Dr. Child's got Gus situated on the same table he had been on a little over a week ago. Gus was unresponsive. He must have passed out.

"It's a good thing you brought him back. I'm not sure he would have made it if you stayed out there any longer. What were you thinking, listening to the girl?"

Linda, who had been worried about hypothermia the last two days, now added frostbite to her list considering Childs had brought it up. Why hadn't she thought to check his extremities?

"I'm the only person within a hundred miles who could help him. You want to strip off his coat, hat, and gloves?"

Linda ignored the doctors arrogant manner and focused all of her attention on Gus. It wasn't the first time she had to work with and ego driven doctor. She was relieved when she didn't see any signs of frostbite herself. However she wouldn't be done worrying until Childs finished his examination.

"Linda, I assume you'll want to stay her with your friend?"

"You assumed correct."

"I expected no less from a professional. Can you get and IV drip started the?. You will find supplies over there," Childs pointed to a wall with cabinets, "along with hand sanitizer."

Linda rushed over and scrubbed up as best she could. She rummaged through the supplies as fast as she could. She rubbed sanitizer up to her elbows once again before practically running back over. Finding a vein she got the drip started.

Childs finished looking at Gus' hands and toes. Next he looked at Linda's work. She rolled her eyes.

"It's nice to have an assistant again." That was as much praise as she got. "No one else in this town was bright enough to train as one." Childs continued examining Gus. "Lucky for, Gerry wasn't it?"

"Gus."

"Right yeah, Gus. He doesn't have any frostbite damage. You take his temperature, blood pressure, and pulse. I'll be back."

Child's stopped and spoke to a women standing at the counter on the other side of the drawn curtain. The woman scurried out of sight then returned with pillows, blankets, and a small green cloth lunch bag piled in her arms. She transferred everything to Childs, who returned to Linda and Gus.

"What are the results?" he asked, standing there with his hands full.

"All are low but not dangerously so." Linda let herself feel relieved. Pressure, like two enormous hands which had been holding her down, gave way in her chest.

"Right. Again good. I've got your friend now Linda. Take these." Childs held out his arms. Linda scooped them up without thinking. "I don't think there is more you could do here right now. If you need anything I'm sure one of the town people could help you. Go find an empty place and get settled in. Know that Gerry is in good hands."

Linda found herself somewhat taken aback by his generosity so she didn't correct him. "I don't know Childs. I don't want to leave him. What if he needs me."

Childs gave her a stern look. "Lidia. You might not be as in bad a shape as your friend but your body needs rest, hydration.
