Chapter 9

The scream caught her by surprise. Sitting up in the chair, she looked around at the others in the room. Sure enough, they’d heard the cry as well.

“Someone is hurt,” she said out loud.

Standing up, she raced out the front door, not even realizing that the three men who had been working at the computers were trying to catch her and stop her. The guards outside were able to stop her though and she came to a skidding halt.

“I’m sorry, ma’am,” the one that appeared to be in charge said, raising his hands up into the air.

“What are you doing?” she questioned sharply. “Someone is hurt. It sounds as if a child is crying.”

The man simply shook his head. “My orders are to keep you safe indoors, ma’am.”

Raven stared up at the man. He was tall, but not nearly as tall as Turk so his height didn’t bother her. She was confident that she could get around him if she needed to. Three of them though, that might pose more of a challenge.

Thinking that logic would win out more effectively than just barreling through the men, she took a deep breath. “Okay, here’s the deal. There’s a child out there who is hurt and in pain. I’m a doctor who can help that child. If you don’t get out of my way, I will make sure that you spend the rest of your life knowing what happened to that child and how you prevented me from helping him or her. Are you really willing to deal with that on your conscience?” she asked him.

She could see him wavering, feeling guilty even as the child screamed again, obviously hurt. “Look, I know cries and that one isn’t truly serious. It sounds as if she’s just scared. How about if we compromise? Send one of your men out there to check on her. He can come back and let me know if something is truly wrong or if she’s just scraped her knee and is in pain. Deal?”

The man hesitated for another moment before he nodded his head. “Fine,” and he turned to the man on the right. “Get Madrood to head out there in jeans and a tee-shirt. Fast. Report back as soon as he finds out what is going on.”

Raven thought that was the best she was going to get but she still paced back and forth in that front room, her hands clasped together as if she needed to hold herself back in some way. That wasn’t far off the mark though. She hated to hear someone in pain and not be able to alleviate that pain. She loved helping people. It’s what she did and she was darn good at it. These men were just being obnoxious about Turk’s commands and not letting her go outside. It was ridiculous!

The guards were good, though. She kept waiting for one of them to become distracted so she could dart between their bodies and sneak out of the compound but they were attentive until the man in the jeans ran back.
