Seth stopped the energized woman that had just walked breathlessly into the hospital's intensive care ward.
"Ma'am you can't be in here without the proper clearance..."
"Sir, I saw her, I saw what they did to her, when the pinned her to the ground, I was there!"
"Which woman? The blond one?"
"No I saw the one with red hair, there was a man beating her while the other two held her down, one of them nearly broke my jaw!"
"Ma'am, please come with me."
Angela noticed the stinging, burning sensation in her lower jaw worsening from her frantic over-exerting chatter.
Seth gently led the wide eyed woman to one of the vacant rooms outside of the perimeter of the ward. He led her by the shoulder one more room deeper into the hospital. The room was alive with the low volume chatter or a dozen men in suits. Many of the men had their blue or black suit jackets draped over one of the unused chairs.
Angela was led to a small table, and offered a seat across from a man with an artists pad and pen. Seth gently squeezed her shoulder and smiled reassuringly to her. He left without another word. Angels sat there, still, left out, even curious. An officer turned away from his group or suited companions at Seth's low toned whisper into the officer's ear. The man nodded and smiled.
Seth walked to his former post in the hall, disappearing from Angela's plain of vision. The man Seth had whispered to excused himself from his colleagues. He approached the table where Angela sat, observantly silent.
"Ma'am, for the record, please state your name, occupation, home phone number and address."
The man with the artists' pad readied his pen to record Angela's response.
"My name is Angela Monjiuah, I'm a registered nurse at the Suburban Hospital in Silver Spring. I live in the front street apartments, 1500 Main East Street, my phone number is (202) 555-7634."
"Thank you Ms. Monjiuah, please if you can, help Robert here with whatever he needs."
The man turned and went back to the other side of the room to resume his earlier conversation.
Robert reached across the table with his hand out stretched. He smiled.
"I'm Robert Haley. I'm a sketch artist for the Bureau. It's nice to meet you
Ms. Monjiuah..."
He shrugged slightly with her name.
"Can you try and describe the person I assume you're here for? In as much detail as you can please..."
