In the hospital's men's restroom, the man who looked like Charles Gray glanced at the man with curly hair and a black suit slumped on the toilet bowl. Even with an expensive suit, one could see that the man had been through the vicissitudes of life because of his harsh features and the deep lines etched on his forehead.
'Charles Gray' had changed into faded denim jeans and a snug blue polo shirt. He then picked up the worn-out black jacket from the unconscious man. After locking the cubicle door, he used the man's legs as a step to climb out.
He took a cheap-looking cell phone from his pocket and sent someone a message.
'It is done. The phoenix has shed its feathers. -D'
He waited. After a while, his cell phone dinged. He received a reply.
'Good. Get out of there and go back to the base in Lireya. Wait for me there.'
The man swiftly left the restroom as a group of medical interns entered, quickly donning a surgical mask as he went.
