Chapter 48 by Almax Almax

Can you do it? (second time)

You think so....

You scan your eyes over the shelf, trying your best to not sweat through your shirt and give it away that you're nervous. Thankfully, you're able to spot the correct label before she wraps up her talking. Now you just need to wait for any sort of opportunity, and....

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've been waffling on." She says. She gives a quick glance over her shoulder to the box of newly-delivered medicine. This is your last chance!

Your arm shoots out as fast as you can make it move and nabs the bottle off of the shelf. In the split second it takes for her to turn back and face you again, you've already pulled your arm back and hidden your hand's contents behind your back. Nurse Riley blinks and looks around the space, and you try to keep your breathing steady.

"...So, what did you need again? I'm afraid I've forgotten your answer."

"Nothing!" You blurt out quickly. "Just wanted to say hello!"

Nurse Riley's entire body melts into a warm happiness. "Oh, Debbie, that's so sweet of you! I barely ever get visits like that these days. Thank you so much!"

You nod, and give her a nice smile back. Even though it was a lie, you do also sort of like Nurse Riley, and take a mental note to come visit and say hi for real some time in the future.

"Well. See you, then." You say, lifting one arm to give a quick salute while keeping the one holding the bottle behind your back.

With that, you do a sideways-waddle like a crab, and head over to the door. The entire way you have to keep your body angled to face her, and it takes a few blind groping swipes of your free hand to locate the door handle, but then with a quick ca-chunk you've made your exit and head out to the hallway.

You sigh out the air you didn't realise you'd been holding in. You did it! You're such a classic secret agent. It's like you were never there. Well, time to go give this bottle over to the Sorority, then!

Go you!
