" A man by the name of Falcone is looking for you " the receptionist said.

" Falcone...I don't know anybody by this name " I said in confusion.

" You must be the one and only Dr Jannah Mohamed " a deep voice said from behind.

I turned to face the source of this voice, and I came face to face with an old giant man, wearing a very fine suit.

" Excuse me!! Do I know you sir??" I said.

" You don't, but I do know you " he said with a smirk.

" Are we going to continue speaking in puzzles? " I asked, as I was getting upset with this weird conversation.

" No, I'll clear everything out, if you give me ten minutes of your precious time " he said.

" Okay, but I don't have much time " I said.

" Don't worry I don't have much time either. Can we sit right there? "

he said, pointing at one of the tables in the lobby.

I didn't say any word, I just led the way heading to that table.

As soon as we sat down,

" How can I help you? Mr..." I asked.

" Falcone " he corrected me.

" Sorry, Mr Falcone, how can I help you? " I asked.

" Oh, you can do so much to help me!!" He said.

" Didn't we agree on speaking in a clear direct way? " I said.

" Oh, sorry, my bad, your boyfriend has something that belongs to me!!" He said.

" Sir, you made a mistake, I definitely don't have a boyfriend " I said, getting up and leaving the table.

" James!! " He said.

" What?!!!!" I said.

" You heard me, James Wayne, I don't care what you call him, but he has something that I want " he said.

" Oh my God, you're the one who wanted to kill him " I said, as everything became clear in my head, and my body dropped back on the chair.

" Guilty as charged " he smirked.

" How dare you come to my workplace? " I almost yelled at him.

" Unfortunately for you, I dare, doctor, I have so many things to make me dare come to your workplace " He said, rudely.

I was speechless of how rude he was.

" Oh, don't be terrified of me doctor, I don't bite " he said.

" But you kill, right? " I said, snapping back into reality.

" Yeah, that was the rest of the joke that I didn't want to say, I didn't want our first meeting to end on bad terms " he said.

" Oh, it already ended " I got up to leave.

He grabbed my arm violently,

" Come here and sit down " he said in an ordering tone.

I can't deny that I was terrified at this moment, he was unstable, he seemed to have the capability of killing me, or at least hurting me in public.

" I'm not here to play, I know very well how much you mean to him " he said.

" I don't know what you are speaking about, I haven't seen him since he left the hospital " I tried to deny.

" I also know that he is in your apartment, right now, I have my men surrounding the complex where your apartment is " he said.

I didn't say a word, I was terrified that he would try to hurt James.

" What? The cat ate your tongue now? Say something..doc? " He said.

" What do you want? " I asked.

" The land, that's all I want " he said.

" It's specified for building an orphanage " I said.

" Consider me an orphan " he laughed.

" I can't force James to do anything against his beliefs he is just a friend " I said.

" Yes, but I can force him by using you " he said.

" What do you mean? " I asked.

" It's easy, I'll make your life a living hell, I'll make you kneel before me to beg for your life.....or beg for your death " he whispered.

I just looked at him, to make sure that I heard what he said right.

" Believe me I didn't want our first encounter to end on bad terms, but what can I say...I have a hard life " he said, leaving.

When he left, I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

The first thing that came to my mind was calling James, after ringing for a couple of times, James answered.

" Alhamdulilah, you are okay James? " I said.

" Yes, I'm fine, what happened? " He said in confusion.

" Falcone came to see me here, he kept threatening me and..." I stopped.

" And what? " James asked.

" He knows that you are in my apartment!! He said he had men surrounding the place " I said.

" Oh God, I knew he would find out but not so soon!! " James said.

" It's okay, I think you should leave the place now without them noticing " I suggested.

" How??" James asked.

" Go to the trooftop, and jump on the the neighbouring one, it's about 50 cm away, then use the fire escape of the nieghbouring complex, I think this would work " I said.

" Yeah, I think so. But what about you?? " James said.

" Don't worry about me, I'll be safe as long as I stay in the hospital " I said, trying to reassure him.

" Okay, I'll call Matt and ask him to meet me in a nearby street to pick me up " James said.

" James......just stay alive for me " I said.

" Don't worry, In Shaa Allah it's gonna be okay. " he said, hanging up.

I tried to wash away all my feelings to go back to work, as I was preparing myself to do so, a nurse came to me and said,

" Dr Miller wants to see you, Dr Jannah? " She said.

" Okay, suddenly a lot of people are interested in speaking to me today " I mumbeled.

I went to Dr Miller's office, after I sat down he said,

" Dr Jannah, I'm sorry, I'll have to let you go, it's out of my hand, the CEO of the enterprise that owns this hospital has called me in person and asked me to...fire you " Dr Miller said.
