Chapter 6: Putting a Name to the Face

The next morning Alexander did something he almost never did for personal reasons.

He asked Marcus to pull the security footage from the hospital’s side entrance and the street cameras nearby. It took less than an hour to put a name to the face.

Olivia Hart.
Twenty-nine years old.
Emergency department nurse at St. Augustine’s Hospital.
Currently working more overtime than any person reasonably should.
No social media presence to speak of.
Lived alone in a small apartment fifteen minutes from the hospital.

Alexander sat at his desk on the forty-second floor of his office building and read the short report twice. Then he closed it and stared out at the city.

He told himself he was only curious.
He already knew that was a lie.
