Chapter Five: 

Steps Taken

Part Two

Aoi Sora's family had been gathered by the chief medical staff of the hospital within the main foyer to discuss the circumstances of the events that had just occurred due to Nakashi Ayame's actions over the past week.  It was obvious that these people wished to not have the current details to leak out to the public, the media, or to the internet due to the harm that it would do their personal interests and those underneath them.  They had completed their introductions and discussions as the Internal Medical Investigation agents had entered into the foyer.  They were flanked by four members of the hospital's security department.

None of these new people introduced themselves as they bowed in unison and prepared their files and notepads before them.  It was the same with synchronization that they sat and nodded to the other hospital staff to take their perspective places around the room.  The gathered members of the Aoi family had become nervous by their actions.  It was the woman in the center of the long couch that spoke up.  "We apologize for the actions of Nakashi Ayame, but we had not known about this part of this side of her personality.  However, we should have noticed the possible problem due to her psychological examinations and her hobbies.  She had it well from her husband and friends as well.  It is only by looking at how fashionable and expensive is their clothing is that it may have been possible to comprehend the problem, but I am sure that these things do not always indicate a serious issue."

Aoi Nami was the first of the family to respond to the darkly tanned woman's explanation.  It was easy to know how pissed off that she was at this moment and at what had happened to her brother.  There should not have ever been any reason why these events should have happened, especially in Sora's weakened state.  "IT shouldn't have happened in the first place.  And there should never have been the chance that it could have.  Why don't you have your nursing staff perform their routing rounds in pairs?  Or you should have some other means to prevent this.  How can you make sure that this won't happen again?"

It was not the lead investigator that had replied to Nami's angry words, but it was her older sister that replied with her knowledge on the subject of these routine rounds.  "At most smaller hospitals that are similar to this one, they do not have enough certified nurses to have two of them doing their rounds.  And they are mundane enough that larger hospitals prefer to keep it at a single staff member doing it as well."

Aoi Aki had never considered the idea that her younger sister had stated.  It had been something that had never been explained to her during any of her classes.  So, she just tossed her hair back as she got embarrassed at this.  Though, it was the hospital's director spoke up.  "I am glad that other medical schools have taught that point.  The fact that we cannot enact the final idea is due to fact that there is never enough male nurses.  It has, always, been the fact that most of the men that enter into the medical field see nurses as strictly a 'woman's job'and steer clear of it."

It was at those last words that most of the gathered women began to yell, but it was the chief of the hospital's the Internal Medical Investigation department whistled and gained everyone's attention. "We understand that it sounds masochistic, chauvinistic, and sexist.  However, it is more likely that they are just continuing to be perverted bastards.  It has been this way ever since the beginning of recorded history and is never likely to be any different in the foreseeable future."

Aoi Haru reached up and pulled her older sister, Nami, down close to her.  She was becoming more concerned for her older brother's health and safety.  "We can understand this point and that it is incapable of being done with every patient.  Is it possible to do so for our brother while he is still in your care?"

"Of course, we can and we have begun to do so.  There have been several procedures enacted to see to all of this.  Such as a twenty-four hour security guard post inside and outside of his room.  It is made up of four of our best people.  He will , also, have two bodyguards with him when he is outside of his room.  A final step, at this moment, will be that everyone that is to be around him will need to have their credentials checked out.  It will only be after he has been dismissed from us that the police will take over his safety.  And we are, truly, hoping that nurse Nakashi is still behind bars at this time and is receiving her retribution."

After these and other primary concerns were handled, most of the Aoi family was allowed to leave except for Aoi Aki.  Satsuke Runa and Mihara Miharu were asked to enter as well.  The three were told that they were to be interviewed with just the hospital's the Internal Medical Investigation agents and a number of its security people with them.
