The sweat was beading off of Dr. Zahir's head. The pressure's never been higher for him before. One wrong move, could cost him more than his job.
"Blood pressure readings?"
"Stable, sir."
After suturing the patient up, him and the nurses all sat in the room, checking the vitals nonstop. Sure, Dr. Zahir's accustomed to death, but not one that could have an effect of this magnitude. It's not everyday that a presidential candidate gets assassinated during election night.
Peeling his gloves off, he left the room, grabbed a mat, turned East, and prayed.

Regina passed an alley on her way to work, but something in the tone of people talking in the alley slowed her. Backing up, she pulled her sunglasses onto her nose, peered down the alley, and saw a man badgering a petite blond female squatting against the wall.

The pacing in this story is truly great. The reveal of the patient is impactful and paints Dr. Zahir's previous stress very brightly. The final sentence communicates a denouement and release that pair with the previous action in a lovely way. I enjoy seeing a doctor humanized like this.
Congrats on the top story! This was a fantastic read.
