“The entire day. Since I had first worked here as a doctor’s apprentice, I had never seen that many people here at a time. It was truly amazing. All I hope to be honest is that with the Blitz attacks, we won't have to experience that anymore first-hand.”
“Mmm… How long has your hospital been active?”
“Ooh, now that's a hard one. Ummm... Probably a little over 20 years? Give or take a few? If you're asking how old this hospital is, that I cannot answer.”
“Hmm.. Well, I believe that's all I need Mr. Kinlan, thank you.” Click
“Oh you're welcome.” Thomas had smiled, after the recorded interview had been ended. The Director was smiling quite brightly, in contrast to before during the interview, when he sat calmly, answering the questions without a hitch, almost like he practiced saying it.
“Now, Thomas, if I may ask of a personal, nonexistent request from you...” Alfred had (somewhat) smoothly slipped the secrecy card to the Director, who immediately caught on with his furrowed brow and perplexed emotion, his face being the one who spilled it. “I want to know if it's possible if may switch my interview client, Arthur Kirkland, to someone else. Kirkland is just... A little too rough for me.” The sigh alarmed Alfred.
“Well, again, our hospital is understaffed. I don't know if I can be able to give you a new Doctor to interview who consents. Kirkland... He may seem sour, but you really just need to crack him and... You'll get what you want, and some more.” The Director went from cheered to serious at the drop of a dime. Alfred was a little intimidated by it, but also a little confused at the late part. What did he mean by 'and some more'? And what of that pause? Alfred opened his mouth to ask what the Director meant, but the beepbeepbeep beepbeepbeep beepbeepbeep of a pager rang through the room.
“Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Jones but I need to go; I'm needed for something urgent. I'll hopefully see you soon!” was all he said before Alfred was left in the Director's office, confused beyond his mind as he did what he could do in this situation.

Click. 8:02 am in New York City, log number six. I'm now starting to suspect there's something going on with Kirkland. I might just stick with him; see what I'll get with it. Hopefully it'll help my article.” Click.
A/N: Okei. Fifty dollars you're all wondering why I haven't updated in x days. Well, if you look above, before the first part, my explanation's there, but because I'm nice, I'll cut and paste re-explain here.
Two days ago I had a total emotional meltdown and it overall was my bipolar day. Yeah was not fun. About yesterday, I just. Avoided my responsibilities. xDD; Sorry. I also should add this: I might not be able to update Saturday. My family is have a party and I'm the one who's stuck looking over all the little kids so I may not get time to myself on my laptop. I might be able to get on and update, but I dunno yet. :U
S'yeah. Real life came by and ripped me apart. Oh and also if the writing style at the end seems different from the beginning, that's cause I started rereading Atonement by Ian McEwan (which I'm using to help me for the next part) and his writing style is rubbing off on me, which I think is a good thing because. McEwan is simply amazing. Like srsly. Read Atonement then watch the movie. NAO. AUTHOR!ANON DEMANDS IT. >:U
