Chapter Eleven

At the Hospital:

When Roland parked the Hummer in the parking garage, Paul said, “I want you to wait outside, when I've got him hypnotized, then you can come in.”

Just before they went into the hospital, Roland called Dr. Hunter and told him, “Paul and I are here at the hospital, will you meet us outside Joseph's room, and we’ll all go in together.”

Craig told him, “I'll be there, and Roland I hope no pray that Dr. Osborn knows what he's doing, I won't let anything happen to my patient.” Roland then said, “I understand.” Then he turned off his cell phone and they walked into the hospital and went over to the elevators, they went up to the fourth floor, there they found Dr. Hunter waiting for them.

Joseph was watching some show on the television, waiting for someone to come fix the phones; he needed to call his father. The door opened and in walked Dr. Hunter, Roland and some other man, Joseph hoped that he was the one who came to fix the phone.

Dr. Hunter started to say something, but Joseph interrupted him and said, “Is that the guy who came to fix the damn phones, I still have to contact my dad.”

Paul walked over to the bed, he held out his hand and said in a very soft, non-threatening voice, “My name is Paul, are you Joseph?”

For some reason this man made Joey feel very relaxed, he forgot all about calling his dad, Joey said, “Yes, my name is Joseph.”

Then Paul said, “I want you to listen to my voice, I want you to count back from twenty to one, when you get to one you'll be completely relaxed, I'm going to ask you a few questions.

If you feel threatened by any of them is there a panic word that you can say so that I'll know to stop.” Joseph said, “Rene, that's my sister’s name.”

(Roland was there to video tape the session, so that when Paul need to, he could show Joseph what was on the tape.)

Joey started counting, 20, 19, 18 and so forth. When he got to one, he was completely hypnotized, and then Paul said, “Joseph tell me about your childhood, was it a happy childhood?”

All of a sudden, Joseph started laughing and he said, “Hell no, my childhood was a living hell.” Paul then asked, “Tell me why it was hell.”

Joseph said, “My parents divorced when I was ten and my sister was five, then my mom took my sister and they moved to America, leaving me here in Domino to live with my dad, who took his anger out on me for my mom leaving us.”

Paul then said, “Did your father yell at you?” Joey said, “Hell yes, it was either you stupid idiot, you're so stupid that you'll never be anything. To why in the hell didn't you die at birth, if you had then my wife would still be here with me.”

Paul then asked, “Is that all your father ever did was yell at you?” Joseph started getting agitated, then he said, “Hell no, he'd hit me with his fist, or kick me with his shoe. One time he hit me so hard that I hit the wall and it nearly knocked me out.”

Then all of a sudden, Joseph yelled out “Rene.” Paul then said, “Joseph when I snap my fingers you'll wake up, and you won't remember any of what just happened.”

(Roland took the video camera and left the room.)

He snapped his fingers and Joey blinked and looked around the room, then he asked, “Did you get the phone fixed?”

Paul said, “Not yet, I have to go get a special piece, I'll be back with it tomorrow.” Dr. Hunter said, “I'll be back to see how you are later.” When they left the room, Craig asked Paul, “Why did you tell him that he wouldn't remember?”

Paul then said, “We're not done yet, I've just begun to touch the surface of what really happened to him at the hands of his father, so until then I don't want Joseph to start having nightmares that just might send him over the edge, he won't remember anything about what happened here today.”

At the Manor:

Then Paul and Roland left the hospital and Roland drove them to the Manor, when they walked inside, Paul asked him, “Is Greta still mad at me?” Roland laughed and said, “What do you think?”

Just then, Seto and Mokie came downstairs and when Seto saw Paul, he smiled and walked over, held out his hand and said, “Are you here to help Joey?”

Roland said, “Yes, now how about if you and your brother to out to the Hummer, get Paul's things and take them up to the guest room.”

Seto and Mokie both went outside to do as Roland asked. Paul then said, “Has he had any bad dreams since I was here last?”

Roland said, “No, but he does remember and I think that he always will, Mokie also knows, you see Seto and Mokie are very close, and when you were here last, Mokie felt that something was wrong and when he asked Seto, well Seto told him the truth.”

Paul then said, “Seto's a very lucky young man, he has his loving family to help him, Joseph is going to be another matter, he doesn't have anyone really, so it's going to be harder on him.”

Roland then said, “When he's ready to be released, Joseph is going to be coming here to live, so you see we're going to be his family the ones who will help him get through this.”

Just then Seto and Mokie came in with Paul's things, then Roland said, “Follow us, we'll show you where you'll be sleeping while you're here with us.”

Paul followed them upstairs and like the last time, he was in the same room. Paul thanked them, and when they left, he put his things away, and then he viewed the tape again.

He knew that tomorrow would be the turning point in that young man's life; he just hoped that Joseph would be strong enough to survive what he was going to be finding out about his dad.


Roland walked to the kitchen and as he sat down at the table, Greta gave him a cup of coffee and said, “How'd it go today?”

Then from the doorway, they heard, “It went as well as I expected it to, but what scares the hell out of me, is tomorrow. I don't have any idea what's going to happen.”

Even if she didn't like him, Greta did have a great deal of respect for what he does, she then said, “Sit down, I'll get you a cup of coffee.”


At the Hospital:


That evening after Joey had dinner, he turned off the light and closed his eyes, for some reason he was extremely tired, as he started to fall asleep, Joey started having these weird dreams, in the dreams someone was trying to hurt him, but he couldn't see who the person was. Joey jerked awake, he sat up, he was drenched with sweat and his heart was pounding as if it was about to burst.

Joey pushed the Nurses light, and Shelly came to see what he wanted, when she came into the room, she turned on the light and when she saw how agitated Joseph was, she said, “Joseph, I want you to take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Now can you tell me what caused you to get so upset?”

Joseph said, “I guess I had a nightmare, there was someone trying to hurt me, but I never saw who it was.” Shelly then said, “I'm going to call Dr. Hunter and see if I can give you something that will help you get some sleep.”

When she left his room, she went back to the Nurses Station and called Dr. Hunter, she told him, “Joseph had a nightmare, he's really upset.” Craig then said, “Give him a light sedative, it'll not only make him relax, it'll also let him get some sleep, and Shelly please keep an eye on him, if he gets worse call me right away.”

At the Manor:

Craig then called the Manor; Roland was just getting ready to go to his room, when the phone rang, Roland said, “Can I help you?”

Craig then told him, “What in the hell did Paul do to Joseph, his nurse contacted me and said, that he had had a nightmare, I ordered her to give him a mild sedative to help him sleep, I thought that he wasn't suppose to remember anything that happened in there today.”

Roland then said, “I'll let Paul know what happened, we'll be there first thing in the morning, and Craig thanks for calling.”
