Being Caught in 4k.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay with her a little more?" Garrick asked.

"Robert is watching over her, my staff is taking care of her...She just doesn't need me." Ned replied.

"Maybe you should wait a little more, at least for her to wake-up and see you.

It's true she may not remember you or see you as her son, but I think if her other son is fighting for his life, she might need her first son by her side...so she wouldn't feel alone in this struggle." Garrick said.

"I don't have the time for this, unfortunately there's others who need me now.

I've completely forgotten about Matilda, she hasn't came back yet, and I've sent for my employee to look for her...I think she might've gone home." Ned replied.

In order to grab the attention of the couple chatting by the corner, "Doctor Valentino, is everything alright?" Robert spoke-up.

"Yes! I was just talking with my mate, he and I should leave so you'd get to have some peace finally." Ned replied smiling.

"I can tell you're a busy couple, but I do enjoy your company, so whenever it's possible please do come back." Robert replied back, smiling as well.

"And as for Nedrick, I'll make sure to keep you thoroughly updated." Ned said.

Nodding with his head, "Thank you doctor." Robert replied.

"Come On Garrick, let's go." Ned said gently pushing Garrick forward to the door, "You sure? I can just go check on Matilda myself!" Garrick said.

"No I'm sure, we can handle this together if you want...But we should go." Ned replied and the two quickly left the room, closing the door behind them.

But as soon as they left, the same employee from earlier who alerted the doctor about his mother, came running towards them.

Gasping for air, "Gah!...Sir...there's something I think...you should know about!" the employee said, then they took notice of Garrick, They froze-up and stopped talking.

"What is it? speak-up?" Ned asked But immediately realized it's something that has to do with Garrick, or else his employee wouldn't have Shut-up that way.

"Baby, I'm gonna ask you for some privacy, would you mind going back to your room and collect your things while I talk with my employee...Can you do that for me?" Ned asked.

"What? why? didn't you say this was the employee you asked to find Matilda? Matilda is my sister now, I should know if something has happened to her." Garrick replied.

Summoning Their courage, "Please sir Delun, no need to worry about Miss Jeannette... According to the surveillance cameras I reviewed and one of our staff that was in the parking lot.

Miss Jeannette is fine and has left in her car with two women a while ago, one was Miss Belmonte and the other was a woman who's believed to be a relative of Miss Jeannette." the employee spoke-up.

"A relative?! that can't be possible?" Ned said.

"The surveillance cameras footage is not enough proof, but remember that one staff member I talked about? they came down to the parking to smoke in secret sometime after Miss Jeannette went there...but by the time the staff member got to the parking lot, the three women were arguing, so the staff member hid away.

They're 100% sure, Miss Jeannette called the other woman her mother, and that the woman resemblance to Miss Jeannette is incredibly strong." The employee explained.

"You don't really think..." Garrick questioned, "No I do think...the woman might've been as well Matilda's biological mother.

But how did all of them end-up in the parking lot?" Ned had his own question.

"The two women came from the parking lot itself." The employee replied.

"Wait? You mean they teleported?" Garrick asked.

"Precisely.

Reviewing The security footage is usually Mister Aroon Tar's job, he would notice things the security guards can't catch themselves...long ago, He warned us that There are so many blind spots that the cameras can't catch throughout the whole establishment.

And the parking lot is full of said blind spots.

The reason why I'm mentioning the blind spots, is because I like I said i reviewed the footage around the time Miss Jeannette was no longer by Your side, Myself.

While the cameras shows her going into the parking lot and leaving afterwards in her car, the other two women with her, are only seen through the camera leaving with Miss Jeannette.

But there is no footage of those two going into the parking lot from any of the known entrances! which means they've came from a blind spot, and all the blind spots are nowhere close to a possible entrance, so teleportation is the only explanation." The employee explained.

"Garrick, go get your things so we can leave.

I'll call Matilda or Socorro to see what's going on, and when you're done meet me in the parking lot." Ned said, "Alright!" Garrick replied and hurried back to his room.

"Sir, there's something else I wanted to tell you...Now that he's gone." The employee spoke-up again.

"I figured you had something to say about Garrick." Ned said.

"Let me explain this first sir! while some of the employee managed to get a holiday leave, there's many of us, who are still on duty even though it's Christmas and New years..."

"It's not like they working for free, I gave a bonus to everybody who's working during the holiday season."

"I know, And I'm one of the very grateful employees for your generosity, I have no problem working during the holiday season because I don't have a family to go back to.

But for other workers like most of the security guards, they have families, children they didn't get to spend time with them.

Ever since the masked Stalker incident from few months ago, you've tightened the security around here, and made it difficult for workers to get a break."

"What you're saying is that many employees, like the security guards, got mad they couldn't take the whole week as a holiday... And if I'm guessing right, they're so mad they're not doing their job right." Ned said.

"Precisely, sir.

I don't want to snitch on my coworkers but I can't overlook this!

When I reviewed the footage myself because the guards that were supposed to be watching the cameras were skipping work, not to mention the ones on patrol... anyways as i checked the whole security footage from today...I discovered something." The employee replied.

"Is it about Garrick?" Ned asked earning a nod from his employee.

...Few minutes later...

Bursting into Yuuya's room, "Agu...could you come with me outside." Ned spoke-up.

"I don't want to leave Yuuya alone." Agu replied.

"Hey Ned? you look stressed, is everything alright?" Yuuya asked.

"It's for your best that you leave this room right now Agu, unless you want me to cause a scene in front of Yuuya." Ned said while glaring at Agu.

"Hold on, what's happening?!" Yuuya asked feeling his anxiety build-up, he looked at Agu who was beginning to frown.

"What's going on with you Ned?" Agu asked.

"I won't repeat myself again, so for the last time Agu, come with me outside or I'm going to make you regret it." Ned replied.

"What's going on? why are you talking to Agu like that Ned?! I understand we owe you so much, but it's not an excuse to talk to him like that!" Yuuya said.

Agu remained silent, and it irritated Ned even more.

Nearly shouting, "I have the right to talk however I like! this is my fucking hospital! And I won't back away until your boyfriend agrees to come with me outside or I'll drag him myself in a police car." Ned replied.

"What the hell?! Why the police?! what have you done Agu? don't hide it for me please!

Ned please tell me what did he do?!" Yuuya pleaded, "Don't worry, as long as he provides a reasonable explanation, I Will let go of him, so don't leave the room Yuuya...Agu will come back to you, if he makes the right choice." Ned explained.

"Let's go outside...Yuuya listen to Ned and stay here." Agu finally spoke-up, "Right choice it is then." Ned replied and the two left together.

Outside, "I'm grateful for your help so far Ned, but Just so you know I don't appreciate what you did in front of Yuuya." Agu said.

Taking a deep breath to calm down, "I don't appreciate what you did right in front of the cameras." Ned replied while showing Agu the footage from when he and Garrick were drinking coffee in the parking lot.

"That?! what the hell..." Agu frowned as he watched the video.

The clip showed how shortly after drinking the coffee, the two men begin arguing and then Garrick fainted but Agu didn't seem to care and picked-up his phone instead, typing something, then only after a while that he brought help for Garrick.

"What the hell indeed! explain yourself Mister Francis...Why you didn't help Garrick right away when he fainted, unless you knew he was going to faint?

My guess, you drugged him." Ned said.

"Shit...I totally forgot about the security measures." Agu replied.

"So you admit to what I'm seeing right here, You knew he was going to faint! did you drug him?"

"Are you blind?! why are you asking an obvious question you fucking idiot!"

"Excuse me?" Ned was taken by surprise with the sudden insult.

"A child could see that, that's how obvious this shit is." Agu replied in a cold manner.

Agu's lack of remorse made Ned's glaring intensify, "Watch the way you're talking to me, you hurt my mate Asshole." Ned replied back.

"I didn't hurt him, if anything I'm sure I helped him...I drugged him for his own good, it's a good thing I did it and not someone else." Agu said.

Scoffing, "Look at you, talking so casually about drugging your own friend! Maybe Yuuya should know about it after all!" Ned replied while attempting to go back into the room but Agu pushed him back.

"Fine, I did something bad, I'm ready to accept whatever punishment you decide, just don't involve Yuuya." Agu said sounding less confident than before.

"I know you did it for Yuuya, You're not a monster to hurt Garrick for no reason, are you?" Ned asked.

"I do care about Garrick as a friend, besides he's Yuuya's best friend...So of course i wouldn't risk doing something like that unless I had a good reason." Agu replied.

"I'm listening, tell me what the hell made you do it?!" Ned asked.

"Some lady offered me to cure Yuuya for life, She said she can change his ability and make it non threatening and even useful, if I did few tasks for her...you think I'm going to pass an opportunity like this to save Yuuya's life? " Agu replied.

"Knowing you, you'd jump off a bridge for Yuuya." Ned said.

"Exactly, The lady promised me something I couldn't resist in exchange of doing two tasks." Agu replied.

"Was drugging Garrick not the only thing she wanted?" Ned questioned, "The second task was drugging Garrick, but the first was to steal her something." Agu replied.

"What did you steal?" Ned asked, "That book...the one that made Garrick think you're a murderer." Agu replied.

Ned's eyes went wide open, "You son of a...!"

"Insult me all you want, but I had to do it." Agu responded

Taking a deep breath, "The lady you're talking about, is she someone familiar?" Ned asked.

"Familiar maybe, do I personally know her? No.

She's insane! She approached me all weird, she knows my name! she knows Yuuya!

She says I killed myself in my past life when Yuuya died because Garrick died! She says she's a genie too." Agu replied angrily.

"A genie?" Ned questioned.
