and? What did you find? Kira stared at him, hopetol and apprehensive at the same time.
The doctor pursed his lips. 'Nothing!0
What?
The footage we had was up till last night. There was nothing from today."
He pointed to the hallway outside. Same goes for all other cameras in the building. Tech support says it's a system malfunction. They're trying to reboot the system right now De Morrison turned to the bed.
The EKO lead wines, nasogastric tube and endotracheal tube were scattered all over the sheets
The intracranial pressure monitor as well as the electrocardiogram monitor were both switched off.
Which was why the nurses' station didn't get an alert when Mr Hewitt was moved.
Dr Morrison cast a nervous look at the ventilator machine.
Mr Hewitt had an inoperative intracerebral hemorrhage.
He could breathe on his own, but just barely.
Without the help of mechanical ventilation, he could develop respiratory distress, which might lead to handeath if left untended.
Kirafought another day spell
She dug her als into her thigh.
The painted her to stay focused.
Yet her mind was blank,
She pinched herself and ordered her brain to work
All the cameras in the building were down on the same day her father disappeared.
It was too muched a coincidence
Who did this?
Dad had born in a coma for two years.
His friends and relatives were all back in Milton
He had no enemies-wait, Helen!
Kira seized the nurse's hand. 'Did a woman into Dad's prom? ither this moming or yesterday? Late forties, well-dressed?"
Jocelyncastermind back and shook her head. No. No one came to visit Mr Hewitt yesterday except you.'
"I've got security calling to all the medical staff working on this floor, Dr Morrison chimed in. "We'll soon know if they've seen anyone suspicious." He had arrived at the hospital just minutes before kira It was his day off,
Kira's head was whirling
who would want to hurt Dad?
Orren what she had seen so far, she was convinced there had to be more than one person involved in the abduction
They disabled the security system, sneaked past the nuses station and took bad away without anyone noticing.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
Why did they need to take him?
They couldn't get anything out of unconscious man.
Could they be holding Dad as a hostage?
Was this whole thing targeted at her?
who could hate her this mach?
Santero kidnapped her once, but Austyn assured her he was shot dead in Trialdonia
Kira had beenwaying home all this while, minding her own busine
She didn't have any enemies.
Very few people even knew about her father-well!
Kira slugged off iste's hand on her shoulder and ached for her phone.
The call was picked up on the first ring
"Kia" on sounded surprised to hear from her
droWmy dad befowed into the plane
"What do you mean? Did something happento Leland?"
Drop the att!" Rica shrieked "Wheer's my father? What have you done with lam""
At this point, the mould bold back the fond of tears no longer
"If you want to see me, just telline,' she sobbed. "Why did you love to do this? Why did you take my father away

Kirahung up
A team of police officers bad and
They were now interviewing everyone who worked on this floor
But most of them were away during lunch hour

De Morrison was called into a room for questioning
A female officer comforted a while another piled her about Leland's connections and possible enemies
Kirateulds the them amthing
So far, the officers didn't have a workable lead to go on
When Gideon arrived, they were still canvassing the hospital grounds, looking for potential witnesses
Kira was huddled up in a chair with a blanket draped over her shoulders.
Elsie had gone to the cafeteria to fetch her some hot water and to try to get hold of Austin, who still had stemed any of Kira's calls, Khad her lowes drawnup She was rocking herself back and forth
Her eyes were led on the floor
