Qin Song looked at his watch then spoke: "You are slower than expected."

Male voice: "Sorry boss, there were a few unforeseen events that impeded our progress."

Qin Song smirked as he thought of the Mao's family's foolishness: "Its fine. Send me the encrypted files tonight and the report."

Male voice: "Roger that boss."

Qin Song returned his phone to his pocket and turned to face an unhappy bun.

Qin Song sighed: "I'll get you a phone tonight."

Little 4th was still unhappy: "Hmph it's the least you can do." Little 4th knew that the only way his brother would know about him wanting a phone is if he had been eavesdropping on his conversation. 'This guy is so nosy, why is he always around when I'm talking to big sister YingYing?'

Qin Song: "There will be rules in place to restrict how much you can use it and what you will be able to use it for."

Little 4th tilted his head back and gave Qin Song a condescending look his face clearly read 'Do you think I don't know my limits? I'm not like you.'

Qin Song had enough. He picked up little 4th and carried him down the hallway.

Little 4th: "Put me down, I can walk."

Qin Song teased: "You're all grown up so why don't you make me?"

Little 4th struggled to free himself but it was pointless, he was trapped. In the end he just buried his face in his brother's shoulder in frustration and humiliation.

Qin Song smiled down at his little brother who was trying to hide his face in embarrassment 'Such a mighty temper for one so small, it kind of reminds me of ...'

Unity Hospital Theater 6

So far the morning had been uneventful. Li Xiuying was currently watching as Wu Quon was suturing the port sites for patient no 5.

Li Xiuying could see a health care assistant moving suspiciously close to the sterilized equipment, the woman looked twitchy and nervous.

Scrub nurse Meng Eu-meh: "Another 3-0 prolene and dressings."

The health care assistant: "Right away." She then went over to the cabinet for medical supplies and retrieved the aforementioned equipment.

She partially opened the packet for prolene 3-0 being careful not to touch the sterilized content and waited for Meng Eu-meh to take it. She then did the same with the dressings.

As the healthcare assistant walked away, Li Xiuying saw her brushing unusually close to the side of the trolley.

Li Xiuying: "Count the sharps."

Scrub nurse Meng Eu-Meh looked at Li Xiuying then turned to her trolley; she knew that Dr Li wouldn't make any unnecessary request and that she wasn't questioning her abilities to manage the equipment.

Meng Eu-Meh's voice was cold: "There are only 5 suture needles; one is missing. Someone must have taken ..." She sharply looked at the health care assistant's face, which clearly had guilty written all over it then. Meng Eu-Meh watched as the health care assistant tried to hide her hands.

The health care assistant was panicking internally but tried to maintain an outwardly calm exterior. She clutched onto the needle in a way that it wouldn't pierce through the flesh of her hand.

Health care assistant: "Maybe it fell on the floor? I'll have a look now." She was about to bend down to "search" for the needle and create her escape route.
