Chapter 146: Chapter 146
Maze had made up his mind to avenge his master and colleagues and the injustice he felt had been done to them and had decided to do that and stop them from testifying against them, he would have to kill both Campbell and Nancy.
He contemplated the person to kill first and decided that it must be Campbell.
He was the one who had come to the slut's rescue and had called the police. He was also the one who was conscious and could do more harm to them even before they were taken to the court if law.
Nancy was already half dead though that did not mean that she would be left alone and given the chance to recover from her coma. She won't. After getting rid of Campbell, while on the attention would be on him, he would go and finish off the slut.
He entered the reception in disguise though his weight and height was not something someone forgot easily.
Then he went into the doctors' changing room and wore a lab coat as well as a nose mask.
It was a big hospital and not all the doctors are known physically.
He went into Jason's room and found him sleeping.
He had just been giving a doze of his medicine and it had caused him to fall into a deep sleep.
'Good!' Maze said to himself. Things were going even easier than he had anticipated.
He had planned to change his drugs with one of his that was very harmful and could cause seizure and death instantly.
But seeing no drugs around him and seeing that he was fast asleep, he decided to suffocate him with a pillow.
He was about to pick the pillow when the door to Jason's room opened and some children ran into it.
He hissed. 'What kind of interruption is this?'
'Children,get out. This is a ward you know. And you will disturb the patient. You can see that he is sleeping!'
He tried to shoo them away but they would not bulge.
Time was of the essence. He liked working with time. He was going to deal with this children. Possibly tie them up somewhere so that they won't disturb him until he had executed his plan. He had not wanted any witnesses but thank goodness he was in disguise. If they were asked, they would say it was a doctor that did it and the hospital would be held responsible. Before they would think to suspect him, everything would be over.
He was still conceiving this plan as he looked around the room for something to gag the children with before tying them up so that they do not scream and alert anyone.
'You asked us to leave but what are you doing here?' Vera asked.
'I am a doctor and can come in here at anytime I please to check on the patient.
'But you can see that he is sleeping and dies not need any checking now. So you can leave and come back later when he is awake.And where is the nurse that is supposed to come in here with you?' Vaughn asked.
Maze did not have time for these questions and answers, he looked wildly around for a gag be ause their words were deafening and distracting him.
He thought he had found something that would serve when the door opened and a man came in and called to the children.
'Vaughn, Shane on you and Vera.I asked you not to come in here and disturb your uncle but you did not obey me, now did you?'
'We saw someone come into uncle's hospital room and we wanted to know who they were', they answered.
Chris looked at the person in the room with them. So huge and tall.
'Ehm, I am Chris, the patient's in law. What is the problem, doc, what are you doing here when his drugs had already been administered?'
'That would explain why he is asleep. I came to check on him but it is okay since he has been given drugs. I shall come back later'.
Chris looked at the name tag on the lab coat and read, Dr. Ratfield.
He grew suspicious because he knew a Dr. Ratfield and he was a smallish man. Not one that is as tall and huge as this one was.
'Excuse me doctor?'
'Yes, are you Dr. Parker Ratfield?'
Maze felt that his guise was about to be exposed but he tried to face this man, who knows he might not even know the doctor in question but may have heard of him.
'Yes, can I help you?'
'From where were you transfered to this hospital?'
This was not the kind of question he was planning on answering. How was he supposed to answer the question?
'There is no time for these questions Mr..?'
'Whitman', Chris supplied sure now that this doctor was an imposter.
'Mr. Whitman. If you need a chat, we could have one after my duty hours but for now, duty calls. I'm sorry'.
'Not at all!' Chris said looking after the man.
What had he come into Jason's room to do then if he was not Dr. Ratfield?
Then an idea struck him. He was not a doctor at all but had come here to kill Jason but his children had seen him come into their uncle's hospital room and had followed. They had probably saved Jason's life.
But who could want him dead?
Then he remembered that a member of Richmond's gang of men had escaped. He was not sure but he could be the one here to finish the job he started.
It meant that Jason's life was in danger and so was Nancy's for that matter.
What was he to do? He felt sure that now that his plot to kill Jason had failed, he would make a go at Nancy and hers would be very easy since she was already close to death.
All he had to do was take of the oxygen supply for a few seconds and the deed would be done and then he would fix it back on and no one would be any the wiser.
What to do? He couldn't possibly leave his children alone in this room with Jason. The imposter could have accomplices and they would come and complete the job for their colleague and erase all evidence by wringing the necks of his children. He couldn't possibly have that.
He decided to lock Jason up in the room and quickly go and check up on Nancy.
He locked up immediately and holding his children in both hands, he led them quickly to Nancy's intensive unit ward.
As he got there, he saw someone walk briskly away and his heart started thumping that he may h as be come to Nancy's rescue too late. What was he going to tell Jason? He would be so heart broken.
