Prognosis: Forever

“Hey, Marco.” Someone’s voice broke into my reverie, so I looked in the direction of the sounds.


“Hello, Andreas,” I said. “Thanks for coming. Where’s Nick?”


“He’s at home, preparing a Greek meal to take your mind off of things. I’m supposed to bring you home with me later.”


“Tell him I appreciate the thought, but I can’t leave the hospital right now, and given the current situation, the security people won’t like it if I start running around the Duchy.”


“Who said anything about right now, squirt?” Gert said. “Sooner or later you’ve got to eat, and I know how much you like Greek food.”


“Not to worry, Marco,” Andreas said, “we’ll bring Nick’s creations here or to il Castelloif needed.”


“I’m sorry, Andreas,” I said, “do you know Mrs. McClanahan? Dani and I knew her in Boston, and she’s been the supervisor of nursing here at the hospital for several years now. Gert, this is Andreas. He’s a distant cousin of mine.”
