The Beginnings of Revenge. . . Who: Irene Turner (aka Lady Godiva) OT: Kevin Van Warren or Van Warren family members Where: The hospital When: Thursday evening
Irene had gotten the call hours later, Chloe called to inform the bassist of Kevin's attack. The musician, of course, rushed right over and then got railroaded at the desk by some stingy nurse who said only family was allowed to see Kevin. Irene was polite, at first, until she kept getting the same answer over and over. Finally, Irene loudly said, "Madam, his sister may be here, but I'm the one that fucks him every night at all hours. You had bloody well better let me see him or I will cause a larger scene than I am now!" Apparently that had gotten the nurses attention. Irene was given Kevin's room number and she had rushed in.
What met her eyes days ago had caused the usually laid back musician to burst into tears. Kevin's neck was a mass of bruises and he was hooked up to IV's, machines. . .It was quite frightening to see.
That had been several days ago and Irene had hardly left the hospital except to shower and grab very little sleep. She now lay by his side, her head cradled on his shoulder. Fighting off another wave of tears, she listened to monitors beep and whir around her.
