Deliberate act

Lewis and Petra were having a good time conversating, when they heard the commotion inside the hospital.

Lewis was alarmed as he knew something news not right; seeing the doctors and nurses running aimlessly was a clear indication of a problem.

"What is happening?" Petra asked, confused herself seeing everyone running.

"We need to get you back to the hospital" Lewis indicated, helping her to her feet.

As they walked towards the hospital premises, Lewis was lucky to see Loren rushing down the hall and so, called up to her.

"Haven't you heard?" She asked, trying to catch her breath.

"What happened?"

"While I was helping Doctor Rodney with the test results, one of the nurse came out of the reserve room and claimed that the president was dying" Lewis gasped in shock.

"Apparently I over heard Doctor Rodney on phone stating that a substance, which they haven't been able to ascertain, was injected into his body"

"Wait, the president is in this hospital?" Petra asked.

"Yes he is, he was brought here for kidney issues and needed a kidney transplant" Petra wasn't listening to what Lewis was saying, her thoughts flashed back to the dream she had.

"Petra are you okay?" Lewis asked, noticing how she was behaving.

"Uhmm... Yea, I am fine. Can you take me to the president room?" She pleaded.

Lewis was confused at first, why did Petra wants to be in the president room, at such emergency times.

He immediately thought back to the phone call earlier

"Listen to me and listen carefully to the things I'm going to say next," the man said. "St. Gregory doctors are killing patients for some power play and politics they are playing. I don't have proof of this yet, and that's why I need you."

"Wait, what?"

"Secondly, if I'm not wrong, Petra Hills is currently there in the hospital, yeah?"

"Yes."

"Good. You'll need to keep an eye on her. She might be the only one who could end this madness,"

Lewis opened his eyes in realization; the anonymous caller was never delusional, he was saying the truth.

"We need to get her to the president's theatre at once!!" Lewis stated to Loren, who was taken aback by the sudden determination in her partner's eyes.

"I think I can help with that."

****

Petra managed to sneak into the theatre without any of the doctors knowing to see what was going on with the president.

"This is all your fault Matt, I was saying this earlier, Clarke Valentine would have been the best option for us....." Ms.Campbell, yelled at Matt, who was struggling to revive the president.

"This is not the time to apportion blames here, we need to find the root cause of this situation!!!" Matt stated, checking the president's pulse.

"Clearly you either put something in his drip or made him took something" Clark accused. All the while, Davis folded his arm and stared at the doctors, without saying a word.

"Matt, what did you put in the president's system" Loren Campbell asked again, but got no response from Matt.

Petra approached the president's bed without being noticed once again and studied him for a minute, the dream shs had earlier on, came back to hunt her once more.

Holding up the temple of her head, flashes of what happened in the dream, came for surface and she was able to see clearly, what the other doctor had injected into the victim in her dream.

When Petra opened her eyes, she realized that the scene being the same with one she had witnessed in her dream.

"He was administered with overdose of tramadol and thus the reason for his convulsing" She explained, causing all the doctors to stop what they were doing and look at her..

"And who are you? How did you even get here?" Petra needed to stay behind amd help, but she also know that the doctors would want to send her out and so, had no choice but to fully introduce herself.

"My name is Petra Hills, and I happen to be a Doctor" Davis looked at her closer for a minute and then said.

"What did you say was administered to him?"

"He was giving overdose of tramadol, whoever did this, has one intention at heart; to end the life of the president" There wasvmurmuring everywhere, even Matt had stopped attending to the president, to take a look at the lady who was speaking

"How can we even be sure that you are a doctor? Clearly you seem to be fake. If you were a doctor like you ascertained, where is your lab coat? Where are you tools and above all, why do you have the clothes of a patients on!!!" Clark asked carefully.

"Okay let me explain real quick about what happened to me; first of i was supposed to be a patient and when I noticed the security service guys were running everywhere, I knew something was wrong and I decided to come check it out and long story cut short, we are here today" Matt couldn't stand to listen to what she has to day again, he approached her and took off his lab coat, saying

"My career and all that I have worked for is on the line, you said you can save him? Please I beg you save him before he dies"

"Matthews don't be so naive as to believe what this girl is saying" Loren Campbell chipped in,

"Oh!! Shut up already!! What options do we have than her at the moment? Clearly there is none. Either we take the risk and allow her do what she can on the president, or we all stand the chance of getting our careers ruined" Dr Davis blew hot at them all and no one dared talk back at them.

Petra took the Lab coat and approached the president. Studying the beep monitor, she noticed his heart rate was already up, his blood vessels seemed to be pumping too hard and above all, he was convulsing. She had experience with a patient like this before and suddenly turned to look at the doctors

"Can I get the Phenytoin injection? It will help Controls partial seizures and generalized tonic-clonic seizures" She explained.

"You heard the woman, someone go get the damn!!! Injection" Davis instructed

"I will go" Clark indicated.

but Petra not liking his persona objected and said "Doctor Matt's should be the one to go grab the injection please," Matts nodded and with a speed of flash, he left the room.

"Just so you know, if anything happens to him, it will be on your head" Clark reminded her but got nothing but a look of disdain from Petra.

Deep down Petra's heart, her intuition was telling her that Clark and Loren Campbell must have done this act and seeing their reaction to her saving the president, just proved she was right.

When Dr Matt's arrived with the injection, Petra collected It and observed it a bit, before finally turning her attention to the president.

"Come on Mr. President, fight it" She muttered as she inject the substance into his vein. After a while, the convulsion stopped and the president's heartbeat and blood vessels were all back to normal.

Dr Davis and the rest of the doctors could not contain their joy as they watched from the monitor, everything being normal. Matts ran and hugged her, tears flowing down his eyes in the process.

"You just saved my career" Petra chuckled and hugged him back. She understood how it felt to be under pressure, while dealing with the president.

"Good Job Mrs. Hills, you just saved the number one citizen of the country, and I am proud to have you in this field" Davis approached her and held her hands, facing the rest of the doctors, and continued.

"Because of her heroic acts today, I have decided to offer a job here at the hospital" Petra was in shock on the announcement that Davis had just made.

While the rest doctors cheered, they were two doctors amidst them, who were pissed that their plan did not work, and indeed, they knew that with Petra's inclusion, it would be a bumpy ride for them.
