".... It was never personal."

Bullshit

You open your eyes, getting almost being blinded by the white lights. There was a pain in you're stomach. The events that caused it still played in your soar head. It smells like bleach, and oddly, old people. The beep of a heart monitor could be faintly heard. An IV bag was flowing to your wrist. While deciding to pull it out or not, your focus changes to the sudden voice coming from outside the wooden door.

"The surgery was successful, she should be waking up anytime now. "

"Thanks doctor, I'll just change her IV then. "

"Hey, be careful, you don't know if the person shot her for a good reason. "

'You and me both brother' you thought to yourself

"Don't worry about me Howard, you get back to work now" She said with a chuckle

soon after the door opened, you didn't make any move to show her you're awake, not knowing if the women could be trusted. It's quite hard to tell these days. peering at her through your eyelashes you saw She had opened up a container that was set on the small table by the window. Looked like she pulled out a new IV bag. Probably to do the shit she just said she was gonna do. The lady came up to your left side and pulled the needle and tape out of your wrist. Right after, you grabbed her arm giving her a scare. Not your problem as you put a hand over this lady's mouth to muffle the scream. This action made the pain in your stomach increase. Fuckin adler, you wanted to know why, why even after you saved literally the word for him, he still tried to kill you. And why he didn't finish the fucking job.
'Coward'
No, you have bigger problems right now.

"I'm gonna remove my hand now. " You did so

"Now where the fuck am I, and how did I get here? " Keeping your words monotone

"I- you're at a hospital! "
She basically cried, she was scared. Pathetic

"Oh really, I couldn't tell. Where at woman!" The sarcasm was unnecessary, but so was her not calming down

When you removed your grip on her arm she started to back away into the table

"Reno, um, Nevada"

"America" You whispered, you where confused at this point "how did I get here? " You looked up at her

"I don't know some guy just dropped you off, h-he said you needed help and left. " She was stumbling over her words

"So you stitched me up? " You raised an eyebrow at her

"Well not me personally, uh you had poorly done bandaging when you got here, the bullet was even still there"

'That explains why I didn't bleed out on my way to fuckin AMERICA!  how did I get here. Did adler send me here? It doesn't make sense.'

"Okay then , where is my shit. "

"Oh! It's out in the hallway let me go get it"

'Liar'

"Sure it is" You watched her run out the door, pulling up your scrubs type shirt to see a bandage on your stomach as soon as she left the room
You stood up to get a better look around the place. Instantly regretting this decision you felt the pain increase again and grabbed onto the side of the bed. Soon catching a steady stride you walked around the room, looking at possible ways to get out if need be.

You walked up to the window peering outside. It was sunny. There was a lot of buildings, and everything was brown.

'So it's hot and dry.... Nice'

You notice there is a bathroom so you go to investigate that next. You stop in your slow pained tracks as the door suddenly opens. You see a very tan slightly attractive guy, looked to be in his late 30s. He was carrying a plastic bag in his hand. Presumably your said shit.

"Well hi there, I'm Dr. Howard Miller. " He looked like a Chad with that fake ass smile and wave
you decided not to reply and just study his face and body language

"Okay then, what's your name young lady"

'Young lady? I can't possibly be... Any younger than...... 20? My name. Don't recall that either. Fuck. '

"Where is my stuff. "

"Ah, I have it right here! " He lifts the bag. "And you can have it, if you tell me your name. "

'Jesus'

"Bell, now give it. " Talking as you reach for the bag. Unfortunately he pulled it away, not like you could do anything about it, someone just had to shoot you and that restricted your movement.

"I ment your full name. " He had a big smile, made you want to smack the crap out of him.

'I don't know my full fucking name you piece of shit'

"Isabell uuh adler. " Instantly regretting your quick thinking

'Oh fuck no. Why would I say that. Why can't he leave my stupid head'

"There we go!" Shut the fuck up " Here you can have this now. " He handed me the plastic bag and a few papers with it

"What is this for. "  He stopped smiling so much

" Your going to need to fill the first one out with all of your information, and insurance information is on the last paper. While you are doing that I will grab some food, you are probably hungry. "

'Fuck'

"Uhuh" And with that he was back out the door leaving you alone in this depressing room. " I'm gonna need to get out of here" You whispered thinking out loud.

After throwing the papers on the table you pour out all the contents of the bag on the hospital bed.

'Green turtle neck. Oh look a bullet hole, charming. Button up jacket, camo pants, a bandana, my knife, ..... Shit ton of blood. Great'

You change into your gear as quickly as you can trying to not inflict pain of your wound in the process. When you finish you walk up to the wondow. As you see that it's just a straight shot down, no ledge and you are like on the 8th floor that may not be the best method down.

'That doctor is coming back. I'll just take him out and leave.'

You decide to hide in the bathroom seeing as it's right next to the door.

Waiting

'Jesus is their food in China? '

After some more extensive waiting you hear footsteps, then the door proceeds to open

"Miss Adler" Oh god no " I got you some toast and pudding, also the police have a few questions for you I can send them up when you're don-"

You come up behind him and put your arm around his neck and the other hand on his mouth making him drop the food. You didn't kill him, you just kept him there long enough for him to pass out. When he went limp you dragged him into the bathroom, grabbed his key card and shut the door.

'Police huh, not a problem'

You gave the room a final look and then went for the door. You stuck just your head out to see a hallway this room being one of many. 

'Pretty quiet'

You decide to exit the room and go right.

The hallway never seemed to end.

'What the fuck is this'

"Bell" Adler?

Your eyes snap shut and you put you head in your hands

"BELL! " Perseus.

"Turn around bell"
 
You open your eyes and turn to see a red door

'Not again, please Adler not again'

You turn back and sprint down the hallway  ignoring the pain.
It seems to get longer, but suddenly stops.
Every thing stopped

An unexpected pain abruptly shot throughout your head, your hands immediately went to hold it as you screamed in pain

"You know I trust you, but I need to ask, are you having second thoughts? "

"There is nothing to cause such feelings, sir. "

"Good comrade, because if for any reason project greenlight shall not work, we are going to need a backup plan and I need to be able to trust you. "

"Right, the Americans are stupid but we must never underestimate an enemy. What do you suggest. "

"I have-......... -katya-........ -we have a meeting tomorrow, I will see you there."

"See you, sir. "

You where breathing heavily

'Who's Katya, what was the backup plan'

You look around

"It's just a normal hallway" Thinking out loud, reassuring yourself, you see a normal, hospital, hallway.

"What the fuck is wrong with me" You continue to walk down the hallway holding your stomach, you eventually see an elevator, step in, and travel to the lobby.

'Who is Katya'

'What is Perseus gonna do? '

'I need to tell Adler'
