"...Carina?"
Miranda entered the narrow room and looked at Carina.
Carina held a small box filled with surgical gloves, face masks, and protective gowns. Lying on the box was also a tray with a mouth swab, a small bag for the removed swab, and an oral spatula. She had everything ready to take a DNA sample from the suspect.
Miranda's facial expression had changed from questioning to confused:
"Are you alright? It's taken you quite a while, I wanted to see where you were."
Carina looked at Miranda now and Miranda's expression softened even more. It wasn't hard for Miranda to see that she must have been crying. She had red eyes and clearly didn't looked to be too well. However, Carina didn't want to have to talk to her about what was going on and made her way over to Miranda by the door:
"Everything's fine, I - I just had a quick call with Maya, but we can start now... Who did you manage to find to assist us?"
Miranda realized that asking Carina about what was going on made no sense at the moment and simply answered the question:
"Sadly, there was no free doctor, a car accident with lots of injured people had just gone in. However, I found a relatively new nurse instead. Her name is Haley, perhaps you already know her."
Carina didn't know her and shook her head at the question. Miranda opened the door so that Carina could go through and followed her into the hallway.
"Let's have a go then, shall we?"
Carina said and took another deep breath. Miranda looked at her a little worriedly:
"Yes, let's get it over with and get answers for Mila..."
They walked in silence through the corridors of the hospital to the room where Haley was waiting.
Carina tried to smile kindly at her, holding the box and tray on her hip. She gave the nurse her hand to introduce herself briefly:
"Hey, I'm. Dr. Carina DeLuca"
-
"Haley Levett, Miranda brought me in to assist..."
Carina nodded and they both looked expectantly at Miranda as she still held the papers and permission to test:
"Well... Let's go in and get this over with quickly."
Carina opened the door, but let the other two go ahead.
Miranda stepped to one side of the bed and Haley stepped up next to her. Carina walked behind her to the opposite side and immediately felt a little more pressured again.
She looked at the unconscious man and immediately asked herself a question:
'What would you and Miranda do if he woke up right now?
She now looked at Miranda and Miranda looked into her eyes. According to Mila's descriptions, it could indeed be the perpetrator lying in front of her.
Carina put the utensils down and crossed her arms, keeping her eyes on the unconscious man lying in the hospital bed. His face was calm, almost peaceful. But that calmness didn't deceive her. If the test proved what they all suspected, he probably wouldn't stay peaceful for long.
"Dr. DeLuca..."
the assisting nurse said, cutting through the silence.
"Are we ready to proceed?"
