Something's Wrong
She looked up at Geo.
“She’s out. She’s had another episode.”
“Another episode? Should we call an ambulance?” He asked her.
“No. It's a side effect of her new medication. Her Doctor made us well aware of the pros and cons of it. He told me she could end up like this or worse. I kind of didn’t believe him because she has been feeling so great these last few days. Hopefully, she will be fine in a few hours. In the meantime, we need to get her into bed.”
Geo thought that was a horrible side effect and wondered if there was any other medication the Doctor could prescribe her. He felt this was his concern now. He could see it in Carolina's eyes. Times were hard for her. She was being brave. She never showed weakness. He admired her more for that.

“Maam, we really should go. Your mother can’t wait.” She knew he was right. She sat back down in the ambulance. He closed the door, and the sirens sounded as they exited her neighborhood. Geo was seeing red. He was so angry with this charlatan of a Doctor. Geo had had his suspicions about Dr. Roberts and his treatment of Mrs. Hilden. He was proved correct when Dr. Roberts informed him that Emily's medication had not been regulated by the FDA or any other legitimate pharmaceutical agents. He also found out the medication was still in the Human trial stages. He had taken advantage of Carolina's mother and countless other patients in their illnesses. He then wondered if her illness was due to an actual illness or the medication this doctor had been pumping her ful
A Pound Of Flesh I Can't See Her Like This
He felt her pain. She had been right. He should have included her when he had confronted Dr. Roberts. “I am having my lawyers look into it. Please, don’t cry. Everything will be alright.” “How do you know that?” She wiped more tears away. “I just know. Let's go visit her.” He suggested, ready to leave the small waiting area. “I can’t." She confessed. "I can’t see her like that. It breaks me down every time.” “It’s o.k., Carolina. If you break down. I will be there to pick up the pieces for you.” He smiled at her. She kissed him lightly on the lips. “Thank you.” She said inches away from his face.

She inhaled loudly and exhaled as if all of her worries had been blown away by it.Geo felt his heart breaking for her. She had been honest with him from the very start and to see her loyalty and love for her mother on full display now was moving. He felt like he didn’t belong here in this special moment between mother and daughter, so he stayed by the door. She was beautiful in her sadness. So fragile. So alluring. He needed to figure out why he was so attracted to her. With every minute he was with her, it was gnawing at him. His phone rang then, interrupting the moment. Carolina looked in his direction then. He pressed the 'talk' button and took the call. “Hello.Yes. Fine.” He hung up.
A Pound Of Flesh Mr. MonZoon
Geo hated to hear that term of endearment come out of his mouth.The car stopped and they were in front of his company, Montclair Industries. It was located downtown. It was a formidable, sleek, high rise building. It was among the newest additions to the city in the last decade. The door opened for him and he got out. The goon snarled at him and he grinned at him, still wanting to punch his lights out. As if they were of little consequence to him he walked past them both without looking at them. Once he made it to his office he saw a portly, elderly gentleman sitting in his inner lobby. Hillary was nowhere to be found. He hadn't seen her since their late-night encounter and he was relieved. The man stood up when he saw Geo walking up to the glass doors of the all-glass lobby.

He pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number. “Yes, Mr. Monzoon. It is done.” There was a long pause, then he hung up and put it back in his breast pocket jacket. Geo still couldn't believe this was happening. In a matter of 24 hours, his father's life of crime had caught up to him. He had so many other things on his plate right now. Hong Kong. Carolina. His father's recovery. Carolina, his mind went back to her beautiful face. He had left her with her unconscious mother; he would have to call and check on her. He could do that as soon as this business was concluded. He crossed his legs then and leaned back in the leather loveseat he sat on across from Mr. Jarcone. “That settles that. Now, Mr. Monclair, If you will give me a list of fifty names. We will
A Pound Of Flesh Carolina
Carolina's mind had finally grasped the current situation at hand. Her tears had stopped flowing so freely now. Her mother was still lying in a hospital bed, unconscious. Carolina felt just as helpless as her mother. The hum of the overhead fluorescent light made time with the sound of the respirator. It was a somber, yet familiar feeling.Would this be her life? She wondered. Endless hospital visits. Always on the cusp of special intimacy with someone she wanted. It was all so pathetically inadequate. It was her life. Even when she got close to someone her mother's health and wellbeing always loomed in the back of her mind. Her current relationship was proof of that.She felt guilty for the anger that simmered
A Pound Of Flesh Geo
Geo arrived back at the hospital several hours later. He hadn't expected his appointment to go on all day. In fact, Geo had been ready to go back shortly after his meeting with China had ended, but that was to not be. Just when he was about to leave, Mr. Jarcone had come back to his office and needed his approval on the area he had picked out in the basement of Montclair industries. Geo had to hand it to him, Jarcone had already found an off to the side, well-hidden area that could be easily turned into a large office space. Once Mr. Jarcone saw Geo's face and that his selection was satisfactory he reached into his right breast pocket of his suit jacket and pulled out another sheet of paper. "I gather my choice is to your liking?" He asked, verifying what his eyes had shown him. "It is. Wha

She looked like a beautiful princess sleeping peacefully and unbothered by the cares of the world.He thought about the circumstances that had brought them together and realized in just a very short time Carolina was one of the most genuine, honest, and caring person he had met in a long time. He didn't know how or why he deserved it, but he knew he had to make sure their time together was well spent.He walked forward and knelt down in front of her.
