Claire walked past a couple of doctors with her head down while she strolled towards the entrance of the morgue. The long doctor coat Claire had wrapped around her body along with a nurses shirt served as her doctor's disguise which so far had everyone fooled.
No one noticed anything off or even suspected a thing. Some people even sent greetings her way as they assumed she was one of them.
She glanced around her when she reached the entrance of the morgue. After confirming that she was in the clear, she rushed into the morgue then shut the door with a loud exhale.
"Thank God" She muttered to herself "Let's get this over with before someone finds an unconscious body in the lavatory"
Yes, unconscious body.
Claire decided to work with what Roberto obviously had in mind (Despite trying to sabotage her with it) and steal a doctor's uniform. That way, she wouldn't have any problem moving around, and wouldn't raise any alarms or cause any suspicion.
But just when she thought she had it all figured out, she encountered another obstacle.
How was she even going to get a uniform without moving around to find one?
She groaned in agony, and just when she was about to lose hope, someone stepped into the bathroom.
A male nurse.
"No, it's my shift tonight at the morgue, Tammy. You know I don't do morning shifts anymore"
Claire's eyes widened.
"A morgue nurse?" She thought to herself.
"I know, I know. I'm sorry. Look, how about tomorrow? I'm free and so are you. We'll get some tacos, then after go watch a movie" Claire opened the door ajar and peeped at the nurse.
He grinned "I knew you'd like it. Take it as my compensation for failing our two dinners before" Claire eyed him from head to toe.
He was draped in an all blue apparel and had a white coat hanging on his body. She didn't need the entire get up, just his shirt and coat would do.
She had found her disguise.
"Yeah, totally. I know" He chuckled "I love you too, babe. Bye" He cut the call then sighed. As he turned to walk into the men's bathroom, his eyes landed on Claire's who quickly shut the bathroom door with wide eyes.
"Hello?" He asked "Is everything okay in there?"
Claire remained silent.
The guy stared at the door expectantly but after he received no response, shrugged, then, walked into the men's bathroom which made Claire exhale in relief.
She turned to the wall next to the men's room.
"I need to get that uniform off his body" She muttered to herself then stood to her feet "If I don't do something, I'm gonna be stuck here the entire night" She walked to the entrance of the ladies room and hopped on her feet as she waited for the nurse.
There was a flush before the door to the male bathroom swung open, Claire peeped and watched as the nurse rinsed his hands in the sink. As soon as he finished and backed her, she dashed out of the bathroom then rushed him.
Before he could turn around and assess the situation, Claire circled her arm around his neck and squeezed. He began to swing around as he tried to both find out who his attacker was and also to get Claire off of him. But, sadly, his lanky build didn't match Claire's more athletic one and in a matter of seconds, he was unconscious.
To Claire, this wasn't new to her. There have been several instances where she had done worse to people when she was a detective.
Luckily for the nurse, such measures did not need to be taken.
