Chapter 7
/Newark, New Jersey/
Catherine dropped Nick off at the hospital to talk to Andrea and then went back to the hotel to see Jim and Peter. Catherine parked her SUV and made her way upstairs to the room. She carefully opened the door not knowing what to expect. Jim may have forgiven Peter but Catherine was still skeptical about him. She didn't trust him as far as she could throw him.
Catherine walked into the room and saw Jim and Peter sitting there talking. Jim saw her come in and walked over to her. "Hey, you okay?" he asked wrapping his arms around Catherine.
"I'm okay. I dropped Nick off at the hospital. He wanted to talk to Andrea." Catherine said leaning her head against Jim's shoulder.
"About what?" Peter asked, looking at his brother and Catherine.
Catherine looked at Peter. "He wanted to make sure Andrea was okay and warn her about everything that happened."
"Yeah, that sounds like Nick." Jim said. "I just hope he watches his back."
-------------------------
Nick made his way into the hospital and searched for Andrea. He took the elevator up to the third floor and walked down to the nurses station. There was a nurse sitting behind the desk. "Can I help you, sir?" she asked.
"I'm looking for Dr. Andrea Brass." Nick answered.
"She's making her rounds right now. If you'd like to wait, she'll be back shortly."
"Thanks. I will." Nick said and took a seat by the nurses desk.
A half hour later Andrea showed up and saw Nick sitting there. "Hey, Nick. You wanna tell me why Jimmy signed himself out?"
Nick stood up. "Can we talk somewhere private?" Nick asked.
"Okay. Let's go to my office."
As Nick and Andrea made their way down the hall to her office they had to pass the waiting room. Tony and his crew were still sitting there waiting for news about Nicole. Paulie looked up and recognized Nick. He jumped up from his seat and turned around to look at Tony. "Hey T. that guy that just walked by." Paulie said.
"Yeah, what about him?" Tony asked.
"He was in the Barrens when Nic was shot. I bet he knows where Pete is."
Ralphie jumped up. "Let's go get him."
"Not right now. Let's wait until we have a better shot at grabbing him. And while we're at it we can grab Pete's sister for collateral." Tony said.
As Tony said that line an alarm sounded and a nurse annouced a code blue over the intercom. Andrea heard it and turned to Nick. "We'll talk later, I have to take care of this."
"Okay, later." Nick said.
Andrea ran past the waiting room and noticed the Soprano crew waiting there. Ralphie watched her run down the hall and disappear into Nicole's room. After Ralphie saw this he ran down the hall after Andrea to see what was going on. After Ralphie disappeared Tony turned to Paulie and Christopher. "Now that we have a diversion go grab that prick."
"What about Pete's sister?" Paulie asked.
"Forget about her. We'll deal with him for now." Tony said.
"No problem T., we'll handle it." Christopher replied.
Paulie and Christopher saw Nick about to walk off down the hall and caught up with him. Paulie placed an arm around Nick's shoulder's. "Hey, pal, let's take a walk."
Christopher put a gun into Nick's back. Nick looked back at Christopher. "Just do what he fucking says, alright?"
They walked Nick down the hallway and to a nearby elevator. Once the car arrived they all got on and made their way down to the parking garage. Paulie got into the driver's seat and Christopher put Nick into the backseat at gunpoint. "Hey guys what's going on here?" Nick asked.
"Shut the fuck up!" Paulie said from the driver's seat. "You'll find out soon enough."
-------------------------
Andrea ran into the room and noticed Nicole had flatlined. "Inject adrenaline into her IV line." Andrea ordered.
"Yes, Doctor." the nurse replied and injected the IV line.
Ralphie had made his way into the room and was watching them working on her. Andrea looked back and saw him standing there. "Ralph, get the hell out of here!" she yelled.
Ralphie looked at her. "I'm not going anywhere until I know she's okay."
"Look, you staying here is only spreading germs. I'll talk to you when we have her stabalized. Now get out of here!"
Ralphie was about to speak but took one look at Andrea's expression and backed out of the room. The adrenaline that the nurse injected was doing it's job and her heart rate returned to normal. When everything was settled and Nicole was out of danger she finally started breathing on her own. When Andrea felt confident enough she had the tube removed from Nicole's throat.
She walked back out to the waiting room and saw Ralphie and Tony waiting there. Ralphie stood up when he saw her. "Is Nicole okay?" he asked.
"She's fine. She's breathing on her own now so I removed the tube from her throat. You can see her in a few hours."
"Thank you."
Tony placed a hand on Ralphie's shoulder. "Listen, I got something to take care of. You call me if anything happens."
"I will, Tony, thanks for everything."
Tony and Ralphie hugged and Tony left the hospital.
-------------------------
Back at the hotel Catherine, Jim and Peter were still talking. "Look, Jimmy, if Nick learned anything from you it's to always cover his ass." Catherine said.
"Yeah, I just hope he listens." Jim replied. "But I'm gonna call Andrea to see if everthing's okay."
Jim walked over to the phone and dialed Andrea's office. She picked up on the third ring. "Hello?"
"Andrea? It's Jim. Is Nick there with you?"
"No, Jim. He came by and wanted to talk to me but I had to take care of a patient. I thought he would stick around but he must be on his way back to the hotel."
"Okay, thanks. I'll talk to you later." Jim hung up the phone and looked at Catherine and Peter. "Andrea said he left. He's probably on his way back here."
"You better hope so." Peter said. "The last thing you want is the Soprano crew to grab him."
-------------------------
Paulie pulled the car into the garage and parked it. Christopher pulled Nick out and pulled him into a back room. They tied Nick to chair just as Tony walked into the room. He walked up to Nick and looked him right in the eye. "Where the fuck is Peter Brass?"
"Who?" Nick asked.
Paulie walked over to Nick and punched him in the face. "Don't fuck with us. I saw you at the Barrens. You were there with that red head that's in town with Pete's brother."
"I don't what you're talking about. I was at the hospital visiting my girlfriend when you two grabbed me." Nick said.
Tony looked from Nick to Paulie and Christopher and then back to Nick. "You telling me you're dating Andrea Brass?" Tony asked.
"Yeah. For the last few months now."
Tony looked back at Paulie. "I swear T. he was at the Barrens with that red head."
Tony looked back to Nick. Nick looked at Tony. "I've never even heard of the Barrens. I've never been there in my life."
"You stupid fuck!" Paulie yelled and started wailing on Nick. He punched him over and over again until the chair fell over and he started kicking him.
Finally Tony stopped him. "Paulie. Fucking stop. We'll verify this information with Andrea and if he's lying, I'll let you finish him."
Nick was gasping for a breath from the floor but her heard what Tony had said and prayed that Andrea would realize what was going on and would cover his tracks.
-------------------------
About an hour and a half later Andrea let Ralphie in to see Nicole. He walked into the room and walked over to the side of the bed. She was a little drowsy but awake. Ralphie sat down by the bed and took her hand. "Hey. You scared the shit out of me." Ralphie said.
"You think you were scared. I saw the white light." Nicole joked.
"That's not funny. I thought I was going to lose you."
"Never. I'm a Soprano. It takes more than a bullet to stop us. But I just want you to know, even though Pete didn't mean to shoot me, he should pay for it."
"I know, baby, and he will. Don't worry about it." Ralphie said trying to ease her mind. "I don't know where he is right now but I'll find him."
"Let the crew handle it, Ralphie, I want you to stay with me."
"I'd really feel a lot better if I took care of it myself."
"No, they can handle it. Promise me you won't leave me."
Ralphie hesitated for a moment and then looked into Nicole's eyes. "Okay, babe, I promise I'll stay here with you."
-------------------------
Back at the hotel Jim, Catherine and Peter were still waiting for Nick. It had been an hour since Jim talked to Andrea and it took less time than that to get back to the hotel. "Maybe he stopped off somewhere." Jim said.
"Jim, face it, something bad happened." Peter replied.
Catherine looked from Peter to Jim. "Okay, come on we have to think positive here. I'm sure Nick's okay." she said. "Let's give him another hour and then if he's not back then we'll have something to worry about."
"Catherine's right. Let's just give him some more time." Jim stated.
Peter shook his head. "I'm telling you they got him. I can feel it."
-------------------------
Nick was back in a sitting position but still tied to the chair. He could definately feel a few ribs broken, not to mention his nose. All he could think about was: How the fuck did they get into this situation?
Tony opened his cell phone and dialed the Newark Beth Israel Medical Center to talk to Andrea. On the fouth ring a woman answered. "Beth Israel how can help you?" she asked.
"I need to talk to Dr. Andrea Brass." Tony replied.
"One moment please."
Tony was patched through to Andrea's office. She picked up on the second ring. "Hello?" she said.
"Dr. Brass?"
"Yes."
"This is Tony Soprano. I need to know something."
"I'll help you if I can."
Tony placed his hand over the phone and looked at Nick. "What's your name?" he asked.
Nick didn't answer him. This resulted in Paulie punching him in the gut again. "Answer him you fucking prick." Paulie yelled.
Nick lifted his head as best he could and looked at Tony. "Nick... Nick... Stokes." he said weakly.
Tony put the phone back to his ear and spoke to Andrea. "Do you know Nick Stokes?" Tony asked.
Andrea thought for a second. The name sounded familiar to her. Wait. Yes she did know Nick. He was in town with Jim. "Yes. I know him."
"He says he's in town to see you. That you two have a thing going."
Andrea couldn't believe that Nick would say something like that but then she realized who she was talking to. Tony Soprano. If he had Nick she had to back up his story before something bad happened to him. "I am seeing him, yes." she lied.
"Really? How long?"
Now Andrea panicked. What had Nick told them? She had a fifty fifty chance of getting it right. "It's only been a few months."
Tony sounded disappointed. "Yeah, that's what he said. Thanks." Tony said and hung up. He turned back to look at Nick. "Let him go."
"T. what the fuck?" Paulie said.
"She verified his story. Fucking let him go!" Tony yelled.
-------------------------
Paulie and Christopher dumped Nick out in front of the Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and sped off. Nick was rolling on the ground in pain and groaning. A hospital attendant saw him and rushed outside to offer him help.
He got Nick into a wheel chair and rushed him into the hospital and up to the third floor. Andrea was on her way down the hall to Nicole's room when she saw the attendant with Nick. "What happened?" Andrea asked.
"I don't know, doctor, I found on the ground in front of the hospital."
"Okay, wheel him down the hall and into a room."
The attendant wheeled Nick and Andrea followed. They brought him to a room and the attendant helped get him onto the bed. Andrea examined Nick and made sure he had plenty of pain medication.
Nick's ordeal with Tony Soprano had left him with three broken ribs, a broken nose, two black eyes and a fractured jaw. "Don't worry, Nick, you're gonna be okay. But I'm gonna talk to Jimmy about you guys leaving town. It's getting too dangerous."
"You don't have to tell me twice." Nick said and winced at the pain in his jaw.
"Come on, my shift is over, I'll take you back to the hotel."
-------------------------
Andrea pulled her car up in front of the hotel as Jim, Catherine and Peter were walking out the front door. They saw Nick in the front seat. Jim opened the passenger's side door. "What the fuck happened?"
"He had a run in with Tony Soprano." Andrea said getting out of the car.
"I knew it. Listen, you guys got to get out of town." Peter said.
"I was about to say the same thing to you Pete." Jim replied.
"I think you should all leave town. They're not gonna until you're all dead and out of the way." Andrea stated.
"Let's talk about this inside." Catherine said and helped Jim get Nick out of the car. "You never know who's watching right now."
The five of the went back into the hotel and didn't notice Paulie and Christopher watching them from their car that was parked down the street. Paulie took out his cell phone and called Tony. "Yeah, T.? We found them."
