Late In The Night
4 Days Earlier
"So the mother's okay now right?" the nurse was asking her companion as they reached the nurse's station.
"Just fine, though I don't know if I would be after giving birth to three, you have to admire her," the other nurse replied.
"Alright, well, I'm going to stop and see these triplets before I head home. I'll see you tomorrow Sheryl," the first nurse said.
"See you Lacey," the second nurse replied with a smile. She watched the woman go, and sat at the desk, finishing up some paperwork from the deliveries she had assisted with that morning. Since no one came in for another delivery, she decided to follow her co-worker's example, and went to the nursery to look in on the babies. She smiled when she saw they were all asleep, but seeing the lone girl out of the four there were made her suddenly frown.
Leaving as quickly as she could to go back to her desk so she could get ready to leave, she was just passing a janitor's closet when she was suddenly pulled inside, letting out a quick squeak of surprise as the door closed once she was inside, plunging her in darkness with her abductor. His lips brushing against her made her relax and smile widely, and she sighed as he drifted back to her ear. "Johnny, why didn't you tell me you were coming?" she asked, starting to turn.
"Like this," her lover said, turning her back to the door. "Remember that game of cards you lost?"
"You want to call that bet in now?" the woman asked, her eyes wide in surprise though her heart was beating eagerly in the anticipation and taboo of the moment.
"Of course," the lover said, pulling the bottom of her smock shirt up.
Sighing as she felt his hands sliding up below her undershirt though they were covered in gloves, the nurse leaned back against her lover, wondering how much she had changed in so short a time; having only known the man a week. But she had found herself quickly needing him after only a few days together. She arched her back as he brushed his lips over the side of her neck, and she raised her chin to give him better access. She felt something cold against her skin, and was about to turn when there was a flash of pain and that was all she knew.
Watching her body crumple to the floor, the man was quiet, waiting for the sound of anyone running to the closet. He straightened his "borrowed" janitor's uniform and straightening the wig and mustache he put on, he left the closet. His posture was relaxed, and he went down the hall to the elevator with a broom in hand to continue his affectation.
Entering the elevator car, the first scream reached his ears, followed by a second and a panicked yell to call the police. The doors closed on his taking his phone out of his pocket; the job was done.
