1 Dr Hayden Harland

Beep beep beep!!!

"Take the patient to the OR he's got an Internal bleed".

"Expect more patients.

There's been a bus accident at 4th Avenue about 10 people are severely injured".

"Dr Harland please take care of this patient. Get your team and get to work."

Kayla Higgins ordered. She had made her way to the top and was the dean of medicine of St Petersburg teaching hospital

"Yes ma'am" Hayden replied swiftly

"Dr Miller, Dr Smith, and Riley come with me ASAP". He said hastily

Hayden was one of the best doctors in St Petersburg and excellent with the diagnosis.

Dr Smith, What's the status of the patient?"

"35-year-old male accident victim with internal bleeding in the upper right abdomen. Heart rate is 180/100mmhg. The patient is already on dextrose and normal saline"

"Inject him with 10mg of atropine Stat and place him on Emacell to compensate for blood loss and Prep the patient for surgery!! "Dr Hayden ordered.

After 3 hours of surgery, Hayden came out pretty much exhausted after stabilizing the patient.

He scrubbed out and quietly stepped out of the operating room, all hands were on deck due to the accident, the hospital looked like a market place.

Hayden went to the changing room and wore his shirt and neatly buttoned it down. He was lost in his plans for the weekend. He had submitted his application for the weekend off.

"I've got big plans" he whispered underneath his breath with an evil smile slowly putting on his trousers. He dropped his theatre clothes in the janitors closet. After hanging his white lab coat, He stepped out of the changing room. The voice of Dr Higgins voice.

"Dr Harland ? Nice work today you're off for the weekend".

"Thanks, Dr Higgins," he said with a slight smile.

He was extremely smart. But who could have guessed the gross evil underneath that simile? He wasn't friendly or chatty but a killer wasn't something anyone would ascribe to his personality.

It was 5:00 pm on Friday which was usually a rush hour for most clinical staffs of st Petersburg.

It was Friday night!!!!

Hayden left the clinic and got into his car and drove off. He had secretly installed cameras in his father's apartment at Ravensburg and carefully studied everything about his father's schedule and that of Stephanie. He knew when they got out and when they got In. He figuratively had their schedule written in the palms of his hands.

He had moved out since he was 18 after high school to college under a different name.

he wanted an identity that wasn't Esteban, hence he attended med school as Hayden Harland while still doing his duties as Hayden Esteban.

He had to juggle between his books and work. His only motivation was rage and revenge

He had felt so much pain from growing up In a divided household.

His father had been a horrible jerk but he never allowed his father to see the side of him that despised him. Of course, he had other plans.

The sound of the rush hour could be heard and felt as he drove home. He made a stop at Orion street. To say hi to the owner of De Cafe, Jeffery Stones. Which was a popular coffee shop in Orion Street.

He would always stop by the coffee shop to grab a cup of coffee before leaving for work. Mr stones had become quite accustomed to seeing him around.

"Mr stones!", Hayden called with a smile. "Here's my favourite doctor", Mr stones said with a smile which revealed his perfectly brown teeth. He was an elderly man in his mid 60's. He had lost his wife to Breast cancer two years ago and had no children. Never adopted any even.

He was about 6ft tall he had white long beards and a funny-looking moustache on his face which he often referred to as his signature.

"Hey, Mark. Give the handsome doctor the usual, Double expresso."

"Thank you Mr stones" he retorted with a smile.

He sat in the cafeteria for some minutes reminiscing the event that occurred on the 16th of August which was 24 hours away from his mother's memorial. His mother had committed suicide on August 17th, 2000 approximately 17 years ago he was only 12.

His mind quickly flashed back to his childhood as he sat in the cafeteria

"Amy get back here!!!"

Drunk, Rudolf Esteban screamed at his wife. "Hayden baby go inside your room and lock the Door okay don't come outside"

.." Mum!!!!!!" the little boy said with teary eyes. "Will you be fine.?"...

"Yes, my dear I'll be fine.

"go now!"

she said with her voice raised as she heard footsteps from the other side of the room.

Pah!!!!!

Rudolf sent a slap across her face... "You don't have to showcase your foolishness in front of me I already know that."

"I just saw a speck of dust on the shelf. What have you been doing?!!!"

The sound of the slap sent chills down Hayden's spine as he fearfully opened his room door slightly with tears rolling down his face as he watched his father throw punches at his mother. His heart broke, he had come out to protect her but his father violently shoved him aside making his head hit the wall.

"Hayden!!!! Amy screamed as she rushed to protect him from further harm. Esteban was dead drunk, at this point he was capable of anything.
