The nurse's voice, usually so calm, was now riddled with a nervous tremor. "We... we're so sorry, Mr. Evans. This is the wrong file." The records in Elias' hands spoke of a life of athleticism and rigorous training, utterly at odds with his own sedentary existence.

He leaned back in his chair, a wry smile playing on his lips. "Right," he drawled, his tone dripping with sarcasm. He tapped a finger against the file. "Well, this is just peachy."

Instead of asking the nurse to make any corrections, he tossed the file on the floor. He wanted to go home and enjoy the quiet of his apartment.
