The receptionist laughed nervously, trying to calm the bird down while calling her supervisor.

By lunchtime, everyone was taking selfies next to the green newcomer. The plant stayed for weeks, becoming part of the center's daily routine until one morning someone noticed its leaves waving gently in the air conditioning vent—a perfect fit for North Hills Surgery Center after all.

As he approached the door, a small dog from inside started barking furiously, pointing its nose towards the van. The receptionist looked puzzled but opened the door anyway—only to discover that the package contained a live parrot instead of medical supplies.

Curious, he approached and noticed it was filled with old magazines and half-eaten sandwiches—obviously someone’s lunchbox from the night before. Turns out, the center had a late-night janitor who brought his own snacks for the graveyard shift. The jogger laughed, realizing the mystery wasn’t so mysterious after all.
