation to its size and position for someone 2 days postpartum .
"Two days!" Bianca exclaimed, shocked that she had no idea how long she had been in the hospital. "My God, and no one has heard from my husband and no one has located my child I still have a uterus?!" Dr McAllister looked puzzled, no doubt because Bianca seemed upset to have a uterus. But smiled calmly and spoke softly, "I know you are concerned and you have every right to be. But I need you to keep calm, your blood pressure is a concern right now and I don't want to have to give you something to calm you as I'm sure you would prefer being as sharp as possible while we sort this all out." The suited woman reentered the room without the officer and approached her bedside.  The doctor looked at her and quickly instructed her to locate Dr. Leck and Tyler Holt .
"We have reached out to Dr. Leck, we are waiting to hear back and Mr. Holt is here and eager to see his wife." Bianca felt her hands grow cold and her cheeks grow warm, Tyler is here, thank God, she wanted him to hold her so badly. She felt the prick of tears welling up in her eyes. The suited woman cut her gaze to Bianca, "hello Bianca, my name is Sandra, I'm the hospital administrator." Without missing a beat Sandra returned her attention back to the Dr. "Shall I tell Mr. Holt he can see her as soon as he's finished with officer charles?"
"Yes, have him shown in immediately." Dr . McAllister instructed commandingly "when he is here no one is to disturb their visit, they have much to discuss." The dr patted Bianca's shoulder and Bianca beamed at him with appreciation.
