Chapter 59 Snatched

• After a lot of urging from both Alexa and her trusty caretaker, Connie Markos the nurse practitioner, the duo had finally been able to send all visitors home. Alexa could see the exhaustion her family was trying to hide from her clear as day. The room had still been filled with a subtle, yet tangible tension and it was something she was going to get to the bottom of, but first, they needed as much rest as she did.
• Now alone she eventually agreed to take the mild sedative and painkiller Connie had been discreetly coercing her to take throughout the day. The sun had set not long after and the redhead settled back into her bed allowing the dull waves of false sleepiness to wash over her. Connie came to check on her one last time before clocking off for the day unknowingly leaving a window of opportunity open for an insidious plan.
• Dull-hickory-coloured eyes watched the caramel-skinned nurse as she cluelessly passed by the alcove he had stowed away in. Behind his brother sat awaiting his instructions with a large duffle bag in his grasp. Both the men wedged in the little niche they had found in the clinic wore simple black hoodies, jeans, and black boots. Hands were covered by leather black gloves and had surgical masks wrapped around their mouths and noses.
