The Crescent Birthmark

Gregg Sulkin as Jason

St. Mary's Hospital building doesn't have the modern trait in its structure as the hospital is the oldest one in town, and honestly it did give Aiden creeps. Alicia explained why she chose the hospital when he commented on how modern hospitals have better technology than this one. It was because she did not have money and this ministry-organized hospital offers free service despite the wait.

"That's the nurse!" Alicia yelled, pointing towards a brunette dressed in a nurse uniform. The nurse looks young, like she is in her twenties. "She was the one helping me delivering my baby. Maybe she should know a little bit something about her."

Aiden looked over at the nurse's direction, she was busy talking to the phone. It seemed like she was whispering over it, but he could not care any less. "What should I ask her?" He questioned and Alicia thought for a while.

"About me. And the baby. You know how to handle this right? Or do you want me to whisper what you should say?"

"Yeah, yeah. I know how and even if I don't want to I know you would be shouting." Aiden snorted quietly. "But what if she doesn't have the answer? Where else should we look?" Aiden wondered.

"It is worth a shot. Hopefully she does have the answer." Alicia placed her hand on her chest, sighing as she was being hopeful yet uncertain. "I don't know. We should try this first."

"Okay! She's done now! Go, go!" Alicia immediately changed the mood as she cheered way too loudly, which Aiden rolled his eyes to, mouthing "you're impatient" as he stepped closer to the nurse.

'Ms. Tanya.' He read her nametag silently. "Hello, Miss Tanya?" He spoke, drawing the woman's attention to him. Alicia was watching and Aiden knew very well how hopeful she is.

"Yes?" Tanya pulled the phone away from her, immediately shoving it back into her uniform pocket. "How may I help you? Do you have any appointment with the doctor?" She asked, and her voice sounded irritated. 'What a way to treat your customer.' Aiden thought.

"Actually, I don't have any appointment–"

"Then I don't see why you should be standing here?" She cut him off. "You can go back to the waiting area to make any appointments. You know we can't just cut you short, for the sake of the patients who do make their appointments. Unless if it is an emergency..." Her eyes narrowed to his stomach as she trailed. "But this is the labor section. You're not possibly pregnant let alone be in an urge to deliver."

"Rude!" Alicia crossed her arms, unsatisfied of Tanya's respond.

Aiden was speechless for a while, he was annoyed as well. She is only a nurse for god's sake. "I only want to ask you a question or two regarding one of your previous patients."

"What is it? Please hurry up."

Aiden looked at her. So she could talk to the phone on work but she could not talk to someone who is supposedly her customer? "Do you know Alicia Pennyworth?" He proceeded to ask.

Tanya looked startled and shocked at the question, or the mention of the name to be exact. Her tanned skin was turning slightly blue and pale. "No, I don't." Her answer sounded unsure, and her voice was quite shaky. Aiden raised his brow.

"She is lying!" Alicia stomped her feet, feeling slightly angered. "Trust me, she is."

"Are you sure you don't know any of your patient named Alicia Pennyworth?" Aiden asked again, knowing her answer was a lie.

"I'm sure I don't. Never heard of that name actually." Tanya said quickly. "Now, if you don't mind, I've got other patients to attend. See you." She rushed away from him and Alicia let out a frustrated scream that no one but Aiden could hear.
