The More the Merrier

“Excuse me, did you all see those mysterious men in black? They’re bad guys. They must be here to catch us. If they ask you guys if you’ve ever seen us, please don’t tell them! Or else my grandma and I will die in their hands!” Tears and snot streamed down Tim’s face as he said pitifully. It was a sight that could easily cause one to be sympathetic.

“Don’t be afraid. We’ll keep your presence a secret. Go find a place to hide for now.” The nurses felt their hearts ached for him and agreed to his plea readily as they ruffled his head.

“Thank you! Thank you so much!” With that, Tim darted away.

While no one noticed him, he scuttled back into the ward.

“Grandma, I’ll help you to the restroom. We’ll head to the hospital later.”

In truth, Tim had asked around and knew there would be a vehicle heading to the hospital to collect IV drips. He figured they would be able to tag along without paying any fares.

“All right.” Mary followed Tim to the restroom.

Just as they headed in, some bodyguards came over.

Holding onto a snapshot of Tim, the guard questioned, “Has anyone seen this child?”

“No,” Hearing that reply, he threw another question. “Then, have you seen this old lady?”

“No.”
