Nikita

"Ma'am what is your name? And what is it that doctor pavlenko did or didnt do?" Officer Qiao asks again. Anyone can see he's getting tired of thai woman's theatrics. She had evry chance to tell us what i did or didnt do, but twenty minutes later, shees, I am a nuclear biomb. Everythgin in my lfie makes me want to murder people, and I'm not apologetic abtu that, btu this one, this is an attention seeker. Everything about her seems to be meant to distract us all. Fuck, distraction. She's here dustracting us, well ot us, byut me. Its only then that i realise i was coming from my room when she showed up. Maybe they want the memory card back. Well fuċk me.Officer Qiao is looking at me disapprovingly when i make it out of the elevator. I want to tell him that what I feel is expressed in how I look, but I dodnt really ahhve the stengrth. I want to ask him what he's doig here, but i dont. I'm not a suspect of anythgin, and i'm no informant wither. Whatever they culd want from me, they can getg kt pff the cctvher seems to be meant to distract us all. Fuck, distraction. She's here dustracting us, well ot us, byut me.

Well fuċk me.Officer Qiao is looking at me disapprovingly when i make it out of the elevator. I want to tell him that what I feel is expressed in how I look, but I dodnt really ahhve  and f they dodnt then there were so many people at the optical earlier. He can s ask them what happened. I walk past him, not evern bothering to greet him. I need to process what i just saw and this officer looks like the one person i dont want to see right now. I make my way to maggie at the reception. I know she's done with ehr shift and is just resting there. Maybe she can tell me a bedtime story or something about my parents and who could have had anything on them at the hospital. I want to knwo a lot of things, becaue that is the only way for me to make sense of what i just watchde.

"Hey Maggie—" I greet maggie but a familiar voice interrupts me. What the hell is going on now?

"Officer, it was him. I saw him" the woman in a hijab says as she pints at me. One look at her is enough to tell me she is not arabic and is just using that as a cover. It takes me a while but i remember eh voice. It is the voice that had been in my bed a few days ago. The one that drove me nuts and had me coming undone. It is the voice fo the woman who was laughing with my most trusted employee back home. Its the voice fo the woman who's got me asking so many questions that I have no answers for yet.

"Well excuse you too, whatever your name is. What o you want? Come to spy on me so you can go and tel, mommy? Huh?" I taunt and she smirks but it lasts only a few seconds. Wat is it with the women in my life anyway? She looks like she jist walked off a runway. Honsetly if she wasnt a suspect in my own case against her mtoehr, then I would have considered gign her a second look, but right now, she makes me want to puke. Officer Qiaon is watchin our interaction wit a constipated face. I want to tell him I understand how he feels but whats the point. We'rebroth trapped in a space ith a woman who claims to want justice for somwhtign that I didnt even know. Bored, i turn back to Maggie to continue our conversation.

"How are you today Maggie?" I ask my favorite nurse and as usual she just smiles at me. Now that i take a coer look at her, she had aged. She looks different. Her wrinkles are showing up even more and it feels like i'm about to lose another person i care about. I know i cant slow her ging, but damn the universe for taing everythgin from me. Now i only have Maggi and the woman looks like ehr days are numebred. I think maggies senses the worry on my face because she pinches my stiff cheeks. What is there to be pinched ayway/ either way, she gets her satisfaction and looks behind me to the woman who seems to be obsessed with me. I want to blast her to wherever, btu there are too many witnesses.

"C'mon child, dont worry. Fix this, only then will you e ale to fix anything that comes your way" Maggie tells me, her tired voice full o love. Thsi woman always knows what to say. I just smile at her and turn back to the bunch of chaos. Adjusting the stethoscope on my neck and dumping my face mask in the recycle bin, I feel I'm now ready to deal with t=woman. Officer Qiao looks at me, waiting for me to do anything, something, btu what am i supposed to do anyway? One thing is obvious. He ahd come to the hospital to see me, and this woman just happeend to show up. Othersswise, he wouldhave told me that i'm needed at the police station for questioningor whatever it is that they want with me this time. I smile a him, hoping he can help me understand what is happening here and he nods at me, somthgint that i'm suddenly so grateful for. The squadron that had come with Officer Qiao look at me, worried for some reason, but i have a feeling that the woman her is the least of my problems. Not even the vide i just watched could elicit such a reaction. Seems like together and forever has to be more than just a concept this time.

"Ma'am calm down and please explain what you mean" Officer Qiao says and I smirk at him. For a man who always loved bullets since childhood, he looks constipated by juts looking tt this woman. I understand him though. I want to tll him hell be okay, but he's an officer of the law, I shoudlnt be enocuragign him especially since he's always been a pain in my ȧss.

"Him, I saw him. He was there. He shudlnt have been there, but he was there" the oman insists and I want to punch the living daylights out of her.. "Patience Nikita", I remind myself for the tenth time since I saw this woman.
