"Fuck you Xation! Your sister is insane and I want her arrested!" Lexa shouted down at Xation as he sat in the living room rocking chair, trying his best to bite his tongue and not give Lexa the satisfaction of giving into her anger and rage by speaking. "Bengiman! Why won't let me call the police?"
Bengiman strode over to Lexa and he embraced her tightly whispering down in her ear in a calm, forceful tone, telling Lexa, as she stood with her arms pinned to her side, Bengiman said "I know how upset you are right now Lexa, but I need you to calm down for five minutes, so I can clear the students and instructors out of the house and Xation's pilot and co-pilot, I can not let them hear what you are about to say." then he gave her a little tight squeeze adding "I can not let that happen, I will not let that happen, and I can not let that happen." Bengiman let out a hot breath on her neck and said "Now be a good lass, and sit your ass down and behave, or you'll have me to answer to."
Bengiman released the angry, now silent woman, from his python-like grip and she, indeed, went and sat down opposite Xation on the settee. Bengiman did as he said, going up upstairs making the 4 riding students, 2 instructors, and the 2 aviators leave, ushering them all out of the gate house, post haste, as not to allow for any stories, or gossip, to spread about Xation and his multi-dysfunctional family. When Bengiman returned, quietly closing the front door to the gate house, Lexa stood up pacing back and forth, starting back into her tirade. "If you think I am going to let Felina get away with this, you obviously do not know who you are dealing with!" Xation sat there rocking slowly, nervously waiting, thinking about Leah, he could care less about the words Lexa was presently spewing forth out of her mouth, but spew forth her words came like poison from a viper's fangs. Neither Bengiman, nor Xation, could blame her for the hateful, litigious, things she said, however, when Lexa realized she was being ignored; which is the worse thing a man can do to the female of the species, then her rant change to a threat of violence, when she said "I tell you what I will do!" Lexa shouted, her face and chest bright red with the flush of blood and indignation "Maybe, Xation, I can get your attention.., if I march right back into that house, and run up those steps, and toss Felina down the stairs on her head, and see how she likes it!" Lexa fumed with furious anger.
Here Lexa made a move towards the foyer and Bengiman went to restrain her, but he was interrupted on his course when Charles came down the hall, out of the examination room, with a pissed off look on his face and he said harshly, directing his comment to Lexa "Hey!" he glared over at her "Keep it down out here for God's sake! I have a woman in distress in there and I don't need her further upset by all this yelling!"
Lexa ran over to Charles throwing her arms around his neck weeping openly, speaking through sobs, saying "Oh they won't let me call the police! Felina needs to go to jail for what she has done."
"There, there sweetheart, come sit down her beside me." Charles, realizing Lexa did not understand how things work in this family, changed his tone of voice and spoke to her now with a comfort and deep calmness, as if he were speaking to child, Charles sat with Lexa on the settee holding her hands while Xation stopped his nervous rocking waiting to hear word about his beloved American angel. "Lexa, you must understand, first off, this is not America, we do things differently here."
Lexa felt her stomach turn as she gave a mortified look of confusion, as she realized even Charles her lover would not help her seek the judicial power of the local authorities. "We..?" she said confused "I thought you were an American like me?"
Charles only shook his head and said "Not anymore." then he reached out and touched her cheek trying to be loving and kind with his presence and manner of speech. "But that doesn't matter anymore." Charles said with a sigh. "Our poor Felina has not been well, for a very long time." Charles confided to a tearful, distraught Lexa. Xation and Bengiman gave Charles a sever look, but Charles was there now in the capacity as Xation's hired physician so he said to Xation openly "I will speak to Felina's psychiatrist, and try to get her to go and check in with him. I think she needs to up her dose of Remeron, or switch to something stronger.{Remeron is a powerful anti-psychotic medication, used to treat extreme depression}
"Let me get this straight. Felina has done this before?" Lexa asked but neither Charles, Bengiman, nor Xation would look at her and so she cried out "My Christ! Has she ever killed anyone?" Lexa gasped imagining the worst.
Then came her answer, as all three of them, Xation, Bengiman, Charles said in unison, with the name and face of Humberto embedded in their brain, they all said softly "It was, an accident."
"God damn..! I think I am going to be sick!" Lexa said as a harsh wave of uncertain, foreign danger, swept through her bloodstream like tidal wave, then she glared over at Xation screaming, enraged "You son of a prick! You brought my sister and me here, Charles warned me how jealous Felina was of all your girlfriends, but I can not believe you exposed her to this danger!" Lexa said, not realizing just how much Felina hated her as well. "Right! Fuck this! Charles how is she? Because you need to fire up that fucking jet, Xation! And fly me and my injured sister HOME!"
"Doctor! Tell me now all of it! Tell me! Is Leah going to be okay?" Xation implored finally opening up his mouth shouting down Lexa, whose hatred and disdain he could do without.
"Leah, is in stable condition. She snapped her right ankle and broke her left wrist in 2 places." Dr. Le Mesa sighed then added "Now, how she did not end up with a broken neck, is beyond me.., and please, do not think I am exaggerating, when I say, we came extremely close to calling a coroner out to the property today." Xation, Lexa and Bengiman let this soak into their hearts and minds with this realization, and a silence overcame them. Then Charles said, looking at Xation and Bengiman, telling them in no uncertain terms "I do not know, or care, if you believe in God or Miracles, but God damn it, somebody should thank him!" Silence "Now, unfortunately I was unable to perform any x-rays on her, and had to set the bones with great care, her casts will be dry soon. I will provide her with a wheel chair to use"
"Why did you not take any x-rays Charles? Is the machine broken? I paid a lot of money to have it installed here." Xation inquired.
"Oh no, Xation.., the machine is fine." Charles smiled about to break the news to Xation and the rest gathered together in the room.
"Well..?" Xation asked as Lexa and Bengiman stared waiting for Charles to reply.
"No, it would be medically unethical to expose a pregnant woman to radiation."
This time it was Lexa, Xation and Bengiman who all spoke at once in unison, saying "WHAT?"
Bengiman strode over to Lexa and he embraced her tightly whispering down in her ear in a calm, forceful tone, telling Lexa, as she stood with her arms pinned to her side, Bengiman said "I know how upset you are right now Lexa, but I need you to calm down for five minutes, so I can clear the students and instructors out of the house and Xation's pilot and co-pilot, I can not let them hear what you are about to say." then he gave her a little tight squeeze adding "I can not let that happen, I will not let that happen, and I can not let that happen."
