Chapter Twelve - Russ

It was always the way. Just when things were going well something would happen to complicated it. I had yet to actually look into it but was increasingly convinced that “Anything That Can Go Wrong Will” was the Ricci family motto. Which would make sense considering we were apparently directly if distantly related to Richard III. The victim of the first smear campaign courtesy of Shakespeare. To me, that meant that the family was cursed.

Just as I was kissing Ann goodbye, hoping I could actually leave on good terms, a call came in. My phone buzzing violently in my pants making me jump a bit. My mind whirled with every curse word I knew but none of which I said out loud. I was still trying to maintain a patina of professionalism, despite the fact I had just raw fucked my boss in her office. “Don’t tell me you have another woman in your life,” Ann teased as I rushed towards the door.

“Something like that,” I said, meaning it as a joke but not actually taking the time to explain that I meant that I lived with my sister. Even though that would have been a smart thing to do, it was my habit to keep my private life private, and my family protected. At least as much as I could.

The special ring tone I had for my sister on my phone indicated that there was a real problem. Kim wasn’t known for exaggeration, always being the more grounded and serious one. When I got to the elevator and checked my messages, Kim was brief. All she said was, “come home immediately.” I was out the door in less than a minute, not even bothering to grab my briefcase.

All the way home my mind raced, going through every possible scenario, most of them involving something happening to Carly at school. Thought if that had been the case, they would have called me directly, being her emergency contact, rather than going through Kimberly. Which really only left one option. I hit the gas, hoping to hell she had just been called in for another shift.

When I got the apartment, Kimberly was nowhere to be found, which was surprising given the size of it. Going into the bedroom, I found Kimberly on her bed in the fetal position, her jeans open at the waist. Struggling to keep myself together, I went over and knelt by the bed, gently stroking her hair, getting her attention.

“Sorry,” she said weakly. “Don’t you dare apologize,” I replied. “What’s happening?”

“I really hurt in my back and abdomen,” she said, nearly crying.

“Kidney infection?” I asked.

“I-I think so,” Kim stammered wincing in pain.

“You want to go to the hospital?” She nodded, unable to speak, tears forming in her eyes. It was disconcerting seeing my sister, the nurse, so vulnerable. She was usually the one taking charge.

Figuring she wasn’t up to walking and not wanting to wait for an ambulance, I got Kim’s shoes on and carried her down to the car, her slight weight easy in my strong arms.
