all
together. That would leave him with his car business, which is what he
preferred to begin with, so everyone would be happy. Saul was onboard with
this plan, we just needed the money to buy him out, as well as do some
renovations to the building, and buy some newer equipment. The four of us ran
this side of the business already, so we knew what it was worth, what it
brought in, and what we needed to do to make it succeed.
After
cleaning and locking up, I checked the time on my phone, I still had a few
hours before meeting the psychiatrist that Dr. Moore was sending me too. I was
about to ask what everyone wanted to do with the time when I heard someone
clear their throat, I looked over and Marc the producer was gesturing us over
to him. I really hoped he wasn’t going to ruin my good mood, I had a lot of
fun today working.
“You
four need to go to the medical station, for drug testing,” he said looking at
me like he expected me to fail.
“Drug
testing?” asked Simon.
“Mmhmm,
one of the conditions you agreed to when you signed the contract, all teams can
be drug tested at any time.”
“Fine,
let’s get it over with,” I growled and headed off in the direction he had
indicated.
We
sat down in the medical station, and were handed paperwork to fill out, asking
our names, date of birth, and any medications we were on.
“Do
you need dosages too, or just the medication’s name?” I asked.
“Just
the name of all the medications you’ve taken in the past thirty days.”
I
nodded and went to work listing my scripts. I looked over at Simon.
“Have
I had Haldol?”
He
nodded so I added that to the list and handed it back to the nurse. A man came
and took Liam, Kale, and Simon to the guy’s bathroom and the nurse followed me
into the girls’ room.
“These
are all the medications you’ve taken in the past thirty days?” she asked.
“Yep.”
I said taking the cup and heading into the stall.
“Door
open.”
I
sighed, I knew this routine already, and I did my business and put the lid back
on the cup. I walked out of the stall, handed her the cup, and went to wash my
hands. I walked out the door and waited for the guys to come out. I could help
but think it was interesting that we were the team chosen to have the first
drug test. I had some ideas on that little coincidence, but thought to leave
it alone while we were still here in the building.
After
everyone was finished, we headed out to where our bikes were parked. “So where
now?” asked Liam.
“Somewhere
I can hydrate,” I responded. “I’m going to have to pee in another cup in about
two hours.”
“Come
on, let’s go find a coffee shop near the hospital,” Simon said. “You two can do
whatever you want, we’re done for the day.”
“Sweet,”
said Liam climbing on his bike, “I am sure we can think of something.” He
winked at me and then he and Kale took off.
“Come
on, let’s get out of here.”
“Yeah,
I’m tired of this place.”
We
found a small coffee shop inside the hospital and after we ordered, we sat at
one of the tables nearby. I was people watching when Simon cleared his throat.
“Yes?”
“So
are you thinking the same thing I am, that it’s not exactly a coincidence that
we were drug tested?”
“No,
I don’t think it was.” I pulled my gaze from the young girl carrying a small
baby and looked over at him. “No, I don’t think it was at all.”
“Any
ideas?”
“The
producer trying to get rid of us, my father, Thayne who knows.”
“Who’s
Thayne?”
Damn
it. “Uhm, one of the Ace & Lace guys,” I told him waiting for the
inquisition to begin.
“How
do you know any of their names?”
“I,
uh, I met him this morning,” I said hoping he would drop it.
“This
morning?” he asked raising his eyebrow.
I
took a drink of my coffee and tried to find an answer that wouldn’t get me
yelled at. “In the parking lot.”
“Uh
huh, and?”
“And
he wanted to tell
together. That would leave him with his car business, which is what he
preferred to begin with, so everyone would be happy. Saul was onboard with
