I did not move immediately after the call ended.I stood where I was with the phone in my hand and let what Adrian had said settle properly. Not the surface of it, the words themselves, but the shape of what it meant.There's an insider in Elena's schedule and maya's full medical file accessed overnight.The account Lisa had flagged had not gone quiet after Sophia was caught. It had been active exporting. Someone was still inside the hospital system, still pulling information, still watching Elena's movements, and had been doing it while we believed the situation was resolved.We had closed one door and missed another one entirely.I put the phone in my pocket, picked up my jacket from the back of the chair and walked out.I did not take the direct route. I went through the back streets, parked two roads away from the office, and came in through the side entrance. The building was a converted floor above a commercial premises in a quiet part of the city, no signage, no visible connec

I had not left the building.After losing the man in the corridor I had doubled back twice, taken the long route around the east wing, checked the stairwells and the exit near the car park.Whoever he was, he knew the layout well enough to disappear into it cleanly and quickly, which told me he had not walked through this building once or twice. He knew it.I came back through the main corridor slowly and kept to the side, close to the wall, moving at the pace of someone with somewhere to be but no particular urgency about it. My eyes went ahead of me, then to the rooms on either side, then back ahead. Every face I passed got two seconds of attention. Staff, visitors, anyone moving through the space.Everything looked normal.That was the problem.I had stopped trusting normal inside this building and normal kept presenting itself, kept offering itself as evidence that I was wrong to be here, wrong to be watching, wrong to be reading something dangerous into an ordinary hospital co

With a tired sigh, I dropped to my seat, my eyes landing on the stack of files on the table. I singled out the files that needed to be checked, noting every detail and entering the necessary ones into the computer system.With each file I checked, my eyes kept wandering to the doorstep. It felt like someone was hesitating to come in. Maybe they were nervous to speak to me or maybe they were trying to go unnoticed, I couldn't quite tell.“Who is there?” I asked, my tone a little soft. My gaze flickered to the doorknob that vibrated a little. I gave a small scoff, hoping to get up and check, but my intuition kept me glued to my seat.I tried hard to keep my focus on the files on the table but it was not quite working. At once, I noticed someone's shadow walk past without seeing anyone. My heart thumped loudly in my chest, and my hands trembled as I jerked to my feet.“Who the hell is there?” I made sure my voice wasn't too loud. I didn't want to raise an emergency notice. Perhaps I was

I raised my head from the table as my eyes found my device which lazily sat on the desk in the distance. It suddenly rang with a notification and my eyes met Marcus's. I got up and picked up my device, checking the notifications. And then I spotted the sender's name. ADRIAN. My heart skipped a beat real quick as worry filled my face, my mind filled with several negative thoughts all coming in a rush. “Elena’s computer system has been accessed by someone and we saw Maya's file open.” The text message read. I heaved a deep sigh, gasping as I read it a second time. Perhaps I didn't understand the message earlier. “What's going on?” Marcus's voice interrupted the noise in my mind. I lowered my device to the desk as I walked back to him, slapping the sides of my pocket like someone who was close to giving up. “Adrian was the one who sent a text message.” I said, his face still filled with curiosity. “And it does not look good at all.” His countenance changed just as mine did when I r

“Let's go.” Adrian held out a hand to me. I gently took it as he pulled me up, his arms resting on my shoulders as we walked back to my office.“I think it's high time we made a final decision. Fuck hesitation,” Adrian murmured as we walked through the hallways. I didn't say a word. I couldn't. My mind needed rest.“Final decision?” I managed to murmur. Curiosity beat the tiredness of my mind.“Yeah,” he said, sounding a bit more serious than earlier. “You can't afford to stay in this hospital anymore. You've got to leave as soon as possible. Being in this hospital is becoming more dangerous as the days go by.”I exhaled a deep breath as we reached the corridor and then I spotted Dominic's figure walking fast towards us. A frown sat on his brows as he reached us, his focus on Adrian.“What happened?” he asked, his voice sounding a bit low and hurried at the same time.Adrian glanced at me as he let me lean on the wall. He cleared his throat. “She got tricked.”“Tricked? By who? How?”
