I laughed again as I hugged her before following her to where the car was parked and climbing into the door she had opened for me. I couldn’t believe we had managed to give them all the slip. It did leave one question though.

“Babe what are we going to do now we are fugitives from our own family?”

“Well we are going to go and buy me some clothes so I don’t look like I escaped from the asylum. Then we will phone Al to let her know we stole her car. Then we will phone the other with our terms and conditions for what is going to happen over the next few days to ensure we return. Then I though a picnic on the beach would go down a treat.”

I smiled and held her hand as we headed of to take care of the first job on the list.

“What do you mean no one under that name has been brought in? We watched the medics load her into an ambulance and listened as they told us she would be brought here.”

I was trying to be calm but this doctor was the third person I had had this conversation with in ten minutes and my reserves of patience were at an all time low.

“As I told you Ma’am we have a record of the call out but the report states that all treatment was dealt with at the scene and no patient was transported to the hospital. Your friend is not, nor has she ever been here, you are barking up the wrong tree.”

I had had enough and I turned and stormed back to tell the others that I had been told the same thing again. As I entered the waiting room my phone rang. Everyone looked on as I checked the caller ID.

“ANDY WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU? YOU BETTER BE DEAD OR I AM GOING TO KILL YOU WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU.”

“Now Bette we have called to talk if you can’t calm down then we will just call later. Just know we are ok. Now give the phone to Tina please.”
