"I—I'm sorry, sir. They said it was a false alarm. Wrong information from the internal medicine team. I, uh, told the others not to come. I apologize for not calling you back sooner, I was… I was busy handling it."
Olisa's brows drew together, suspicion sparking. The explanation almost made sense.
Almost.
But something about the man's shaky voice felt off. Too shaky. Too rehearsed. Too… scared?
He narrowed his eyes, his tone turning sharp and clinical. "What exactly did you say was the emergency again?"
The room around him felt suddenly colder. Something wasn't adding up.
The "resident" stuttered, but before he could get a full sentence out, a loud crackling swallowed the line. Shhhhhhjjjj—
"Hel-hello? Sir? I… I can't hear you clearly!" the man blurted, his voice jumping in fake panic. "You know what? Let's discuss this another day. Bye!"
Tu tu tu.
The call ended just like that.
