The news
Tracy was relieved when the doctor told her that she would be discharged the next day, she was very happy, she couldn't wait to go home and take a proper rest, she wasn't going back to Dave's house, her father had told her, she was going back to her parents until Steven was dead. She smiled at the doctor who didn't seem so happy. She has always known that the doctor liked her in a way but she could never come to like him, he was too serious, a young man like him always dressing like an old man, he lived a very boring life, she was not going to allow herself get distracted by someone like him so she pretended not to notice the man in front of her. As she watched his retreating image she thought if she had given him a chance she could probably change him, she could work on him and he would be one something she wants, but now it was too late, she couldn't be thinking about it now.
Dave told Josh what he did and his friend was happy, because he was sure, there were missing dots in the news they have at hand, they needed new news.
The next day, Dave didn't want to go to the hospital early, he wanted to take his time before leaving, while he was waiting for the next hour, he fell into a deep sleep, he didn't know how far the time had travelled or what time it was till he saw the message signal on his phone, he rushed to get it and saw missed calls and messages from the same person. He thought for Josh to call him for these number of times, something must be wrong he quickly read the messages one after the other.
First message says 'hey man, pick up your phone, something came up'
Second message says' you are still not picking, well Tracy is discharged today, did you know about it?
Third message' I cannot get into the hospital, wanted to see if I can get the recorder but I was told to leave since she had already been discharged, I am sure they will let you in, come at once, we might have news in that tape.
Dave was reading and dressing at the same time, he had just removed his trouser to relax a bit, he didn't know he had slept for more than Five hours, it was already past noon, he rushed out dialing his friend's number as he tried to start the engine. He has been riding Amanda's car since he brought it back from the Mechanic, she didn't want it, she dumped it at the Mechanic after her accident and Dave had gone to get it because it was his car, he just gave it to Amanda to be using.
Dave got to the hospital and met Josh at the place he said he was. He had been watching the hospital but nothing usual happened, just that Josh had seen someone who looked like Steven, it was fast and the man disappeared before he could blink to confirm what he was seeing. So Josh didn't want to tell his friend about it he thought he may have imagined it since they were looking for him.
Dave moved towards the hospital and was met by some nurses who told him his wife had been discharged.
"I am aware if that, I forgot something in the room I want to get it's"
He said and continued to move forward, they allowed him, when he got there he found the recorder exactly where he had kept it earlier, he was glad it hadn't been tampered with.
When he got outside he saw Josh already in his car waiting, they left for his house immediately.
