Her eyes were still glittering with tears from when she’d been pretending to cry, only adding onto the pity the nurse already felt for her.

“How many of them are there?” Clara looked towards Rachel with an unreadable expression.
“Three,” Rachel answered as she looked up at her. She held the doctor’s gaze for a moment, trying to place where she’d seen her before, because she was almost certain this woman was more than familiar.
“Where are they?”
“Ward 1206. I came to visit my father. When I peeked into the window at the door he wasn’t there. Only those three men. I was lucky that they didn’t see me when I looked in.” Rachel wasn’t sure whether Clara believed her or not. But right now, she didn’t care. Clara had asked questions, which meant she was either committed to helping her, or was invested enough to entertain her story for a little bit longer.
When Rachel continued to study Clara, the doctor reached out her hand and rested it gently on Rachel’s shoulder.
“It’s alright. Don’t be afraid,” she said in a soothing voice. If she didn’t believe Rachel’s story, she was putting on a very convincing performance that she did.
She asked the nurse to put a call through to the security office, and ask them to send some guards up.
While this was all happening outside Ward 1206, the three thugs that Caroline had hired were still patiently waiting. One of them started to get restless and glanced down at his phone to check the time. He frowned as he said to the other two, “We’ve been waiting for half an hour already. Where is the target?”
“I’m starting to get a little suspicious as well, boss. I think we should call our employer and ask what’s going on. This can’t be a trick, right?” one of the other thugs said.
The leader, the man they called “boss”, raised the bat in his hand and gently knocked them on their heads.
“Calm down. She’s already paid a deposit. I don’t think she would have done that if she was just playing the fool. Just think, once we’re done here, we’ll be another 500, @0@ dollars richer! We won’t have to work for the next few years! We will be free to enjoy ourselves as we see fit! Keep your chin up and have faith.”
The two lackeys immediately stood a little straighter and looked towards him.
“Yes, boss! Understood!” they said in unison.
As their voices died down, the sound of footsteps echoed from the corridor outside. The boss, gestured them all to silence, then held his index finger to his lips as an extra precaution. The three of them hunkered down into combat stances, sticking close to the wall, ready for action.
The door knob turned, and slowly the door opened.

They couldn’t properly see who’d entered the room from the positions they were in, but they stayed still until the figure stepped inside.
They exchanged glances with each other, nodded, and rushed towards the person.
“You little bitch! You kept me waiting for so long- Ouch!” the boss cried and immediately cringed away from the pain.
“Ah!” one of the other men screamed.
“Ouch! Who hit me?” the second one cried.
More cries of pain and shock rose from the three thugs.
Sounds of struggling and fighting came from the ward. But it didn’t last long. It died down after a few moments, leaving behind an eerie silence. The three thugs were cowering on the ground in front of two security guards. They had fresh bruises blooming on their faces, and swollen, split lips from where they’d been hit.
Rachel and Clara stepped into the ward once they knew it was safe.
“Dr. Jimenez,” said the head security guard as he approached them,
