Book 2: In the Life of Mia: College Chapter 67
My father and I walked into the room and went to the head of the table where things were getting set up on the computer to be put up on the big screen so we could all see it. My father couldn't believe the photos as they just gathered more and more on the screen along with on the table being spread out. "My GOD....." he gasped looking down as one of the older pictures hit the table from a folder that one of the guys had been holding. I watched as he picked it up with his handkerchief and studied it. I saw that look that was all too familiar telling me that he might just know what this whole thing was about. Stepping back I asked for all the walls to be lined with screens and a min later a team of people were bringing what looked to be glass windows or something and hung on the metal frames just to the left of the room that we were in. I hated that I was starting to feel trapped and unable to get out of the room that was big enough to hold a good 300 people comfortably. I focused all my energy on the clear class that was being tightened down and the men and a couple woman touching it which had it lighting up and was now being over taken by the computer guy who was typing in something on his key board.
By 2:30 am the room was full of new gadgets and my father was going through the older photos and taking mental note of them along with flipping through papers and notes that the psycho had written for years as he had been egging people on to solve the case, and finally he snapped. "These started here in the US..... fuck... look I think I know what this is about, but as you know this started when I was like 18-years-old.. I was not even a lawyer yet, but damn it.... this is one that made me want to become a lawyer and my mentor who is or was actually your Professor in Law and Justice at Oxford. I didn't tell you about our friendship because I didn't want you to think I told him to give you any special treatment.. he'd call every few days to give me an update and tell me what a great kid I had... but damn it I can't believe he didn't ever share this with me...I remember him saying that he had put an add on the computer for pictures, cases, all that shit but they were like posted on hospital websites that not just anyone can get into and then on law enforcement bulletins. The thing I don't understand is why him or you, I guess because of me and our connection we had.... look I have to call my father.... this is now something I think he can help with since if I'm on the right track this all leads back to him and what happened over 20 years ago when he was in emergency medicine along with his own specialty being a surgeon" my father now wanted to involve another and this time a piece of the missing puzzle I was sure.
As my father took his phone out to dial my grandfather, I could instantly feel Ethan come and join us taking a stand right next to me. "This is the reason why none of us on the other side could figure out the pieces ourselves.... but it is still not making since if this all started with dads' dad than why does it fall on you and dad?" he asked. I thought about what him and my father were saying and the only thing I could come up with was. "REVENGE.... someone this psycho loved died.... mother, father, wife, someone and now he's either alone and can't figure out what else to do but make us all go through it and suffer since he's not been caught and he probably feels like he did what he could and had no other options" in that moment I realized that I wasn't just telling my brother Ethan even though I was low enough for only a few people to hear, which was my father and our chief of security. Bailey followed me out the conference room door and made sure that no one followed us since he could see I was tightly wound up and needed my space. "Mia, ma'am you are stressed I can see that.... I want this crazy person caught just as much as you do if not more and your father looks like he's aged in just months of me knowing him... I know this is not the ideal time for this to be happening and I feel horrible that instead of being here for a holiday vacation…. we are here due to a person who is hell bent on you figuring this all out in a matter of days. I am trying to keep my fatherly feelings out of this and it's just killing me to see you like this and protecting you is on my highest priority list which is how it should be. I'm sorry for not just getting you into the forefront of this sooner since this could have possibly been solved by now. You have great instincts, and I am in complete "ahhh" of you when it comes to something so scary as this..."
Bailey had started to get even more worked up now, "Bailey....please.....can you please just give me like 10 mins to just have to myself... not that I'm alone since I have all my deceased relatives hanging around..." I begged of him just needing some time. He knew I could not get any safer and gave me the space but asked me to stay inside the building so that I would not be in harms, way just in case. I nodded and stepped away from him and he stayed where he was watching me walk and walk some more as I was trying to right my head and clear it of the pain that was racking my body even though I had been given a pain shot and Valium by the doctor. "I don't think it's a good idea that you keep taking all these medications when we don’t really know what it's doing to you but we can tell it's doing something and it's not looking good from our side. That's why once you are able to you need to call mother and get the # to the woman she has for things like this…or anything. You need to have her make what she needs when she's sick or in pain..." "Please listen to what your brother is saying Mia...." My grandfather Artemis pleaded cutting my brother off. I tuned them out for a moment as I was getting a buzzing in my head on another level than I was used to and it was almost like a tuner on a radio and someone was trying to get my attention. "JESUS..... this shit is not helping..." I cried out trying to break whatever barrier that kept me from hearing that other level and yet even though I tried I had, had my grandfather's in my ear telling me to be careful when it came to breaking barriers and sound waves that were sometimes not meant to be broken.
After so many minutes I couldn't take it anymore and was ready to just kill myself as the pain in my body and deep inside my head just would not stop and finally just took off my sweat shirt I had been put into and my sweats folding them and placing them on the ground for me to sit on. I was left with my boy shorts on and my sports bra and bandages and sat down needing to completely cool down. After feeling to over-heated, needing to just do a little meditation to right my complete body and hoped I could with just a little time alone. I could hear the people in the distance and even Bailey as he was close and hated when I got stripped down whether I was in shorts and a sports bra. I got centered getting into position of meditation and closed my eyes needing the mental shutdown as my body's temp rose and I did not want to lose control again. I found myself in a stream of warm water on a hillside and feeling my muscles relax finally as peace come over me. Even after a few mins I could hear my name being called out at a little too high of a volume but not over the amount I could not handle. I had put a do not disturb on my mental meditation door for everyone to see that was able to see in or not see in. "I'm unavail.... wait until I have decompressed please!" I whispered into the wind letting it take my message outwards.
At only 20 mins of deep meditations I felt my body being pulled out and knew that it must have been someone on the outside needing my attention now and finally was decompressed enough that I let down the shield from around me and opened one eye. "Hi...... Grandfather.....calm down give me a second to unfold from this position and greet you...” My grandfather put out his hand waiting for me to take it and I knew if I even reached up the pain would start again. "Actually.. I will do it on my own too much pain..." he had me in his arms in seconds picking me up off the ground and carrying me while Bailey picked up my clothes. "What.... happened to you? Has a real doctor checked you over? Tell me what happened..." "I will later but first we need your help with something that's why father had you come. Sorry for bothering you.. especially when you are on vacation and just want rest before your new grand baby comes" I smiled putting my head down on his chest as he carried me to the room my father was in. My father didn't like seeing me hurt and in so much pain unable to help me. "Damn it put your clothes on please!" my father bitched, and my grandfather laughed. "She's not naked son... her body temp is pretty warm so it might be a good idea if she just stays like this a little longer. So put me to work and let me see whatever it is you have that I am needed..." my father cut his father off as he snapped his fingers and waved us over to the table.
