Chapter Three
Em began to get nervouswhen she heard loud voices outside her room.There was a shout and a thud.She saw her sister’s face in the doorway.There was a shriek, and everything went quiet.
Samsor stuck his head in.“You good?”
She nodded.“Yup.They flat?”
He grinned.“Yup.”
Dr.Aquilar came back in with an instrument tray and smiled.“He’s effective.”
“Yeah.I guess so.”
Duran came in, wiping his hands on a napkin, and there was blood on it.
Em blinked.“You were in on that?”
Duran grinned.“I get my fun where I can.We have the temporary restraining order, and since it is active, they are being arrested...again.Echel, how is the hunt coming?”
Echel gave him a thumbs-up.
Dr.Aquilar set the instrument tray down, put on gloves, and looked at the incisions.“You heal fast.I am going to pull the stitches before you leave.”
“How long is it supposed to take?”
“About a week to ten days.”
“Huh.No one ever mentioned it.”She sighed.“So, that isn’t normal either?”
He began to clip and tug at the stitches.“No, it isn’t normal.What would you have done if you knew?”
“I dunno.I wouldn’t have expected it to heal so fast.”
Dr.Aquilar nodded and kept working.
“How many holes did you make?”
“Seven small incisions.I am good at working in small areas.”
“Your wife must be very happy.”
The hands working paused.“Don’t make me laugh.My new daughter-in-law can energize someone, and my wife has been reminding me of certain things.”
“What?”
