"Ms Kamali can we do it now. I mean, Mrs Blake and Mrs..."
Arching a eyebrows dangerously getting mad as the clown that was the excuse of Mrs Blake assistant kept telling her what to do. He never did it when the two women in charge was there, guess he wanted to affirm himself as a man.
He stepped back afraid of her hitting the table that content very important things that they have to recollect to make the collection full. Briskly one guard jumped to it avoiding the disaster.
"What is your name again?" Looking him right in his eyes without waving her gaze once like an hawk washing its pray making him started moving uncomfortably from one foot to the other like he was under water.
The atmosphere in the room became colder than in a freezer, Alicia was so impressed that she moved behind her back as she would have do with her own mother. She was really as cold as she would have been, even scarier.
"I, I, ma'am..." Closing his eyes a moment he took a sharp breath then open it back. "I'm, my name is huh... Boyer... Gareth Boyer ?"
Chuckling at his stuttering insensitively, she looked him up and down clenching her jaws her index nail tapped two time on the table near her then she turned her back to him continuing what she was doing dismissively.
"My dear... When you will be able to pronounce your own name without stuttering like a high school student... contest my authority, untill then go back to your work and shut it before you find out that your trip here was just a dream in your pathetic excuse of life and you're back in your flat asking yourself what kind of dream was this?!"
The sternness of her voice was so cold that everyone shut it off going back to work, it was really like having Mrs Alister clone with them.
All the team of Blake started working in silence doing as said everytime she would called any of them under the impress stare of Sloan, Norman brother, all his team back away when she took the situation in hand, if she didn't though things would have been ugly, like in the picture she gave of the man dream.
Meeting gaze with his men they stood still a slight smile behind the cold faces.
Far away from the museum more completely on the opposite side of the Town in another one, Mrs Blake children was starting the surgeries after the doctors verified there where no problem with their system.
Theirs parents sat in the waiting room not talking to each other but praying for theirs babies to be okay, two groups of the best surgeons was handling it on Mrs Alister invitation this was so unfortunate that her husband chose to not question whatever was pushing her to do such a thing despite her saying it was to help her friend.
He wasn't stupid he knew her and his wife didn't have the best of relationship out of the artefacts area. Praying for it to go well he took his wife hand in his, holding it tightly he met her gaze in a soft way trying to convey all the love he had for her in it, understanding what was going on she placed her head on his shoulder as he put his arm around her protectively.
They were never the kind to say "I love you" but they knew fully well how to show it to each others even in the middle of all the rollercoaster theirs lives was.
Walking in the room to check if they were all good, Katiandra eyes landed on them for a moment before closing the door of the private area where they were waiting to no disturb the couple, she knew it could go for hours and didn't wants to add the pressure of what she could want in return on it. Her heels clicking on the marbles floor she made a sign to Norman who walked behind her before entering the Royal office, there were one in every hospital. Her husband idea.
Getting the point of it Norman freeze the entire system of cameras in all the hospitals as a man got out of his office after receiving the signal of the lights going on and off two time. Walking rapidly he entered the computer machine headed to the server of the three most important hospitals of the country, then walked out sweaty but relieved that nothing has happened, no one saw him going in and out, entering his office he closed the door slide to the floor his back on it breathing heavily.
The sound of his new phone started ringing startling him to not end. Instead of answering he destroyed the item at the third ring. Immediately Norman entered the Royal office nodding at his boss, not ten minutes after the head of the hospital walked in with a man the woman already knew.
"Your Excellency, I'm here to let you know that things are going well, we received the papers from Alister Memorial hospital, the Blake was on the list, I'm sorry for the wait." The oblivious man said trying his best to not meet her eyes while he excused himself for the logistics problem his hospital had to receive the papers from his fellow hospital.
"Do not worry about it. I'm happy to hear that. What is important is for those kids to be able to go back home without their parents facing any problem. Send them to their Ambassy, they wanted to verify if they were listed on the receivers chart."
Nodding his head the doctors verified the documents one last time before giving it back to Mr Hill.
" The legislation on the case is really hard, the parents could go to prison for doing something like that without all the proof it was all legal. You are a real friend your Excellency, not everyone would have done that without waiting something in return, I'm proud to have you as our Queen. Thanks you for your devotion for those in need."
Smiling as she would do when people would praise her, she shook his hand not once looking at his fellow near him.
"I believed in love you know. That is why I wanted to create all those hospitals to help people in need, sure our people are priority but at this state no one in this country can say Mrs Blake isn't. Her pain touch me more than ever, I've been with her more than with my own family sometimes."
"Yes, I is a tragedy what was about to happen to her children you know, it is really good fate that we exactly had the hearts they need. I'm confident the surgeries will be a real success like I said earlier. Thanks you for your presence your Excellency it is always a pleasure to have you here, now if I may I have to give those papers to out fellow from United States."
"Oh it is normal doctor, you may go." Smiling big after she shook his hand he walked out of the office, holding the files, it was the very first time she did so, her security for all the time she has been coming would not allowed anyone to touch her, it has been twenty five years.
Far away in her thoughts Katiandra eyes wandered around through the balls proof window exalting, she kept that people expression she used when out not waving for a moment, she knew that there were cameras in the room, a small smile crept on her lips barely visible.
She knew that the man will act like a puppy defending Mrs Blake in front of the authorities of her country in charge of verifying if everything was legal send as soon as the information was out.
Crossing her hand over her chest she leaned sideways on the glass waiting, her mind playing thehe image of Lorelei as if she was using a screen, every detail of her face and body was overflowing in her taking in another dimension far away from the jail that was her life.
Deep inside of her she knew that doing what she set up to do will hopefully help them. It has to, she could have it another way.
Walking in the law department of the hospital he was in charge of, the doctor who just left the woman everyone wanted to breath the same air with, cleared his throat making everyone in the conference room looked up standing at the same time.
The chief of the Americans delegation walked towards him his hand out, after sharing a firm handshake they looked at each other straight in the eyes.
"Mr Harvey in charge of everything here, how about we go straight to the point? You know our regulations are strict in this kind of situation, we won't bother you if you show us a proof the Blake children was listed here to receive hearts transplantation. As simple as that and we are off." The man eyes scrutinizing him didn't do a thing to the doctor who handed him the files a bit bored, nothing could diminish the feeling of high he was experiencing.
"Everything is in the files for you to see and proceed with. We have the best hospital in the area for you to just implied whatever is in your mind."
Reviewing the folder Mr Harvey looked up from time to time getting annoyed by what he was reading.
"This list is date of six months earlier.... Seriously... That family was waiting for years."
"Yes Mr, the date are exactly what is written. Mrs Blake children was listed a little before that and the hearts have been received one week from today. If we understand what is written you'll see that there are two people before them one being non fit for the surgery because we had to put him in a coma, we don't know if he will survive though. That left the Blake and one heart which we will see if the others names fit it."
"Your basically telling me that your are this big hospital in all your region and you got only four names on your list. Seriously! And you want us to believe that! And your list is only older of six months! This is clearly what we call fraud in our country!"
Sighing deeply under all theirs gaze the man leaned back in his chair not blinking once his face showing his level of annoyance.
" It would have certainly be if the site where our servers are based wasn't on fire seven months ago.... Killing five of my colleagues. Now I don't know who taught you how to do this job you are doing which I respect from now on... But don't push it. THIS hospital was built to help poryisians first then the friends countries that participate to build it, YOUR country is one who always paint us as lower human that is why your people don't want and even aren't allowed on those lists."
Stopping he breathed straight at the man who back off a little, the room was now so silent that you could cut the tension with a knife.
"Your point is insulting for our country. I don't understand why you people are making a fuss out of this? Mrs Blake is a part of our country, she is a friend of us hence why the king Alister and his wife accepted her children on the list when they learned about their situation. It is only normal. If there were only one heart or two? It would have been different... But there are four of them, one we are giving to another hospital! Are you actually listening to yourself?"
"This is a routine don't take it by heart doct..." The woman near Mr Harvey tried to tone the discussion down well aware it was a particular tough subject for the man but was cut sharply by the hand he moved up to stop her lame excuse his neck bit red.
