"Good morning Nadine hope you slept well?"Dr Dave asked once he spotted her entering the hospital looking radiant in her uniform.
"Yes, but I feel bad about the dead guy. Something tells me that I know him"she signed,her eyes emitting fear as they walked to the elevator together.
"I'll not force you to check out the guy and if you feel bad about it, stay back"he replied knowing fully well that her gut feelings never lie and didn't want to pressurize her.
He squeezed her hand in a reassuring way before holding her in his embrace,his actions effectively putting her at ease .
"No I'll check the body out, as promised. Don't worry about me"she said as they got out of the elevator at the sixth floor of the hospital building.
Dave walked her towards the female dressing room and stopped once they got to the door post.
"I'll be in my office incase you're ready to go to the autopsy room"he flashed her a smile before turning to leave,which gave her the feelings of butterflies in her stomach.
"Dave sure knows how to take my breath away."she mumbled under her breathe, purely mesmerized by the guy who makes her heart skip abit every now and then.
Going through her locker,she came across an envelope " who could have sent this to me and for what reason?" she asked herself, before picking it up with shaky hands and uneasiness.
"NADINE WHY HAVE YOU SUDDENLY RETURNED AND INTERESTED IN THIS SERIAL MURDER CASE"it read leaving her all sweaty and scared to the marrows. Her legs could no longer hold her up and she slumped into one of the beds breathing heavily.
Dr Dave was the only that knew about her interest in the serial case and had the passcode to her locker.
"Does it mean he's the killer and doesn't know that he is, because maybe he suffers from multiple personality disorder?"she thought utterly shaken and unable to comprehend the turn out of events.
Having left the dressing room, she rushed to Dave's office and opened the door slightly to see him holding a scalpel with a scary look on his face.
"What is Dave doing?"she asked noone in particular.
"Are you blind or faking not to see that he's holding a scalpel like he is going to kill someone"her mind mocked her, making her recurl back and curse under her breathe.
"Can you shut up and let me think"she fired back.
"What are you doing here Nad, come in"she heard Dave's voice and looked up to see his tall figure looming over hers. His face was inches away from her face, making her wonder how he got to tell that she was there.
Nadine's eyes widened as she backed away from him,her heart racing.She turned around and took to her heels leaving him flabbergasted. He wondered what he did wrong as he followed her.
"What's the problem Nad"he asked once he spotted her bent forward at the middle of the hallway panting.
"Holy Lord"she screamed, her hand on her chest as she turned swiftly to face him.
"Lord he's freaking me out"Her thoughts swirled in chaos as she stared at him ,her mind screaming for answers.
"I heard that"he replied with his blue eyes staring deeply into hers,shoulders sagged.
"Am I hallucinating now? Dave heard my thoughts, he might be the killer"she thought yet again, earning a frown from him.
"What are you saying Nadine, wow you think I'm the killer?"he asked totally unable to hold back his disappointment as his voice rose in tempo.
"You've known me for two freaking years and knows that this killer has been killing people even before we met. Woah, I thought you understood my plight and could relate. Thank you so much for this "he spat out with his hands twitching. Without wasting anymore time,he turned on his heels and left holding back the hot tears welling up in his eyes.
"Dave! Dave!"she called out and rushed after him, feeling guilty. This was the first time of him shouting at her and surely he was hurt,but she couldn't understand his behavior.
