Chapter 11

“Asa!”

Asa was on his way to his next appointment when he heard Tiffany yell out his name. He stopped in the middle of the hall and turned. Tiffany stood several yards behind him, a legal pad in her hand, wearing a very scared frown. “What’s wrong?”

“We need to talk. ASAP. Christian’s office.” She spun around and stalked off down the hallway.

“What the heck?” he muttered as he watched her disappear around the corner. He tucked the holotop he’d been carrying under his arm. Something had her flustered, and Asa knew it had to be serious because Tiffany, by nature, did not pander to drama. She tended to be far more flamboyant than her sister, but the last time he’d seen her this upset was when their clinic had been in meltdown mode during the Katie/Charla incident involving her and numerous patients who had been poisoned.

He rushed to the nurse’s station. “Tammy!”

The young, red-haired, human nurse who had been working on a computer gave a start, then turned in her chair to face him. “Yes? What’s wrong, Dr. Bradley?”

“Reschedule my current appointment. I might need you to reschedule others, but I’ll let you know. I’ll be in Christian’s office. Here.” He handed her his holotop. All of their staff now used them for charting patient information due to Tiffany’s work in revamping the patient filing system. “Drop this in my office.”

“Okay, sure,” she replied, her expression bewildered.

He wasted no more time getting to Christian’s office. The instant he entered, Asa knew the situation was bad, because both Christian and Tiffany stood in the center of the room wearing matching expressions of anxiety.

“What’s going on?” he demanded.

Tiffany shook her head and frowned at the legal pad she still held in her hand. “I’m not sure, but I have a really bad feeling about Chelsie, Asa. Did you by chance talk to her this morning before her doctor’s appointment?”

Asa gave a shake of his head, confused. “What are you talking about? I spoke with her before we opened, but she never mentioned a doctor’s appointment.”

Tiffany shared a sinking look with Christian. “Yeah, well I figured as much. Most likely there wasn’t one. She told me she had a routine gynecological exam with a female doctor in Baton Rouge. Chelsie sucks at lying. With me anyway. I knew something was up, and it’s been eating at me all morning. So I went to her office and found this in her desk.” She handed him the legal pad.

Asa took it and read aloud the header before he got to the body of the writing. “Exterminating a Snake? What?” He glanced up at Tiffany.

“Yeah. Keep reading. You’ll figure out who the snake is soon enough.”

He began to read and instantly realized this was some sort of strange list of tasks that involved Chad because point six read: Call Chad at nine a.m. His attention riveted back to point one, very confusing. It read: Lab work results on pregnancy. He didn’t know what to make of that.
