“Now that we’re all here, why don’t we get started,” Adrestia said. We all sat down and put our tea on the coffee table in the middle of the room. “Danni, I’m glad you could join us tonight. I understand you and Eli visited Judge Stone. What can you tell us?”
“I have a follow-up meeting set for tomorrow, online,” Danni said. “He’s gone through the videos you gave us, and he’s pretty disgusted with what he saw. Unfortunately, none of them are admissible in court, which we already knew. But, he thinks there may be enough there that, if presented properly, could be seen as probable cause.
“I also made some discreet inquiries with the medical board, to see if there was something we could do along those lines. Unfortunately, I was informed nothing could be done for at least 45 days. Possibly 60 days. It seems they have a backlog of cases they’re working through, and they just don’t have the manpower,” Danni added.
“And in 45 to 60 days, Edwin Skitz will be out of the country, his practice closed down,” Cameron said. “And his victims… disposed of.”
“Closed down?” Grandpa asked.
“Yes,” Cameron said. “Ginger, Bill and I went through his brain feed. I tell ya, if you looked up ‘Asshole’ in the dictionary, you’d probably see this guy’s face. A real piece of work. It seems that a number of insurance companies are starting to question his choice of treatments and medications. He’s been thinking about closing the place down and retiring with his harem for a while. He’s ramped things up a bit since we pulled James out of there.”
“Harem?” Danni asked.
“Yes, he has several women he keeps,” Cameron said. “Most of them married. He gets off on humiliating and cuckolding their husbands while they’re trapped in bed, unable to do anything. He especially enjoys urinating on the poor trapped husbands after he has sex with their wives.” Adrestia nodded her head at that bit of information.
“What do you mean, ‘keeps?'” Danni asked.
“He has what you could call a ‘stable’ of sorts,” Cameron said. “He keeps a few women for himself, like Eastland’s wife, Tina. Then he farms them out to some of his friends for a while. Most of them end up making porn movies for almost nothing, while the rest end up on the streets. Almost all of them end up sold. Skitz doesn’t really care what happens to them. He uses them, sells them and then moves on to the next batch of victims.”
“And no one does anything?” I asked.
“No,” Cameron says. “Skitz has a lot of friends in powerful places. And they cover for him. Mostly out of fear of what he might do to them. You might be interested to know, Danni, that some of them are on the state medical board.”
“Well, that explains the lengthy delay,” Danni said. “What about Judge Alfred Stone? Is he one of Dr. Skitz’s friends?”
“He’s donated to Skitz’s charitable foundation, but so has most of the country club class in this area,” Cameron said. “There’s nothing to indicate any deeper ties. Thing is, Skitz is a real asshole, but he’s a damn good doctor.”
“I see,” Danni said. “So, what does Skitz plan to do with his patients when he closes shop?”
“The actual patients — the legitimate ones — will get transferred to other facilities,” Cameron said. “He has other plans for the men he has trapped there.”
“Other plans?” Grandpa asked.
“He intends to kill them and cremate their bodies,” Cameron said.
“And his staff?” Adrestia asked.
“He plans to give the legitimate staffers a good severance package and a recommendation,” Cameron said. “The ones who work in his ‘special’ ward won’t be treated so well. It would appear they know too much about what he’s been doing.”
“I’m surprised none of them have spoken out before now,” I said.
“You have to understand that he has complete control over everything in that place,” Cameron said. “And everyone. His control is so complete that he can order them to suck him off and they’ll do it. On the spot. I’ve seen him do exactly that several times in his brain feed.”
“How does he intend to deal with those staffers?” Danni asked.
“He’s already started. From what I gathered in his brain feed, he’s been slowly poisoning them for the last few weeks,” Cameron said. “Putting compounds in their coffee and office water coolers. So far, none of them have caught on. Once he’s dealt with the ‘patients,’ he’ll finish the staffers off. Worse yet, they’ll happily drink his brand of kool-aid.”
“When does Skitz plan to do all this?” Max asked.
“I’d say a week. Perhaps sooner,” Cameron said.
“Then we need to move, and fast,” Adrestia said quietly. “Thank you, Cameron. You’ve done excellent work, as always.”
“You’re welcome,” Cameron said.
“Do you happen to know where Skitz spends his time when he’s not at the clinic?” Adrestia asked.
“Yes,” Cameron said. “Most of the time, he’s at his compound east of town. It’s in a remote location. That’s where he keeps his ‘harem’ and does most of his planning.”
“Security?” Eli asked.
“Fifteen guards at his compound. Four at his clinic,” Cameron said. “Two of those are out of commission now.”
“Yes, we saw the report earlier,” Max said with a smile.
“Here’s what we’ll do, then,” Adrestia said. “Normally, Eli and I would handle this ourselves, but as the saying goes, many hands make for light work. I’ll take care of the other patients. I can get in and out of that clinic without anyone knowing. I’ll just have to do it quick.”
“Will you be bringing them back here?” Max asked.
“Yes, temporarily,” Adrestia said. “Eli, I’d like you to take Skitz and Mrs. Eastland into custody. Bring them to my courtroom if you would, please.”
