《Stonehearst Asylum》Part 3

Nurse Phoebe
Tension grows making itself visible on Jackie's forehead. Short while later, her phone vibrates uncontrollably, she waits a little before taking the call racking her brain a bit. She slides the green sign on her iPhone with her lazy long finger and places her phone beside her right ear waiting for a response, "Hello? I heard someone from this number called earlier enquiring about Phoebe?" says a tender female voice from the other end of Jackie's phone, Jackie replies, "yes?". The female on the otherside seems like she is in a rush and didn't want to speak over the phone about Phoebe, she ask Jackie if it's possible to meet up at a local park, Jackie agrees to meeting her.
Later that day, Jackie waits for the female. Hours past by and the woman is nowhere to be seen. She then decides to give up and go home, until a stranger in dark clothing, covering their face, approaches her with a familiar voice. "Hi, are you the lady from the..", mysterious woman interrupts Jackie by quickly responding, "Yes.", Jackie then gives an irritated response, "well, you're late and I can't be out this late, especially at night".
The woman then introduces herself as Lisa-Anne, hoping that Jackie would stay after revealing her name to build a trust between them, Jackie introduces herself as well and they start talking about Phoebe. "I only came this late so there won't be many people around snooping on us."
Lisa-anne looks around and leans over towards Jackie whispering, "Phoebe isn't a true nurse, she cheated her way up from nursing school. All she does is go into a hospital or an institute and set the patients she bonds well with free. She doesn't have many friends, you know. So she decided to make her own with coocoo heads. Anyway, last I heard she was still at Stonehearst; she never left. Apparently, she tried to help one of those crazies escape and got caught trying, so they put her in confinement and tortured her." A shocker to Jackie's ear that a nurse was confined just for helping a patient, Jackie felt fearful that it may occur once again but she'd be the one in confinement. Despite having acknowledgment of all that, she continues to help patient 102.

Jackie heads home, waving goodbye to the young stranger. Little did she know someone had broken into her home and burnt the files. Distraughted by what has happened she tries to figure out who would do such a thing. She immediately contacts 911, in case the person was lurking around her home, still. Cops arrive as soon as possible and ask for detail of what happened, Jackie was brief about it since she wasn't home at the time.
It was later revealed that Lisa-anne was in fact the perpetrator, for her being late was an excuse, she had a window of opportunity to break in & wreck the place including the files. Jackie didn't bother with Lisa-anne, since she got the info she needed and had read all the documents in the files.
The next day, she goes off to work to find a note at the front desk warning her not to go further or she'll live to regret it. She ignores the note and continues. Jackie learns that a woman who used to work at Stonehearst Asylum as a doctor visited to see how everyone is and left her a message. Jackie then realises that someone is truly after her, she ran as fast as a leopard from ward to ward, to check if the old doc was still around, but she was gone. She begun wondering why this former Dr doesn't want her to go further with what she had already discovered. She asks her colleague who that was, she responded "Dr. Bloom. Well, formerly known as Dr. Bloom". "Who is Dr Bloom", she wondered.
Jackie then makes an excuse to get chief of staff out of his office so she can snoop a little more and see if she can find any information on Dr Bloom. Unfortunately, she doesn't succeed, so she waits him out; keeping her watchful eyes locked on his door.
It becomes late and he finally heads home, while everyone is heading home, she only had a window of 7 minutes to access the data files. She comes across a file named 'Seniors' where Dr Blooms documentation happens to be too. It was written that she used to work here and despised a certain patient who almost ruined her and the time she left was just before Jackie applied for her role at Stonehearst. She immediately opened up her email because she didn't have time to print all that information, she attached the file and other files, sending them while clearing any evidence left behind by deleting browser history.

She arrived home, her racing heart began relaxing a bit more from the rush she had just been through. She takes her time opening her pc and looking through the files, resting her arms and body in a very comfortable position, easing out the restless pain. As she is reading through the files she begins thinking about the details:
______________________________________
'New intern Bloom, has been promoted from the success in her role, now known as Dr.'
'Dr. Bloom, ensures that all patients are in their rightful place and nurses'
'Dr. Bloom hires a few more nurses to help with ratio'
'A troubled patient didn't seem to enjoy the company of Dr.Bloom, however, it didn't bother Dr. Bloom. She performed many sessions with the patient; patient 102'
'Dr. Bloom places new nurse Phoebe to attend the troubled patient and see if she's successful in helping the patient.'
'Many months later, Dr. Bloom enraged by security at Stonehearst, especially, when a patient escaped. Dr. Bloom ensures the security it tight this time.'
'Dr. Bloom punishes nurse Phoebe for helping a patient escape, by placing her in a dark room where she planned sessions with her. After 3 months, Dr. Bloom had the room sealed off completely.'
'2 years later, Dr. Bloom is promoted to Senior doc.'
'Old Dr's start leaving and new Dr's start applying. Dr Bloom hires Winsler.'
'Doctor bloom has anonymous meetings with Mr Winsler.'
'Senior Dr.Bloom becomes furious from what she had heard, coming from a woman scorned by her husband, all because of Bloom.'
'Bloom declares the new doctor mentally unstable, from family history. Which doctor Winsler's husband confirms.'
'Dr Bloom plans a session with patient 102, that goes on for a long time.'
'Dr Bloom feels some kind of success of the session, feeling happy she asks all staff to celebrate with her'
'A few months later, Bloom hands in her resignation: 2014/04/04, staff plan leaving party'

_______________________________________
Jackie realises that these two have nothing in common. She looks at all the the other files and finds an address file, first thought that passed through her heavy mind was that she may have accidentally attached the wrong file, although, with curiosity, she looks inside anyway. It had an address of the patients families, hers eyes catching one address under the name Peter Winsler; a relative to Doctor Winsler. She searches for a paper to note down the address before planning her next step.

Twice Lived
Previously called Standard Reincarnation Story In a fraction of a moment, the Earth was no more. The planet was destroyed, and billions and billions of people were dead. And it was all an accident. This is the story of Elm. A regular American born once on earth and given a chance to be reborn again on a planet with magic and monsters and dungeons. Except that for Elm, this is far from the idealistic reincarnation into a loving family -- the standard story of a child raised by loving parents who teach him the ways of the world, Instead, Elm is born into a family of inquisitors. An order of nobility that is dedicated to hunting down and killing "Twice-Lived" -- the name society has for people like Elm who are reincarnated with all their memories of their past life intact. Disclaimer This story is: 1) Extremely violent and graphic. 2) Still in a rough draft stage. I see what I am writing more like a synopsis than a fully fledged story. I periodically will go back to flesh out earlier chapters, build characters, etc... If you find the words "Show don't tell," comforting accept that unfortunately, I'm not at that stage of the writing process yet. 3) At one point this story was called "Standard Reincarnation Story," and I had written an extremely off-putting description of the story. This was mostly to keep out people who would just read the silly first few chapters then rage quit as soon as the violent stuff got started. Since I just had my first .5 star rating (without a page read count increase) that technique is not working, so I might as well treat this as a regular fiction and try to get regular readers.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
