Security for what
323 Words
“I’m looking for Avery Spencer’s room, I’m her next of kin.” I’m breathless and freaking out. Looking desperately at the nurse by the desk.
“Room 002, just down the hall to the right,” She points me in the direction.
“Thank you” I say as I turn on my foot and stride full pace towards her room.
“Excuse me, miss, you can’t enter this room right now. You will need to speak to Dr. Matthews.”
What the f**k, “Why the security, what’s going on?” Why is he just looking at me. “I work here, I’m her house mate, I need too.......”
“Sarah” I turn to see a woman looking up at me. She’s short, 5foot if that, black eyes, freckles, and pin-up girl red hair”
“I’m Dr. Matthews, can we talk? then I’ll leave you to sit with Avery”
“Um, yes! Yes! is she ok?”
“Follow me, and we’ll talk” Dr. Matthews leads me to her office. I look back at the security guard, what’s the go with that?
“Take a seat” Walking behind her desk, she points to the seat across from her. “the director will be with us shortly”
“The director? What’s happening?” Maybe I should call Linda
“He just wants to be here, we’ve learned that Avery was hired here today. Being a staff member, she falls under the VIP status”
“Do you mind if I make a call, I should probably call her mother” should I really do that?
“her mother, she’s not her next of kin?”
“they're not close”
“sure thing, did you need scything, tea? Coffee?”
“a water would be good” Dr. Matthews stands to walk out but looks back at me, “I’ll just be a moment”
