CARTER

“Mr Vale” Donna said exhaustedly as I approached the Mabel health facility. It was a pale clean building surrounded by trees and silence.

I gave her a quick nod and she led me into the building.

“We’re so grateful you came personally” She continued as she led the way through the hallway into a large but weird-looking office. “Please sit”

She walked over to her desk, pulled out a large binder, and handed it over to me.

“What’s this?” I asked, retrieving the binder from her.

“The patient logs for the past sixteen months”

“Oh” I said and skimmed through the pages. “I’ll have my associates look at these”

She nodded.

“Can I take a look around?” I asked.

“Of course” She turned around and led me out of her office.

The tour began from Donna’s office which was in the administrative wing, just as she stated.

“We treat about one fifty to two hundred patients a year” She said as we walked.

We took the elevator to a different floor and the air here was different, It was quieter with a few s

  • His office my rules    Chapter 72

    ELIThe sun was scorching, and we made a huge mistake by not sitting on the benches in the shade. Now the seats were taken, and we were stuck, battling the lashing sun.We had a test coming up in a few hours and Maya and I were trying to catch up. With everything going on, I had barely any time to study well. I was honestly only hoping for the bare minimum on the test.Maya groaned and twisted in her seat.“I know right. Who on earth invented tests”“Oh shut up. You’re going to ace it anyway”If she had said that, a few weeks ago, I would not have had any reason to debate her statement. But now, I had more than enough reasons.“I was thinking about something. I just didn’t want to say it earlier”I frowned, “What is it?”“Uhm. Have you thought, maybe Dean Holloway may be a part of this too?”“What do you mean?”“What if he’s the one we’re looking for”I thought about it for a few seconds. “I’m not sure”“I mean, they don’t go way back but they have known each other for a while. And if

    CARTERI didn't bother to go to the university. Now I was in and out like a ghost. Only revealing myself there when I'm needed. I stayed at the firm mostly now, whenever I needed to get out of the house. Before, I found comfort in school, but now it is not the same anymore.“Sir,” my secretary said gently, knocking once before opening the door, “your mother is here.”I looked up mid-signing. “What?”“Uhm, Mrs Vale. She’s here” she said“Send her in” I said after a momentThe door opened again, and my mother stepped into the office like she always did, quiet, composed, carrying herself as if the room had been waiting for her long before she arrived. She wore a soft cream coat, hands folded in front of her, her eyes were already scanning my face the way they had when I was a boy and she was trying to decide whether I was hurt or just angry.The door closed behind her.Neither of us spoke at first.She took the chair across from my desk without being invited but I didn’t stop her. Why wou

    ELI“The one time I decide to skip school, this happens” Igroans into the phone“Relax” Maya says “It's not like anything significant happened. I only recognized them from the other day”“You saw them?” I asked“Yes, I did. They were more today” Maya said and my heart skipped a beat, “Just one more” but it didn't make it any better.“Ugggghhhh” I groaned again into the phone“Are you okay?” Maya asked“Do I sound okay?”She didn't answer.“I need air,” I said, getting up from my bed and walking towards the window.“What if they call me in next?” I asked suddenly. “Well I'm not even on the premises but what if they do?”“Relax, they won't”“Huh? How are you so sure.?”“They just left Eli”“Oh. But that doesn't mean anything you know. They could call for me or come back”“Yes, they might”I breathed, “I don't think I can do that. Not after surviving Holloway”“If they do, don't go alone then. Or don’t say shit when they ask”“Yeah, yeah I know that”“I’m coming over” she blurted.“What

    CARTERI had been trying to read an article but I was staring at the same paragraph for a while.I was in ghost mode for the past two day and there were no regrets about it. Even though Liam tried calling me once and I didn't bother to answer. I just needed time away from the rest of the world.I had only texted my mother to let her know I was okay, especially after everything.I kept rereading the words on my screen that refused to settle into meaning when my phone rang. Dean Holloway’s name appeared on my screen.I straightened up and picked the call.“Dean” I answered“Professor Vale” he said, skipping pleasantries “You’re not on seat?”“Yes I am not”“Well, I need you to come in now. We have representatives from the ethics board here for a meeting”I exhaled slowly, “I'm home”“I assumed as much, how quickly can you get here?”I hesitated for a minute, “I’ll be there in a second”“Okay. Good”Then the line went dead.I grabbed my keys and jacket without thinking too hard about it.

    ELIBy lunchtime, Maya and I had turned a quiet corner in the garden into our unofficial headquarters.Her notebook was open between us, pages filled with names, arrows, and question marks. Mine looked just as chaotic, though I liked to pretend it was organized. We weren’t exactly investigators, but we were getting there.We went over some points again like the fact that Carter never had any feud with anyone.She glanced at me. “You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?”“I wouldn’t say enjoying,” I replied. “More like… bothered enough to not drop it.”“Good”“What about Dante Hue?” he seems close to Professor Vale.“No no, trust me, they're tight. That's Carter’s best man there”“Hmm” Maya sighed.That was when footsteps stopped near our table.V F Maya reacted instantly, snapping her notebook shut. I followed, sliding mine beneath a textbook just as Liam’s presence registered fully. I didn’t need to look up to know it was him, there was something unmistakably confident about the way

    CARTERI sat on the edge of the couch with my jacket still on and my elbows resting on my knees. I hadn’t taken it off since arriving, as if I stayed half-ready to leave, the weight of the evening wouldn’t settle fully on my shoulders.Dante handed me a glass but he didn't speak right away. “He already knew” I said finally, staring into the amber liquid. “I don't think they knew the details but they knew just enough to make it look ugly”Dante leaned against the counter. “Your father?”“Yes.” I exhaled slowly. “An ethics board member called him. An old friend. Asked if he was related to me, as if I were a liability he forgot to declare.”Dante shook his head, “that’s bad”“He didn’t ask if it was true,” I continued. “He asked why I was humiliating the family. If I’d lost control.” My jaw tightened. “As if that’s the only thing that matters.”“And what about Liam?” Dante asked carefully.I let out a short, humorless laugh. “I’m sure he every second of it. Well, before I punched father
