"Lauren, Lauren wake up" chloe called out, tapping her gently, and suddenly the sleeping Lauren woke with a start, panting hard..
Looking frantically around the room, she calmed a little as soon as she saw the familiar environment.
"Hey, hey, are you ok?" Chloe asked while moving Lauren curls behind her ear.
"Huh?" Lauren mummbled still looking around frantically before gathering chloe into a big hug..
"Thank God It was a dream" she whispered softly as she begane to relax.
"I had the craziest dream ever, you will never believe me if I told you" Lauren said moving away just a little.
"Try me " chloe said making her self comfortable beside on the bed.
Lauren began Narrating her dreams as vividly as she dreamt it.
Chloe tried hard to keep up with the story but ultimately gave up.
"Like I said, I know you wouldn't believe me" Lauren said getting up from the bed and heading to the bathroom.
"I never said I didnt, and besides it's only a dream"
"Doesn't matter anyways..... I have a tight schedule today, need to be at Chastain by eight to perform a Coronary bypass with Professor Turner" Lauren said while brushing her teeth.
"I thought your dad has retired?" Chloe asked after spitting out the foam In her mouth.
"Well he did but the patient is his very good friend"
Both ladies went downstairs to have breakfast as the table was already laid out by the chef.
"Let's hit the club tonight" Chloe suggested after finishing up her break fast.
"I still have to go to the NDI (National Division of Investigastion) we have a very important task" Lauren said finishing on her meal...
"Does it have anything to do with the missing children?"
"I love you koko but its classified, I will meet you in the evening at your company when i'm done at the division, ok" lauren said before running up to her room to prepare for the day.
_______________________________________________
"THE Professor Lauren will be heading the surgery today" a resident doctor at Chastain asked a nurse as soon as the news began to make rounds.
"Yes, the patient today is a high profile figure, Senator Francis, he requested the best of the best in the business, also Professor Turner would be among the team of surgeons ".
"Oh, how I wish I can simply be inside the room with them while they perform the surgery, but of cause i can always watch with my fellow residents since it will be televised for the doctors" another resident purred.
"I also heard Proffessor Lauren, the daughter of cause not the dad, is a special agent at National Division of Investigation"
"How exactly is she even able to do that?"another intern asked.
"I heard she finished her Doctorate at Twenty and became the youngest doctor in the country to perform a Coronary bypass, spent two years at the hospital performing impossible surgeries before having a career change two years ago...." the nurse narrated
"Oh she was so good, that she was nicknamed hand of God, such an icon" another said with dreamy eyes.
"Is everybody in the hospital suddenly healthy that four health professionals found it a good time to gossip" the Head nurse bellowed while the four resident scurried away...
"Humph, that's what I thought" he said and continued his ward rounds.
Meanwhile....
Lauren drove into the hospital, dressed in a Navy blue Jean, white tank top and a brown leather jacket. No one would have guessed she was a doctor..
Walking into the reception area she smiled as soon as the smell anticeltics hit her nose.
Making her way into the general ward, she saw a man having a heated argument with a nurse.
"How is my son goddamit, I am asking you a question" the man bellowed.
"You need to calm down sir, your son is being operated on in the theater" the nurse said as she tried attending to other patients..
"Hey I'm talking to you" the man shouted as he shoved the nurse hard on the hand.
"Someone call the security"..
The man tried assaulting her again, but his raised right hand was twisted behind his back and he was forced to his knees.
He tried to fight with his other hand, but it was equally twisted and this time he was pinned face down to the ground..
"My hand, my hand let go of my hand " the man winced in pain.
"Who the fuck are you?" He cursed..
"Special agent Lauren Turner, now apologise to the nurse who you just assulted" Lauren commanded...
"I'm so sorry, i'm so sorry please let me go this once " the man cried in pain.
"Good boy" Lauren said before letting go of his hands...
Just then the security team arrived at the general ward and escorted the man out.
Every one inside the general ward gave a loud applause to Lauren for how she swiftly dissolved the issue.
" Lauren, long time no see" twenty seven year old Jack, Chief Medical Director of Chastain called out as soon as he saw Lauren.
"Dr Jack, how are doing?" The two shared a hugged before making their way to the elevator....
"Oh, the office of the CMD looks good on you, I must say" lauren commented.
"All thanks to your dad I guess".
"Let's go, everyone is waiting" he said as he led her to the elevator.
"Professor Lauren welcome" one of the senior surgeons said as soon as she walked in.
"Professor Margaret!!!!" Lauren was suprised to see one of her idols in the meeting room.
she made her way to the elderly woman and engulfed her in a hug.
"Oh child how have you been" she asked
"I have been good, I thought you had retired?".
"Oh i'm only here on a consultancy capacity" professor Margaret said.
"Dad, how have you been" she hugged her dad.
"You look good kiddo" he said, looking her up and down.
Lauren went ahead to great every of the veteran surgeons in the room, before going to change in the office reserved for her when ever she was in the hospital.
They were prepped about the surgery and Thirty minutes later everyone of them went inside the theater...,it would be a six hours surgery.
In about five hours, the surgery was done and was a success..
She didnt wait around to be congratulated but rushed back to her office, changed into her clothes and made her way to the elevator, the briefing at the division would be starting in the next Thirty minutes..

Walking back and forth in front of Damien's room, Damon, wondered why and what made Damien lie unconscious the whole day, and that deep wound on his neck, how did it got there?..he had so many questions but no one to answer him.
"Derek, how is he" Damon asked as soon as derek came out of Damien's room..
"I dont know how to say this" Derek paused as he tried to make sense of what he saw, propelling his glasses back, he stared at the tense Damon
"that deep cut on the side of his neck was caused by a lycan's claw"
"What!!, how is that even possible when he has been in this room since morning?.....that doesnt make sense" Damon queried.
"Exactly but the good news is that the injury is healing very fast on it's own, something that is a miracle as we know how deadly and lethal the claw of a lycan is, he will soon be up and then we can know exactly what happened".
They were still talking when the nurse came out and informed them that the patient was awake.
Derek compelled the nurse to forget everything she had seen and witnessed before letting her go.
Rushing into the room, Damien was already up and closing his buttons.
"How are you feeling?" Derek asked inspecting his neck and wasn't suprised that he was all healed up.
"What happened, how did you end up getting that nasty deep cut on your neck?" Damon queried
"I need a drink, maybe then I'll tell you two the crazy stuff that happened this morning" Damien said as they left for Lux, one of his club.
Twenty minutes into their arrival at Lux, the three men were barely seated in a VIP area at the club when , two extremely beautiful ladies walked in.
The men in the club observed them immediately as they walked in, as though fated, one of the lady's turned and her eyes met Damien's.
"That's her, That's the lady in my dream"
