Raising Hell MC: His Darkest Desire

Chapter 3: The Caretaker

“Shhh,” I whisper to my crying patient. “It’s okay… It’s okay… You’re safe,” I say to her as I rub her back.

I look up and watch in shock as the man from the room over drags her rapist out of her room. I swallow hard as I watch his muscle flex under his shirt and he punches the bastard straight in the face.

Damn… He has a strong right hook…

“Let’s see how many people you kill while you’re out cold,” his deep voice rumbles. Instant panty drop if I ever did hear one. I swallow hard and shake my head.

Get your head out of the gutter, Sam…

I sigh as I look down at the sixteen year old girl in my arms and rock her gently. She was crying, shaking, and doing her best to hide herself from the world. I rub her back gently as I continue to hold her. I watch as Mark takes the limp body of her attacker and drags him to the floor. He places him in handcuffs and nods to me through the door with a firm look. I know that look… I’ve seen it one too many times to know how this s**t is going to go.

I pull the girl to her feet and help her back to the stretcher. She is calming down some but she is still shaking. Before I can do anything, the guy from next door comes back into the room.

“Sorry about that,” he says as he looks at the young girl. “Are you alright, sweet heart?”

She sniffles and nods her head. “Yes, sir,” she whispers softly. Before either of us could do anything else, she gasps.

“Mom? Dad?” She jumps off the stretcher and runs to them with open arms. “Mom! Dad!”

Her father catches her and pulls both her and her mother in for a super tight hug. I sigh softly and smile. At least they came here…

I turn to the man who is not even supposed to be in here and pat him on the shoulder. “Come on. Let’s give them some privacy for now.”

He nods his head and we walk out of trauma bay two together. I smile up at the guy and nod my head to him. “Thank you… You didn’t have to do that, but thank you.”

He smirks and nods his head. “It was no trouble. I hate seeing children scared and I hate seeing grown men put their hands on women… Speaking of which, are you alright?”

I smirk and nod my head slowly as I look over at him.

“I’m alright. I’m a lot tougher than I look,” I tease. “Come on, I need to get back to your friend now that the excitement is over.”

He smirks and nods his head slowly. “Actually, I need to be going… Uhm, if for some reason you all need more information on him, just give me a call,” he says as he pulls a business card out of his pocket. He places it in my hand and nods his head slowly. “Do everything you can for him, please.”

I nod my head firmly. “Of course. He’s young and has a long life he needs to live,” I say as I watch the man walk away… I shake my head and move back into his room. I hang the vasopressors for him and furrow my brow as his labs come back.

I sigh and shake my head. His blood work is horrible and the images from the CT, MRI, and xray all indicate significant internal bleeding. Great… Just, great…

I move out of his room after hanging the vasopressors and head straight for the dictation station next to the nurse’s station. I knock on the door and look at Dr. Thomas. “Hey… Lab work and image results are back on bay one… Have you seen them?”

Dr. Thomas sighs and nods his head firmly. “Yeah, I’ve already called the trauma surgeon in and his team. Get him ready for surgery.”

I sigh and nod my head. I frown as I look down at the business card and shake my head. The man just left and I am already going to have to call him to ask if we can do surgery on his friend. Great… I moved to the nurse’s station and sigh as I sit down next to Nikki. “Hey, I got a favor to ask.”

She smirks. “Need a witness to sign the consents with you?”

I smirk. “Yup, how did you know?”

She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. “Come on. Call the family so we can get this over with.”

I nod my head and pull up the chart. I find the emergency contact information and pull up the new number. I sigh and dial it into the hospital phone and put the phone to my ear. “Hello?”

His smooth voice is intoxicating. God, why can he do this?

“Hey, uhm, Mr. Blackwood? This is Sam. I am so sorry to bother you, but I have to get some consents signed for Josh. We are going to have to do emergency surgery on him and we need the okay to take him back to the operating room and do these surgeries and what not.”

He chuckles softly. “Of course. You have my permission to do whatever needs to be done to save his life.”

I sigh. “Thank you… Do you mind telling my friend here the same thing too? She has to be told in order to sign the consents with me.”

“Not at all. Hand her the phone, Sam.” His smooth voice sends a shiver down my spine and I shake my head as I hold the phone out to Nikki.

She takes the phone from me and smiles. “This is Nikki. Who am I speaking to?”

As soon as he speaks, I see the look on her face as she turns towards me. Her eyes double in size and her mouth falls open.

“Yes sir, Mr. Blackwood… Uhm, do you consent to us performing these surgeries on him?” She mouths at me. He sounds hot!

I smirk and nod my head as I give her a look.

“Thank you Mr. Blackwood. Have a good night.” She hangs up the phone and instantly starts to fan herself. “Dear lord in heaven. If he looks half as hot as he sounds, I’ll be pregnant by the time he walks away.”

I snort with laughter and roll my eyes. “Get it together, Nikki. We still have three hours left in our shift.”

She smirks and rolls her eyes. “Yeah, and then we are going out tonight, right? Come on… You promised me we would go and it’s been a real shitshow tonight. We need a break from the world.”

I sigh heavily and roll my eyes. “Fine, but if Archy screams at me, I am telling him it is your fault.”

She smirks and rolls her eyes as she signs the consents with me. “Your cat can kiss my ass. You need a break from the world and you need a good lay. He has food, water, and an automatic litter box, right?”

I blush and nod my head. I took better care of my cat than I did myself half the time. “Yeah… He’s set for the night.”

She smirks. “Perfect! I know the best place to go after a night like tonight. The guys are all tough, rugged, and super sexy. We can drink, dance, and maybe get lucky if we try hard enough.”

She gives me a playful wink and I roll my eyes as I shove at her playfully.

Out of the two of us, she was the more adventurous and outgoing while I was the more focused and centered. I sigh and shake my head as I look at her with a soft smirk. “Fine… One drink, a couple hours of dancing, and then we take an Uber back to my place for the night. Deal?”

She giggles and rolls her eyes. “Deal…”
