an: k, here's chapter four. I really wish I was getting more review for this. I really think it's one of my best!
Éclair held her breath as she came up to the Hospital secretary window, Un-oh close on her heels. She approached a young woman who looked about as old as she (or, what Éclair appeared to be…). The woman looked very overly interested with the task of filing her nails. Éclair approached her and cleared her throat loudly. The woman glanced up over her spectacles and, setting the filer down, and… tossing her blonde hair; folded her hands and casted a semi-interested gaze upon the brunette.
"May I help you, Miss?"
"Yes, I'm here to visit a patient."
She flipped her chair toward her computer to her right and began to type. "Name?"
"Oh! I'm Éclair and this is…"
She looked up from her screen. "I MEANT the patient!"
"Oh! Haha! Right…." She felt her face flush a bit from embarrassment and lowered her brow in anger when she heard Un-oh snicker a bit behind her.
Un-oh, I will get you back for that, I swear!
"Ma'am?"
"Oh sorry again…it's Lemons, Edward Lemons."
She couldn't see the woman's expression but she very faintly heard the woman stop typing and draw in a deep breath. She stood up abruptly, her face solemn and serious.
"Excuse me for a moment. I have to just go verify this with my boss. Please wait here."
She saw her turn the corner and heard a door close. She could vaguely make out the woman's voice in the other room; however, she could not catch a THING that was being said. If only she could hear….
Wait! Hear! That's it!
She turned to Un-oh whom had his arms folded and eyes tightly closed. She bit her bottom lip softly. Obviously Un-oh had been waaaay ahead of her on this one. She cleared her throat softly.
"Can you hear anything Un-oh?"
He opened one eye and shushed her and closed it just as quick all while still keep his same posture. She studied him very closely. Come to think of it, she really had never stood this close to him before….well, perhaps when the two were engaged in combat, but that really didn't count…her eyes traveled to his pointed ears. There was some strange part of her that wanted to reach out and touch them. She took a step backward and held the urge as far back as she could. Like hell, she'd want to touch Un-oh anyhow…
His eyes suddenly flew open, startling her a bit.
"Hey! Give warning next time you're gonna do that!"
"She's coming back Éclair."
Éclair's face switched from shocked to serious as she turned back around just in time for the lady to come around the corner and greet them with her dull look plastered upon her face.
"I'm sorry, but Dr. Lemons isn't accepting any visitors right now."
"What? You're kidding right?"
"I'm not kidding Ma'am. Due to confidential issues, Dr. Lemons is not nor anytime soon allowed to speak with anyone. I'm sorry."
Éclair slammed her fist on the table, startling both Un-oh and the lady. "I won't accept that! I need to speak with him! People's lives are at stake!"
"I'm sorry Miss, but rules are rules."
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE STUPID RULES! I NEED to speak with him as soon as possible."
"Ma'am I'm sorry, you cannot. Now, if you do not have any other specific reason for lingering, I have work to do before I clock-out for the day."
"Like what? Filing your nails? You people just don't get it! This is an emergency! You HAVE to let me speak with Edward Lemons! Please! I beg you!"
"Ma'am, if you would please leave now, I won't have to resort to calling security."
"Go ahead! Call them! Maybe they'll understand what it means to have lives at stake!"
The woman started to reach for the phone when Un-oh stepped up.
"Ahem, hey, sorry to be such a bother." He reached over and grabbed Éclair by the wrist firmly. "Listen, we'll be leaving now so there's really no need to get the police involved. Well, thanks anyways for your help. Bye!"
He yanked at Éclair whom gave a surprising yelp. "What? NO! Un-oh!"
He pulled her aside around the corner in which she easily released herself from his grasp.
"What's the matter with you? We have to interrogate Edward Lemons no matter what! Why did you drag me off like that?"
"You're forgetting Éclair, we are GOTT members still. Imagine what it'll look like if we had the police dragged over here and were put to arrest for starting a riot? Now, heh, if that don't earn an expel from the GOTT, I don't know what will."
She cast her gaze down at her feet. "I'm sorry…but I just know that if we talk to him, we'll find some answers. I can feel it."
"We'll talk to him Éclair, don't worry. Even if we got nothin', I'm sure the other two did alright..."
She sighed. "I sure hope so..."
an: ugh, I can't believe how short this chapter is...I couldn't help it. I started to doze due to it being sooooo late. I hope the next is longer. Also, funfact, Dr. Lemons was the name on an OLD OLD OLLLLD grave that sits out in the country where my uncle lives. No one really knows what exactly is buried there and how the grave came to be but it says: Dr. Lemons. Just thought I'd share XD
