Chapter 127: Daniel McAlister
East Ham, London
Daniel McAlister buttoned his cuffs, and slipped on his dress shoes. He then made his way towards the mirror, adjusting the necktie before knotting it around his neck. After deeming his appearance acceptable, he moved to leave but paused suddenly when he noticed a pocket knife peeking under his bed.
He bent over and picked it up, knowing full well the knife didn’t belong to him, and he knew exactly who it belonged to.
Sam Gray.
He put his suit jacket on and pocketed the pocket knife; he thought he would come by Guy’s and give it to her since he was on his way to work anyway.
After almost half an hour’s drive, at 9:48 AM, Daniel reached Guy’s Hospital. He had a Starbucks to-go cup filled with Caramel macchiato on his left and a blueberry muffin on the other. And he strutted in the hallways elegantly, asking for direction once in a while.

Guys Hospital
Sam sat in her laboratory while analyzing a video and audio evidence from the CCTV camera from the street across a crime scene she was currently consulting on when the landline rang. She paused the recording for a moment and pushed her chair towards the location of the phone, grabbing it in one swift motion, then rolling back towards her original position and playing the recording again.
She clicked the answer button then pressed the phone between her left cheek and shoulder.
"Yep?" she said, knowing it was her assistant on the other line.
"Mr. McAlister is here to see you." Elle’s voice spoke on the other line, and the redhead felt the edge in her voice. Elle clearly disapproved.
