Chapter 6

Obviously or I wouldn’t be asking,but Skylar bites his tongue and tries to keep the annoyance and fear out of his voice at their reactions when he answers with a simple, “No.”

Quinn walks through the door at that moment, halting a few paces in as he looks at each of the three newcomers in turn. When he looks at Rhys the man just shrugs and says “It’s Eric,” like that’s the most obvious answer.

“The doctor’s been paged, we should go and give them space,” Quinn says, looking at Eric pointedly.

“No wait,” Skylar begs, “Please will someone just tell me what’s going on.” He can’t stand this, this not knowing, and he would rather be told by his friends than some stuffy doctor with a clipboard.
