"How is she, doc?" Jimmy wondered as he stepped back into the bedroom again, even more worried for his little sister now as the doctor had taken so long with the examination. From the looks of it she was still soundly asleep on the bed, just as he had left her, though the good doctor looked definitively more weary. "Will she be allright...?"
"Well, yeah..." Doctor Mooroe mumbled in reply while glancing back down at his patient, at one hand feeling guilty for what he had done and just wanting to get out of there as smoothly as possible. At another he realized there was still a possibility for him to get more time on his own with the sleeping young beauty, if he could just calm down a bit and start playing his cards right. "It's nothing serious really... But I may want to keep her under observation over the night, just in case..."
"Why? What's wrong with her then?" The young man objected, now unconciously starting to get more aggressive in his questioning as he was obviously worried about the girl. His muscular build and the frown on his face was intimidating enough for the old doctor, and he immediately stepped backwards to let him inspect her for himself.
"Nothing serious, as I said..." He repeated while trying to calm both himself and the other man, nervously wetting his lips before continuing. "I think she's taken a kind of medicine that's rather peculiar to this island... Do you know if she's been feeling ill lately, or if she's eaten something unusal?"
"We only arrived yesterday!" Jimmy pointed out to him while shaking his head, then looked down at the girl again with something doubtful in his eyes. "We only grabbed a couple of drinks in the morning, and then she passed out..."
"Okay... Did anyone else but yourself serve her these drinks then?" The doctor asked him, but immediately realized his mistake as the man looked up at him with sudden anger in his face.
"You mean someone could've drugged her?!" He growled, then looked like the final piece of the puzzle finally dropped in place. "I knew it...! Those bastards down by the bar! They..."
"Well, that's between you, them, and possibly the police..." The doctor tried to tell him as he continued ranting about their morning down at the bar, allthough he'd personally prefer to keep the latter far out of this affair for now. "Until then I only want to make sure your - fiancee? - doesn't get any worse..."
"Well, yeah... Of course..." Jimmy had to accept the doctor's good will, allthough the mention of drugs made him even more protective about his little sister. The mention of the two of them being a couple passed him completely by, as it wasn't the time for arguing about things like that right now. "But... does she have to go to hospital? Or is it enough if I just keep an eye on her over the night?"
"Well, her condition seem to be stable for now..." The doctor had to admit as he too returned to inspecting the sleeping beauty, feeling uncertain about outright lying to the other man. This was his last chance however, unless the girl got worse during the day of course, but if so he would never let his own lust for her body get in the way for doing his plight as a doctor... |
