Chapter 31

“Now what?” Kyle asked when they were finished except for their second cups of coffee.

“First, we check up on Lynn Grant,” Brax replied, taking out his phone. “Doc Wilson, please,” he said when someone answered.

“I was about to call you,” Doc Wilson told him, when he got on the line. “Ms. Grant is awake, and very much wants to talk to you, she says.”

“We’ll be right over,” Brax replied. After paying for their meals, he and Kyle went into a nearby, and deserted, alley. Seconds later they were in the waiting room of the clinic.

Doc Wilson joined them, saying, “She’s not in great shape yet, obviously, but she’s able to talk. Try not to tire her out.”

“What did you tell her about being here?” Kyle asked.

“What we decided. That the two of you found her, and brought her here rather than a hospital. Her response was, ‘Thank God,’ so I don’t think she’ll be upset with you.”

“Unless she blames us for what happened to her,” Brax said as they followed Wilson to Ms. Grant’s room.
