No Reason But Us

Chapter 69 : Payback Time

Outside Oddey's hospital room, Gage went out to buy his Juliet the spicy cup noodle that she wanted from the pantry. Unknown to him, his father was just nearby and in disguise as one of the male nurses there. He wore a facemask so he wouldn't be recognized by his son if they bumped into each other.

Adrian watched Gage walk farther until he went inside the elevator. It was his chance to execute whatever he was planning. He even took a wheelchair and pushed it to the hallways.

Afterward, he knocked first once he got to the room. "Come in," Oddey said from the inside. So the man did. Inside, the young lady was surprised to see a male nurse bringing in a wheelchair. "Uhm... Yes?"

"The doctor wants you to be checked in the MRI," the man said while trying to alter his voice, then slowly approached her.

"MRI? No one told me I needed that."

"Well, now you do. The doctor just requested it now." Adrian was getting closer, and his hands were out, ready to grab her. "Here, I'll help you get on that wheelchair."

It did seem something was wrong, Oddey started fearing for her safety that she wanted to back away. "I want to see the doctor."

"Just let me help you." The sinister man's hand was reaching towards her.

"No! Get away from me!" The poor girl wanted to get away, but there was no use because Adrian had his hand on her mouth before she could scream for help, making it hard to breathe.

Unfortunately, since Oddey could not fight back like last time, due to having one arm being gauzed up due to the gunshot, there was no use. Her attacker just kept pressing his palm on her mouth so hard that she was starting to weaken and then passed out the next second.

The plan was successful, and the unconscious girl was placed in the wheelchair with a beanie on her head and a facemask covering part of her face. Adrian managed to get her out without any suspicions.

They went through the corridor until a nurse spotted them since she recognized Oddey's eyes even though they were closed and her hands that were exposed on the armrest. "Excuse me, where are you taking this patient?" she asked.

"MRI," Adrian answered, hoping it was convincing.

"Really? Because this isn't the way to go there."

That was when the evil man quickly took out a gun and then pointed it at the nurse. "Well, then get out of my way!" he snarled.

It caused an immediate panic in the corridor. Everyone was screaming and running away from there, while Adrian had the gun out. The nurse backed away slowly, feeling fearful for her life. "Please, don't," she begged.

The man carried Oddey over his shoulder. "Stay where you are," he demanded. "Or I'll shoot her head off." Then aimed the weapon at her.

Down in the lobby, no one was alerted yet that a madman was taking a patient, and waving a gun around. Gage was about to get back to the floor where his girlfriend was.

Not long after the alarm was on, and red blinking lights blinking inside the building. The other security guard instructed everyone in the hospital to exit accordingly. "What's going on?" he asked.

"A man is taking a patient from her room in the fourth floor, and he has a gun," the guard answered.

"Fourth floor!" Gage gasped in horror, then was about to ran off afterward to save her.

The young man got there using the elevator, saw that there were still a handful of people around screaming, and got away from there. After that, he rushed to Oddey's room and was shocked that she was not there, knowing she was not capable of escaping from harm.
