Rose walked pass the cafe and slipped into the restroom next door.
With a swift lock of the stall door, she fished out a secondary phone from her purse and shot off a text to a certain someone, "Is the VIP patient set for discharge at month's end?"
The reply came swiftly, "Just got back to the institute, not clued in yet. Will update you."
"Counting on you, Letho. I'll make it worth your while once this is all over."
Before a response could ping back, Rose pocketed the phone and headed straight to the cafe, ordering two coffees with Rosalynn's preferences in mind.
As she left, a prickle of awareness crept up her spine, the sense of being watched. She cast a quick glance around.d2
People bustled by, but nothing suspicious caught her eye.
Shaking off the feeling, she chalked it up to her nerves playing tricks on her.
With a deep breath, she quickened her pace back to Rosalynn, coffees in hand.
Meanwhile, at the institute, Dr. Penn Lange gathered the medical staff caring for Wayne Silverman.
"I've got good news," he announced. "After a comprehensive review, Mr. Silverman's condition has improved remarkably. At his family's request, he'll be temporarily concluding his treatment to return to H Country by the end of the month."
The staff buzzed with surprise.
"Dr. Lange, while Mr. Silverman's made tremendous progress, isn't the end of the month a bit soon for discharge?"
