Criminal Detective

Sneaky Sneaking Sneak

"What's this?" Claire asked as she pulled the wrapped black nylon out of his hand.

"Customary clothing for what you've been assigned to do tonight" He said as Claire began to tear open the package "I put in a pair of gloves to help with the night's cold"

Claire fake smiled "How thoughtful of you" After she was done ripping the wrapper away, she opened the package and stared at a pair of gloves and a complete doctor uniform.

"Test it" Roberto obliged which she did with a sigh. As Claire forced herself into the jacket, she realized with every tug and pull she made, it refused to fully envelope her body. Claire continued to struggle until she gave up and eyed Roberto.

"It's not my size"

Roberto grinned "Well, isn't that a bummer?"

"You don't expect me to step into the hospital like some kind of clown, do you?"

"If you're worried so much about aesthetics, Miss Williams. I'd advice you steal an outfit from the hospital"

"Steal an outfit? How the hell am I supposed to do that?" He shrugged then snapped his fingers, in an instant everyone stood to their feet and walked up to him "You leave for Peterson general hospital at 10:19pm. Prepare yourself" He said then walked past her and out the door.

"Couldn't you have told me all of this on the phone?"

"I could've, but I wanted to ensure you don't chicken out. I'm pretty sure my presence pumped you up more than a phone call would've"

He wasn't wrong about that.

"Oh, and speaking of phones. Keep yours next to you, do call me when you're done and I'll let you know when we can meet and discuss" He smiled "Have a good night, Miss Williams"

"Have a good night? Is that some kind of joke?" She thought to herself as they all walked out of her apartment. One of the Katana ladies glared at Claire as she stepped out which made her gulp before they all disappeared.

Claire shut her door and locked it quickly. She then turned to her cat on the sofa as her heart trashed harshly in her chest and her breathing was ragged.

"I need to get a gun" She muttered to herself and the cat meowed. Claire stared at the doctor's jacket she had taken off her body with a scowl. A part of her could've sworn that he did it on purpose.

After all, he did say he would make her life miserable.

As she stared at the hospital, she gave herself a mental note to ensure that she got that gun once the sun was up.

"I can't believe I'm doing this" Claire said, glued to where she stood. She took in a deep breath then sighed before she dashed towards the gates of the hospital.

The guards positioned at the entrance were fortunately asleep, so, Claire was quick to slip past without alerting them. Once she swooped in, she trudged to the main entrance and stared at the doors with uneasiness and confusion.

Did she have to sneak into the hospital?

It was a hospital, she could just walk inside, say she was visiting someone, then, find the morgue and sneak into it.

But, why did that feel illegal?

"Probably because that isn't what I'm here to do" She muttered to herself "God, my nerves are getting to me"

She stared down at her hands which shook fervently then frowned.

"Really, Claire?" She muttered to herself, then shut her eyes close with a sigh. She began to shake her body, trying her best to psych herself up.
