"In OUR country the surgeries which are taking place right now are call humanity help. There are two kids whose life will be save by the one you call evil just because their parent are considered as our country friends as will be the lucky one who will receive the last heart that we certainly will have to give away."
"All of that will have convinced me if we could verify in your data base what you are telling us. But unfortunately the servers miraculously burned in a fire that was certainly premeditated. It will not be the first time."
Clenching his jaws his face totally red, as someone in his fellow colleagues that accompanied him gasped, the doctor couldn't believe his ears, flashes started to pass in his head reminding him a reality he tried to put behind him. The woman whose name he didn't knew that sat near Mr Harvey tried to stop her colleague to no avail and had her hands now in front of her mouth.
Chuckling the doctor untied his tie as his colleagues who said nothing until then all wore disdained face toward the middle age Americans.
"I see that you are married. Do you have children?"
"I... Yes. But we are not here to discuss that doctor, we..."
"Exactly, if you would have done your work properly you wouldn't seat here in front of us assuming what you don't know. The fire was caused by thunders Mrs Harvey no one did it, if you want you can asked your Ambassy which provide some help to make it not happen again. I lost my first daughter, her husband and first grandchild in it, my, Wife face depression after that you wouldn't even know how to deal with. So... If it is not asking you a lot...refrained yourself... Mr Harvey. I think we are over here, do what your job require, go on the site, do as you want we are clean here."
Before he could voice his apologies the doctor was out with his people.
"Seriously Harvey! I gave you the files that you apparently didn't read!" Shaking her head disappointed by her colleague behavior the woman who was his second in this mission said before leaving the room searching the man to apologise.
Running through the hallway, she saw the man and his colleagues disappearing in an elevator going up as the number said it was one level above where she was, taking the stairs she did her best to catch them arriving there as the doors just opened.
"Mr Williams, doctor Williams!" Short of breath she shouted making them all looked back.
"What do you wanted now? Some will think that you already did a lot down there." Caught off guard by the authoritative woman that said it sternly, the young woman cheeks reddened to her great dismay her eyes unable to meet hers, it was really a joke how gorgeous she was.
"I, I... Huh... Why am I here?" Looking around her lost in her thoughts one of her hand on her neck she lost all the poise she was known to have in field.
Her gaze finally met doctor Williams sympathetic one as she did her best to not look at the woman again.
"If I knew they will send idiots to lost our time and energy seriously I would have make good use of my time."
The curt comment had the young woman startled bringing her back in her sense.
"I'm really sorry for my colleague behavior early doctor Williams. I won't said that he didn't meant it but know that it is not what we came here to do accept my apologies in the behalf of my country everyone know what happened obviously he chose to not. We, the informations you gave us are more than suitable for us we just wanted to make sure it corroborate what the Blake forwarded us to have the kids here."
Rolling her tongue on the inside of her right cheek rapidly, something she did a lot Mrs Killian thr doctor who first addressed her noticed back in the conference room, she could said she was sincere but was still pissed.
" I, huh, I'm sorry for your lost sincerely, I recently lost my big sister too you know, it's not the same but she was everything I had so... For what it worth have a great day."
Turning her back she saw the elevator doors closing debating quickly in her mind she didn't ran to it not wanting to look more stupid than she already was she could feel theirs gaze on her making it difficult to walk straight.
"You never said your name."
Looking back at the man voice after pressing the button to call the elevator she totally turned to face them.
"Eva Malone, head of the legal department in the US Ambassy. My colleagues don't know how it works here. I'm sorry if you felt insult. I'm sure our Ambassy will deny whatever was said here. I recalled Mr Barrett being at the funerals, I was there myself."
Pensive all the doctors stares changed from cold to warmth all remembering that day.
"That is true Miss Malone. You are not responsible of you fellow behavior nor is the ambassador or your country, that said don't belittle the lost of someone the process is the same. Thanks you for taking the time to come to me."
Shaking his head like to get rid of the sad memories he smiled at her then left followed by the two others men who didn't said a word till the begining, leaving her with the woman she couldn't looked at properly.
Amused by the young woman behavior, Amara Killian slowly looked her up and down clenching her jaws not saying anything to force her to look at her which didn't worked making her sighed.
"Since we are on the sorry notes, I am for earlier, I can be a handful sometimes. Someone who knows how to say sorry like you did has to be everything but idiot. Can we start over?"
Blinking several time at the words she just heard coming from the woman mouth, Eva finally glanced at her to see if it was a prank to be meet by brown eyes that captured her soul making her fully looked at her, the smile she had on her red lips gave chill to the young woman.
"Amara Killian brain surgeon and head of traumatology department."
Still smiling she engulfed the young woman small hand in hers.
"Eva Malone, head of the legal department in the US Ambassy."
The hand shake last longer than expected having the two women in part of theirs brains and heart they never thought exited, it felt like pushing it all away but in the same time, holding on every second they have. Pulling away the forty five years old doctor Amara scrutinized the woman in front of her thinking rapidly.
"Hmm, I never saw you out of that day, now that I remembered. Your husband doesn't let you out or what."
Mouth agape by the way she turned from cold to all sweet had Eva messing with her, she could tell even if it was really subtle that the older woman was hitting on her. Her physical appearance had her a good candidate for that everywhere she went the worse was at work.
"If you can consider my work as my husband then yes. I don't often get out of my office, I leave just behind of it so."
Chuckling softly at her comment the surgeon licked her lips very slowly the tip of her tongue out very aware of how blue eyes followed it the pupils very dilated.
"This is a shame trust me. How about we talk about it in my office it is just..." Looking behind her she pointed at a door not far from them "... There. We can plan something so that I can property apologize. Words, my mother always said, are good for nothing if actions aren't involve."
Leading the way without waiting for an answer she started walking toward her office, Eva erratic breath had her hand sweaty she knew or imagine what could happen in that office she never did it before but scolding herself when the woman stopped at her door to look at her a lust -hopefull expression in her eyes.
Following her slowly she saw a sly smile on her lips which had her blood pressure higher in a sec, when she entered the office she felt someone hand on her arm and a clicking sound signaling that she locked the door after a long moment of looking at each other a bit of fear behind. The older woman cornered her on the wall theirs lips locking urgently hands going everywhere at the same time it was so incredibly good that they used the time wisely not losing any of it they knew it could be a one time thing.
Bored by the endless time the surgeries was taking, Katiandra took her bag on the desk she tried to work on making her way out.
"Mrs Alister are we heading home or at the museum?" Tailing her in a good distance Norman asked to be sure her men knew beforehand.
Not even acknowledging him she kept walking around just to see what was going, even though all the hospital knew she was there, everyone she met in the hallway had big eyes frozen to see her in person reminding her that she wasn't just a simple person as the students at her university made it seemed natural for them to see her everyday. It was an elite university meaning only a layer of the society could afford it.
"Oh my goodness! Mama see! The Queen! She's real!" A young girl about ten shooted holding the elevator doors for them to not closed not giving the time to her mother to proceed she launched at Katiandra whose bodyguards was about to back her away but she stopped them leaning to catch the small form in her arms.
The small girl who reminded her of Lorelei held her tightly crying of excitation. Soothing her with tender words the older woman finally carried her in her arms as she locked her feet around her waist.
At that moment Katiandra wished she could have children with Lorelei one day, kissing the still crying girl hairs since her head was hidden in the crook of her neck she met the mother worried eyes, smiling at she caressed her child back.
"Do not worry it is okay. What is her name?"
"Katie." Her sister who looked fourteen answered on her mother behalf her hands in her back pocket visibly shaken.
"It's, my mom... She name her after you, and my sister, she adore you." That was the brother certainly between his two sisters in ages who answered that time his cheeks rosy.
The bodyguards did theirs best to keep people away from the scenery which had them looking from afar.
"That is really sweet of you Katie. How about we take a picture together hmm? I bet you will like that. Because I certainly will."
Her hand still around her neck the young girl looked at her in disbelief, the mother who seemed to be out of her trance had her phone up certainly to record the moment, seeing that Norman tried to reach it but a simple nod of his boss discouraged him.
"Yes precious, you know that the name you have makes great people okay and seeing how you were determined to come to me I can say you will be one great woman in this world. You never give up whatever you want you will have it, that is a Queen words." Kissing her forehead as she was still a lightweight in her arms Katiandra showed her her pinkie that she immediately linked with hers a big smile on.
"Katiandra never give up promised?"
Nodding furiously her smile still on, the small girl hugged her again then let her placed her on the ground never letting go as she turned to the mother engulfing her in a warm embrace the poor woman was unable to hold her tears sniffing she hugged her back then let go her others children following.
Katiandra kissed them both on theirs foreheads smiling big at all the family. Norman was the cameraman by the moment she finished, another guard using the big sister phone took individuals pictures with all of them, then a family one.
