The meeting was getting tensed up and the investor were all angry, ready to pull out their shares from the company, not like the money could not be refund but it was a breech of agreement to stop production suddenly. It was a food chain company, ever since the products started getting tampered with by their competitors production had to stop but the investors were not informed “For three months, there haven’t been any production, any supply-my money is in this company!” A round old man bald man all dressed in suit and tie angrily spoke “The company took a hiatus, like I said the CEO had here reasons for that and very soon operations would resume” a lady explained, she was the deputy CEO “The whole point of what you are trying to say is that this company is not trust worthy, one minute you are in business and another you are out?” “I didn’t say such” the pet

The security men exchanged looks between each other and then to Judy “What did you just say about a robbery attack?” Just when Judy was about to tell the security guard that Dante was the ex-convict that was on the news some weeks ago, she feared at how petty she could be. “Did you see this Mr Camry with a gun or something?” the security asked again as they seriously waited on Judy to say something, anything at all instead of leaving then wondering how a robbery attack would soon happen in the hospital “Uhh, my bad” Judy closed her eyes “I guess it’s dejavu or my screen time is getting too much” “You said a robbery attack was about to happen here-“ “It’s in the movies, my bad-I saw a movie yesterday, sorry to scare you both” Judy replied “You didn’t scare us” one of the security cleared his throat “You infact might be leading us on false information” “Look I barely even know that guy okay? I just met him today at the hospital although we go back from childhood, coinc

Dante ran down the stairs breathlessly, he took it two each jump when no one was looking or close sight, but when he saw someone walking up the stairs he pretended to be composed and walked down the stairs pretentiously. If should incase the officer looked at the CCTV there was every possibility he could have spotted him taking Theo’s name tag and even Judy’s keycard so he needed to leave the hospital as soon as possible, he already got what he needed, Quinn’s phone number. On the fourth floor, a security man was talking into a walkie talkie “A laboratory scientist disguise?” the person at the other side of the device replied “Over, clear fourth floor” The man turned to Dante who was standing to hear more, he glared at Dante like as if to ask why he was standing and looking at him like he saw a ghost. “May I help you?” The security man inquired “Uhh no” Dante stuttered, he swallowed down nervously as he made his way to continue walking down to the third floor “The tracke

Dante took stride with his very good legs like a laboratory scientist to the staff room, as he got to the door he fumbled for the key card he collected from Judy without her contest and the slot it on the door, it turned from red to green. Dante smiled from ear to ear, although it was hidden behind his nose mask he couldn’t hide his happiness as he did a happy dance move with his leg while he entered the room. The room was actually a room to other rooms, in fact Dante was very confused, he was never expecting to meet another door? Nevertheless he maintained his calm and walked through the quiet hallway as another staff approached him “Good day” she nodded as she passed Dante who was ensure of how to respond nodded likewise with a slight bow as he continued walking to where he didn’t even know. The door where closed and from his guess Judy key card could open any door, he was actually anticipating entering through the main door in the first place but that moment his heart began

Dante didn't know what exactly to say to the nurse standing in front of him, the other day she had been nice to him that was the reason for the flowers, chocolate and wine he had ordered for her and not because he had any ulterior moltive towards her. “Can I have your number please?” Dante asked in a gentle man style, his voice was charming, and he was handsome as well, his long hair alone made him an eye looker “Sure” the nurse took his phone and typed her number into his phone, then she gave it back to him, she had already saved it as “Judy” with love emojis. That’s right her name was Judy, It was just then that Dante recalled. “I would give you a call” Dante told her even so he made a mental note to not call at all, his love was already a mess and he need not involve her in it. “I would soon be done with my shift, could you wait a little let me round up then we can go have lunch” she asked politely “-together, please” she added right there Dante wanted to decline her request

Dante took slow strides limping into the hospital, the last time he was there his leg was really bad that he didn’t have to pretend to be limping. That day he was heavily disgraced and he even cried after the incident with Ellie and her mother accusing him of stealing her diamond necklace when it was Nurse Quinn who took it.Dante never knew he was in fact a very skilled pick pocket until hours ago when he took the herb, he was able to recall a memory from his past, now he was on the move and he had a plan.“Uhh I have a physiotherapy appointment today with my nurse” Dante lied to the receptionist“Uhh, hold on a sec” she paused as she typed on the laptop “Your name please and Hospital card?”“Dante Willow” he blurted, for the hospital card he had misplaced it “I didn’t bring it along with him, I was here last month receiving treatment, my leg suddenly started paining me this morning, that was why I rushed down here”The receptionist looked at him“You were assigned to nurse Quinn”
