At least the Security up here was serious. Arnaldo Figueroa recognized one or two of the men at the station outside the Unit, cops moonlighting for a few extra bucks. Also, of course, the newly reconstituted official police guard. You had to have a pass to be admitted, in case Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian chose to spend a few days getting an anonymous nose-job or tummy-tuck. At the moment, however, the Unit was almost empty, a couple of D list celebrities that Arnaldo Figueroa vaguely recognized from some reality TV shows.

Rehab was going well. His hand was getting stronger. He still limped, but he could toddle across the room without assistance. He was still clumsy but he could hold a knife and a fork and cut his own food. Not much of a triumph, in the normal course of things, but Arnaldo Figueroa cherished it.

“How are you, Arnie?”

Kurtz was a guy Arnaldo Figueroa felt comfortable with. Not quite a cop, but almost. Kurtz had the look, the look of a guy who watched his surroundings, not suspicious exactly, but aware of everyone and everything that went on around him. Arnaldo Figueroa had heard stories about Kurtz. He wasn’t sure he believed them.

Wordlessly, Arnaldo Figueroa held out his left hand, clenched it into a fist, then spread the fingers.

“Nice,” Kurtz said.

“When am I getting out of here?”

Kurtz looked down at the chart in his hands, considering. “You still need rehab,” he said, “but that can be done as an outpatient. Let me talk to the neurosurgeons.”

“Great.”

Kurtz smiled. “A few more days, probably. I’ll let you know tomorrow.”

“Great,” Arnaldo Figueroa said again.
