Chapter 20 [In Poland]

"Get your hands off me!" the Man in the Hat snapped at the nurses who were trying to get his blood pressure and feed him some medicine."I'm perfectly healthy! See? I can see straight, I can walk, I can talk! I shouldn't even be here! I got better things to do!"

One of the nurses at the St.Vincent Hospital, whispered something to the other nurse.

"I head that! I am NOT hysterical!"

Tessa who'd been watching the little scene snorted clearly amused & couldn't resist a laugh. "Uh... I didn't know taht the Man in the Hat was afraid of some lil needle."
"This is not funny Tessa. God knows where that needle was before--"
"Finished." the nurse said, smiling and winked at Tessa,"Thanks for keeping him distracted, Mrs. Schaefer."
The Man in the Hat groaned and was about to rub the place where seh had pricked him. Immediately the nurse flicked away his hand."But SIR!"

A few minutes later Tessa and the Man in the Hat exited the Hospital.
"I hate hospitals," he mumbled flagging down a taxi. Tessa just grinned to herself keeping her sarcastic reply to herself.
"Where to?"the taxi driver asked.
"Take us to the Forum Hotel Warsaw"the Man in the Hat said in perfect polish, earning an impressed look from Tessa."Okay okay... I learned when I was in the Army, my roomate was Polish. And wipe that stupid grin off yer face."

Punctually the long black and elegant limousine pulled up in front of the Kwong-Ringse Hospital. The chauffeur opened the door for the lady and the nurse helped her inside with the crutches. Without thanking her, Deirdre resolutel y shut the door in her face and ordered the driver to get going.

"Ohhhhh..."groaning James, touched his head. He had a terrible headache... "Shit!"
He groped in the dark trying to make out where he was. His hands touched cold cement beneath him, it smelled of rotten vegetables and old shoes. Slowly as his eyes adjusted to the dimness he could make out that he was in some sort of cellar, a place where they stored the food."Sheesh! At least I won't starve." he mumbled to himself. This mission had gone out of hand the very minute it had started. He should've not listened to that mindless bitch's commands and taken things into his own hands. What did "Women" know anyway?!

He sat down on a sack of potatoes, pondering what to do next.
Where the heck, was the Fiddler?

"Hotel Forum polozony w samym centrum miasta, gdzie znajduja sie najwazniejsze urzedy i centrum handlowe." the taxi driver was babbling.
Tessa gave her companion a curious look.
"He said:Hotel Forum is located in the heart of the city, close to main business and entertainment areas" the Man in the Hat said as the cab halted infron of the hotel."He even suggested we go out and visit one of those nightclubs down the street. Hah! Fatso here, probably thinks we are honeymooners."he handed the man some bills and helped Tessa out of the car.
"Thank you Mister! See you again next time!" the taxidriver shouted in perfect english and drove off.
