Chapter 49 The Truth Would Set Us Free
Eric and Raven stood in the hallway holding each other close, and Raven had to admit to herself that the comfort factor in that hallway went up at least 100%. They gazed out the window, neither speaking; watching the clouds gently floating across the vista waiting for Vin to emerge from Craig’s room. Ric looked down at her, the decision already made up in his mind, he had to tell her what he knew. He didn’t owe Vin anything, but he couldn’t…wouldn’t let a lie sit between him and Raven.
“Jic…I have something to tell you” he started, “it’s about Vin.”
The frustration seemed to fill her face, “Xa-He’-Ta-No, please…I don’t want to get into that right now.” “I know the two of you are never going to get along, and that’s probably all my fault.” “I’ve really made a mess of things.” “But I know now what I have to do…things just can’t go on like this…”
He quickly interjected, “But Jic you don’t understand…”
“Yes I do Eric…I do understand.” “You were right…you were all right.” “Everyone who told me to be careful with him, not to be so trusting…not to let myself be blinded by the ‘stardom’; you were all right.”
He tried to interrupt her again “Jic…”
“I don’t want to talk about this right now, I know what has to be done, and I’m going to do it.” “I need to end this before it gets any worse.”
“Jic will you please listen to me?”
“No Xa-he’-Ta-No!” “Please don’t rub it in…, I’ve acted like a fool, I admit it, please don’t make this any harder than it has to be.”
“I’m not trying to rub it in Jic.” he said exasperation getting the best of him. “I’m trying to tell you something important here and you won’t let me get a word in edgewise!”
As he opened his mouth to speak they were interrupted by the voice coming from the doorway.
“Maybe she doesn’t want to hear what you have to say Ricky, ever consider that?”
Eric looked up to see Vin striding towards them, his response was quick and to the point. Shaking his head in disbelief at Vin’s assumption he replied,
“Ya know you really are a full fledged ass.” “Tell me Jic…what do you see in this guy?”
Vin was geared for a fight, and now seemed like as good a time as any to him. As he moved towards Eric he pulled off his jacket and dropped it to the floor. Raven intervened, stepping between them yet again. Pointing her finger at Vin she laid down the law.
“Don’t even think about it.” “Either of you!” “I’ve had just about enough of this macho crap.”
Then turning to Eric she ordered “Ric…stop baiting him!” “I mean it!” then swung back around just as quickly to confront Vin.
“And you…you really do need to get over the idea that you can whip everyone in the world…trust me on this one Vin…Standing Elk didn’t raise any punks!” “Okay?”
Before Vin could respond another voice was heard, it was Dr. Millieux with an update on Craig’s condition….
“Aahhh…am I interrupting something here?” he questioned eyeing the two men suspiciously.
At the sight of Dr. Millieux the two near combatants all but disappeared for Raven;
“No doctor you’re not…is there any news on Craig?”
Eric and Vin were still glaring at each other. Both men standing their ground, neither willing to back down.
“Is there a problem here?” Dr. Millieux questioned, “because this is not a battlefield gentlemen; and quite frankly I’d think that you’d have more important things to think about than whatever is causing this conflict.” “Ms. Scott…
“Raven…call me Raven”
“Raven… I’m afraid the news I have for you isn’t very good; The fluid buildup is increasing, we’re going to have to go in and relieve this pressure on Craig’s brain stem.”
Turning then he addressed Ric… “Dr. Andrews my Chief of Staff and I have been going over the procedure you laid out for us and she’d like to have you go over it with her in person.” “As you know this is a fairly new process, and if she approves…well we’d like to have you scrub in and lead our team on this one.” “I know you said you’d only observed to this point, but it’s more than any of us have done, and the procedure does look promising…do you think you’d be up to it?”
Eric didn’t hesitate, “Of course doctor…I can handle that.”
Raven spoke up next, apprehension coloring her voice…
“Ric are you sure?” “I mean…if you’ve never actually done this before…”
“Don’t worry Jic” he said soothingly, “I wouldn’t even think of attempting it if I didn’t think I could handle it, I would never put Craig in jeopardy like that.”
His response seemed to quell her anxiety, and she nodded her agreement conceding this decision to him. Vin was not as convinced and quickly voiced his opinion…
“Rae...baby are you sure about this?” “This is Craig we’re talking about, and he’s already said he’s never actually done this procedure himself…what if something goes wrong?”
“As I said if I didn’t think I could do it I wouldn’t even think of attempting this.”
Then focusing his gaze on Raven he continued…”Nothing will go wrong Jic…I promise you.”
“Babe…he can’t make a promise like that…he can’t guarantee you that things will…” Ric interrupted again..
“I can guarantee you that if we don’t make this happen Craig will die!” “I’m sorry Jic…I’m sorry to have to say it that way, but we don’t have time to debate this….”
“Then you better make time,” Vin chimed in with a threatening manner…”If anything happens to Craig..”
“Stop it!” Raven said just above a whisper…”Stop it!”
As she faced Ric she took his hands in hers turning them over, and examining them as if she were looking at some priceless artifact. The tears began to run slowly down her cheeks and as she looked up into Eric’s eyes she spoke…
“These hands have never done anything to hurt me…” “My brother is safe in these hands, just as I’ve always been.” Then, bringing Eric’s hands up to her mouth, she kissed the backs of them and spoke again…
“Do it.” “Bring my brother back to me Xa-He’-Ta-No.” “Give me back my brother…”
