Jayden went to the wardrobe, took out his leather jacket and his pistol, smiled at it, and placed it in his back pocket. When he looked back at Amy, she was already dressed in her leather coat.
"So quick" Jayden smiled
"Do you want me to be slower in dressing?" she asked as she started taking off her coat seductively.
"Ah… I…" Jayden stammered. He knew he had to say no, but for how long would he need to flee temptation? Shouldn't he just yield once and for all?
"Hush!" Amy moved closer to him, touched his lips, and was about to kiss him, he jerked his head, dodging her kiss and her head rested on his neck.
He embraced her. "Look, Amy, it's never going to work between us. We have to keep work strictly professional" Jayden convinced her, and she let herself off his grip immediately, staring at him in dismay.
She gave a very loud laugh for a few seconds and then, she seized it immediately, giving Jay a really creepy stern look, then, she flounced out of the room.
Jayden signed and continued packing up his weapons.

"Nurse Kate, can you please get me a candy on your way out?" The doctor gestured some money at her colleague, Kate.
"I thought you always had some with you?" Kate took the money
"I lost them, I bumped into someone, and they all spilled off my bag and got misplaced"
"Hmm, you bumped into someone? A man right?" Kate teased, and the doctor just blushed. "Aww! Just like in the movies. Who is that lucky guy? It's written all over your face that he's handsome and hot"
"Extremely babe, extremely. He is down to earth. Everything I have ever dreamed of in a man"
"Wow, tell me more."
"Stop it, Kate!" She muttered shyly
"What? Tell me joor! I am no stranger"
"That was my first time meeting him, and I am not sure if I'd meet him again," She said imaginary
"Aww! You are swooning over his cuteness"
"Jeez! He had blue eyes that looked so natural. This brow is thick and carved. His lashes… When he blinks, he looks so innocent. He has side boxes! His lips are indescribable. He is just everything I imagined" The doctor said absorbed in her memories.
"Aw! You noticed that much about him, in how many minutes."
"Yeah it was that obvious but…" she paused and frowned "… he was shot".
"Haven't you heard? Short men intend to be more romantic and faithful than the tall, proud ones."
"No, I mean, he was shot in his arm"
"Shot? Like shot with a gun?"
"Yeah! He even had an ear amplifier" My mind is blank!"
"What is he? A soldier? A police officer?"
"A gangster? An armed robber? A spy? I am in a dilemma. He never wanted to go to the hospital."
"That means he would rather not get caught. Sis, you need to snap out of it immediately. He is a criminal and should be reported or, better still, ignored"
"It's fine. I'm sure I won't see him again so, just forget it"
"You girls have been talking for over thirty minutes now!" One of the senior staff barked. "Dr. Shirley, don't you have patients to attend to? You are out of your duty post talking about a man?"
"I'm so sorry, sir" She was about to hurry away when he called back,
"Finish your duty and meet me in my office immediately" He yelled and left.
"That man deserves a slap." Nurse Kate softly.
"Please go get my candy…" Shirley said, putting on her white coat and hurrying into the ward.

"I'm ready. Let's go" Amy said trying to avoid Jayden's eyes as they were about to step out on a mission.
"Look Amy I…"
"Keep your explanations to yourself" She interrupted.
"Amy…"
"Please don't say another word,"
Jayden sighs. "Ok…let's go" He took his bag pack, wore it, and put on his face cap and nose mask so he could hide his identity. Same did Amy and they left the domicile.
