“What’s your name?”

To Evangeline, the Foster family’s little princess, bodyguards were just part of the furniture. Why bother remembering a bodyguard’s name? 

She was curious about this man who stood out from the rest. 

He stepped forward, bowing with a respect that was almost reverent. “Miss, I’m Spencer Clark,” he said. “Nice name,” complimented Evangeline without holding back, then turned her attention to the other three. 

“I’ve brought you here to talk about Lydia’s disappearance. She was your responsibility, and somehow, a person in a coma has managed to vanish on your watch without you guys noticing a thing?” 

She could not swallow that story. She wanted answers, and she wanted them immediately. 

Spencer’s face was full of regret as he began to explain. 

“We really dropped the ball, but it’s also incredibly odd. We’ve been keeping an eye on Miss Lydia without a hitch, but yesterday, when it mattered most, all four of us came down with something fierce. We were practically tripping over each other to get to bathroom.” 

Evangeline eyed the four of them. They were as pale as ghosts, clearly drained from their ordeal. 

“So, you left Lydia by herself in her room?” 

The explanation made Lydia’s vanishing act seem a bit less mysterious. She must have found her chance 

to bolt. 

“No way,” Spencer quickly clarified, “we’re aware of how important Lydia is, so we never all left for a bathroom break at the same time. Someone was always on guard outside her room. But after she went missing, I grilled all three of them, and nobody saw anything.” 

“This is just bizarre! How does someone like Lydia just disappear into thin air from a hospital? That’s impossible!” 

Evangeline was stumped, resting her chin in her hand, lost in thought. 

Spencer had a lightbulb moment and blurted out, “Miss, we should check the hospital’s security footage. Whether Lydia woke up or not, now that she’s gone, the hospital has to help us out and let us see the tapes.” 

Evangeline dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand. “If the culprit was bold enough to pull this off right under our watch, they’d have thought about the cameras. They’re probably covered. It’d be a waste of time to check. 

“What I can’t wrap my head around is, you guys were supposed to be watching Lydia all the time, right? If you didn’t see how she slipped away, didn’t you at least spot some weirdo or something?” 

“In a hospital, you’ve got doctors, nurses, and patients no room for weirdos.” Spencer was lost in his memories, mumbling to himself. 

What he did not realize was that Evangeline’s comment had just jogged the memory of a bodyguard
