Chapter 9 Freedom

"Why are you still here..." Damon said when he walked into his office floor and found John still sitting in the secretary's office waiting for him... "What happened, sir!" John said and hurriedly stood up. He adjusted his glasses that had shifted down, and Damon shook his head... "Don't you have somewhere to be? Most people would probably go on a date or something after work and..." Damon paused and checked his watch for the time before he looked back up at John and sighed deeply.. "it's almost midnight..." Damon said, trying to stir their conversation, but John wasn't ready to... "Why did you ask me to call Dr. Robins over to the penthouse... did you get hurt? you should have gone to a hospital then... we should go right now!" John replied, his eyes and voice filled with worry, and Damon could only pat his shoulder. "I'm fine... I wasn't the one who got hurt, " He informed and started to walk away towards his office... John stood there, his eyes wide as he hurriedly walked after Damon... "What! who got hurt!" He asked as he walked into Damon's office too... Damon took off his jacket and walked over to the couch in his office, where he laid down and closed his eyes... he had had a really long day and wanted to get some rest, but he doubted if he would be able to get any sleep... "I don't know her name..." Damon muttered under his breath... he should have asked for her name before leaving, so he could find out more about who she was and probably about what happened to her... "Sir!" John said in a raised voice that made Damon's eyes flutter open... he turned to look at his secretary, who looked completely concerned about what he had said... The look on John's face almost made him chuckle... He looked completely taken aback and much more affected than Damon, who was the one who almost ran someone over... thankfully John didn't drive him today; he was sure John would have passed out from the shock of almost running someone over... "She is fine, you don't have to worry... I almost ran her over..... well, she almost got herself run over... but she is okay and is currently resting at the penthouse!" Damon explained to John, who stood there staring at him with his mouth open and his eyes wide... "What do you mean you almost ran someone over! You should have taken her to the hospital... no! Then they would find out..." John said and ran his hand through his hair he was already dishevelled and looked stressed out, and Damon could only stare at him and sigh deeply...
