It wasn't long before a nurse entered the room Alastor had been in. She blinked at the empty bed and the remains of the cast on the floor. After a quick search through the room, she hastened out and ran over the department to the main station. "Has mr. Alastor passed through here?" she asked.
"No," the other nurse replied.
"Where is doctor Bansing?"
"Room 1."
The nurse quickly went to the room and opened the door. "Doctor," she said as she entered, looking at a woman and a child sitting on the bed, the boy was crying and the mother did her best to comfort him. She looked at the back of the doctor's head. "Excuse me, but mr. Alastor is missing."
"I'm kinda in the middle of something," he said as he showed a bloody glove and he looked over his shoulder. "Contact hospital security and give them all the relevant information."

Before the nurse left, Andy turned his attention on the patient in front of him once more, stitching up a deep cut in the boys hand. He talked with the boy during the procedure, to calm him and his mother down. The boy sobbed, but kept his hand still as Andy had requested. 
"So, all done," Andy said at the end. "You were the bravest patient I have ever had!" Well, not entirely true, the group of bravest patients grew steadily, but the boy needed to hear it.
He gave some final instruction about the wound care and when the stitches could be removed. After sending them to the nurses station, he cleaned up.

Now that the patient was gone, he had time to think about Alastor. Was he really surpised he had left? Not really, a drifter probably didn't have the money to pay the hospital bill. But how had he been able to sneak out the room with a cast around his leg and no-one noticed anything. He decided to check the room himself, it would only take a minute and there were no dire emergencies.

In the room he noticed the removed bandages and the remains of the cast. He frowned as he examined it. That was peculiar, how had Alastor been able to do that?
After a sigh he left the room, what more could he do? Hospital security would have to deal with it, he'd tell them what he knew when they would ask him. Now it was time to treat one of the waiting patients.
