Lisa, hope you're fully recovered. Do you feel dizzy or perhaps tired??" Lucas asked.
"I'm perfectly fine sir. As a matter of fact, I feel very much rejuvenated." Lisa replied smiling. " Sir, I'll like to express my gratitude for yesterday. I have no idea what could have happened to me had you not come along. Thank you very much sir."
Lucas was startled. But taking a few seconds to think about it, " ofcourse she doesn't know. How would she know?" He thought. "Lisa, I think you may have misunderstood the happenings of yesterday." I wasn't the one who found you. Even though I would have done something different altogether to save you had I been the one who happened upon you unconscious in a stranger's arms, I must say that the one deserving of your gratitude is my brother."
Lisa was charmed. How could anyone be so... perfect. He was eloquent, and humble. Whoever won this guy's heart would win a lottery, and an Apollo like angel in one package. Lisa was beginning to envy that lucky lady. It was only then that Lisa actually was able to process the entirety of what Lucas had just said.
"Your brother is in residence?" She asked. "And I being the housekeeper is only now coming to know this? My God I've been much too lax in my duty. I apologize sir" she said in one breath.
Lucas laughed." Lisa, how are you so cheerful after such an incident? You do realize that you were unconscious for about half a day after being drugged right. Lisa if you don't get it, I'm going to have to spell it out for you. You could be in danger, of the mortal kind."
"I do know that sir."she said. Lisa's countenance changed suddenly to one of serene contemplation. "I've been thinking about it from the time I woke up. I'll handle it sir."she said.
"Lisa, just before you came in I had been thinking of asking you whether or not you wished to continue working here, despite the threat it poses to you, but now I'm not sure whether to just fire you or force you to hand in your resignation. This could be very dangerous Lisa." He said trying to make her see reason, but Lisa had made up her mind prior to coming here."
"Sir, I need a favor." Lisa said.
"Should I be scared?" Lucas asked. "I can't tell what is going through your mind right now, so I'm going to have to hear it first before I decide."
Lisa smiled. "Sir, no matter how carefully crafted a plan is, there must be some loopholes. Sir, I'll like you to authorize a check of the security footage. So we can find the guy who was carrying me through the corridor. Oh, and yes get Sir. Micheal to help us identify him."
"Oh..." Lucas laughed. "That's it?" He said. "I can do that. I had been dreading what you had to say. I thought you were going to say something like , "can you get me a gun and a bullet proof suit"?" He said laughing
"That's actually not such a bad idea." Lisa said. "I could use the extra protection."
"Out of the question."Lucas replied. "Now on to more important matters. You're going to have to go to the hospital for a blood test. We have to find out what drug was used to sedate you. I can't let you go on your own, and lucky enough for us Micheal is leaving for the company in about forty-five minutes. Make sure to be ready to leave by then."
Lisa excused herself and went to prepare for her visit to the hospital. Lisa didn't like hospitals. Her experiences at such establishments never ever had a happy ending. She only wished this time would be an exception. She just wouldn't be surprised if she was told that the drug would cause her terminal cancer or some such illness.
Lucas had come to Micheal to ask him to take Lisa along with him on his way to the company. Micheal just said "Sure. Why not?." He was a little hesitant however. While he had held Lisa in his arms the night before, he had not thought much of it. But thinking back on it now, he saw how very intimate that had been. He had carried her "bridal style".
Lisa came out to the parking lot, where she was to meet Micheal for the first time. Well the first time in full cognitive capacity. "Good morning Sir", she said to his back.
Micheal turned around to greet "the" Lisa. "Good morning." He said.
Lisa couldn't help but compare him with Lucas. If Lucas was Apollo,then this guy looked like a very handsome Eros. "How did people beget such beautiful children?" She thought.
Lucas had a very beautiful baritone, but this guy, his voice sounded like a caress. Everything about him screamed "sexual".
"Shall we?" He said , pointing her towards the passenger seat of the very handsome looking mercedes. They both got into the car and in a few seconds were off to the hospital.
"Sir, I'll like to thank you for your help yesterday. I don't know what would have happened to me had you not come along." Lisa said.
"I just did what any decent human being would do." He replied " Besides, I don't think the guy actually claimed to kidnap you. He was taking you further into the house. Which is not something a kidnapper would do. I think you should file a report with the cops. I'm willing to help with a description of the guy."
"Sir, I don't think filing a report will help.much. I believe that the mastermind lives in the Ward mansion. I wonder if you've heard about the amulet incident?" She asked.
"As a matter of fact, I have. Mrs. Lee told me about it." he said.
" It's very farfetched to think that someone from outside the house could have planted it amongst my things. I have a feeling that I may have made an enemy of someone in your household without intending to do so. And I wouldn't want to alert him or her to the fact that I'm unto them."
Micheal thought about it and he just had to agree with what Lisa had said.
The drive to the hospital wasn't very long. Micheal decided to accompany Lisa while she did the tests to make sure she would be alright.
"Dr. Chris", he said when he saw their family physician. "Micheal it's been too long." They shook hands. "Lisa, meet Dr. Chris. Chris ... Lisa" he introduced them.
"Nice to meet you doctor." Lisa said. Dr. Chris was a very handsome guy probably in his mid thirties. At the very prime of manhood. "He doesn't look much like a doctor, he looks like a movie star." Lisa thought
"The pleasure is mine. To what to I owe this very unexpected visit?" Chris asked.
"She was sedated without her knowledge and consent. We'll like to get a blood test done. Inorder to be certain there'll be no side effects to the drug she was given"." Micheal replied.
" I'll take a blood sample and you can get your test results in about twenty minutes." He said. " This way please."
