I wanted her to pull through. I slept there in the chair most of the day.There were no major changes in her condition for the next couple of days. One...afternoon as I came into work the OB/GYN called me. She had lost the baby. It was a little girl.So although our patient came through that procedure I was still only one for two.It was another week before she started to recover from her coma. Her body was now breathing on its own so the ventilator was removed. Two days later she started to stir in. Karl had been busy removing the stock to his refrigerated truck. A small crowd of people surrounded a ladder in the empty beer cooler.A man was standing on the ladder with his head buried in the guts of the cooler's evaporator assembly.Shirl saw him and shook her head. "It's lousy timing with the weekend upon us, but it could be worse." What's the story?" he asked."Julio," Shirl pointed to the man on the ladder, "is our guy for heating and cooling. Barley was never big on spending money wisely,. You want a composite data scan, or CDS." Ok. Give me a CDS." Done."The holographic projection looked a lot like the targeting scanners.Hopefully nothing I could see now would be taking a shot at me."Incoming call." Who is it?" Your father."I held my first reaction in. Smart as this ship is, it would not understand. "Very well. Put the call through and let me know when we are within 20 miles of the Swiss border." Done."I wished the next voice I would hear was as cooperative."This is Captain. "Just a second." I went behind the bar and found some gear stashed: a couple baseball caps and a pair of sunglasses and brought them to Sonja. "Let's separate, use opposite stairways and go through the main entrance. No one's there; it's dark and you can just push the bar to exit. I'll meet you outside." Grabbing Alexa's hand, I guided her to the left set of stairs while Anna and Sonja took the right. Alexa gracefully kept pace with me as we rapidly descended and headed outdoors. Seconds later.
