"Mrs. Grey... Mrs. Grey" a shrill voice came from room number 2. After a minute or two, there was a hustling between the door knob and the person behind the door . That hustling kicked Rodney's drowsiness away. He woke up and in a second opened the door.
Rodney's eyes met with the sunshine of morning, April. He beamed brightly at her. She smiled back. "Rodney, why my door was locked? Everyone's door stay open at night. Why mine was locked Rudan? Why you locked it?" She asked in a voice of complaining.
"Actually yesterday you again... " Her face fell. Tears welled up in her eyes. "For how long Rudan? For how long should I stay like this! I can't even remember anything. Doctors say I'll be okay but when Rudan, when? You know Rodney I want to stay like you. You can go wherever you want. You can feel the life.. And look at me!" She sobbed. "Yesterday, yesterday, Maria even got released. I saw her parents came to take her. She.. She was just here for 3 days and she got released and I've been here for 1 week stilll I'm here and I feel the same excruciating pain everyday. There's a pain in my head Rodney... I can't remember anything. I don't even know who are my parents..." She cried hugging Rodney. Rodney hugged her back. He felt miserable about her. She couldn't even remember that she was there for 1 year not for a week or two!
"Sshh.. Everything will be okay April. Everything will be okay. You'll be okay soon." He soothed her. She continued crying but his words eased her a bit. He was the only one who'd think about her there. Rodney knew it better than anybody else that she wasn't going to be fine. They treated her awfully! She was admitted in free of cost because she couldn't go anywhere else and according to Pyshek's law they had to admit a homeless person without any money. So the asylum just did the formality but there wasn't any where it was written that they had to cure her disease... Government did little care about the asylums.. Rodney shook his head. What the hell was he thinking! His black T-shirt already got wet by her tears. He cupped her cheek softly and wiped the tears away with his thumb.
"You must be hungry, right " He asked her trying her divert her attention.
"I'm starving and that's why I was calling Mrs. Grey" She said wiping the remaining tears away.
"Mrs. Grey isn't at office. I will go and come back with your food okay" He asked pulling her in his embrace. He was the only person who would talk to her, would care about her, would treat her like a friend or more than friend ...
James was playing with his best friend when suddenly his phone rang. "Fuck" he cursed under his breath. He saw the screen but couldn't recognize the number. However he received the call.
"He-"
"Good morning your excellency! Just a friendly reminder, you were to come here at 7:30 am and it's past 9 am!"
James shivered recognizing the hoarse voice. The caller cut the call before he could respond and it wasn't like he could respond anyway!
James made it in a record time from east wing of the King's Palace where his quarter was to the west wing, at His Majesty's office. Which takes nearly 30 minutes to approach at his office, he reached there in 10 minutes! Though in his way to his office he received many odd looks from the female workers and laugh from the male workers, he didn't get why they were behaving like that with him. He kept running until he approached to his majesty's office. "Good morning huh" He bowed catching his breath.
Christian looked at him. His eyes popped out of its sockets after seeing his assistant. He couldn't decide whether he should scold him or he should laugh! "Go to washroom man!" He harshly said.
"Why washroom sir?" James asked twitching his eyebrows.
"Go to washroom and complete the process!"
"Process which process?"
"Fuck off" Christian rolled up his eyes. James looked down and there he saw his... You know his member's miserable condition. Embarrassment filled in his face. "I - I am sorry sir.. I will just go.." He said while literally running from his majesty's office. "Huh" Christian said getting back to work.
After 15 minutes, James appeared in his office. His eyes glued to the ground completely aware of the inconvenience he just created.
"Who comes to work while masturbating!!" His Majesty yelled. James jumped off at his sudden scream. He will give me heart attack one day - James's mind said to James. Thanks to the soundproofing walls of the Palace otherwise... He just couldn't think of it.
After five minutes of lecture, Christian finally sat down to his chair. "However, you will visit the cell today instead of me when Matthew will interrogate the suspect of Mr. Ricardo's murder. And as you can't give details, you'll capture the video of the interrogation. When the whole interrogation will be over, you will come back only then and report everything to me with the video. You understand? " His Majesty asked more like a threat like you better understand.
James nodded, "Yes sir".
"Go now" His Majesty dismissed him. He quickly bowed before leaving. He took a deep breath after leaving his office he didn't know he was holding!
