Chapter 713 - Trouble in LA Medical Center (3)

~ LA Medical Center, VIP room ~

Felix is looking at the time. 'Sarah was supposed to be here by now.'

He felt awkward that he is just sitting there and waiting for someone to enter. Sarah and Aiden, hopefully.

Felix wants to go in the bathroom and be with Sophia, she must be anxious now, but he knows that he should not do that.

Right now, he is a guard, and he will not let anyone go past him into that bathroom. No one gets close to Sophia and his baby daughter.

Ah, if only JoAnna is here. She would dispel any crazy thoughts about fake doctors and nurses.

Felix finds it strange that since that nurse told them to wait for additional tests, no one came to check on them. That was more than half an hour ago. Before that, nurses and doctors were taking turns examining Sophia and there was no more than a minute or two long breaks between exams. Something is definitely off.

And he still can't get a hold of Ryan or Levi. Felix is confident that something happened. He can only hope that those two are OK. Their phones are ringing, but they are not picking up. That is not like them. Something happened…

There was a light knock on the door.

"Sophia Hill?", male voice called when the door of the VIP room opened.

Felix felt a jolt when he realized that it's not Sarah or Aiden. He inhaled. 'It begins.'

Felix saw three men and a woman enter the room. Three of them look like medical staff and the fourth one is a… janitor? That does not look right. Why would a janitor enter at the same time with medical staff? Felix confirmed that these are definitely shady characters who want to harm them.

"Sophia Hill?", male voice repeated. It is Lazo dressed up as a doctor.

"That would be my wife.", Felix answered.

"We are here to perform additional tests on the patient." Lazo explained.

Felix nodded telling Lazo that he understands. "She is in the restroom. It might take a while. I suggest you come back later."

"No worries, no worries. As a patient in VIP room, we are more than happy to wait." Lazo smiled while his gaze didn't leave Felix.

"Will he go and clean up another restroom and come back later, or will he also wait?", Felix pointed at the janitor (Pavle).

Pavle clutched the broom he was holding onto. "I can wait few minutes. I will treat it as a break."

"Do you need to wait inside room?", Felix asked Pavle.

Pavle glanced nervously at Lazo, unsure how to answer.

They came with intention to beat up the husband and subdue Sophia. But since Sophia is not in sight, they need to play along until she comes out of the bathroom. After all, she is Milena's daughter, and they don't want to alert her in advance. Who knows what weapons she has on her? They need to catch her unprepared. Others don't know what to do, but they know that they will play their roles until Lazo gives them the signal that it's time to attack.

"You can wait outside." Lazo told Pavle. "We will call you in when the bathroom is free for cleaning."

Pavle frowned slightly and walked outside. He didn't like that Lazo told him he will be called back to clean the bathroom. Why did he get the lousiest disguise? 'Next time, I will be a doctor.'

"What kinds of tests you want to perform on my wife?" Felix noticed that they don't have an intention to attack, so he decided to talk with them and stall for time.

"What?" Lazo was confused.

"You said that you are here to perform additional tests." Felix reminded him.

Lazo thought for a second before responding vaguely. "Mostly bloodwork."

"My wife needs bloodwork tests?"

"Yes." Lazo glanced at Simo who is dressed as lab technician. "It seems that patient's previous results got mixed up, so we want to re-do them and make sure everything is in order before she is discharged. You can't be too careful when you are dealing with a pregnant patient."

"I see. But Sophia didn't do any bloodwork tests today." Felix said with a smirk.

Lazo was stunned. He was happy that his phone was ringing. "Just a moment… Yes?"

Mila's voice came from the other end with urgency: "Sarah Hill is here. She is in the elevator, heading up with five other guys. One is the younger White boy. Leave. Now. And don't let them capture you." She hanged up.

A minute ago, Mila saw Sarah and five guys heading from the reception to the elevator and panicked. Everyone in their group is aware that Sarah is not someone to be taken lightly. If they manage to capture Lazo and his team, Mila might be exposed. And she does not want that to happen. After all, it was not easy to get a job in LA Medical Center.

Up in the VIP room, Lazo kept his phone down and glanced at Mari and Simo. "There is an urgent case. We need to go right away." He glanced at Felix. "We will be back later, after we take care of this critical case."

Lazo walked out in large strides, and Mari and Simo followed closely behind.

Felix is confident that the call which doctor received was from someone who warned him that Sarah is coming, and that is why they left. Will he just let them leave? Can he start a fight knowing that Sophia is in that bathroom and she needs protection?

…

Sarah and Aiden got out of the elevator followed by four bodyguards and they saw three people rush through the door at the end of the hallway which leads to the staircases.

They ran that way, and saw Felix grabbing onto bewildered janitor who was staring after three people who dashed behind him.

It took a moment for Pavle to react and start fighting Felix off.

"Help him!" Sarah told Aiden and turned to the bodyguards: "Stay here and make sure my sister is safe."

"Where are you going?", Aiden grabbed Sarah's arm, preventing her from going toward the staircase exit.

"I will not fight. I just want to make sure they are gone.", Sarah assured Aiden.

Aiden let go of Sarah's arm and went to help Felix.

Sarah ran toward the door at the end of the hallway. She leaped over Pavle and Felix who tussled on the ground. Sarah could see that Felix got few clean hits, but Pavle is a tough guy.

Sarah went through the door and heard hurried steps from down. She followed them.
