Chapter Sixteen

Glory gazed up at the serious face of Doctor Dani-Lee. It had been a very long day, and the savvy doctor took one last look at her before going home. Dani―as Glory had been told to call her―wasn’t specifically on her case or Enten’s. They were both being overseen by the Mass General staff. But Dani had been given permission―as the pair’s private physician―to be present for treatment and consultation.

She’d just told Glory her recovery would progress nicely now that the bullet had been removed from her right thigh. There was nothing to be done for her two broken ribs, but it had been determined there was no additional damage to her lungs or surrounding tissue. The only thing that bugged Glory? She remained seriously gorped up on the pain killers they’d given her, and she didn’t like the feeling of not being in control. And of course, because she wasn’t in her right mind, before the doctor left, she’d forgotten to ask if the dosage could be cut.

One thing Glory did remember was the comforting feat Dani had accomplished. Earlier in the day, she had written the order for Glory’s mother to be released from her assisted living home and into Huxley’s care. Glory had signed that paperwork. Dani, before leaving, assured her that her mother had transported well, and was excited to be ensconced in Quincy among the many gods whom she was able to see and with whom she could also converse.

This had kind of freaked Glory out, knowing her mother had the ability to interact with all of Enten’s cohorts, while she was still in the dark. But Dani let slip that she too was only able to see the gods who could become physical. Still, Glory’s mind refused to properly process the whole thing.

She’d admitted to Dani that the lunatic who’d kidnapped her obviously believed in gods. That she’d seen two of Enten’s friends appear out of thin air into a moving car, and she’d heard Mr. Cold’s voice inside her head. But did that really prove their existence as gods?

She could have been drugged and imagined the events of the morning…even though, as Dani pointed out, her leg and rib as well as her hospital stay said otherwise. She’d wanted more answers from the doctor, but Dani-Lee just laughed, assuring Glory that the two of them remained human, and it was not her place to enlighten Glory on any of the gods’ particulars. That was up to Enten.

This had led to further questions in Glory’s head. Why was Enten the one who had to explain? He’d cryptically said something about a Chosen in those final minutes before all hell broke loose. She had yet to see him for clarification because between the thigh wound and the drugs, it seemed beyond her strength, at the moment, to get out of bed on her own.

Thank goodness Glory had asked for―before Dani had finally wished her a good night―an update on Enten’s condition. The damned nurses had been so tight lipped.
