"Your patient, Tracy Vetter, is dead. The body has been
released to the custody of the family." He would have to whammy the
other two Vetters before all was said and done, but for now his worry
was getting her the heck out of the hospital without a detour through
Dr. Lambert's morgue.
"Vetter is dead..." one of the women repeated dazedly. "Should we tell
the family?"
"They have been informed."
"Very good, doctor."
Tracy was blinking at the dull hospital room in awe; Vachon smiled.
"There are colors in here...."
"Just you wait."
"Javier, I'm hungry."
Inwardly, a shiver of pure happiness and pleasure as she called him by
his given name. "I know. We'll go back to the church and I'll find you
something yummy." He picked her up and prepared to take flight out the
window.
"Javier?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you?"
"Why?"
"I would have died. I _knew_ I was dying. You cared enough to bring me
back."
Vachon shrugged and would have turned red had it been at all possible
for him to do so. He took to the air.
<-Tracy Vetter passed away twenty minutes ago.>

Thanks to everyone for _not_ beating me too badly for taking a bit to
get this posted. I'm not making any disparaging comments about nurses'
performances -- that just fit the story. Keep watching, maybe you'll
see a sequel if y'all are good and eat all your peas.....
