Billie Johansson looked at the poor woman lying on the hospital bed. She had arrived the previous evening via the Emergency Room and had spent several hours in surgery. Her dressings would have to be changed soon, and it would be Billie's job to do it. That would be no great challenge for the skilled nurse, and with any luck, her patient would remain asleep during the procedure and thereby avoid the pain. Billie glanced at the woman's chart: Cassandra Woodall, 34, beating victim.

Billie was nearing the end of a double shift, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to talk to the EMTs who brought her patient in. Apparently she had escaped her attacker and crawled up a flight of stairs before she found someone at home and willing to help. The 911 call had gone out immediately, but the woman lost consciousness before the ambulance arrived. From what Billie could tell, she was extremely lucky to be alive, although she'd bear scars from the beating for a long time.

Staying alive was obviously the most important concern now, but if her luck held and she made it, she was going to need some serious cosmetic surgery. Billie checked the woman's pulse and blood pressure, then updated her chart. The nurse pushed a strand of hair back from her patient's forehead. "Poor baby," she said. "We'll take care of you. We need you to get well so we can find out who did this to you." She pursed her lips, then added, "And put his sick, demented ass away forever."
