Chapter 21

Without thinking, James pinched the youngest Cullen’s nose, pressed his mouth to the others lips and pushed a lung full of air into the suffocating teen. He lifted his head and the air whooshed out. James breathed for Edward again.

The action was maintained for barely a desperate minute until Edward coughed weakly and initiated his respiration on his own again.

James slumped back into his own seat and watched the shallow breathing of his captive.

It was beyond rarity that James ever felt any sense of fear. But he had no doubt that the adrenalin he had pumping through his bloodstream had stemmed from a heedless sense of terror. He did not fear because he was afraid of being charged for murder, no. He was terrified because he was so obsessed and fixated with Edward Cullen that the thought of him dying was gut-wrenching. James had to do something before the teen had another seizure and ceased breathing forever.

He flipped open his glove box and reached for his GPS. He typed in the town they were closest to and searched for a local General Practitioner. It went against all his own morals to expose himself to a member of the public, but as he had no understanding whatsoever of medical procedure, he was left with no other choice.

Scanning through the short list of names, James stopped at one – Dr. Joseph P. Pelletier.

James clicked on the address and the little machine began to intone the directions. Swiftly, James drove in the right direction.

The door to the small doctors surgery burst open as James kicked it in with his foot, the lax, barely breathing body of Edward held securely in his arms.

“Help! Help! My brother has just had a fit!” James gasped out at the receptionist. She looked up with startled eyes.

“Oh dear. Give me a sec, I’ll call Dr. Pelletier,” she said hurriedly, dropping her paper work and pushing a button on the intercom to speak into it.

“Yes, Taylor?” a male voice responded.

“I have an emergency out here. A young boy appears to by unconscious,” the girl, Taylor said. She was clearly concerned but remained calm and level-headed.

“Send him in,” Dr. Pelletier stated. “Luckily today’s a quiet one.”

Taylor let go of the intercom button and pointed to a door to the left of her desk. “Through there. The doctor will see you now.”

James gave a jerky nod and carried Edward into the room.

“Heavens! The poor thing,” the doctor said sympathetically as soon as he laid eyes on the sick figure. “Here, put him on the bed.”

James did so.

Dr. Pelletier looked up at the grim man. “Tell me, what happened?”

Clenching his jaw, James twisted the truth. “Me and my brother are on a road trip when he took some sleeping pills. A few seconds later he started convulsing.”

Dr. Pelletier nodded his head as he set about listening to the beating of Edward’s erratic heart, shining a small light into his eyes and taking his temperature. “You say he took sleeping pills? Why would he do that in the middle of the day, in a car?”

James froze as the doctor picked up some holes in his lie. “Ahh... He, um, hasn’t been sleeping well at night so he decided to catch up on some rest.”

“Yes, but in the middle of the day? Why not wait until tonight?”

Once again, James came up short. How was he supposed to respond to such questions?

“I don’t know, alright! How about you fucking fix him and you can ask him yourself,” James snapped losing his temper.

Dr. Pelletier took an involuntary step back at the sudden fury directed his way. He nodded again and chose not to say anything.

A few minutes passed as he continued with his assessment.

“Is he allergic to anything,” Dr. Pelletier asked absently.

James shot his gaze to the doctor. “I... don’t know.”

Dr. Pelletier looked up from his patient. “I thought you said he was your brother.”

“He is... he’s my step-brother.”

“And you don’t know if he has any allergies?”

“No.”

With a furrowed brow and a measuring stare, Dr. Pelletier looked back down at the boy before him. He took out his stethoscope again and held it to the weak chest. But he was not listening; he was taking a good look at who exactly he was treating. His eyes widened. Thankfully James could not see the doctor’s reaction.

“So where are you boy’s travelling from?” Dr. Pelletier asked conversationally as he wheeled his work chair over to one of the draws against his back wall and acted like he was searching for something.

James’ eyes narrowed. “... Sacramento.”

“Well, you have come quite a way. Why are you going on a road trip, anyway? Strange time of year to go on that type of holiday; with it almost being Christmas and all. Not to mention the snow. It could be dangerous.”

A soft growl of anger slipped out of James’ mouth. “You ask too many questions!”

Dr. Pelletier twisted his head around to the fuming man. “I’m merely starting a conversation, young man.”

“Yes! And while he is lying there nearly dead!” James near yelled, pointing his finger at Edward.

“Of course,” Dr. Pelletier said seriously looking at the frail boy.

Shutting the draw, Dr. Pelletier wheeled himself back over to the boy with a packaged syringe and a small vial of clear liquid.

“By the way,” he said, “I never caught your names.”

“Jim,” James said stiffly. “I’m Jim and that’s my brother... Eli.”

Dr. Pelletier made a small smile. “Nice to meet you, Jim.”

Unwrapping the syringe, Dr. Pelletier filled it with the serum from the vial.

“I suspect that you’re brother has taken an overdose of his sleeping pills,” Dr. Pelletier explained. “So I’m giving him an injection of Ipecac to induce vomiting. Not only will this stop his body from absorbing any more chemicals in the tablets, but we will also be able to see how many he took.”

He tapped the inside of Edward’s elbow, inserted the needle and depressed down the plunger. It only took a few minutes for the desired effect. Dr. Pelletier rolled Edward onto his side and held out a bucket just as Edward gagged and brought up what little there was in his stomach.

The doctor observed the contents of the fluid and suddenly became cross. “Do haven’t been feeding him!”

“What?”

Edward coughed weakly in the background as James and Dr. Pelletier stared at each other.

James’ eyes widened in realisation! The doctor knew who they were! He pulled his gun in a split-second and levelled it at the man.
