Chapter 4 - Hired assassin

"I will provide you with all the necessary information so there is no need to worry. I will monitor her movements and inform you of her whereabouts within a two-week timeframe. To ensure success, I plan on communicating with doctors to have her released in time and convincing the father that she's under safe supervision. Here's what we'll do: You'll pose as a delivery man, presenting an oversized package 'ordered' for her which requires assistance carrying inside; then distract & incapacitate by using drugged clothes before terminating quietly via pistol (maintaining discretion given our recent release)." Drake spoke softly but resolutely behind closed doors."

"Sounds mediocre," he chuckled. "Believe me, what's the cost?" The sharp tone of an unfamiliar voice inquired.

Drake whispered, "I require it to be completed within two weeks at most. What price do you propose?"

The unfamiliar voice stated "Five thousand dollars" calmly and without any hint of surprise.

Feeling anxious, Drake stated that he would increase the payment to 6000 if the task was completed within two weeks.

"This kind of business is my favourite. You can count on me to take care of it. Please keep me in the loop regarding her hospital discharge," stated the unknown voice, gathering his belongings from the table as if preparing to depart for a destination.

Drake asked the barman for his bill and then expressed his concern about having a difficult time convincing her dad to leave with a smile, adding that she would also be leaving today.

"The total comes to $450, sir," added the bartender.

After paying, he rushed to the hospital and arrived precisely at 7:35. Upon entering Andy's room, something caught his attention - she appeared much improved and no longer required intravenous fluids. Absorbed in conversation on her cellphone with a boyfriend, she failed to notice Drake walking in until it was too late. Perhaps sensing his presence upon sight of him suddenly before her eyesight led Andy to feel apprehensive; "I'll call you back," she said abruptly as if nervous before ending things between them for now so that they could chat later... Her gaze towards Drake seemed intense yet uncertain – almost like trying desperately but failing hopelessly to read what lay behind those emotional barricades within himself!

"Hey," he greeted, circumventing eye contact with Andy. "Is your dad around?" He inquired while appearing concerned.

"He expressed some disappointment upon learning about my pregnancy. I informed him that it was from my boyfriend, but he grew upset as he didn't even recognize what my partner looked like. However, Andy needed to leave urgently for work due to an emergency call and because they were discharging me later that evening. Home is where I yearn."

He thought to himself, "I never expected it to be this easy. It's like getting two pieces of good news at once." A wide smile appeared on his face that he couldn't contain.

She asked, "What's making you happy?"

"I'm grinning because I recalled my mother's words from yesterday." He replied, concealing his amusement as he spoke. "Could you repeat what you just said?"

Angry, Andy stated, "You don't care. Forget it."

He spoke kindly and requested, "Alright. Prepare your belongings so I can give you a ride back home."

"Shocked, Andy asked, "Really?"

With a forced grin, he expressed his desire to locate the dwelling where his soon-to-be-born infant would be residing while attempting to maintain cordiality.

In comes the doctor.

"The next step, Miss Andy, is for you to sign some paperwork and begin your antenatal care promptly. Your card contains the necessary dates and times that you should attend appointments. Please remember to prioritize self-care by engaging in regular exercise routines, avoiding excess stress, and consuming a healthy diet with plenty of fruits. As this may be your first pregnancy experience, don't hesitate to contact our helpline if any questions arise," said the doctor cheerfully.

With happiness, Andy expressed gratitude.
