Lilly sits down on her bed. Cecelia was nowhere to be found. He gives Lilly some water and sits down on the bed next to her.
" Do you know where Cecelia is? " Liam asked.
" Cecelia? Uh, I don't know. " Lilly replied.
" Does this usually happen? Can any patient leave their room and go anywhere? "
" I don't know. But we are so sleepy all day long. "
" Alright. So what do you do on your day? "
" I woke up. Take pills and drink water. Then eat and sleep. "
" That's it? "
" Yes. Today the chef told me yesterday that he will give us sweets! "
" ... Okay. "
" You can go. Doctor Liam. "
" Really? "
" Yes. You don't have to stay here all the time. I'm sleepy. Don't forget to wake me up when the chefs come! "
" Alright. I will. "
I know there's nothing wrong or suspensions about what she said. But I feel something off. First, I need to find Cecelia.
In an empty room. The woman was tied up in the bed. Doctor Alex entered the room and closed the door behind him. While he was walking slowly, he was putting his gloves on.
" Care to explain what happened? " Doctor Alex asked.
" I swear! That new nurse is trying to hurt us! " Said a woman.
" What happened? "
" The minute he walked into the yard I knew something wasn't
alright with that guy called Liam. He said he is a nurse but he isn't. I tried to say hey and shake his hands but he refused. He was talking to Lillian. He keeps looking around. He was avoiding me. Do you know why? Because he was scared of me. I was this close to exposing the fact that he was not a nurse. I was trying to teach Lilly that she should stay away from him but she wouldn't understand. She wouldn't get it. He will hurt her first and then me. But I know I'm his target. You didn't see how he was looking at me- "
" I heard enough. "
" ... O...okay. you believe me right? "
" I will once you answer this question. Have you been taking your medication? "
" Yes! I have. "
" ... "
" I answered it! Now you gotta believe it. "
" Hmm. "
Doctor Alex got close to the woman's ear.
" Have you been taking your medication?" Dr Alex whispers.
" Yes yes, I am! " The woman whispers.
" No, I think you are lying. Because you started to become paranoid again. It has been 2 months since your breakdown and what happened in the hallway, Dr Eliza told me that you were saying pretty vile words. Now, be honest with me. Did you throw your medication? "
" No ... No I have been taking them! Every day! " The woman replied with a shaking voice looking at Dr Alex. He closed her mouth with a tug tap and grabbed a box under the bed. It was a needle.
On the floor under the first floor. The hallway is very dusty and unclean. Liam was walking and wondering where she was going. He searched everywhere except for this floor. As he was walking, he heard a silent scream. He got scared. But he thought of Cecelia and wondered if it was her. He followed the sound where it came from but it stopped. He already knew the way because he could see the shadow of a guy in the right hallway. He couldn't move. He looked straight ahead of him and saw Cecelia. She was standing on the other side. She puts her finger on her mouth as if she is telling him to not make a sound.
All Liam could hear was his loud heartbeat. The guy couldn't move neither did Cecelia. The woman stopped making any sounds. It's just his loud heartbeat. Cecelia started walking backward. Liam did the same. Liam noticed there was a wooden piece on the ground and Cecelia was about to step on it. And she did. At the same time, Liam shouted 'hello' and walked loudly which made Cecelia walk off faster.
" Doctor Alexander? Are you here? " Liam yelled.
Liam continued walking until he looked to his right. Dr Alex standing in the middle of the hallway. His hands are in his coat.
" Th...There you are! I was looking for something. " Said Liam nervously.
As Liam walked closer, Dr Alex was looking at him with a cold look in his eyes. Then, Liam remembers that Dr Alex warned him not to lie about anything and tell him the truth. He might get in trouble but he couldn't think of another excuse.
" Hey, Liam. What are you doing here? " asked the doctor with a cold expression.
" When you left and gave me the file, I saw a woman annoying Lilly and she screamed at me- "
" What are you doing here? " asked the doctor.
" Well, I put Lilly to sleep. But I didn't see Cecelia. I looked around and I couldn't find her. I thought maybe she was here. Have you seen her? "
The doctor smiles but still has a cold expression in his eyes. Liam smiled nervously.
" I will send someone to look for her. I'm glad that you're honest with me. " Said the doctor and walked past Liam.
" How did you know that I'm not lying? " asked Liam.
" I know you are not. "
As the doctor said those words, Liam noticed some blood on his coat. Near his pocket. To be specific, his hands. The doctor left the hallway. Liam saw a door that was open a little bit. He glanced but didn't come closer. What he saw made him run in fear. He couldn't believe that this occurred. To his left, he saw Dr Alex standing where he was.
" Th...There you are! I was looking for something. " Said Dr Alex nervously the same way Liam said it. Liam stared at Dr Alex. Dr Alex didn't move.
" Just kidding. Go and look for Cecelia and if you see Eliza, tell her to come and see me in my office. " Said Dr Alex walking happily.
Liam couldn't think straight. What Liam saw in that room, was the room Doctor Alex was in, the woman had her blood on the door handle. He saw her eyes looking straight into his eyes.
