Beat to Their Heart by Whiskey Starr Read Free Book Online

sorry, man. My head has been in the damn clouds lately. I don’t even know the last time I wrote anything. I guess money and fame changes us all, huh? And when the hell did you get to be the smart one, Joey. What happened to answering everything with grunts and growls? I think I prefer you that way.” Mickey opened his arms and hugged him, hitting him on the back.
    “So we fire Marty. Good, that might help with the press as it seems someone leaked Booker’s OD and they have reporters at the front entrance,” Hunter stated as he handed both of them another cup of crappy hospital coffee.
    “Alright, so how the hell do we get out of the hospital now?” Mickey asked, looking out the window. Joey couldn’t help but smile.
    “I know someone who could help us.” Oh yes, he had a great plan.
     

Chapter Six
     
    “You have got to be kidding me.” Sky looked at the three band members who were currently standing in front of the nurse’s station in the ER.
    “Come on, Sky. I know you can help us out.”
    “I don’t get off for another hour. And I have to go right home.” Sky bit her lip in frustration. She wanted to help, but she just couldn’t. She had to get home to get Milo off to school or he would get worried.
    “Please, Sky. I don’t know who else to ask. We are desperate.” Joey was now holding her hand.
    “Come on, man, she doesn’t want to help, let's go see if we can figure this out another way,” the guy behind Joey stated. She knew this was Mickey Turner, the lead singer and guitarist.
    “Just chill out, man. Come on, Sky. Is there someone who can cover you?” Looking at the clock she did see that two other nurses were coming in. She could come in early tonight and finish the small things. Her charts were all done, and this was a slow time.
    “Fine, I can get you out of here. But you have to follow my lead, got it. I need you to wait in here while I make sure everything is squared away. And I hope you guys don’t mind sitting next to each other, I have a compact car, but it won’t draw attention.” They all looked relieved and followed her instructions. Walking over to Casey, who was not working at the second, she explained she needed to leave early, giving the excuse she had a migraine coming on and just didn’t feel good. Since she had never missed a day of work unless Milo was really sick, people bought it. Running into the locker room she quickly grabbed her purse and keys before heading to the room where the guys were.
    “Okay, follow me. I’m parked in staff parking in the garage across the street. We can take a different route with no windows.” She walked as all three men followed behind her whispering what they were going to do, and whose house they would go. Heading toward the morgue she knew this side of the building was only used by staff and made easy access to the other parking garage that was underground. She pushed the door open and looked around. There was no one, walking quickly she pulled her keys out and unlocked the door. As she opened the back door, she forgot about the booster seat for Milo. Offering an apologetic smile she quickly unhooked it and set the seat in the trunk. The men climbed in and she suddenly realized how small her car really was.
    “Okay, where are we going?” She pulled out of the parking lot, taking the back exit and grateful to have worked at the hospital long enough to know areas most didn’t think about.
    “Jump on the freeway and we’ll guide you to Mickey’s house,” Joey said. He had jumped in the passenger seat, while Mickey and Hunter sat in back.
    “So, umm, you have a kid?” Hunter asked while he picked up a Transformer toy that Milo had left in the backseat. Damn, she needed to seriously clean her car.
    “Yes, Milo. He’ll be seven next month.” She smiled as she drove.
    “And he likes Transformers. Sounds like a cool kid. Does he go to school around here?” Hunter seemed to be really interested in the toys and her personal
