As dusk fell, a chilly breeze began to howl, casting an eerie shadow over the hospital.
Benjamin was holed up in the lab, working his fingers to the bone on a paternity test. Tarquin had dropped off the samples earlier that afternoon, but then Elijah had taken a turn for the worse. Benjamin had been by Elijah's side, fussing over him until he was called away for an emergency surgery. Now, with time ticking away, he was scrambling to get the paternity test done.
If the results weren't ready by tomorrow, Tarquin was going to have a fit.
So, there he was, burning the midnight oil, when suddenly, the lab lights flickered.
Then, they flickered again!
Before Benjamin could figure out what was going on, a gust of cold air swept through the lab, and the lights went out completely, startling him!
A nurse came running, "Dr. Benjamin, there's a patient in Room 8 throwing up non-stop, it's pretty bad. You need to check it out."
Benjamin got up in a hurry. "I'll go take a look. Have someone check the lab's electrical system. I've got work to finish here tonight."
"Okay."
As Benjamin hurried off to the ward, a shadowy figure slipped into the lab through the window.
Evan whispered, "Bro, I'm in."
Elliot, orchestrating from afar, instructed, "Good. Do exactly as I showed you. There's someone by the lab door, so be careful and keep it down."
"Got it."
Meanwhile, in the shadows of the hospital, a sinister figure lurked. He glanced towards Elijah's room and then back at the lab, chuckling to himself, "My boy's doing quite well!"
...
In her room, Elysia received a message from an unknown sender.
Little Elysia, need a hand with the paternity test?
Elysia frowned. Who are you?
Remember, it's not about who I am, but what I know. And I know your secret. I can help you.
Elysia's heart raced. Could it be him? The mysterious person from the other night, who had also sent her information about the paternity test?
