Chapter Six

New York City, New York

The man’s name was Jensen and he had about twenty people inside of the building, hiding. He was the security guard for the office, and he’d snuck his family and others inside once they’d realized their apartment complex was being targeted by thugs who would “run the city before long” as Jensen put it.

“You two headed for the hospital?” he asked, probably seeing many trying to make it through the snow. At Michelle’s nod, he gave her a knowing look. “Lots of people gonna be down there waiting for help.”

“I know.” But she had to try, and Michelle squashed down the panic at the thought of not getting the medicine she needed.

Jensen must have seen her worry, and he figured it was for Reese. “What’s your friend need?”

Reese and Michelle spoke at the same time, although Reese sounded like a frog. “She’s not my friend.”

Jensen grinned a big toothy show of teeth. “Well you two… non-friends... look like you’re in a pickle.” He glanced at his group who all were bundled up and sitting in a circle amidst sleeping bags. Michelle noticed that they had no heat inside. A few were wrapped up in their sleeping bags trying to stay warm. “We have some things back here if you need them. Dana can help you. This is my daughter, she’s a nurse.”

A dark-skinned woman with braids that touched her elbow, came over to look at Reese. Quietly, Dana asked Reese questions before she took her temperature and even put her ear up to Reese’s chest. “I don’t have my stethoscope,” Dana said. “But it sounds like pneumonia to me. Just hearing you cough, you sound like you’re overly congested. And badly. You’d better get her to the hospital,” she said to Michelle with an urgency that made Reese’s head snap up.

“I’m right here. You can talk to me.”

Dana and Michelle shared a knowing look and then behind Reese’s back, they smiled at each other’s eye roll.

Reese had another coughing fit before she asked, “Dana?”

“Yes.”

“Did you ever work for a Frank Myer?”

Dana looked confused. “I have,” she answered. “He ran Lenox Hill. How do you know him?”

“Never mind that. If any of the hospitals are open, he’s probably there. He’s that type of person. And I’ve done more for that man’s career than anyone else. With donations, Cybercorp opened a new wing in Lenox just for the asking.” Reese gave Michelle’s surprised glance a dry look. “See. We weren’t always evil. Anyway. Frank will give you whatever you need,” she finished.

“Okay,” Michelle said. “I’ll go. It’s not far.”

Reese pointed at Dana then waved her away, used to everyone doing what she said. “Take her,” she told Michelle. “Tell her what she needs for me and he’ll give it to her.”

Dana thought for a moment and then nodded. Her father pulled her aside and they argued heatedly. Michelle heard him harshly whisper, “Risking your neck for these strangers.”

Dana answered him in a normal volume, “I’ll ask him for extra of everything they have.
