Real Novel Chapter Nineteen
From PenguinWiki
Nightlight sleeped in her bag while she walked into the Fairbanks Memorial Hospital and looked around. A nurse walked down the corridor and Kate shouted to her; "Hello, could you please tell me in which room my dear friend Mr. Carlos Sandiego lies in?". "Yes of course", the nurse answered, "he is in room number 415 at the fifth floor in the eastern wing of the buliding."
That sounds fine, it looks like he is just waiting for me in some nearly deserted part of the hospital where only the hopless cases are kept. She smiled it would be pleasant to see that once so strong and violent man lying in his bed, without enough power left to take care of himself. Yes he is gonna suffer for everything he has done to me in the past, and he's gonna suffer for the death of my beloved dear Tony. Who else could have planned such an cruelty as to kill my dearest one!
Kate took the elevator up to the fifth floor and began seeking after room number 415, when she heard noise from behind the next corner. She almost run into a screaming nurse who was running to the other direction towards the elevators. Now there's something wrong here, has that idiot hanged himself before I had the pleasure to stabb him? That would be so unfair... Kate drew her revolver from her handbag, which disturbed Nightlight which had been sleeping and therefore began to purr slowly.
At the policestation Lt. Guthrie had just forced Sgt. Anderson to reveal a little bit more of his past, when the telephone on his desk began to alarm. Guthrie grabbed the phone and answered; "Hallo, it's Lt. Guthrie on the line what's the problem now?" "Sir, we just got an alarm from the hospital that there is an armed man, that has occupied one of the patient rooms and taken two of the patients as hostages!"
"Damned shit, then there's nothing else to do than to take all men that is available from urgent cases to this operation. I'll drive there immediatley!"
"What's all about?" Anderson asked. "It's some maniac that has invaded our hospital, Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, and taken two patients as hostages!", Guthrie said, "that's just typical, I mean, I didn't tell you, but the men we are seeking after are lying at just that hospital, and I don't believe it's a coincidence"
Sgt. Anderson and Lt. Guthrie jumped into Guthries car and drove to the hospital. When they arrived it was full panic there, the police had taken the ground floor under control but people were fleeing from the other floors downstairs. "What's the situation?", Lt. Guthrie asked from one of the constables who guarded the main entrance. "Sir, there's just been heard shooting from fifth floor in the eastern wing. We believe there's two armed people in there, or that's at least what it sounds like." "Okay, we'll have to go there now, you and three other constables and Sgt. Anderson comes with me!"
