Selina walked casually through the halls of the research wing on the 4th floor of the hospital. So far her nurse disguise was passing up to the casual scrutiny of those around her, but as she approached the restricted section that was bound to change.
Sure enough as she made it to the door that led to her target a guard tried to stop her. A silently administered dose of a sedative got him out of her way. As he lay slumped against the wall, she used his key card to open the door.
Starting with the computer, she copied all the files to a flash drive. Then she dissembled it and poured acid over the key components to ensure nothing could be retrieved.
Bypassing the biometric scanner to get into the secure cabinet was difficult, but she had spent hours studying to do just that. After a few minutes of rewiring the door popped open and Selina grabbed hold of the one bottle of age reduction pills in the world.
Her client had offered her a fortune for the data alone. With the actual working test batch, she was going to be the richest cat burglar in the world. She slipped the bottle into the pocket of her borrowed scrubs and slipped back out of the door. Everything was going smoothly.
The sudden blaring of an alarm indicated she had gotten too comfortable. Of course the bottle would have a sensor to prevent it from leaving the room! How could she not think of that?
Selina rushed down the hall hoping to clear the hall before anyone saw her. Sge had no luck on that front as she came face-to-face with a security team heading her way.
"Hey you stop!"
A bit of acrobatics put her on the other side of the group. She dashed back into the main section. Unfortunately, she heard an announcement come over the intercom.
"Attention all staff a patient has escaped from the mental wing and is disguised as a nurse. She is approximately 5 foot 10 inches with short black hair. If you see her please contact security immediately. She is considered a threat to herself and others. Patients please remain where you are until you are given further instructions. I repeat..."
Well that was sure to have everyone in the hospital looking for her. Before anyone took notice of her, Selina ducked through an unlocked door. She checked the window first but no luck. There weren't any good handholds, so she was more likely to break her neck that make a clean getaway.
Turning back to the room itself she saw that she was in the laundry room for the pediatric wing. A desperate plan naturally followed. If she took some she could ditch the "crazed woman" description and disguise herself as a patient.
Though that presented its own difficulties. Obviously the more extreme the change the less likely anyone would suspect her. The rub with that being there was currently no way of undoing that change. Her client may be able to help with that, but that was no guarantee.
She pulled the bottle out of her pocket and popped off the cap. One pill was supposed to equal one year of age reduction. With that in mind Selina took...
