Chapter 2: A prisoner's doctor?

I woke up and my head was so heavy...last night conversation flashed through my head...I cannot believe dad sometimes...i starts brushing my teeth and made a sandwich for dad...he always eats shitty food for breakfast from his cafeteria...

I packed and stopped a taxi and i gave him the address...I reached there and I handed dad the bag and as i was already running late.... I rushed outside the door

"EMILY....." dad called
"Yes dad"
"Im sorry about last night...I uh...i reconsidered what u said earlier...ur right baby they r humans they should get proper medical treatments...but Im sorry to tell u this...no doctor is ready to help criminals...we tried to increase their salary but still.." dad stopped seeing the disappointed look on my face

"Well...I guess the whole world is fucked up then" I smiled painfully

I got out and sat in the taxi...I looked outside the window resting my head on the glass...tears started developing in my eyes as I remembered the encounter of a robber I witnessed infront of me

Flash back:

"Dad i want that car" I cried glancing at the red toy car as dad dragged me to the car
"I will buy it for u hon but we have to go now" dad said peering here and there

"Sheriff.....sheriff do u copy" a voice came from his walkie talkie
"Yes i copy...where is he headed at...i repeat where is he headed at over...."
Dad shouted

"To the north of winterwall sir"
Dad paused hearing it

Dad pushed me inside the car and started the engine...I heard a gunshot...I immediately glanced at dad...
"Emily get down"
"Arrgghhhhhhhhhh" i heard a scream..

I peered outside the window to look at the man laying on the floor as the officer continuously shot him in the head...

I was so scared I couldn't move...his blood started spreading on the floor as a kid came running to him...
I got out of the car because I thought the officer will shoot the kid too
Dad placed his hand on my shoulder to stop me...

I stood there as the boy desperately tried to wake up the criminal...I saw his body twitch a little
Dad pulled out his gun and shot him again...the blood splattered all around the boys face as he stared at dad
I screamed so loud at the sound of gunshot and hid my ear with hands...
..the next thing i know I was being pulled away by dad and his officer...

Snaps back to present:

"Ma'am r u okay" The taxi driver said concerned
I was crying and sobbing and I didn't even realised it
"Yeah...yeah im good how much would that be?! " i asked him...I paid and closed the taxi door behind me...the driver kept staring at me from inside the car

I was greeted by my colleagues...as I entered the school building
"We r soon to be a doctor" liza said
"Yeah...after 5 years" I replied
"C'mon be positive" she demanded
"I am"

I started and completed all the work that was left and then Dr.Smith came....
"so students we've learned alot about medicines till now,its time to practise them...and by that I mean to cure people...i want u all to practise dressing,anaesthetise,inject...since we've taught u all of it..... there is nothing to worry about soo...I've talked to few hospitals and u will be getting patient with few injuries and an advisor...and then u will have to use proper methods to help them...so r u all ready" he smiled

An idea popped in my head...if I have to see patients now and....the prisoners r not getting any medications maybe I can help them...

"Sir!" I called
"Umm yes Emily...." he said turning around
"Sir can i choose some other place to see patients like...an old age home" ofcrs i was not going to tell him about the prison he will freak out
"Yes Emily that is an awesome idea..there will be a guide with u and he will tell u everything"
"Ok sir thanku so much"
Now i just have to convince dad

"NO WAY ON EARTH IM LETTING U GET INTO CELL OF CRIMINALS" dad shouted dramatically
"Dad u never let me do anything on my own im 18 years old now i can make my own decisions"
"Don't pull that with me okay u r stubborn and i accept that.....sometimes... but this...this is stupidity im not letting this happens" he says slamming some files on the table

"Dad look at me" i said sitting down
"Dad....there r gonna be bodyguards with me...and I will just give them medicines and leave im not gonna sit around all day with them"
"They will snap your neck in a second and wouldn't even care darling...why do u care so much about them" he said cupping my face clearly underestimating me

"Dad they won't if the bodyguards will be there and ill be able to practise....it is part of the project.....i will be fine i promise"
Dad signed and kept looking at me....

"Idk about this em"
" dad please just let me do it" I said holding his hands
"I need this opportunity dad....this is what I wanted to do for all my life...i wanted to serve people and help them in every way possible" I uttered
"But Em-" he stutters
"I won't take no for an answer this time" I snapped..

"Ughhh.....i uh- okayyy"
"Yayyy dad thanku i love u so much...thanku thanku thanku....see u tomorrow bye i love u"

I ran outside the door and jumped in my car...something about helping people excites me...its like bringing hope into this world...it makes me feel beautiful..this is what mom wanted.....
