Chapter 14: Remember when

The hospital was quiet compared to Serena‘s last visit when it was over whelmed with an emergency situation. She waved to the nurse at reception. She couldn‘t remember the other woman‘s name. “Has Beta Carson been moved into recovery?” she asked. The nurse pulled up a file on her desk. “Let me see,” she said, thumbing through the file. “Yes, he‘s been moved to room 305.”

“Thanks,” Serena said, offering another wave before turning and heading to the elevator. Outside the hospital recovery room, Serena paused. There wasn‘t a window for her to look into, so she listened to make sure he didn‘t have a visitor. While she was there as a doctor, she didn‘t have her, lab coat or stethoscope, and she didn‘t want to barge in looking out of place. There was no sound from inside. Carson was probably still asleep. Serena knocked and let herself in. Carson was awake, trying to prop himself up on the pillows. “Don‘t strain yourself,” Serena said. Carson grunted and laid back. “I‘m one of your doctors. I just wanted to come by and see how you were doing.”

“I‘m fine,” he said. Serena raised an unconvinced eyebrow at him. “Let me see the wound,” she said. She pulled at the edge of his hospital gown, opening it up so she could see the surgical sight. “We were escorting a transport convoy back into Night Sky territory when we were attacked,” he told her. Serena made a thoughtful hum,

gently probing the afflicted area with her fingers. It was healing nicely, and the stitches didn‘t look like they were getting infected. “I‘ve heard there has been increasing trouble with the Moonshine pack,” she said conversationally. Carson sighed heavily. “Yes,” he agreed. “I was able to head off the attack. Of course, that meant I took the brunt of the damage.” He sighed again. “It looks good,” Serena said, replacing his gown and the sheet over top

I guess I missed my family and the pack community.” “Do they not have communities in the human world?” Carson asked, propping himself up on his elbows. Serena pulled his chart off the end of his bed and looked over the nurses‘ notes on his vitals and

“Usually, a religious based organization whose leader acts like some kind of messiah or prophet. Followers are sort of brainwashed into believing that, and will do almost anything in the name of their messiah,” she said. She shook her head. “They are closed groups and don‘t really abide by the laws of the world. That gets them into trouble.” “That sounds complicated,” Carson said. Serena shrugged. “To my knowledge, they aren‘t that common,” she said. Carson laughed, which ended with him yawning and falling back on his pillows. Serena went to

She‘d been in class at medical school. It had been a few weeks of headaches, feeling queasy at odd hours, and general bodily discomfort. Being at medical school, there was an
