Doctor and The Mobster

Chapter 4

Rochelle

As I woke I realized I was alone. It figures I have burning hot s*x and the guy leaves my bed before the morning. I got up out of bed and went to the bathroom to take care of business. When I returned I noticed a note on my bedside table. I picked it up and saw Alec left me his number and I smiled. I then went to my closet and chose my outfit for work today. There was a staff meeting at ten. I needed to look good since I'm looking to be promoted head trauma surgeon. I showered and had breakfast which was just a granola bar. I would stop at the coffee shop down the street before driving to work.

I walked into the hospital and immediately Sharon the head nurse and my friend looked up at me. She watched me from head to toe. When she met my eyes she smiled wide.

"My girl got some" she said which caused everyone to look in our direction.

"Thanks Sharon I wanted the world to know that" I whispered back and knew I was blushing like a teenage girl.

"Me and you at lunch" she said before turning back to a patient. I went to the locker room to put away my clean scrubs. Then I headed to the staff room. When I entered the conference room I saw that almost everyone was there. The meeting began a few minutes later. The meeting was almost finished when Marcus came marching in.

I saw his father who was just finishing his assessment report glare at his son. Well it seems his father doesn't approve of his son's way. Marcus chose to take a seat beside me; he also decided to put his arms around my shoulders. I could smell perfume on him and I saw lipstick on his shirt.

"Remove your hand or lose it" I hissed at him under my breath.

"Jeez relax mama" he said but he removed his hand anyways. As soon as the meeting finished I went to work which was appropriate since there was a traffic accident which caused major damage. The hospital became busy real quick.

When I finally got a break it was way pass lunch time. All the trauma patients were taken care of and the emergency room was quiet. I met Sharon at a small cafe on the hospital compound. I ordered a coffee and a small sandwich. I could never eat fully after a hard shift in the emergency room. Sharon only ordered a coffee she could never eat at all.

“All right, spill” she whispered and took a sip of her coffee. I took a deep breath before telling her all that happened.

“Wow! That is a lot to happen in one night” Sharon said when I finished going over the previous night.

“Yes imagine my surprise. I honestly thought he was dead” I said thinking about when we last saw each other. We were seventeen, Alec had decided he had enough of his mother’s abuse and he was heading to New York. He wanted me to come with him and a part of me still wonders what would have happened to us if I had.

“So what are you going to do?” Sharon asked.

“I really don’t know. I have put that kind of life behind me when I cut contact with my father.” I said sighing again not wishing to revisit that past.

“Well I suggest you decide quickly. From what you’ve told me about him he doesn’t ask questions first” Sharon said always wise despite her years. She’s younger than me barely 27 and I think she has had more life experiences than me.

“Yeah I will do that” I paused as my pager beeped. “But later we have a heart attack coming in” I said walking to the bin to toss the rest of my coffee. We had another busy afternoon in the emergency room and I was all too happy to head home early.

Alec

I stood looking at my men Mark at my side and Paul at my feet. His face was swollen and purple and blue from the beating it took. Mark found him living it up in a hotel with blood money so to speak.

"We have some people in our group who have lost faith in me. I am feeling very forgiving. So give yourselves up because when I do find you I will lose all my forgiveness and mercy" I end my speech and turned to Mark.

"Find out everything he knows" I told him and watched him smile. Mark was a good man but he was real sadistic. I went to my office to deal with my other businesses. I couldn't completely focus because I was thinking about Rochelle. I was trying to find a way to get back in her bed.

I figured I'd just sneak in again tonight. I was thinking about the last time Rochelle spoke my name. I was young and angry at the world. I was also extremely cocky, thinking I knew how the world really worked. I had asked Rochelle to leave home with me but it was a good thing she didn’t. Not long after I reached New York I fell to the mercy of the gangs. I can only imagine what they would have done to a girl as beautiful as Rochelle was and still is.

“Boss” Mark called from my office door.

“Yeah?” I asked putting those thoughts behind me.

“Roger, Davis and Cam took off not five minutes after we started questioning Paul. They snuck out, I’ve sent Julio after them” he told me.

“Is this other gang really offering something better than I am?” I asked not exactly expecting and answer.

“From what Paul said, they aren’t as strict with the merchandise, so to speak”

“So he betrayed us for his addiction. I shouldn’t be surprised he has been getting worst”

“What should we do with the body?” he asked looking relaxed.

“Dump him in their area I want them to know it was us. Find Julio and make sure those bodies aren’t found” I said stressing what I wanted done.

“Something else you might find interesting. Paul spilled his guts, figuratively, and literally. There is a warehouse that just receive new shipments from Colombia”

“So Paul was useful in the end. Get a team together, clean it out and burn down the warehouse”

“Alright, boss”

“And Mark avoid casualties if possible” I watched him nod.

 I closed down my computer and walked to the door. “I’m calling it a night, see you at the club Friday” I told him and slipped out of the office before he could ask the question I knew he wanted to. When I went to his apartment last night I told him a friend had sewed me up. Mark wasn’t satisfied with my lack of details and I was not in the mood to share.
