Here is chapter fourteen, hope you all love it. I sure don't but it was the only thing I could come up with! I've been busy trying to decide whether I should finally post up my other Zammie fan fiction. I've been working on it for almost a year now and it still hasn't been posted. Thoughts?
Disclaimer: Ally Carter owns the entire Gallagher Girl world. Elementary the TV show owns the idea for this murder.
Charles Dubois was in the hospital, having his appendix removed. Liz thought that made him untouchable, but Macey and Zach thought otherwise. "It's the perfect opportunity," Macey smiled coolly, she wasn't enjoying this but she had always been great at pretending her smile was genuine.
Donning two brown wigs and striped knitted sweaters; Macey and I ascended the halls of the St Francis Hospital and rushed over to the front desk. "Is he alright?" Macey cried in a southern drawl that would put Liz's authentic accent to shame.
"Is who alright dear?" the receptionist asked, clearly fooled by Macey's perfected 'American Sweetheart' act.
"My uncle!" She held a hand to her heart as though holding back her anxiety, "I know he only came in for his appendix but that's tricky right? What if something went wrong? Oh Lord he's dying isn't he? Y'all been taking good care of him right?"
Macey stopped for a breather while the receptionist tried to process everything that had been said. My lips started to wobble and I blinked repeatedly. Macey placed both hands on the desk, "My sister was reading up on the processes and she found all this information on everything that could go wrong."
Tears started to leak out of my eyes, and the worried receptionist handed me a bunch of tissues. Of course, she was so taken in by Macey's over anxious act that she didn't even think it odd for us to be so worried over our 'uncle's' appendix surgery.
"Oh dears, if it will make you feel better I'll tell you which room he's in and you can go see him alright?" The kindly old receptionist smiled at us sympathetically, as though she understood how hard the ordeal was on us.
After thanking her profusely, we made our way up to room 164, not bothering to knock as we walked through the door and into his private room. Charles Duboise was still unconscious, but that was what we had been counting on.
I took the syringe filled with Epinephrine out of my bag and handed it to Macey, who shoved it into the IV tube. She turned down the rate of the infusion pump to 44cc's and then the two of us walked back out the door, thanked the receptionist again and were soon on our way to our destined meeting place. Lowering the pump had given us ten minutes until the monitor went off.
Exactly ten minutes later, the heart rate monitor started to wail and we all watched via a hidden camera as a doctor and two nurses rushed into the room. The checked the charts at the end of the patient's bed and spoke in low confused tones to one another. Finally, it was decided that all evidence pointed to a heart attack and that the surgery was possibly too much for his weak heart.
Not one person in the hospital beside the receptionist even remembers seeing two young girls headed towards the Charles Duboise's room. Even if they had, they, like the receptionist, never would have connected the two nieces to the death.
Two down, five to go.
Sorry Loves for another short chapter, the longer ones are coming soon I promise.
I really like all of the names so far! I'm going to write them all down for future reference if you don't mind. But only two have caught my eye for this character. Chinesegold recommended 'Alaya' which fits perfectly. And Guest recommended 'Sylvie' which I also like but I'm not sure if it suits the character.
The game is still afoot! Remember; try names without letters like 't' or anything that stops the flow of the name. Keep to names that mainly have letters like 'L', 'S' and lots of vowels. Like, 'Aiylee'.
Liela54352: Thank you! I adore the name Alyssa but you're right about it being too bubbly. This character is more of a depressed Luna Lovegood.

Niki.R.P: I'm going to hang your review up on my bedroom wall! Thank you so much, you just made my day.
