“I was just going to page you.” Jackson smiled.
“For?”
“Today is Ava’s brain scan. Didn’t you know?”
“No, I didn’t. I haven’t spoken to her in a few days. I’ve been busy here at the hospital.”
“I guess that explains why we haven’t seen you. You said you wanted to be in there when she had it done. She’ll be here in thirty minutes.”
My pager went off, and when I looked at it, it was from the ER.
“That’s the ER. If I can make it, I will. I’ll talk to you later.” I walked away.

Ava
I walked through the doors of the hospital lobby, where Jackson was waiting for me.
“Hi, Ava.” He smiled.
“Hi, Jackson.”
“I really appreciate you doing this,” he said.
“No problem.” I smiled as we stepped onto the elevator. “I spoke with the others, and they’re on board, except for Seraphina. She won’t front.”
“That’s okay. If she doesn’t feel comfortable, I understand.”
He led me into the imaging room, where a nurse named Linda was waiting for us.
“Linda is going to give you a gown to change into. Then we’ll get you hooked up and into the MRI machine.”
After I changed into the gown, I climbed on the table and laid down. Jackson walked over and took hold of my hand.
“If you don’t feel comfortable or need me to get you out at any time, press this button.”
“I will. Have you spoken to Grayson?”
“Yeah, I just saw him about a half hour ago. The ER paged him, but he said he’ll try to be here if he can.”
“Oh, okay.”
“When you feel a switch coming on, I want you to squeeze this ball,” he said. “I’ll be right in the control room.”
“Got it.” I smiled.

Jackson
The door to the control room opened, and Christian and Charlotte walked in.
“I didn’t think I was going to make it,” she said.
“You’re just in time. Okay, Ava, we’re going to put you in now.”
“Okay, Jackson. I’m ready.”
