Episode 2

BOB

“Good day!! I am looking for a young lady, Claire Williams, who was brought here by the SCD some hours ago,” Bob said to the receptionist sitting over the counter.
“Good day Sir. May I know your name and relationship with the lady please,” the young beautiful receptionist said with a smile.
“Bob… Bob Williams, her Uncle.”
“Can I see an ID please?” she demanded.
Bob annoyingly pulled out his wallet and picking out his drivinglicense slammed it on the counter cursing under his breath.
The young lady took the license and checked for face match. Convinced, she punched some buttons on the computer before handing it back to the man with a smile.
“She is in the ICU, room 20. Take the stairs and walk down the corridor. The second to the last room on the left, thanks.”
Bob collected his license and without sparing the young lady another look ran up the stairs.
Seated outside room 20 was Agent Klin jotting down on his note pad. Sighting a man walking up to him, he stood up to meet him.
“Sorry Sir this is a restricted area you have to move back.”
“I’m Bob Williams, Claire is my niece. Your office called me,” Bob said stopping before the officer.

“Can I see an ID please?” Agent Klin demanded.

“For Christ sake….” Bob cursed repeating the same process he passed through at the reception.

Agent Klin collected the license which Bob handed out to him to check for face match. Convinced, he handed it back to him.
“I’m afraid you will have to wait for a moment Sir. She is been attended to by the doctor,” the agent said.
“For how long do I have to wait?” Bob asked impatiently.

“I can’t tell Sir,” Agent Klin replied and sank back to his seat while Bob started pacing the length of the corridor impatiently and frustrated. He so wanted to see his niece and make sure she is ok.
