Chapter Eight?
Nate looked behind the corner, sighing when he didn't see the familiar blonde. He was hoping she didn't do anything stupid. He could already hear Sophie screaming at him for losing her. It was too dangerous for the blonde to freelance. Cowl could be on to them. The man killed before to keep people's silence. Parker didn't answer her earbud, and Hardison couldn't track it.
Hardison frantically looked through all the security feed.
"I followed her coming out of Remy's room, going out of ward four, and then she went into a zone without cameras. After that, I guess she went into an air vent because she's nowhere. Literally nowhere. I'm still combing through all the footage, but this was hours ago. She could be anywhere. We don't have the time to look at every camera from every single minute," he said to the rest of the team.
"She'll be fine. We will find her," Sophie reminded everyone as Eliot and her speed-walked towards Remy's room.
The brunette patient was flipping through the channels when the grifter and hitter quickly came in, closing the sliding doors behind them.
"Where's Alice?" Eliot barked at the woman. Remy shrugged not paying them any attention. He took the remote from her and turned off the TV, "Alice is missing, and the last person she talked to was you. Where is she?"
"As I gestured before, I don't know."
Eliot glared at her, "What were you talking about before she left?"
"I don't recall having to reveal personal conversation with a med doctor."
"I'm not playing with you," he growled.
Sophie sat down on the woman's bed, "Did this conversation involve Dr. Crane? Because I do believe you, Remy." Remy looked at the patterns in her covers, avoiding the statement. "He can't get away with hurting people like that, and I think that Alice knows that. Do you think she might have gone after him?"
Remy nodded, "I was mad at her, and I told her to get Dr. Crane attention herself."
"Do you think you can help us find her?" Remy nodded once more, "Where does he like to have his patients?"
"He usually drugged us so much that I couldn't even remember my name. One time I guess he didn't give me enough because it wore off. I remember it being the furnace room. I would always smell something burning."
Sophie smiled at her before, Eliot and her searched the basement for the furnace. The two of them swept the entire area twice, and there were no signs of Parker. They started heading back when Cowl stopped them.
"I heard you're looking for, Alice. Oh, I'm sorry, you might be more familiar with Parker."
Hardison knocked over his laptop as he started running towards the hospital.
"Hardison, don't. I know you're concerned, but we can handle this," Nate said towards the hacker's labored breathing. "Follow plan J."
"I'm not going to leave her in there with a killer."
"Hardison, right now, she needs us to finish this. Do it, or none of us will be getting out of here."
The hacker sighed and walked back to Lucille. He placed his laptop down, then gathered everything into a file. "Done, now what do you want me to do?"
"Now, we call detective Bonanno."
