Section Eight:

The Mission

Chapter 36

After rounds on Thursday morning, I talked to my partner, Johnnie, who had agreed to see my remaining hospitalized patients the following morning and get them discharged home. He knew I’d be out until the following Monday and had agreed to take care of any of my laboring patients who might show up while I was out. It was time to switch modes in my head. I mentally flipped the switch from ‘Dr. Mark Bishop, OB/GYN’ to the off position and toggled on the ‘father, husband, protector’ mode. It was time to implement the plan that would eliminate the shroud of danger named Brandon that haunted my daughter Ryan and threatened her safety and happiness. I felt a wave of nausea hit me as an image of my impending violent activities entered my consciousness.

It was not easy to change my mindset from that of a healer and comforter to that of a punisher and killer. As the time approached when Hank and I would execute our plan, I tried not to dwell on the violence of the act we would commit, but rather on the justice and the necessity of protecting my sweet daughter from her abuser. With the latter thought in mind, I steeled myself for the next twenty-four hours, during which time the problem of Brandon would cease to exist, and, if all went as planned, I would have rejoined Mandy on our weekend getaway to North America’s southern capital of drunkenness and depravity—New Orleans. I had already planned my first three toasts. With Mandy at my side, the three of us would drink first to the elimination of an evil motherfucker from this earth; second, to a bright and safe future for my daughter; and third, to commitment to our oath and the fact that we possessed the strength and fortitude to honor it.
