The Devil's Bargain
As she makes a turn into a small corridor, Claire hides behind a column, checking if the reporter has truly left the building. To her relief, there's no sight of him; he must have finally left.
She takes out her phone and redials Catherine Buenavista's number. "Please answer, goddammit," she mutters, as she watches the phone screen vibrate with Catherine's office number. And yet, it only rings and rings. Where are people when you need them the most, Claire wonders, feeling dejected. She takes a peek again, and seeing that the reporter seems nowhere in sight, she walks back to where she'd come from, taking a roundabout way, toward the area of the ICU. She needs to speak with Gabriel. Apart from ensuring Miguel's welfare, they need to have a solid plan about how they'd go about this in the coming days.
