Seventh Enemy
“I found the same gray-haired nurse seated at a computer monitor. “Excuse me…” I began.
She looked up at me and shook her head. “He’s still in surgery,” she said. “I’ll be sure you know when there’s any news.”
“He’s been in there a long time.”
She shrugged. It meant he hadn’t died yet.
Diana had been slumped in her chair with her eyes closed since Sheriff Mason had left. When I returned to the waiting room, I touched her arm and said, “How about something to eat?”
She opened her eyes and looked ...at me. “No. I feel like I’m going to throw up as it is.”
“They told me he’s still in surgery.”
Her eyes closed. “He’s going to die.”
I didn’t say anything.
Sometime after three o’clock in the afternoon the gray-haired nurse appeared in the waiting room. A young doctor wearing hospital greens stood beside her. She caught my eye, turned to the doctor and spoke to him, then left. The doctor approached me and Diana. We both stood up.
