Fate

Episode 3

SLY

Outside the hospital, he sat inside his car, with his hood hanging down his shoulder, as he went through the phone he’d collected from the guy he killed. He couldn’t find any saved number; just a couple of messages and a continuous exchange of calls between two numbers.

Pulling out his phone, he dialed a number and waited for it to connect.
“Kunle howfar?” he asked as the line connected.

“Yes I know sorry for the disturbance,” he apologized before he continued. “I need you to help me check the registration details of this number, 070…… Hit me back when you have got something, thanks.” He concluded and dropped the call.

As he dropped the call, he saw a car speed into the hospital premises pulling to a stop not far from his car. His hand instantly went for his gun ready to shoot when he saw the acting CEO of Williams Holdings step down from the car rushing into the hospital. Putting his gun back into the glove compartment, he stepped down from the car and followed him in.
He’d pretended to have an appointment and settled on the hospital reception on the second floor which housed the ICU where Claire was admitted watching the CEO as he paced up and down with the police officer seated in front of the door.

After about ten minutes he saw the doctor come out from the room. He watched as he talked briefly with Mr. Bob, the acting CEO before stepping away, for Bob to enter the room. His phone started vibrating in his pocket and pulling it out, he saw a message notification from Kunle.
‘It’s a dead end, the line was registered with the face of a baby and all details to it are sham’
He sighed, typed a ‘Thank you’ and replied Kunle before dropping the phone back into his pocket.

BOB

His patience was running out as he paced in front of the ward. The officer had offered him a seat twice but he was in no mood to seat.
Just when he was about to lose it, the doctor stepped out from the room, followed by a nurse.

“Thank Goodness.” He said heaving a deep sigh of relief.

“I presume you are Mr. Bob?” the doctor asked stretching forth his hand for a hand shake.

“Yes, how is she?” Bob asked taking the doctor’s hand.

“Calm down sir, she is ok, just shocked. We sedated her and by the time she wakes up she will be just fine.” The doctor explained.
“Thank you doctor.” Bob appreciated.
“You are welcome.”
“Can I see her now?” he asked, uncertain of what the doctor’s reply would be.
“Yea sure!” the doctor replied with a smile and nodded to the officer before walking away with the nurse.
