Chapter 190: The Skeletons X
Bristol Airport
After a 2 hours flight from Heathrow to Bristol, the two walked out of the plane with their carry-ons; after deactivating plane mode, Levi’s phone suddenly rang in the mildly populated airport. The slicked blond looked at his mobile’s screen,’ secured number’ he read.
"Levi Jackson." He greeted, waiting for the person on the other line to speak.
"Room 16, Tom Florence." A masculine voice spoke from the other line, causing Levi to halt all of a sudden. Marco shot him an odd look, wondering what was going on. "Stop her." the man added shortly, Levi opened his mouth to speak, but the call ended soon after.
Room 16, Tom Florence. His mind repeated.
"What was that?" Marco asked, curious about his best friend’s noticeable change in stature he could imagine only akin to relief? Levi turned to Marco, "The Big Bad Wolf, decided to save Red Riding Hood." he replied, continuing on their way out of the airport.
Hailing a cab to bring them to the hotel, the two left their belongings and headed immediately to Hope Valley Healthcare.
The duo ran towards the entrance of the facility, barging before the sun had even fully risen. Levi walked straight inside, ignoring the woman at the front desk.
"Sorry, we are here for Tom Florence, it’s important." Marco stopped for a moment to say. "It’s too early for visitation, sir." the annoyed staff informed, gesturing to her coworker to follow Levi. "Yeah, again I apologise. I’m Dr. Marco Evans. We’re looking for a woman with red hair, about this height. Really pretty, had she been here?" he asked; the woman with the name tag ’Suzie’ scowled. "Do you mean, Dr. Gray?" was Suzie’s reply, one that caused Marco’s brows to shoot up.
"Yes. Exactly. She’s a friend of our’s." he said, "When was the last time you’ve seen her?" he asked, curious. "Last night, if you need her, she’ll be back in the afternoon for her shift." Suzie replied, wanting to get the two men out. Patients in the facility were still asleep, and she’d rather they stay that way till her shift ends.
