Excerpt:
Laura waved Tara and Charlotte past the scene in the waiting room
and led them into the elevator.
The three women did not speak until they
arrived to the administrative wing.
“Come on in,” she said.
Laura’s office contained an oblong glass desk covered with folders
and computer equipment. Nestled in the corner of the room were a dark, wooden
table and chairs. Tara and Charlotte each took a seat at the table while Laura
relocated a large, silk floral arrangement from the center of the table to the
floor.
She removed a legal pad from her desk drawer and joined the two
women at the table. “Mrs. Steffen,” she looked at Charlotte. “How are you
related to Thomas Steffen?”
“I’m his mother.”
“Do you have your driver’s license with you?”
“Sure.” Charlotte opened her purse and dug through her wallet.
“Here it is.” She handed it to Laura.
“What is your relationship with Thomas Steffen?” She asked Tara.
“I’m his wife.” She removed her driver’s license from her wallet
and slid it to Laura.
The women sat in silence for several minutes while Laura copied
information to the legal pad.
“Do you require this information for insurance reasons?” Tara
asked. “My husband’s boss is in the waiting room. He can provide medical insurance
details.”
Laura folded her hands on top of the legal pad and stared at Tara
and Charlotte. “Three people came to the Intensive Care Unit claiming to be
Tom’s family members.”
“What?” Charlotte and Tara responded in unison.
Laura nodded. “Rest assured your husband is safe. A guard is
stationed outside his door and the people are banned from visiting.”
A line formed between Tara’s brow. “This is crazy.”
“I have never experienced this type of situation and wanted to
take safety precautions.” She slid the driver’s licenses back to the two women.
“I apologize for the inconvenience.”
“I’m glad you are on top of this matter,” Charlotte said. “Why
would someone do such a thing?”
“The man who confronted you on the way to your office, is he…”
“I can’t provide the identity.” Laura interrupted.
“Some whack-job is trying to gain access to my husband. What if he
approaches me or Charlotte outside the hospital? We could be in danger.”
“I will permit you to park in the doctor’s parking lot and assign
security guards to escort you to your car each night.” She bit her lip. “If
your gut warns you to keep away from the man we encountered in the waiting
room, go with it.”
Tara nodded.
“One more thing you should know,” Laura told them. “The man’s wife
offered to submit to a paternity test. Considering Tom is an adult, her request
is ridiculous. Should she pursue this matter with the courts, we’re obligated
to comply.” Laura waved her hand. “Not that I expect her to take the
matter to
court.”
Tara sighed. “We won’t have a problem getting into ICU for
visiting hours tomorrow, will we?”
Laura shook her head. “No. I requested you stop by my office
tonight, so you won’t have a problem tomorrow.”
Tara stood up and shook Laura’s hand. “Thank you.”
“I don’t know what to think,” she told Charlotte on the way back
to the ICU waiting room. “This whole situation is crazy.”
Charlotte stopped and turned to face her daughter-in-law. Her eyes
sagged and her mouth hung slack. “I have something to tell you.”
