My thoughts of Jenny and what she had just whispered to me, were interrupted by a double knock on the door. Typically in a hospital, there is a knock and the door is immediately opened afterward. It's more of a courtesy knock than anything else; a "here I am and I'm coming in" declaration and heads up, as opposed to an actual request to enter. If you're in the middle of a magical moment, you'll be very embarrassed. This time, however, the door did not open after the knock.
"Come in!" I called.
The thick oak-veneered door swung inward, and Sarah entered the room. I figured I was in for an ass chewing, but at this point I could not have cared any less. My thoughts were all focused on the love of my life laying next to me on the bed. To my surprise, however, her tone was very different than I was expecting.
"Can you tell me what is going on, Jack?" she inquired softly. "All I'm getting is a wall of silence, or referrals to talk to someone else. I know you're part of this somehow, but I have no idea why or how you are involved in all of this."
"I can't exactly tell you what is going on," I began, "because the case is still ongoing and more arrests are going to be made. I can tell you this, however: there are several people in this hospital who are facing serious prison time for they did regarding my patient here."
"Are you a cop?" she asked bluntly.
"No," I replied, "but I used to be. That's probably why I picked up on certain things that none of you did. By the way, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Jenny. Jenny, this is Sarah, my supervisor."
Sarah stared in stunned disbelief at Jenny, who had still been in a coma at the beginning of her shift, and was now wide awake. Jenny smiled weakly at her.
"Hello." she whispered hoarsely.
"You're awake!" Sarah exclaimed, as she noticed for the first time, that Jenny's eyes were open.
"What an astute observation." I said dryly. "Yes, she is. Her coma was medically induced by some rather unscrupulous staff at this hospital, hence the arrests earlier."
"But why?" Sarah queried.
"Apparently, they were motivated by greed." I explained. "I can't tell you any more regarding what's happening, but rest assured that those responsible will be dealt with severely. You might get a little more info if you watch the news in the morning though. I suspect that someone's notified the Media about this by now. Corruption in the health care system would be a big story. I'm sure a lot of company bigwigs are gonna get fired over this, too."
"I just can't believe this was going on here at City General." she mused, shaking her head dejectedly. "I thought I knew these people."
"Money is an amazing carrot to dangle in front of someone." I replied. "Greed is probably the second biggest motivator after anger or jealousy. Those people had a lot of money offered to them, I'm sure. What they did was wrong and they are going to pay for it, I promise you."
Sarah nodded.
"I believe you." she agreed.
She gazed at me intently.
"Who are you, Jack? Really? You say you're not a cop although you used to be, but those were federal agents that came in here today, along with city police officers. I heard you give an order and they all obeyed it."
She guffawed loudly, shaking her head again; this time in a perplexed manner.
"You are one mysterious motherfucker, Jack Peters!" Sarah burst out.
"He's mysterious, tall, dark and handsome!" Jenny croaked hoarsely from the background. "And he's my knight is shining armor. I don't care who he is, where he came from, or how many people he may have raped and killed. He saved me from a living hell, and I'm not about to sniff a gift fish in the gills. Just be glad you weren't part of this. Now get out of my room!"
Sarah was taken aback, to say the least. I shrugged, and mouthed "sorry" at her as she beat a hasty retreat for the door and left us alone. I looked at my blonde darling, and grinned at her.
"Aren't you just a little firecracker!" I exclaimed with a laugh.
I sat next to her, and took her right hand in both of mine. I then kissed her hand gently and offered her a cup of water with a flexible straw. She took several sips of water to cool the burning dryness in her throat and smiled, before continuing her tirade..
"It's none of her business who you are!" Jenny spat defiantly; taking a few more sips. "She never did anything to help me. None of them did. Just you, Jack. Only you; and I love you so much!"
"Oh Jenny, I love you too." I murmured. "I'm sorry I raped you. I just couldn't help myself. You were so beautiful. You ARE so beautiful!"
"You didn't!" she asserted. "I wanted it just as badly as you did. Probably even more. I hadn't been laid in two years until you fucked me! How long had it been for you, Mister Blue Balls?"
"Three or so." I admitted. "I think."
"You poor thing!" Jenny exclaimed. "And I thought I was missing out! Okay Jack, we're going to have to work on that."
I smiled again, as I gazed at her beautiful face. I loved her attitude! She was very open about her feelings, but she wasn't being snarky about it either. She just told things like they were.
"I know you fucked me on my back," she continued, "but that was because of my situation. What's your favorite position, Jack?"
"On my back, with you riding me." I answered. "I can play with your tits while I cum inside you. I'd like that."
"That's my favorite position too!" she exclaimed. "Oh Jack, we are going to be so perfect together."
She looked longingly at me and smiled.
"I had no idea what you looked like when you fucked me," she explained, "but you were so sweet about it. You touched me in special ways and made me cum. It had been so long! It felt so wonderful, to feel you inside of me, and then to feel your magical fingers on my clit. I was in love with you for what you did to me, but then today, I saw you for the first time and I wasn't disappointed. You are so handsome, Jack!
"I was so in love with you for taking the time to talk to me and communicate with me after you fucked me. I knew you really cared, and that I wasn't just a fuck toy for you. You could have been the ugliest man on Earth and I would still have loved you for what you did for me. But Jack, you are so handsome! I know you're older than me, but you are still such a good looking guy."
"Thank you." I replied. "I used to be an actor and a model. But then, I got older and I never updated my head shots."
"You should!" Jenny asserted. "I'll pay for it, Jack. You are so handsome! I'll be your sugar niece if you want."
"My what?" I inquired. "What in the world is a sugar niece?"
