VISITOR

Evelyn couldn’t believe her luck. Not only had she caught a ride with Ollie, which had saved her days in the desert and a lot of aches and pains, but now it also seemed the Healer was in the general vicinity of where she knew her brother had been just a day before. If he hadn’t left, which would create a whole new set of problems for her, she figured she may not have to stray too far from her newly acquainted benefactor to find Tate.

Feeling good about where things were going, Evelyn leaned against the wall of the truck bed and let the breeze cool her face.

“I keep thinking about what you said … and all the questions you were asking about the treatments for Tillie.”

Evelyn turned to look at Ollie. His face was relaxed, but his eyes told her he was worrying about something.

“You seem to know a lot about things like that, and I don’t get the sense you think the Healer is for real.”

Evelyn looked down at Tillie quickly. She seemed to be asleep again, but a more pained expression was on her face, like she was deep in a nightmare, struggling to make her way through it.

“I don’t know what to think, Ollie,” she said, and she knew she really didn’t. Everything she knew told her that when it came to things like this, most men were selling nothing but snake oil. She had a suspicion that this healer was no different and that there was little he was going to do to help Tillie. Without proper medical treatment, Evelyn knew it was going to take nothing short of a miracle for her to live, and even if she did, there was probably so much damage done by the radiation, she may forever be battling sickness. Her mind was not telling her anything she wanted to relay to Ollie, or Tillie for that matter, but then she remembered something Joseph told her about Tate.

As a child, Tate had suffered a horrible sickness—one that had nearly killed him and left him completely debilitated. The nanites Mr. Philips’s research team had injected into Tate’s spinal fluid had repaired most of the damage, though, carving their way through scar tissue in his brain and reconnecting neural pathways so his body and mind worked perfectly again.

Years later, when Tate was working in the orphanage, Joseph had come to him on the playground, unable to keep up with his friends because of his own nerve problems, which made it hard for him to walk. He was apparently feeling very down in the moment about it, and he asked Tate if he thought he might ever be able to walk normally, just like the other boys. What Tate told Joseph then had impacted him enough that he never forgot it.

Evelyn glanced back up at Ollie. “My brother says that all healing comes from God. I can’t say if the Healer is for real or not, but you said you were taking it on faith that he could help.
