DNeil Defends Nadine - Pt 2 (With Sonny and Eve)

"They're not following us."
Nadine glanced across at Sonny in the driving seat, then back though the car's rear window; the road stretched empty behind them as they sped away from the hospital.  Nadine wondered what her escape meant; was she a fugitive now, or the victim of a kidnapping?  Then she recalled what he'd said.  "Isn't that good?" she asked.
"I mean Doc Collins and Eve; they were supposed to be coming out right behind us."
It took Nadine a few tries to get the words out.  "Are they in trouble?"

Sonny pulled over and turned to Nadine.  "If they are, I have to go back for them.  But I'll get you somewhere safe first."
Nadine's heart sped up at his words, and she shook her head.  "Please don't," she said.
"Don't worry.  But I have to-"
"No!" she almost shouted.  Her breath was heavy in her chest, her vision narrowing to a tunnel as she sought to push her voice out through her rising panic.  "Please don't leave me alone.  I'll... I'll come with you, but I don't want to be alone, please don't leave me alone."

Stupid.  She wouldn't be any help to him, and she wasn't the one in danger now; but no matter how ashamed it made Nadine feel, her stomach twisted at the thought of being left alone.
He nodded.  "All right.  But do what I say.  This is going to be dangerous."
"They... they were already..."
"You don't have to say it.  I know what they were doing.  I'm sorry we didn't stop it."  He started the car again, and turned around, heading back toward the hospital.

   ****

The orderly, Niella remembered his name was Jake, dragged her over to where his two colleagues stood by Eve's unconscious body.  One of them, Drew, looked up at Niella, then at Jake; "What the fuck are we going to do with them?" he asked.  "We could hide that girl in the ward, but not these two."
That girl has a name, Niella thought, but she kept quiet.
The third orderly, Gray, said "We've got to take 'em somewhere."
"Where?" Drew asked; "We're still on fucking shift."
"Not so many people here at night," Jake said; "We'll be good for an hour or so.  Pick that bitch up and put her in the car."

Despite everything, the situation hadn't seemed quite real to Niella until that moment; now the danger of it crashed in on her.  She opened her mouth to scream for help, but it was too late as Jake's hand clamped over it.  He pulled her against him, dragging her the rest of the way to their SUV, as the other two pushed Eve into the back seat.  He followed, pulling Niella in after him; the other two got in the front, and she heard the engine start.

   ****

Sonny turned back into the hospital car park.  Dr Collins's car was still there, its driver's side door hanging open; no sign of her or Eve.  He scrambled out and ran over to it; the doctor's bag and car keys were on the tarmac, leaving no doubt that trouble had overtaken the two women.
"I don't see them," Nadine said from behind him.  She looked unsteady on her feet, still half out of it from whatever drug they'd been feeding her.
"No.  Gray couldn't have taken them back inside.  Too dangerous."  Sonny tried to recall what other vehicles had been there previously; he was sure one had gone, but he couldn't recall what.

"We didn't pass anything, did we?" Nadine asked as if reading his thoughts.
"No, we didn't.  He must have turned the other way."  He took Nadine's arm and led her back to the car, helping her back into the passenger seat.  "He wouldn't risk going far. Maybe he lives nearby."  But he didn't know where Gray or any of the other secure ward's orderlies lived.  And there was no telling how long the police would take if he called them. The only option was to follow the road and hope to see something that gave them away.

   ****

Impact shocked Eve back into awareness, followed by bright light and the taste of blood in her mouth, and the cold of nakedness.  She was lying on a concrete floor; no, being dragged across it, one of the orderlies pulling her by her bound wrists.  He tied them to something while his fellows pulled her legs apart.  Eve tried to wrench her arms free, to twist her legs and kick them, but she was too groggy and they were too strong; she couldn't stop them from forcing her down flat and spread.

She couldn't see Dr Collins; they wouldn't have left her there, unless... but then hands were on her again, gripping her painfully by the thighs.
"I don't know what you were doing there, bitch, but you picked the wrong business to stick your nose into."  It was the man she'd taken down, looking eager for revenge.  He let go of her and fumbled at his fly.
"Motherfuckers!  I'll kill the lot of you!"  Eve renewed her struggles, but it was too late.
"We don't have time for this," one of the others said.
"Yeah we do.  I owe this cunt good," he said as he rammed his cock into her, pounding hard against her crotch, making each thrust hurt her as much as possible.

   ****

Niella lay in the back seat of the SUV, straining at her bonds as she listened to the sounds outside; it was obvious what Gray was doing to Eve, but Niella's guilt was interrupted by the door opening and Jake dragging her out onto the garage floor.
"In for a penny, in for a pound, I guess," he said.
"You won't get-" she started, but a slap across the face silenced her.
"You're not the doctor here," Jake said.  "Just another slut."

He shoved her to the floor, but was on her again before she could try to move; he and Drew tore at her clothes, quickly stripping her.  How many patients had they done this to before someone had noticed?  She felt the touch of cold metal at her ankles, and then the ropes round them were cut.  But that didn't mean freedom; Drew was forcing her legs open.  Niella shut her eyes against what was coming, but that didn't stop the pain as he entered her, or as their combined weight pressed down on her bound arms.

   ****

"There's a light on in that garage," Nadine said.
"That could be anything," Sonny replied.
"I know, but..."
"But it's late, so it's worth seeing why someone's up."

Sonny stopped the car in the entrance to the drive.  "Stay here while I check it out," he said; "lock yourself in, and don't unlock it till you see me coming back."
Nadine nodded and took the keys.  She waited long enough for Sonny to slip out of the car, then locked the doors; she kept her eyes on him as he jogged down the driveway, heart pounding in her chest.

   ****

There was a window beside the garage door; grimy, as garage windows tended to be, but Sonny found a cleanish patch to look through.  He had to stop himself cursing or shouting at what he saw; one of the orderlies from the secure ward on top of a woman, thrusting into her... Dr Collins.  He grabbed the door's handle; as soon as he opened it, they'd know he was there, but there was no helping that.  Taking a deep breath, he hauled it up and open, then charged into the garage.

The garage was filled with the sudden screeching of metal; it took Eve a second to realise it was the door opening.  She heard a "Fuck!" from someone before Sonny's form barreled into the man on top of Dr Collins.  Eve's own rapist pulled out and turned toward the fray. Immediately, Eve craned her neck up to get a look at her bonds; she was tied to the tow-bar of the SUV.  She twisted her wrists round, trying to get her fingers at the knots.

Niella let out a hiss of pain as Drew's cock was yanked out of her; it was Sonny, he was on top of the other man, punching him in the face. Had he seen Jake and Gray?  Niella yelled out a warning, but Jake swung a type iron into Sonny's back, knocking her momentary rescuer to the floor.  He raised the weapon, aiming for Sonny's head; Niella desperately kicked at his knee, sending him off balance.  Then Gray was on her, his arms round her neck and chest, pulling her upright.

Sonny forced himself back to his feet, turning to face the other orderlies; the pain in his back made it hard to breathe.  Two of them on their feet, one armed, the other holding Dr Collins pinned against him; but at least the third one wasn't stirring.
Then the one holding Dr Collins let out a strangled sound as Eve's arms locked round his throat.

"You can't tie knots for shit," Eve hissed into her attacker's ear; "used to all that hospital kit doing the work for you, right?"  He let go of Niella, trying to claw behind him at Eve's face; he tried to shove her backwards, off balace, but now she was the one with the leverage.  Eve tightened her hold, cutting off his breath.

Niella looked between Gray and Jake.  Gray's face was darkening as Eve choked him; it didn't look like he'd be getting free.  Jake twitched as if to swing the tyre iron at Eve, but his eyes were on Sonny; he was unsure which of them to attack.
"Give it up," Niella said.  "You're not getting out of this."

The last orderly shot a hate-filled look at Dr Collins; the distraction cost him as Sonny lunged forward, grabbing the tyre iron and twisting to slam an elbow into his jaw.  Another couple of blows and he was down; Sonny looked at the one in Eve's arms, but he too was slipping into unconsciousness.
He turned his back on Eve and the doctor as they went to retrieve their clothes, and reached into his jacket for his phone..

   ****

Nadine was shaking as she sat in Dr Collins's office.  She told herself her ordeal was over, she was safe now, the orderlies who abused her had all been arrested, they'd rolled on Dr Shaw, and with the evidence Dr Collins had found, she'd followed them into jail... but it didn't make any difference; Nadine would never feel safe in this building again.
Dr Collins had accepted her feelings.  "The truth is, after everything that happened, it wouldn't be ethical for me to continue as your doctor anyway.  I'll find another hospital to refer you to.  And I'll be very careful about checking it out first."
"Thankyou, Dr Collins.  For everything."
"I think you can call me Niella now."

"Thankyou Niella.  Sonny and Eve too.  I'm sorry you and she... I'm sorry."
"That's not on you."
"I'm still sorry," Nadine said.
Dr Collins, Niella, nodded and crossed round the desk; the two women hugged for a long while.
