Dotson had returned to the ward, briefing the bodyguards outside.
Franco, who had woken up and started recovering over the past few days, was aware of the plan.
Hearing Dotson’s report, he felt a twinge of disappointment but remained silent.
The hospital was eerily silent, especially after nightfall.
The fire from the previous night made tonight even quieter.

Tyshawn, dressed in a doctor's uniform with a hat and mask, walked down the corridor.
